About 55quid from gsf, and about 85quid from renault - definately worth changing

Possibly, on a decent diagnostic machine, but you should replace it every 5 years or so - they generally get clogged up and slow down sending signal

Thanks mate :)

black is normally overfuelling - as said at a guess a duff lambda or plugs -

Just to explain a bit further John, i had a missfire, and removed my plugs (they had done approx 35k) and they didnt look great - i had some super4's i bought of ebay as i too did wonder if you really needed the expensive plugs, so i fitted them and it ran with a missfire every few seconds -...

When renaultsport designed the f4r for the clio's it was designed specifically with this plug as part of the desigbln - im sure Fred has a copy of a spec sheet from Renaultsport specifically stating not to use anything else - remember the plug has length, heat range, design of end tip etc all...

This is the front so far, backs still to high

So whats everyones ride heights then? anyones measured? had a bit of a play after work on the ramp but run out of time, needs to be lower, fronts almost right

Very true, plus i also have storage so im technically better :DI seriously cant see how anyone could expect to sell a car with pictures like that

Oi watch it you ;)

I mean all the fast road driving you have done, you will be used to the car and how it moves around as it is, now it is stripped it will behave differently - a mate found this out when he stripped his bare and smashed his mint Saxo VTS on his first lap at Castle Combe :(

^^ everyone forgets that

Sorry, miss typed there, I meant the rear is very high, so a big rake. Im lucky in that i have played around with suspension before, so manily measure from rear axle point to floor, and front subframe to floor - NEVER arch gaps :)

Yeah dude, 85 degrees iirc, and also you need to have the revs up a few times to stablise the temperature, so say you drive normal for 15 mins, floor it, it revs out, then take it easy for a few secs, then floor it again, the water pump spinning up with the revs cause the coolant/water to shoot...

Go carefull dude, not the best idea to strip it out before your first track day - the weight distribution will have changed greatly, and it may handle different - go carefull :)

New lump?!

Bear in mind the rev limit is controlled by water temperature, so even if you have been driving a while, if the water temps isn't up then the limiter will still be low - even if the guage says its warm.

Isnt it about time you updated the miles on your thread title ;)

Just to confirm, the operator told me the rollers have been re-calibrated and are reading around 5% lower than before, so i hope the results are not too far off this time lol.

Going to have a play around with my KW's this weekend/next week, but the rear is set high at the moment - very high, due to the larger wheels that were previously on it. Now im on 15's, can I get peoples suggestions on what ride height would be good? Combined road and track use. I know there...

I meant in a 5 lolId much prefere Dannys approach with a mk1

I wouldn't say aweful, but definately IMO a step back - that engine dates back to the 70's, and the only advantage is it is turbocharged, but it's only a baby T2 from memory anyway, and you could do so much more with a modern fuel injected engine rather than a very old small capacity carb engine.

Too light im afraid, I think you would be able to get under 900kg's comfortably, but not under 800kg'sMore power to offset the weight would be the option

Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118 Cheers mate! Something else added to 'The List' lol

Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118 Loving your rocker cover, what did you use again dude?

Thanks again for kindly letting me drive it Andy - it is a great little car :)The oil was a bit of a funny one, the engine shouldn't breath too much oil out, but everything that could leak was dry, so Im guessing that is what has seeped out over the course of time.Il have a look round R.E. the...

Recommended they are apparently....
