All my bigger work is done by Alex at AWM who would do the timing and take the car for mapping locally to Andy at Engine Dynamics.
So it would effectively all be done in house.
Thanks for your response and honesty dude.
My car has never been mapped and is still on the standard awful lump cal anyway. So its either get the timing altered and mapped to suit or just have the standard car mapped to improve driveability.
Its going for its belts anyway so this is what is...
Hey all,
I know theer are loads of threads about the grp n timing, power and results etc. but im looking for experinces on real world driveability.
My car is due its next lot of belts at the end of the month and i'm thinking of having the cams timed to grp n spec and the cal tweaked to suit...
Been a long time here with no updates.
I have a request as I’ve not been able to find the right info just yet. Does anyone have a part number/size or spec for the rivets used to attach the triangular blocks that support the side skirts?
Not the skirt rivets ( I have those already) the rivets...
Something nobody else talks about with a BMS shifter is the control weight. The BMS shifter is a modified plastic item with an extended lever. It has next to zero weight to it and flops about all over the place. The gears don't feel positive and this in turn doesn't inspire confidence.
Try a PMS...
Probably look to move to a Brembo 4 pot caliper setup and 2 piece disc from PMS. The 2 piece items are not only rotor/bell but also thicker than the standard Clio discs. I suspect you're just not able to dump the heat quick enough or consistently with your braking setup as it is.
AFAIK i don't...
They're these but not PVC. The seller makes flaps from high grade Kaylan too of which they will make you a bespoke set, you just have to message them and ask.

Tape for the top is just 3M body tape, as used for...
Yes mate i always use RS29s however this last set I've gone up to the RSL2 for a bit more bite. I've run RSL29s in all my cars from my 600bhp Impreza, my MIni GP and the Cayman uses them too. I know they're a bit dearer but last 2 to 3x longer than everything else and you get what you pay for...
I've been paying the ULEZ for a couple of years if i pop into town anyway. I was aware the Clio was EU3 so never even bothered checking online.
If you have it in black and white with the date on that says the vehicle is compliant then i dont see how you could ever be fined.
Could have saved...
That clip will be PIA to the vac line, but should still be available.
There are a few webiites that just sell vehicle clips, id try there if no luck at Renault :)
I’ve since had some alloy pucks turned up and welded onto my sump guard to shim it down about another 10mm. This gives a nice layer of protection that I’m sure will be fine for road use. I wouldn’t run the plug valve for stage rally use.
I live in an area where I drive a lot of undulating lanes every day. So a sump guard was always up there as an addition to when I lowered it. Same reason I removed my genuine cup splitter… it was only a matter of time. 😅
(Apologies for the slight off topic)
Rob,
I run a full PMS sump guard that I still had to modify to house the drain plug. I wouldn’t fancy running one without a guard covering it.
Not mudflaps as such but I run small Kaylan stone guards up front to save a lot of rash down the side of the car. They can barely be seen most of the time.
I do give them a proper s**t life. Rain, snow, salt the lot as well as track use. I do pack the tops with grease to act as a barrier to keep the majority of s**t out.
Wow, I’ve just looked and even I’m surprised.
They were fitted on 123k and I’ve just clocked 153k so 20,000 miles!
I think I’m future I’ll be swapping them out every 15k though.
