I'll try and get a pic....

Hi all, I have an old ACER travelmate 220, and it needs a new motherboard/cmos battery, its a normal CR2035 3v battery with a couple of tags and a small lead off it. Does anyone know of a good laptop repair/supply service in the south east, as I hate ebay!! Seems a shame to bin the laptop as it...

A code reader is needed really. Where are you based?

Reply to them and say your car will move from its current location, at aprrox 13.00 on a certain date (preferably a sunday), to be returned to its exact position at 13.30 on the same date, that gives them exactly 30 mins to clean that exact spot. If they cannot do it in that time, then bad...

When are you doing brands again Terry? Was thinking if bringing my 449 out of hibernation.;)

My old car, god I miss her desperately!!! She is looking good there Terry, so glad you have kept hold of it. Thanks for messaging me, would love to see here again. Might join you at Brands in my blue one if I can. Matt.

My friend Mike was doing well until his hub exploded...

Hmmm. I might see if I'm back in time to swing past, will be doing a hillclimb/sprint with one of the clio's in the morning till the afternoon, so might still be in my stinky race overalls:S Matt.

Clutch judder when you slightly slip it to pull away? fault with the cover diaphragm spring or warped center plate I'd say. It needs to go back to them.

Possibly a tdc sensor and loom? Check to see if it's had the later one fitted, should be blue in colour for the new one, black for the original one, located on top of the gearbox.

I must admit, the quality of the kit is really good, but wear gloves when winding the spring platforms by hand, the threads are cut not rolled, so are sharp.

I had 172 springs on my valver, so I guess it can be done.

Phase 1, odessey blue, black wheels? If so that's me.

Re: 182 doesn't run right for 1st few seconds after starting... only in the warm weat Clean the throttle body? Or, ask Renault garage to see if its due an injection computer software update.

Here is the Mk1 killing cones and a headlight....:S

Ah yes. The mk1..... 2.0 with bike carbs

Yeah I know... Only had a phone on me at the time!:rasp:

The twins are in Odessey blue I think....the one on the right in the pic is the daily runner and apart from dropped suspension, standard. The one on the left in the pic is Ricardos old car, and is soon to have jenveys.

Meet the twins.

Make sure the under bonnet fuse/relay box isn't 'water cooled' or has corroded terminals, an ill fitted top section normally channels water in there.

Agreed, most 16v engines benefit from this sort of thing. If the brief is what you have achieved, brilliant stuff!

Hehe! hello mate. Yep the white one was pretty cool eh?

Also built these a while ago....

I now have 'Ricardos' old Blue Phase 1 to build as a fast road, poss. sprint car now too.

My old R5 race car.... Now lives in car heaven, I wore it out! Fantastic little car and sorely missed.... Have another rust free shell to build another one.

My old sprint clio....

My blue sprint car... This one uses bike carbs and goes very well indeed!

Pic on its way with flow result.

PM me your email and I'll send a photo, I'm not a full member yet so can't attach photos here. Basically the walls of the chamber in the head were machined to the gasket line and got rid of some valve shrouding, this improved flow.

De-shroud the valves for a bit better flow.... Andrew cooke published some interesting results on RTIOC when he experimented with the head and inlets on the F4R.
