They got pretty damn hot after I drove it. Will see what they're like when I get home.

For the last 2 days (both have been very cold) my O/S/R hand brake has been stuck on. Yesterday it wasn't so bad and I could get to my workshop to have a look at it. Took the caliper and pads out, cleaned it up, back together fine. This morning it is -10 and it is properly stuck on, only got a...

They were using it as the course car at the 24hr race. Had a good look round one that was parked in scruteneering, under the bonnet looked proper factory (was expecting it to look a little thrown in). Their ugly as f**k but the 'R' is so bonkers, I think the looks suit it in this case.

Spare mechanic and then re-fueling during the running. Missed the race finish one :rasp: but tah :cheers: From what I hear there were some good battles up the front. Got regular updates from the mrs who downloaded the live timing stuff and had a mini race controll going on lol. I was pretty...

I was at an interveiw monday with an AMR team who share 888's workshops and I wasn't allowed to see the 888 stuff, can see why now.

I've got an arm wrest in mine which makes cruising much easier :cool: I'm in the 21st centry and I've got the multi tune point with a USB stick loaded with tunes in the glove box ;)

Firstly these are all iphone pics so they're crap. Also couldn't imbed the Youtube videos, maybe a mod can edit for me? :approve: Any way, late in 2011 I got a call from United Autosport asking to work at the Dunlop Dubai 24hr this year on an MP4C Mclaren, I um'd and ah'd and eventualy said...

Still going strong! Thought more would have sprung up by now. As you've now discovered Ged, they bolt and plug in no need for changing plugs etc. Best thing I ever did to it was fit those seats.

Who at Renault decided a 1.2 16v was a sport :slap:? Any way I would expect the reason it's loud is becuase it's fucked and not been looked after. Whether the 'new' engine is any better depends on how well that's been looked after as well.

Just replied to your PM Dan. I did it on the eveing of the 20th after I asked about it. It was a bit of a faf and needed to fudge some 'special tools' due to the lack of space. Had to put an 8mm spanner onto the shaft of a 3/8" drive torx bit (can't remember the size, it was either T40 or T45)...

If buying new there are better alterntives to the R888 for similar money. They aren't the be all and end all of track day/road tyres.

Yes they will.

Whats the point in fitting solid top pounts then?

What he said tbh. Don't bother getting excited about cheap mods to get power as it simply won't happen.

Any quick tips on fitting it before I do it this evening in my dark garage?

That's destined to melt off then, of course if it can ever go fast enough to need to actualy stop and get warm. You can get proper high temp brake paint from helfrauds that will put up with heat and stop them from flaking :):race:

When I bought my spacers I was toying with getting 25mm on the rear. The rear is around 10mm narrower IIRC but I decided to keep the difference between front and back the same.

I like the wheels but the body kit looks gash.

Gonna blow us away with the spec?

Mr Kift?

That'll look rockin on coil overs sitting just right, Like those wheels more than I thought I would! :cool:

I've got 20mm spacers on mine and it gives it a much better stance with the lowering. I've only droped my 30mm in Eibach springs but I hit my SX splitter on and smallest of slopes with it lowered that small amount.

I was wanting to get my wheels done that colour, never got round to it and cba now lol! Looks real good though.

More like shitty MV1's on your tyres ;)

Just ordered a new kit from Renault, was only £35.

Not life threatening then?

:butt: Be that as it may. Which is classed as the 'Aux' belt on these tin cans?

f**k off, get your own thread!

Seeing as there seem to be so many belts and different terms thrown around. Is this the alternator and aircon pump belt tensioner or the cambelt one? Is it engine life threatening?

Only done 49k so far, coming up to 4 years old. Best find a price for a kit!
