Whilst the kids and wife were out in found a few spare hours to look at fitting the rs133 undertray. The holes all lined up with ones on the subframe but had no actual fixings or threads in them. I'm unsure how they are held on on the 133 but I went with rivnuts and stainless cap head bolts...

Fresh

As above, my replacement oem style (but with larger bars) rad was fine on the road but struggled on track and hots days with high ambient temps. I've swapped out to an external thermostatic oil cooler and ali rad but in the oem style lots of fins and I've dropped temp instantly, Not tried it on...

So a small update, the car is currently off the road. Turbo was whipped off and sent to TurboDynamics for a refresh. I also included a spare stock turbo just in case they needed any spare parts to work on mine. The report came back and it wasn't great tbh. There was some forward an back play in...

The proceeds of the picture sale from the TurboRenault.co.uk pap have been donated to Dementia UK this morning. Total came in at £315.30 (y)

supercharged and turbocharged 1.4 petrol

I've got a green one, been our family car for 7.5 years. Ours is povo spec though. Had the full rebuild for the oil issues early on in its life and doesn't use a drop. I don't top it up between yearly services. Great easy car to drive and can get a fair bit in it. I think in that time its...

Was tempted to get this 19t redone with a cut back turbine for a touch more top end flow, didn't think of a billet comp wheel too. Will call around in the next week or so 👍🏻

It's been a few weeks since blyton now and thanks to @Brigsy its had a pmt ali rad upgrade and mocal thermostatic takeoff and setrab external oil cooler. Temps now stay pretty solid in the 80s even with 28/30 degree ambient. I've done some constant silly pulls and can get it to the low 90s...

If anyone attends look for a bearded guy in glasses and say hello, I'm s**t with names and faces so use your name 🤣👍🏻

I'll be there in smokey if I wake up lol. Suppose I best rinse the crud off, not cleaned it since before csf

Thanks for the drive @Big_Steve_T The 182 is perfect, the upgrades it has have really given it more of that renault sport feel. It's fun and quick to drive, feels nice and precise and very willing to make ground even mid corner, the whole package is great. The Raider though probably just as...

So where are we at, Took the twingo to the Cliosport Festival. The drive up was stupid with accidents and diversions along the way and took about 4.5 hours. Drove up with @jezer101 and met up with @ricardo for a night in the hotel. Got up the next day and met up with the rest of you reprobates...

straight-lined that first chicane pretty well mind (y)

shadey tactics, id watch out for her tbh :ROFLMAO: ps don't tell her I said that, I value my kneecaps did the van real it back in though?...

maybe post a video? the engine still has adjustable tappets so that may need doing

looks slow.....

Excellent time was had, thanks to everyone involved. And thanks @Big_Steve_T for letting me have a pedal in both the cars👍🏻. That rb is quite simply the best thing I've driven in ages, whole setup is so complimentary and that diff..... yes I want one now. Great to catch up and meet new people...

@Brigsy 's cars are all fantastically built, mine on the other hand will be a disappointment lol, but thanks 😊

Little bit of prep gone on with the car now we are nearing 2k on the engine. Oil and filter change done, 3rd since the build so ill probably switch back to normal services now. I still need to give the brakes a little bleed I think. I was going to get the alignment changed up for something more...

On the other end of the spectrum vs flying lap times, if I'm in the way of anyone give me a flash please, ill notice and scoot over (y)

@GroupJ who hasn't posted here lives just down the road from me and is planning to leave at a similar time

I've got the Friday off now, planning to leave about midday to try and get through before the traffic build up. Need to drop off a gazebo to the site so will be there as early as possible

so looking forward to seeing this at blyton @Brigsy

Yeah ive not tried launching too much tbh, it wont be any good. Itll do a good impression of a Jack Russel on a laminate floor though

So this morning was nice, dry but cool so I decided to try and do some pulls on the draggy. 60 to 130mph is actually very hard to try and do in any sort of safety, same for 100-200kph. I think ill stick to my normal 60-100mph (still silly but safer still) managed to get the following result from...

the main earth strap by the gearbox still on? try putting a jump lead from the block tot he chassis to check

ill try and get to this (y)

Minge 🤣 not heard that in donkeys

cheeky little 1.2 badge on the boot would be good :D
