Gearbox starting crunching after 3000 miles into fourth, a few months later 2nd followed. Now the box is being rebuilt. On the 182, not the 197.

Well we're all sporting some interesting bruises after a mad day of rambo action, needless to say team CS ( aka team yellow ) kicked some serious arse on the day, even if i did accidentally grenade dave by accident lol :( Cheers for coming along to the chaps who made the effort, made it a...

At 70k your nearly due a cambelt anyway? Isnt it 76,000M?

Why are my pistons so black lol? :( So much for Vpower keeping engines sparkly clean :p

You forgot to add the ISOFIX to that list, thats easily worth 5kg on this model.

I'm no expert but if its the same 2ltr as the old Espace ( which has F4R stamped on the block ) then it would be lower compression. Ideal for boost conversion ;)

Seems like your in a back corner mate, obviously something sounds wrong but thanks to Renaults silly design you cant just pop the cover off to have a look :( Good reason to do a cambelt change though? What mileage is it on?

Lol, if I could leave it anywhere it would be but I live in Basildon.

Cup version saves 20kg with lack of aircon and a lighter, cheaper dashboard. Other cuts include standard keys, lack of external temp etc. Mines stripped: what you wanna know? ;)

50bhp shot but with controller kicking in a 60% delivery and timed for 6 seconds to 100% the bottles lost most its initial pressure/flow so never actually runs 50bhp, probaly 35-40bhp max. fuelling via STD pump ( 56psi i believe ) through T-piece before fuel rail, running to a fuel specific...

Well i like to break the rules. Block test dye remains blue after testing previous to normal blasts, but after a nitrous blast it turns green. 10 minutes later it will not fail again. White smoke from launches with nitrous activated and slight loss of coolant. Sounds like the HG to me :(...

Would have been the nitrous backfire i experienced early this year probaly popped a hole in it. Only fails a block test after a nitrous run.

N/A with nitrous. Already blown standard item. Also need Cylinder head Stud kit, coming up with ARP part No. 216-4301. It also states Renault F4R. Are the head bolt configurations the same for all F4R engines? Stud kit: http://www.part-box.com/product_info.php?products_id=18465 Head...

Are 197 head gaskets the same as the 172/182? In need of a stronger item for big power build but can only find uprated head gasket for 'Clio F4R' engine. Does anyone else know of companies that supply for the clio? Could do with a stud kit for the head too, got part No. 216-4301 from ARP for...

Diffuser: Mirrors, RS badges, Wing tips and Bonnet:

It'll be at Trax mate :)

Or just buy a megane and be done with it ( although they are questionably any quicker in standard form ).

I didnt go on the parade lap, couldnt be arsed to queue for ages and move about in the car just for one lap of rockingham.

Lmao i did think this was a little different from the 2009 parade lap. Kind of spoiled the idea of a club parade 2bh but oh well, aslong as you all enjoyed yourself :p

Strip it, but in reality even that gives small gains at best.

The only thing that smokes in my family is my little brothers vtr, big blue clouds of the lot lol.

It is a fire extinguisher officer ;)

Try picking up the show cage like vicky did, they sold new for £450 but she picked hers up for £200. They look the nuts and are really light, plus can be fitted with rear seats in situe for pussies. My rear cage weighs 35kg! but i know who will be better off in the event of a worse case scenario!

Lol what are looking at doing to it? I cant pull trophy red dents out btw... :quiet:

Lmao i dont accept any private work organised through her anymore! Have you noticed 90% of the stripped out club are from Essex? Must be the street racing scene or something :rolleyes:

Sometimes the stripped rear can be a little tedious, can give off the wrong impression to a certain crowd about how you drive/take yourself seriously. But back seats are for trackday pretenders lol.

JCC it's not exactly like i can get a carbon bonnet resprayed from stone chips is it. And even if it was a fashion statement I don't go around 'lol'ing and WTF'ing at your motor, so if you got an opinion again, keep it to yourself. Lol indeed.

Lmao i think the misses would rather i got the induction kit somehow :p

Exactly the reason I asked for professional opinions only... Please read the title before spamming my thread again with your useless 'i think I'm funny' unwanted inputs. Typical...

Lol, apparently ( so my JDM mates tell me ) £700 for an induction kit in their 'scene' is low budget as Civic and Scooby induction kits can cost upto £1400! Anyway price aside people, what are your thoughts on the setup and its claimed gains? £700 for 11bhp is actually very good value for...
