If I knew I think I'd keep it to myself!!!

Just get the R8, for the experience of owning and driving a super car. I had an R8 V10 three years ago for about 9 months. I was not a daily driver, but they are really easy to drive all the controls are like an A4 which is not a bad thing. I have quick cars in the past (Caterham's...

I've done a search on CS but can't seem find anything at all yet they say have a combined 30 years experience with Renault vehicles and specialise in Renault Sport Engine rebuilds, parts and gearboxes.

Yes, normally I would have considered this option I think the Police would take a dim view if I got stopped as this would probably (and should) be deemed a non essential trip at the moment and I do want to keep everyone I can safe.

Hi Can anyone recommend a good reliable courier for sending a bare 182 engine from North Yorkshire to Essex? I have a pallet to put it on. Thanks Tony

Alex, Thanks for your kind offer. Andy has been very responsive answering all my questions. It will be a pallet job, just got to find a company who I can trust to deliver it in one piece.

Hi, I compete in Harewood hillclimb Championship which is nice and local to me. I do all my own spanner work though NorthCupLoop rebuilt my gearbox with a Gripper diff. My concern is that I do not have a huge amount of time and if I have a £1,000 plus worth of parts in the build and I screw...

Hi all, I am in the final stages of committing to an Engine Dynamics ( based in Colchester) Level 2 engine rebuild will cost in the region of £3.5K, so not an inconsiderable amount. They have been pretty responsive to my emails which bodes well but does anyone have experience of dealing with...

Thanks for the update, I'm removing the ABS but keeping the speed sensors as per 1985Michael182's build thread and 10mm fittings makes life easier

Hi, how do you get on with fitting this 406 master cylinder as I'm intending going down the same route? Regards Tony

So it would seem if Paul takes personal charge of your engine you are OK just that I'll be parting with quite a few thousand pounds? An advantage of Paul he is only about 30 miles from me. An alternative was Engine Dynamics but they neither answer the phone or respond to emails which does...

Hi, please can you elaborate on you comment about RS Murray as I'm considering getting them to rebuild my Clio engine with several mods such as forged pistons Catcam etc

Hi Rob, don't mind the thoughts just pleased to receive advice. Yes, I placed each cylinder at TDC. You can tell when you have it 180 out as the leakage is even higher!

I followed the instructions as per several youtube videos. I even performed the test twice on two of the cylinders. The compressor was reading 80-90 psi and I carefully re-calibrated the tester are each test. I also let the test run for a least a minute to ensure it stabilised.

Well just performed a leakdown test on a cold engine; Cylinder 1 - 55% leakage - air from dipstick and inlet trumpet Cylinder 2 - 55% leakage - air from dipstick and inlet trumpet Cylinder 3 - 40% leakage - air from dipstick Cylinder 4 - 50% leakage - air from dipstick and oil filler...

Thanks everyone for your input, I,ve now got a leakdown test kit so I'll perform that in the next day or so then probably remove the head as the general consensus is that the problem may well lie in this area. For those who fitted Supertech valves did you go for standard or oversize?

Thanks for the advice. I have a compressor and can buy a leakdown test kit for about £50 -£60. which is what a garage would likely charge, so probably the next step Thanks

I was thinking about putting 421 cams in my Clio 182 which is standard 130k mile engine, but with throttle bodies. The results from a dyno earlier in the year were disappointing (186bhp at the flywheel) and it was recently suggested I perform a compression check on the engine: I performed a...

They are very popular with the Caterham /Westfield fraternity so you could look at their sites ... but they tend to sell quickly and for good money ,but they hold their price.

I made the mistake of buying a BJT Minno trailer based on Clio stats i googled only to find my car was just a little too wide. Fortunately I sold it at a small profit and then bought another BJT that it would fit on. So my advice would be the measure your own car very carefully before diving...

The current price is on the Ebay advert £335 + £50 P&P ( mine was delivered on a pallet)

I have just bought a 4 point cage from Single Source Motorsport and fitted it yesterday https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-Clio-172-182-Rear-Half-Roll-Cage-Motorsport-Race-Rally-Cup/373104968337?hash=item56deca0291:g:mYAAAOSwSnVevcFG Although there is no mention on Ebay he has a facebook page...

Hi Chris, Hope you are keeping well. Unless the Lotus is a specific vehicle you have been offered (you don't say what type), then I would suggest you enjoy the Clio for 6 months or so (until the spring?) and then sell it and follow your dream and buy the Lotus. After scratching that itch...

Great to meet you Chris, glad you got home safe and sound!

Unfortunately not as I had fitted them myself. However I do have a RR result from 2015 provided by the previous owner and performed by EFI. showing 185.2 bhp, on a standard engine apart from filter and Miltek exhaust but no cat so you can see i've spent circa £3k for less than 5 bhp which...

I'm north of Harrogate so RS Tuning in Leeds was quite close to me , EFI is the nearest one you suggested.

Darren, you are making me feel a lot better already ...thanks the quick response!

Earlier this year I fitted a KTEC Jenvey throttle body kit to my Clio 182 which has an otherwise standard engine (which has done 130K) other than a Miltek exhaust with a sports cat. I had the car mapped by Dan at RS Tuning after reading reports that he is well respected in Renault circles and...
