the secret scam im researching is almost certainly the MSD people, and also swindon motorsport was are possibly in the samne situation but on a smaller scale,
i will contact them and see if my ex renault sport racing contact is giving me duff information or not,
as for TWR, have you ever met...
does anyone one know what the place is near milton keynes that buys and sells (and maybe prepares) race engine and bits etc for renault and merc (maybe more) i believe its name is three letters or somthing like that,
any part of the vauge info i have given might be wrong, but i was chatting to...
ive got a hillpower one, and although they look simple there is re too them, one each and has a small flange to meet with the exhaust (one male one female) to mkae one nicely you would need to use the old cat and re wekd it to a high degree of accuracy be cause it bolts as opposed to clamps to...
Cliocup where did you source your bits from? could you reccomend anywhere better to get the bits from?
what "dot" brake fluid are you using?
and how tricky is it to fit it all?
im worried about excessive pumping of the brakes when changing the fluid because im told its this that wrecks the...
beware if thats amn all in price,
i can do cheap tyres, either fitted in Bristol or mail order
Good year NCT 5 or venturas form £42 inc VAT and delivery?
e mail if your intrested
i cant understand, there are loads of people willing to pay top wack for williams wheels, and prima sell them in 15" - 17", the best wheels for any clio 1 are 16" gold willy reps, look stunning and standard-ish, but no one buys them?
i good methud i have used in the past tou source difficult bits is a wanted add in the local fre ads (trade-it Loot etc) i thought it wouldnt work but its amazing what people have got lying around, and also people dont bother advertising as they are odd ball items, also when you buy something in...

i believe the GSD part means they are the latest EMT run flat design, might be wrong, they will be the newer pattern though, they look more like the Toyo/Potenza then the old F1, very good though, £54 isnt a give away price by any means.
IMO putting one of thne old fashined turbo engines in would e a step backwards,
the thing with the engine is it is fairly highly strung at present so hotting up cams and stuff wont make massive differnces, to get a usable differnce you would need to go to porting and gas flowed head and...

cheers mate ill give it a whirl!
ill try and source some springs, i can get H&R springs cheaply so these are as good as any i guess,
thanks for your help
im going to stick my neck out...
yes a valver is a good alternative, but this car would be very unique and very much a Q car which is always best in my book,
im not going to guess at the difficulty of the wireing but.. you never know it might be simple but i dont know,
other than the...
"Cliocup" i know this has been done a million time before but how difficult is it to adjust the torsion bar, i have brand new dempers all round (OE) but still running standard springs, would it not be too bouncy with the standard shocks? i only want to go a tiny bit lower, and only to improve...
yes well my williams engine has got 4 valves per cylinder,
and the cars water tight!!
something i would struggle to have in a RWD escort,
I have seen what must be the best and most original Lotus twin cam Mk1 there is, and i would dearly love one, the MK2 is ugly but they arent bought for...
Right,
My car is off the road for the next few days with the engine being swapped over (16v to williams) so to ease the wait can anyone who has driven both wet my appitite my with the possible performace gains i can look forward too,
for what little differnce it makes, the 16v was running a...
the 4.5 TVR lump is the real animal, always should be in preference over the older 4.0 or 5.0, you will never change my mind, 4.5 Cerbra, astonishingly quick muscle car, who saw the old clarkson video where its went head to head with the best super cars avalible at the time, and it killed the...
