They did a good job repairing the track after a mate of mine went off there the other month....:D

I prefer these things..... No probs with fia switch wiring problems.

Where you can reach it....?

Sorted now I think.

Can't pull up the part number for cup master cylinder at the moment as dialogys has died in my absence. Does anyone have the part number for cup master cyl/kangoo alternative?......cheers in advance, matt@codered.

Hi Adam, feel free to pop by and I'll look at the steering for you. I think I may have a pair of springs for the black car too. Ta, Matt.

At least you can find out if the diff circlip has popped just going up the drive :rasp: Does your mate want a project or a daily driver?

Which phase/year is it? Rusty rear arches and sills, play in the steering column, noisey steering pump, noisey hydraulic tappets to name a few things to look/listen out for. I co wrote a buyers guide many moons ago for 'French Performance Car', my old red car was used for the write up...

Does anyone remember the wooden front strut brace? It may be the same chap....? Hehe!

Have a word with whoever did the belt if its only been in there 18 months......? probably worth looking for another engine in the meantime.

Not sure about that. The cams and head have no signs of starvation, ie blued cam, or pick up on the cam bearings.

Come and do my 449....!!

I have 4. A mk 1 2.0 sprint car. Goes and handles very well. 2 odyssey blue phase 1 172's both mildly modified..... 1 Monaco phase 2 172 (now becoming just a spares car).

Had a cam belt change recently?

Re: sonny172cup "track racer project" Plenty of ideas, but your a bit far up the road for my welding setup....;) get the rest done and when its up and running, get it on my ramp at the workshop? ​

Re: sonny172cup "track racer project" You sorted the triangle plates?

Re: sonny172cup "track racer project" Glad you're getting closer to the end of the tunnel mate.....an evenings work that;).

Won't have idle control valve hole for a start....

I used a poverty spec mk1 clio fan, with just a piece of strapping either side if fits and cools perfectly.

Im too embarrassed.....(edited).

Bloody hell I'm old......1972.

hehe! Arrive and drive? I'd like that, but only if the hospitality was better than some sweaty cheese sandwiches.

Just finalise and publish the regs, if people don't like it then tough titties.

Nice!! Mine, quite old now. It cost me £600 a couple of years ago. Lifts to 1.5m (please excuse mx-5 that needed the sill welding, the unpainted walls and tons of crap littering the place, I'd just moved in to new workshop).

Surely the above posts are a form of handicapping then? When we do the Victor meldrew races at Brands the end of the year, they set us off reverse grid and at 5 sec intervals, in theory you should all cross the line at the same time, it brings the cars closer together and makes for an...

Nah, that would be an English bloke.... The French one would have called it 'la nouvelle Renault clio deux'.

Ah well, it works with other motorsport races....:S I think they like to call it win ballast. My point was to eliminate the chequebook engineers......but as usual the CS keyboard warriors were awake at the time.

I'm old, so I remember these adverts...... http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vObEIDsgicI My old Renault 5 gt turbo race car was called 'money pit'. The clio 16v sprint car is called 'divorce papers'.

Agree on that one! Unless someone has mentioned it already.... (Haven't read entire thread) a handicap system could be done to make it closer? Someone with 160bhp and can peddle is sometimes quicker than someone with 180bhp and can't peddle it.

Modified paper clip works well, was the universal Renault tool most of the time until Renault brought out the removal tools.....;)
