Hey Guys, A question for the technically minded CS people.. Why is the F4R engine so hard to get gains from? On say a fiesta ST an aftermarket exhaust can release close to 5/10 BHP whereas the clio will struggle for 3/4 BHP. Is it due to being quite highly tuned already or am i talking utter...

Hi Guys/Girls, I was wondering if you could clear something up for me.. Lets say my RS does 0-60 in 6.6 seconds and car 'b' does it in 8.0 seconds. From a standing start what does 1.4 seconds look like in terms of car lengths? Same goes for 1,2,3,4 second time gaps? 1 second=2 car lengths??

Well Renault have decided to be a complete t**t and decided they will not replace my centre box under warrarnty due to my de-cat. The best part is they want the equivalant of £215 for a new centre box....i told them i'd rather pour sand in my eyes. So i'm on the lookout for a decent exhaust...

Hey Guys, Just got back from my first service (10,000 km). I've noticed the last couple of days the signs i think of the dreaded '4k rattle'. I explained this as best i could (hard work trying to explain in arabic to someone who doesnt even have the first clue about a renault or any car) and...

Hi Guys, I'm getting my decat from GDI in the next couple of days and i just have a few questions. Is there any special fitting requirements i need to be aware of as the mechanics here aren't the sharpest knives in the draw. Is it just a case of unbolting 4 bolts and putting the decat in?? Also...

Hi Guys, Thought i'd do a quick run from 40mph to 90mph or as shown on my dials as 62kmph to 144 kmph. Does it look about right? Compared to Ben p's 172 it looks way slow..any opinions welcome...sorry about the quality,i used my W800i wedged inbetween the wheel. john...
