Try feeding it an apple or a sugar lump?

I use the Renaultsport Sabelt item from Volantec on the Internetz Great wheel and mines been retrimmed over the original covering so is just that little bit thicker and nicer to use

This is the weirdest thing I think I've ever heard. Genuinely sounds like there's a full size house trotting around your engine bay, how odd

Try a car with no power steering, turning the wheel makes me vibrate

Welcome

great to see it out again, you need to get in on the next mk1 outing @Daniel as there more and more of us with the mk1's back out and stomping round.

I lost overall peak torque, but the spread is considerably better, with much more available low down. Basically the age old adage of 'area under the curve' which is night and day over stock configuration for a low spec build really. To me it's the perfect balance of a n/a F4R. I've selected the...

Great to see her so close Neil, it's gonna be so damn good to see her sideways down craners at Donington or skittering down the goose neck at Cadwell

Coupled with some basic supporting mods as,detailed below it's yielded 212bhp and 159lbft but with 80% of that available from about 3000rpm, so a very solid, linear torque curve that isn't overly peaky but does keep pulling right to the 7800 limiter. Spec is : - 60K phase 1 172 engine - 197...

Well that answers it then immediately, it's a mk3 so obviously it stinks 🤣

I love my rs2 inlet, tickled the itch to mod without spending silly money, works on stock management etc and decent results

I'm actually not joking, mine used to tripod front and rear a fair bit, spent a lot of time and money making sure it doesn't unless I'm bouncing kerbs ;)

You need better suspension, a wheel in the air means it's not working and no tractive effort 🧐 ;)

Yeah you don't want huge power at Mallory, it's a short track with basically only 4 corners/complexes, so very easy to learn. But the undulating surface, off camber devil's elbow and huge sweeping Gerrards mean it's a bugger to master. Great little place imo and well worth a visit

Bosh the YouTube links in too, apologies for video two I forgot to edit it down as ran on in the pits and then cba redoing upload, lol.

Mint day at Mallory other day, gear linkage let me down in the end but overall the cars back and feeling f**king excellent!

Another one to watch for now too is the aux belt pulley/harmonic damper delaminating and having a similar effect

Airbox support was no issue, I just bolted through that bracket then the cover so the support is on the outside of the cover. Stock air feeds I just chopped the arch in the side of the cover larger to clear them

Epic day yesterday at Mallory, for now quick pic of the car in road and 'race' trim and link to YouTube video of a few laps including dice about with my mate Dan in his Red F4R powered mk1. Car handled a peach, so happy it's back performing as it should. Just need to start trusting my brakes...

Put a cage in, full track car now the Meganes the daily 😉

Sounds like a leak that's led to fustiness and if worse in boot could be the rear grommets or similar. AA,above, rip boot carpets etc all out and see

Looks mint matey and no worries, anytime

For track standard tried and tested is 7J as fitted from factory to truly avoid any issues

Plus what model

I get rarity and appreciation etc, but my resounding memory of the phase 2 V6 was blowing the doors off my mates one with my low boost mk1 Clio about 14 years ago. They're a catastrophically bad car in stock form, can't corner, can't accelerate, just comedy slow and lumbering. That memory has...

You won't regret it, mines still doing me proud

Just with a hamster driving the wheels, thus negating completely which wheels are driven 👌

Funny looking Clio that mate

Looks like it's going to be loud!
