Very basically the engine was built by Renaultsport with certain requirements, and the plugs were one, as they are a specific length, gap and heat rating

Heard it all before ;) x

it's about time I bought another tbh lol

Make sure it has the proper plugs - they NEED to be NGK PFR6E-10 I would put money on it being plugs or leads

Typical mate :( Oh well time for more power ;)

any decent make is plenty good enough mate, Castrol, Mobile 1, Shell etc etc Make sure it is 0w40 or 5w40 and must be Fully synthetic - Renault recommend 5w40 If you want to go a step further, get some Fushe titan pro S - it is ether based and is s**t hot

Ignore it. The demo would have been with REALLY s**t oil - you any decent oil and it will provide more than enough protection. If you look at independent reviews you will see they do more harm than good - this is VERY well known Modern oils do a fantastic job, and adding additives to it WILL...

This has answered your question - as suggested it is advisable to not rev to the redline at a standstill for 2 reasons: A: it makes you look a prat And B: the optimum launch for a 172/182 would be around 3500 revs - this is enough to use the power/torque of the engine as well as the...

True mate, but didn't the Clio cup cars run no baffles? I am sure they didn't and I know Tony and Jay don't with no issues? There of course may be plenty of cars that have failed due to oil surge, but I cant ever recall of one

Great to hear mate! Hows my rear shocks ;)

will have to pop over for a cuppa at some point

Dude!! Awesome pics! Glad to finally got the trip sorted, how are you feeling? :)

What pads do you have mate? If the wrong size pads have been fitted they could intermittently be moving in the calipers

I have no data, so I can only add in my experience, but in 14 years of tracking F7P's, F7R's and F4R's I have not had an issue with surge or bearing damage through 19+ Clio's, and I really don't go gentle on track.

Its not a new rocco, im betting its a mk1/2 rocco with either a 1.8t in or a 2.0 tfsi running 4wd

Flol!! You know me too well mate! (Though hoping to hold o to this for a while, have a wedding, plus home renovations to pay for next so will have to hold off on cars for the time being - read that as ill still have it for the next Llandow day lol)

Exactly lol ;) Tbh with in date tyres and decent padsI'd say it is roughly about as quick as my last track 172 around Llandow, so certainly not quick, but a little quicker than your average 1*2 and good fun :) Oh I found out why I had no brakes after 2 laps - previous owner had ran out of...

Bet I was having more fun though :rasp:

what management are you using mate?

First pothole is going to take one of those wheels out mind!

Yeah there are some dogs out there, though even the rough ones seem to command decent prices!

It spins in 1st, though it has ten year old tyres on so that may be part of the issue lol. On track last Saturday it was planted 95% of the time, I could get it to scrabble in 2nd gear but I had to go silly to do it. Lotus spent a long time developing the chassis to make sure I t had grip...

Yeah they sold the moulds to kia, though it wasn't sold over here, and didn't use any of the running gear or lotus' suspension. The engine is isuzu, but lotus actually helped design the engine - I thought they had just used it, but after reading up on it they helped design it and thats why the...

Yup - apparently for the size, weight and power, Lotus decided FWD is faster and safer than RWD - I wouldn't like to be driving a front engined RWD car with such a light rear end and short wheel base -as much as I love RWD I'll trust Lotus to have got this right ;) Well spotted, I've had...

Check out my thread mate lol. Elan was awesome, even taking it fairly easy on my ten year old tyres it still hung on like mad, will be really good to see what it's like with decent rubber

loving the comical lean on the Elan flol

A cuppa and a spin in the mini sounds good ;)

Awesome little car :( - All I have ever read on here is how it just keeps going lol

Spot on

OMG - end of an era :(
