The Clio absolutely smashed it on track today, for the most part it didn't miss a beat (well a few minors but) Its been a long while since I've done a proper track day, and I was a little dubious as to how I would like it in a full road car and without a manual box, but tbh the gearbox made it...
TurboRenault.co.uk head out to this every year, and as always is extending the offer out to you guys. I know this only includes the pre 2000 lot of you (for club stand or retro parking) but its still a great day out.
please see this link...
Right, wrapped up the ducting. Made a side panel from aluminium and bent it to suit the shape of the bumper in an attempt to "grab" as much air as possible. The opposite side was a little more convoluted with the amount of pipes still there, so after a little head scratching I remembered what I...
I've got a track day coming up in 2 weeks, ideally I want to get all the geo bang on before hand but with shimming needed at the rear I think I may have left it a little too late. Ill see how it is at Mallory and look to get it done before Anglsea in July. I may go a little PMT with the front...
Had a few little jobs to complete, I did the aux belt (didn't video it 🤦♂️) the belt actually looked pretty fresh and the tensioner had the same feel as the new one so I went with the easy option of not replacing that part of it. Ill save it for the future.
Whilst there I actually removed the...
probably self preservation. check the codes on the ecu. id do nowt but partial throttle with a bigger turbo on, itll be running lean when you boot it
id also fit the oem actuator and get it mapped asap
So I've been meaning to tackle this little job for a while now. When you "gain" access to fit a fuel pump on these Mk4's you are left with a bit of a hole. The Renaultsport way is to hack some metal out and cover it with a panel, a panel I didn't have. Mine was covered up with cardboard and...
With the nice weather we have been having I decided actually sort the slight blow on the exhaust from the cheepo gaskets id been using. I replaced it with a MLS style one that I was pointed too previously, though I had to extend the bolt holes too fit it.
Whilst there I found that the hanging...
Decided to bite the bullet and get back out on track. Back before kids (15+ years ago) I used to enjoy getting out, used to frequent some of the UK tracks and did multiple trips out to the ring too in various cars from 1.8 16v swapped R5, a 200sx and a couple in my old ITB'd ph1 172. That died...
Its bank holiday Monday and I've been meaning to give the car a clean for a while. Last clean it had was when I gave in the minor paint correction a few weeks back. I did go to have a blast at it a few days ago but it looks like the capacitor has let go in my Karcher so I've ordered a new one to...
Changed to the so say "better" flowing juke turbo out let pipe. The pipe work routing for for the FMIC is quite convoluted and the whole lot could be improved massively which I may look to do in the future, I think you could take a meter or so out of it pretty easily. That said I know it is the...
I have been trying the induction setup with the itg housing on and off and haven't really noticed any difference other than an increase in induction/turbo noise which I liked, so I've opted to fit the largest filter I could fit in the space. Fitted with a trumpet intake so may aid flow, I really...
