    Imagine my surprise....

    1.6 16v Zetec-Ss are 110bhp I think. They get pasted by VTRs and that because, um, they say Ford on the front of the bonnet...

    Launching An RT

    I used to launch my 1.4 RT at 3.5-4k, change at just over 5k in 1st, every other gear used to change when the rev needle hit 5.5k-6k. Thou that would prolly b different cus I have 16v dials in my RT! (So add a tad more on those above figures!;))

    1.4 RT

    Lo Paul hows tricks. Yeah ur car hasnt got a problem with rust but looking at it I think the previous owner(s) must of really really looked after her well. Glad ur getting a nice exhaust put on, what you getting?

    1.4 RT

    I thought that the phase 3 1.4 RT had a shorter ratio gearbox, or a similar one to the RSi, as the phase 3 rt had 75bhp and a 0-60 of about 11.9, the phase 1 & 2s, which had 80bhp did 0-60 in about 12.5. Marginal I know, but thats what I think anyway. If ur steering is heavy try getting ur...

    which struts/dampers on an RT

    You should be able to find a full set of shocks for £250, like Gaz or Konis or Avos. My shocks are shagged too and the fronts squeak, the ride quality is poor and I dont like going for a drive in the country lanes cus its bouncy and worse than an ice cream vans ride quality.

    Brakelight on spoiler

    Mines a phase 1, so I wouldnt have that problem or blinding the person behind me when I depressed the brake pedal! I like the look of that Osmose spoiler thou, nice.

    Brakelight on spoiler

    Want a nice spoiler for my RT but should I get one that has a brakelight in it or not? Probably involve drilling a hole in the boot for the wire to get through I would think eh?

    Lumpy lumpy 1.4 RT

    Clio 1,4Rt VS Kadett 1,6i

    When I first got my RT an old Astra 1400 beat me down the ring road in towards Leicester. Top speed he just had it I couldnt keep up. Although mine was not modded at all his looked pretty old but had a zorst, prolly an induction kit and/or de-cat. Saying that mine was completely standard....

    3 cylinders! Green is bad luck!

    Exactly the same thing happened on my 1991 1.4 RT. Has been sorta fixed with a heli-coil, but I would think a new head is in order as the heli-coil will probably have to be redone whenever you take the plug back out. sh*tter when it happens eh! And the car sounds like proper awful too! People...

    Mark 1 1.7

    I also saw a white Renault 4 GTi on the A46 towards Leicester on Sunday midday. Didnt even know R4s existed! Was a C reg, looking good too for its age! Better condition than my car lol.

    Lumpy lumpy 1.4 RT

    Hmm, just tried the HTs, must of done them up wrong as it made a pop sound when I tried starting it up. The HT leads arent original Renault ones by the looks of it, they say Silicone Power Lead on and two are long of equal length, and two are short, again of equal length. Looking at the...

    Lumpy lumpy 1.4 RT

    Cam timing, havent got a clue on that one. Ive assumed that the HTs are on correctly as it was in the garage. I think they took the head off to heli-coil it as there is some sealant stuff under the rocker cover. Didnt think HTs would cause this prob but if they could, what order should they...

    Mark 1 1.7

    Saw a 3 door Mark 1 in Tenerife with 1.7 badges on. It was a rob bacers car so it had a valver bonnet on and sun strip, alloys and stuff, couldnt tell what sort of spec it was, so, anyone shed any light on this? Engine from the R5 or the R19 perhaps?

    Lumpy lumpy 1.4 RT

    After my sparkplug-shooting-out-of-head saga the garage have put it back with a helicoil. Also after a lot of hassle with exhausts and whatnot my car is still really REALLY poorly sick!!! Itll start on ignition, and even continue to run if I pull a HT lead out, but the engine vibrates and...

    Phase 1 Rubbing Strips

    Inside your drivers door, halfway down on the right, near the end of it there will be a small round black plastic cover, prise it off (bein careful not to scratch the paint!) and there will be a torx screw behind this, loosen this (watch that you dont completely unscrew it and lose the screw...

    rt center pipe

    The centre pipe attaches to the cat which attaches to the downpipe so thats where its held up from that end, at the other end it attaches to the backbox and the backbox has 2 or 3 brackets holding that up, dont think the centre section is held up anywhere by its own brackets. Dont think its...

    1.4 RT Exhaust help

    Bloody garages dont know sh!t! Saying that, neither do I.... They are reluctant to order a centre section because they arent 100% sure which one will fit, plus the powerflow backbox has a sleeve connection, and the normal Clio centre sections have flanged connectors.. Thou I reckon you could cut...
