That's pretty much bang on the cold rev limit. How odd if the usual suspects are ok.

Can you even get cooksports at the moment?

That sucks then.

Nothing like the video then.

Bugger me a meet reasonably near me.

Got a pattern system and aftermarket cat on my Cup. Seems to be doing it's job.

Does it sound like this? Clio 182 Suspension Noise: Could be the usual Clio top mount squeak where it catches in full lock. Is this a sport or not? Both my 182FF and 172 cup did it and only on full lock. Nothing to worry about.

The joy of engine builds......

Most standard suspension setups in good condition will take a 30mm drop.

I was surprised to read this to.

I was under the impression that the cup packed 182's had the biggest bearings of the MK2's. Try searching for Cup racer bearings/hubs. Turns up a few bits regarding laguna 2.2D hubs. Think Cup racers had beefier rear bearings as well but I could be talking out my arse.

A full 3mm lower. A low car doesn't necessarily mean better handling hence the thread regarding roll centre correction. Springs from Renault are 90-100 quid each. I know I bought one for my Cup as it had been replaced with the wrong spring. Hence the reason people go for eibachs or cooksports...

Decent coilovers are expensive. The only thing expensive on the Clio is the springs and there are suitable aftermarket alternatives.

As soon as I started trailing the brakes into corners I stopped bubbling the paint on my poorly refurbished alloys. Check your discs and pads as the difference between a well worn standard disc and half used pads and new standard brakes was night and day. Standard brakes work fine with road...

There is always one exception! I was completely referring to fully floating pulley setups.

If your rev limit is 7,250rpm in 2nd when warm you haven't got it.

Never owned a car with a Ford CVH in then. They did it just for fun. My friend found the wrong gear in my XR2 and spun it up enough to Jack up the followers and bend 4 exhaust valves. Thankfully followers are more robust these days!

You can do it the Renault way with the pulleys locked as many have I'm sure if the timing was spot on (hence the large numbers of poor Dyno results and poor idles) and take the chance it was all perfect before and it won't move even a little bit once it all settles in (unlikely) but why not just...

I've come to prefer wet track days for that very reason. Properly kills the advantage the dry rubber and dry setups have and very few people fork out for track wets. Evens the Playing field as a rubbish Subaru driver found out when he broke the rules overtaking me and someone else and then I got...

http://www.cliosport.net/index.php?threads/764140/ Thread for inspection hole.

Copied that from an old thread on the subject before I got a car with the belts done. Also there is additional torque that is applied to one of the pulleys to find in one thread that makes sure it doesn't slip and I'm sure in the last 6 months a picture of an Inspection window on the gearbox...

No there isn't the traders are helpful but aren't gonna give their hard earned info away for free although they are helpful if you get stuck. Also this engine is annoyingly easy to balls up and suffers with even minor timing errors If you really want to do the job do plenty of searches on here...

Best thing about road tyres is as you say they won't hide bad driving and fall into understeer quickly as a result. Just a bit of poorly excuted technique as you start to learn some more skills shows you straight away there is more to come.

The original post is a dot to this thread :)

Cured a misfire with a second-hand coilpack.

Totally agree but these reviews said they were awful in the dry as well! Usual tyre reviews. Several saying they're terrible in any conditions and then a couple of well written reviews by sensible people actually telling everyone what the tyre is like! Review sites always amuse me.

Yet the internet say they are terrible. People moaning of understeer and terrible wet grip. Sounds like the familiar comments every single tyre ever made has had by someone at some point [emoji14]

Although there is nowt as determined as a really determined idiot. Anyone see Jordan I think it was drive on top gear that time. Tyre pressures won't save tyres from that sort of cornering lunacy!
