    These are the harder red ones.

    I have to drive this to work tomorrow....

    Not exactly masters of fit and finish the guys over in Renault. Things like the grab handle coming off in my hand as I closed the door (before I put a fecking big screw in there). Then again, if I wanted fit and finish I would buy something fat and boring like a Golf R32! ;)

    I have to drive this to work tomorrow....

    As said on a previous thread I have fitted the newer KTR Race/track engine mounts. This is the result... :lolup:

    What have you done to your car today ???

    These were ridiculous. The car vibrates at an insane frequency, your ears feel weird because the air pressure becomes altered, my windscreen mounted phone holder becomes a blur and my dash sounds like a hive of angry bee's. But these mounts along with the pure strut brace have changed the...

    2118 two designs!

    I think I have the original ones. They came from a cup car. They have the speedline logos imprinted on the wheel face rather than a sticker. And they have three lots of writing between some of the spokes, one of which states the weight. Will take some pictures tomorrow.

    For anyone with that Clicking/clunking knock under the car...

    The one you get when you pull away sometimes... Take out your battery, and check the nut that holds the pin in the gearbox for the gearbox mount to mount to. I have been trying to track down my knock for a long time and when changing my engine mounts today I found the pin was loose. this was...

    What have you done to your car today ???

    I fitted this little lot. (except dogbone as my jack is a bit rickety and did not fancy climbing under the car) When KTEC say this kit is not for road... they speak the truth. I will be keeping the red mounts though, even with the standard dogbone my engine is rigid. Honest opinion, if you...

    The most beautiful track car going

    I don't know what it is about old Alfa's. Something about them is just so right. Some great thinking in the 75 too. Gearbox is in the back for example. Look fantastic on track bouncing around with E30 M3's and the big Cosworths.

    I must not brake hard enough on track. My little Clio has never really boiled it's brakes.

    Sierra RS 500 speed with Italian looks.

    Did this tonight - anyone want one?

    I think this should be printed onto T Shirts. I know I certainly would pay for one with a PH1.

    Anyone fitted the Ktec "race" style engine mounts?

    They list two types, a silver and a red set. Red set being firmer and more for race/track cars. I have taken a punt on the red ones for the road. I give the little PH1 some abuse on the track and I have torn two brand new Renault items so wanted something strong. Am i going to regret this on...

    People who know F4R Engines

    I seem to remember reading that on older engines it can do more damage than good when using a flush. Unsettling old carbon deposits that are effectivly filling gaps etc? I could be wrong, just curious.

    People who know F4R Engines

    Some pretty High mile ph1's here in NL then. I wonder if I can hit the 200k Mile mark. I drive it fairly sensible on the roads because my drive to work has a 100KPH Trajectcontrole. It does however do a few track stints, although I do try to be mechanically sympathetic. No bouncing off rev...

    Clios are underrated on the quarter mile!

    Judging by your profile pic that's down to the fleshy bit behind the wheel of the ignis.

    Clios are underrated on the quarter mile!

    I'm not trying to take anything away from you. Seriously. I'm glad your happy and it sounds like you had a lot of fun. The sad but true fact is that in the grand scale of things... the Clio is not all that in terms of straight line. Take me to cadwell park or ty croes on the other hand and you...

    Clios are underrated on the quarter mile!

    In my most recent track day I was out dragged by some pretty ordinary stuff. A Megane estate gt line and a BMW 3 series. Both diesel's. Despite my lack of track knowledge I still managed to pull them in under braking and in the corners. I think most modern sales rep diesel's will have the RS...

    Quick question...(regarding top mount swap)

    I have Ktec gold top-mounts. My Pure top-mounts and strut brace should arrive soon. I'm going to attempt the swap myself... I have Eibach sportline springs on koni adjustables. Will I need spring compressors to swap the top-mounts over? or will I get away without?

    Level 10 now. Got customization for the titans!! Yay!

    Titanfall

    Team balancing kinda sucks. Been on a server this morning where the other team were all level 14, we were levels 1-4. Its quite fast paced. Really good fun. So far I really like it. I'm not great in the Titan's though, going to need some practice.

    What have you done to your car today ???

    Not today but earlier in the week I placed my order with Pure for a topmount/strutbrace package.
