They're French; it's to be expected. I work with a lot of French guys, some over here and some in France and the ones working here are getting away from the guys in France because they're all the same. It's not just Renault its the majority of the French population. I'm not xenophobic, it's just...
The fact is (for all those that clearly don't know a great deal about Ford gearboxes) that the iB5 wasn't the best (just like the JC5). However the only issues with them were on heavily abused high mileage ones with diff bearings and synchros (usually 2nd/3rd). Cars that would miraculously blow...
Borrowed a set of cooksport springs and cup shocks to get it rolling again. Took it around the block and have a few not so good noises...
I'll be needing some longer driveshafts. The roll centre kit combined with the cup subframe is too much for the ph1 shafts. Shame really as they were brand...
Look in the group buy section for the Mark Fish Safety Devices cage. It's bolt in and fits around the standard interior so you can leave that in to begin with and then strip the car later.
BIGASH If I wait I'll be without the car for another couple of weeks at least. My hope is they're on the way and arrive today but he's in China now so no way of finding out. They've had various delays so far, the car is up on stands, I haven't been able to use it and I missed a track day on...
Although I use it on track, I'd say I do 10% track driving and 90% road. At the moment my car is 100kg lighter than standard, when I'm done with weight loss it'll be around 940-950kg with me in it and a full tank of fuel.
400lb springs are enough on the front for me, especially with the weight...
Have you tried Konis? I've had both new cup shocks and Konis in conjunction with a complete suspension and steering component overhaul. The Konis offer the better ride and in more ways than just compliance.
It's ecu pin 65.
Btw does anyone know what pin it is for the ph2? I've got a gen90 ecu so I don't have my shift light anymore :( not that I need it but I'd like it working.
They are, but that's one of the downsides in that the bars are close to your head if you had a bump and no helmet.
I'd rather a non-dash dodger so the bars follow the frame of the car.
