    Compression test. ..advice and next steps?

    I was thinking about putting 421 cams in my Clio 182 which is standard 130k mile engine, but with throttle bodies. The results from a dyno earlier in the year were disappointing (186bhp at the flywheel) and it was recently suggested I perform a compression check on the engine: I performed a...

    They are very popular with the Caterham /Westfield fraternity so you could look at their sites ... but they tend to sell quickly and for good money ,but they hold their price.

    Trailer size that is big enough for clio but fits in garage

    I made the mistake of buying a BJT Minno trailer based on Clio stats i googled only to find my car was just a little too wide. Fortunately I sold it at a small profit and then bought another BJT that it would fit on. So my advice would be the measure your own car very carefully before diving...

    Midlife crisis + understanding wife = New Toy

    Hi Chris, Hope you are keeping well. Unless the Lotus is a specific vehicle you have been offered (you don't say what type), then I would suggest you enjoy the Clio for 6 months or so (until the spring?) and then sell it and follow your dream and buy the Lotus. After scratching that itch...

    Jenvey Throttle bodies expected BHP?

    Unfortunately not as I had fitted them myself. However I do have a RR result from 2015 provided by the previous owner and performed by EFI. showing 185.2 bhp, on a standard engine apart from filter and Miltek exhaust but no cat so you can see i've spent circa £3k for less than 5 bhp which...

I had the car mapped by Dan at RS Tuning after reading reports that he is well respected in Renault circles and...
