Looking at replacing the standard renault carpet heatshield/soundproofing which is attached behind the exhaust manifold with some nice metallic stuff. I have completely forgotten the name of the stuff which most people use. Its metallic and patterned. Any idea? Thanks Carl

built up the ITB's ready for new engine. Jenvey 48mm bodies with 120mm trumpets.

Removed the engine on Saturday. Ready for a tidy up and new engine to be fitted within the next week or two if Craig drops it off tomorrow. Carl

We had a guest driver driving the car at that point (notice no BARRON number plate) so went past him. Its a member from here running slicks. Carl

always had 48mm bodies

yeah with 120mm its very close with the bonnet, if not touching the bonnet. People have used the 120mm trumpets before so it should be fine. Carl

New engine is built!!! Craig has finally got his act together. Looks excellent. spec: F4R engine re-bored to 2.1ltr (2066cc) Wossner Forged Pistons (12.8:1) 84mm Catcam Forged Conrods Catcam 423 Race/Rally Cams (VVT Delete) Jenvey 48mm Throttle Bodies Jenvey 120mm...

Coilovers have been re-built so expect them to turn up tomorrow. Wheels have been repaired. Carl

Thanks for that :) will have to investigate mine. Whats the difference between the 182 cup bottom arms and 172 bottom arms? Carl

Ah nice one. He said he shortened the stroke so they are abit more durable. Just been Reading your thread. How do you get so much camber? Curreently got the ast top mounts but do you use camber bolts aswell? Thanks carl

haha yeah i have been speaking to Curtis, they have been re-built now and should have them on friday. Curtis has really got his act together in terms of customer service, he has been excellent and would recommend him to anyone. What were you getting done at AST like Burp? Carl

nope, does look like it tho. Sideways through an oilseed rape field at 80/90mph, must have hit a big rock as it damaged two wheels and collapsed one of the coilovers :dapprove: Carl

haha its been going to be ready for the past 6 months mate. Craig 100% promises me that it will be delivered this weekend. If not i think ill get whatever hes done back and finish it myself. Carl

LOL you werent the only one :lolup: we had a bit of a crowd in the end. Nothing funnier than a bright blue clio covered in yellow flowers haha

:lolup::lolup::lolup: we had 1.2 badges on the side aswell, didnt help as we got some right random looks haha

After surviving a good day at croft last monday it was time for another croft day. This time RSOC track day. I started and did the first two sessions, although the track was damp the car performed very well challenging some very powerful cars including a couple of evos and passing a few...

Hi Lee, That was Bazzon who went into the field aswell as him fitting the wheels (i made him for crashing :lolup:) Any damage to your car mate? Its a shame we werent out on track at the same time, would have been nice to have a play :D I had an epic session against a couple of evo's who were...

Diff is probably the best bit about the car imo. The difference is staggering and you really notice it on track. I actually get a lot of people comming over commenting asking if i have a diff fitted due to how well it pulls out of corners. Carl

:lolup::lolup::lolup: Funny you should mention that. Its running AST coilovers with re-valved rear shocks with stiffer springs. But....it now requires the front re-valving and re-building after Bazzon managed to spin out on the esses and the front passenger side has given up. Carl

Croft 6th June 2010 - RSOC Sessioned day Carl

O2 are the best ive found. At my flat at uni we download around 100gb a month. No throttling at all. Only costs us £9 a month + we got the first 3 months free Carl

It already has a Quaife LSD ATB fitted. Carl

yeah was fun :) Currently with its standard engine its 202bhp and probably around 930kg so only 220bhp/ton. Is downfall is its straightline speed tbh. With its new engine it will be approx 240bhp at 930kg so 262bhp/ton :evil: Carl

Past most, the only thing i had trouble against mainly was a couple of very fast caterhams and an Atom. The most annoying thing during the day was the Ginnetta Juniors who wouldnt let you past for a good couple of laps :( edit: oh and i forgot the BMW race car which was very fast

Nope havent booked the RS day but will be doing Oulton this year aswell as rockingham and silverstone. Carl

Croft 31st May 2010 - Open Pit Carl

As hutchie said thats mine and adrians. That picture there was taken when we had our guest driver out (can tell as it has no number plates on). Carl

i havent had chance to check them over yet but even if i only get 1 day out of each set, thats £40 a day. Carl
