@Sonic Boom tidy engine bay. A few questions for you, what ECU and wiring loom you running? Also what bonnet pins/catches are you using, look like the quick latch type going from the pins

What’s the thinking behind a quaiffe over a gripper? @Tomotek

Set the seat up central to the steering wheel and live with the pedals being offset. Or you can remove the pedals from the pedal box an modify them to sit central to the wheel

I have welded in seat bars and a fixed bucket seat, the seat is central to the steering wheel. The Clio's pedal box is offset to the right about 50mm, Renault designed the car to be LH drive and never bothered sorting the pedal box position to suit RH drive cars. Just need to learn to deal with...

@Raceface_13 The fittings themselves aren't great but capable of doing the job. Its the way which they are fitted to the plenum back plate, there is next to no threads securing them with the plate being so thin. Also if i were you i would be splitting the manifold down and resealing it all If i...

It will be interesting to see what you find @bloke, I cant see how the inlet was the issue if it was all working fine beforehand. The new inlet defo needs new vacuum fittings etc, the ones supplied are dreadful! I have the first version fitted to my own track car and it has zero issues and...

@bloke i know the car and person you refer to above. That same car put a rod through the block on the next outing. I am not sure where the idle issue etc came from if it was fine when the inlet etc was fitted and mapped

@Nathan Evans if you don’t mind me asking how much did you get the diff for?

Yes I’ve heard of them. There was a lad local to me who bought one an had no issues. Pretty sure they cost the same as an M factory an similar to quaiffe in price are they not?

Be good to see the green clio back out on KH @neil a I’ll hopefully be taking part in SLS.

whats the red light on the dash doing?

169whp is a strong figure.

@1985michael172 if you plan on getting rid of the CM moulded ones let me know a price an PM me some pics

No need for a T peice. The brakes are plumbed up as per renaultsport themselves do it, diagram below. Car is away tomorrow to go on a brake tester, then have alignment and corner weights done.

Great work john, good to see it coming to together. Hopefully the car is reliable an produces the times as that a chunk of cash you have thrown at it

I shall get it in for proper corner weighting and alignment before the next outing. Will reassess after that.

@JB21 I am leany towards the same thought as you with the front left being a fair bit lighter. Hopefully some more people with track/race cars chime in with further thoughts as its a PITA

Standard cup master cylinder so split evenly between the 4 ports. Its all as per this diagram

Alignment an corner weights are there or thereabouts but not perfect as not been set up with a Hunter or similar yet. Been set with string for now and i am usually pretty close, having some mapping tweaks tomorrow then i will get it booked in for a proper alignement

Recently renewed the complete braking system on my race car (used to run ABS but deleted it all). Car now runs hard lines through the inside of the car via a bias valve, all new calipers and flexis front and rear, new discs and pads all round. Also now run a 4 port CUP master cylinder with 1...

the bit looks bad, although they have a cost of £550 for the ARB's. The main cost has been in fitting and setting up the suspenion

@Tom Johnson that is surprisingly soft on the rear! The ARB must make a huge difference, would be interesting to know costs for such modifications

Never mind the mounting if the wire tow eyes. What’s going on with that rest of the front end?

@Raceface_13 I would not advise running it without being mapped to suit. The fueling will be all over the place, you could drive it gently an keep the revs sensible though as the lambda will allow that, it wont be able to adjust fueling for WOT though that is for sure

@doug6488 looks shite 😂

I don't think it has anything to do with it being a cup. My car is insured with Cage, buckets, harnesses, ABS/Airbag delete, AST's blah blah

I was more expensive this year at £270, and that's limited mileage and SDP no commuting. I was surprised it had gone up tbh

As it stands at the moment. Will be making a few changes this week though.

@White16valver i am going to clean all the earths tomorrow an then see how it goes, I also now have a spare stalk to try aswel. Hopefully resolve the issue tomorrow before testing later in the day

Measure your O ring an PM me the size. I have 2 spare master cylinders with O rings that are good. If I have one the right size I will post it with the brake lines
