Nope not going to E-coat it, there is enough access into the box sections on the car to seal them so just going to paint the whole shell

It's a tillet screw type proportioning valve, if you aren't in a rush then hold off and I will let you know if it works or not in March which is when the first shakedown test will be

Ahhh okay I see :) Yes I have been told a longer first gear is an advantage

The gear kit was apparently originally designed for the R5 so I guess the ratio's could be the one used in that box I don't really understand ratio figures lol

I thought the ratio's on the gripper box were fixed and the same as standard?

Some people have said 20kg's and other have said 40kg's I'm not too sure but any weight saving will help :) Looks very complex/expensive lol! Yes we do :( Not yet Chris ;) Haha I don't tell my girlfriend anything about the car she has zero interest!

Lol at secret tyre pressures :) Thanks for the passenger laps it was really good and I enjoyed it! Hope you get the brakes sorted

Yeah I could only find OPB and Compbrake that do cable ones. Ahh I forgot the mk1 is getting a different engine :)

I think the only way for me to work it out is to buy one and then try and I can't risk spending that much and then not getting it to work! Also would have to sort hydraulic clutch issue :( My seat is already against the rear seat squab lol!

Yes I have got a list Andy, It's not essential but at some point I want to do it and I am hoping I never have to have the car stripped down as much as it is now so it makes sense to me to do the difficult jobs now and then do other 'bolt on' items on my 'to-do' list when I can afford to

Yes + vat, it's the grand total that is scary and not enough of an issue for me to spend that amount on!

Had a look at that one the other week, for me to keep the pedals far enough away from me I need to go for an underslung one and then I struggle for clearance with my new PAS system :(! Hopefully my new setup will be perfect :) Yes I have heard a few horror stories, rust on the underside is the...

Haha yes standard Renault lol!

We are allowed the adjuster in car as long as on the min setting it still allows 25% braking force to the rear (So no in a clio) PS out of interest which pedal box have you fitted to the mk1 Chip :)?

Yes Tony you are right but by the time you buy something and re fab it to fit around the steering column its just not feasible for bias adjustment :( Nice though!

Yeah but then FD on top, build cost, diff and your then + vat and looking well at the thick end of 5k! :(

Not too sure about the lever type but it wouldn't meet my OCD requirements having two :o

Apparently the price you payed was a reduced price to clear old stock and just the kit now will be 2.5k :(

I know of 3 and you guys could make 4! I'd only be interested at their original price and not what they are thinking they would have to increase them to though :(

No unfortunately not, the valve works by adjusting the pressure depending on how much brake force is applied so at 200psi it will send all of it to each corner but then as that increases it then reduces the pressure to the rears. If you fit a second one the pressure out of the first would be...

Wow they said 5 when asked earlier in the week lol! Does look very nice Kenny :)

That's a shame :(

The car will be going white all over and then I will re wrap the external bits of the shell myself so just the roof and the two rear 3/4's :)

Yes I was a bit worried too so just got to hope Tillet and demon tweeks are right with what they say! Tillet said they will take it back if it doesn't work which gives me some confidence. Haha this is where I find its had a massive repair on a panel and its been filled! I said to them about...

Yes that is the problem as most don't but the Tillet one I have got works on pressure reduction so the more pressure that goes through it the more it reduces it, most of them are just a restriction in the line. It's the same type renault used to use on the Group N cars I just copied it from the...

I originally wanted to but the costs involved were a no go, Managed to get a really good quote to do it and now the shell is fully bare it would be wise to do it now if i'm ever going to do it and unfortunately I have OCD so I think it will get done lol! 172 cup master and then the two M12's to...

Don't know mate, it's made by loctite and is decent stuff I used it to hold the splitters on my road car

The standard blanks are injection moulded with a plastic stud and then a nut from the underside but the carbon ones have to be bonded on

Yes you will need to if you remove the ABS, you might also want to fit the 172 cup engine loom as that doesn't have all the crap for the ABS and is an easy fit :) His direct email is liam.fraser@earls.co.uk

PS you would need to measure the fronts again as mine will be different fittings for the Alcons and the lengths could also be different
