Personally i wouldnt drive it - if the pulley comes off and causes the belt to snap Renault will probably say its down to driver error are tell you the belt snapped ( wear & tear item ) then they wont cover it under warranty
What Kart you race mate - me and my pal have just dropped a blackbird lump in an home made Kart - its frightening. Runnin the same lump in a mini we built but with a 100 shot of gas
Still waiting for the reply of EVOgone about the £100 bet ???
Cant wait to take his money off him - just imagine all the Mr Kipling cakes i could buy with £100 - yummy
The most common fault is the alternator pulleys worn . Sometimes the bearings fail causing a squeeking noise. It could also be the PAS pump pulley are air con pulley. On the F4R lump the auxilary belt powers all 3 of these ancileries and if any one of them break it will send the auxilary belt...
Im getting to you now arent i :D ......... Did you know Mr Kipling goes to the Ring ? him and his wife ( Mrs kipling ) are exceedingly good at track days and they to have an EVO. Ive also seen them racing at Donnington against mr and mrs Eclair ( inventor of the chocolate eclair ) they to had...
LOL - people that cant do it thereselves always bring there friends into it.
I will race you in what you own now - not what your dad drives are your mate. I will bet you £100 i beat you
Once we have had the race i will open up a packet of Mr Kiplings "new" cherry slices and we will have a...
The car is fine - fancy putting your money were your mouth is and racing me on a track are quarter mile ???? bet ya i kick your ass.
Almond slice is my favourite btw mmmmmmmm
Im happy to see you keep pictures of my car on your PC
And if you "apparently" know your stuff you will realise that the strut brace fitted is an OMP with a sticker on it ...lol - you should write comedy strips mate.
That has now been removed because they are s**t as 1st stated
Now...
The Vengabus is coming
And everybody's jumping
New York to San Fransisco
An intercity disco
The wheels of steel are turning
And traffic lights are burning
So if you like to party
Get on and move your body
This guy goes out buys a car ( 172 cup / evo ? ) does the ring and thinks hes schumacher. Try building a car from scratch and blowing the doors off any modern day production car that tries it on - on a track or the strip. When you have succesfully done this i will listen to any info you have to say.
The whole idea of the bend is to increase airflow to the throttle body as the standard one has ridges in it that theoretically slow down air flow - if your after it for performance reasons get the hillpower one - i can fabricate you one out of polished steel for about £40.
So Renault fit £55 strut braces to there £100k clio cups - lol. I am not going to even waste my time talkin to you pal. Go and put your feet up and have a nice cup of tea - maybe some Mr kipling slices ?? - ive forgot more about mechanical engineering and building modded cars than you know.
OMP are crap - they flex. Fit one on the rear struts and you can push hard on the centre and it bends because they are cheap and tacky. A proper strut brace should be firm and rigid with no flex at all - the whole idea of the strut brace is to enhance rigidity. From my experience home made ones...
Unless its a proffesional strut brace set up correctly it wont do sweet FA. Vicky isnt the type to give her car death and it will be more for show than go.
Take the cone off Vicky - it will slow your car down. Get a viper ram air with cold feed and just decat your standard system - it will make a very noticable difference. I can de-cat it for you if you like ?
lol - thanks for letting me know. I will bring a spare steering wheel with me when i come to take yours if im running low on spares ;) if that doesnt work i will get your mother to put her mouth round the column shaft and control it with her powerful jaw muscles.
A few people on this site need to look at this car and see that you dont have to stick stupid bloody bodykits all over your cars and silly wheels to have a nice looking motor. This guy has kept it clean with a few suttle mods and thats all you need to do - see how every one is complementing the...
LAD are brilliant - i recommend them highly
My mate took his car there and wanted it De-tuning. They sold him the LAD 200 conversion and it went in with 172bhp and came out with 167bhp - Fantastic ! ! !
