I only supplied the tool mate. That 182 was running a 172 big exhaust port head as well, so may have had some influence on figures. I didn’t even know what to expect from Grp with itbs, but it didn’t do to bad for itself tbf.

Nah mate. The Grp n stuff is tried and tested too buddy. The mk3 motors ran a similar cam timing trick to the mk2 Grp n, but you had to change one of the cams in the mk3 to get the results. They also didn’t alter the inlet cam position. It was all about the exhaust cam on that.

Indeed you do 🤣 hope you’re keeping well mate! You’ll have to come down with Danny when his is ready to collect 👍🏻

He is, without doubt the most brutal man to use a JC5. 🤣

It’s a long shot, but check the plunger for reverse gear. It’s the 16mm socket sized but that the return to centre spring sits on. I’ve seen them leak around the base, and because of where they are, you’d swear it’s the selector seal. Like I say, long shot, but you don’t have to pull the box...

2015…………..just looked back lol

5+ years easily. When it’s out, bring it to me and i will replace it while you wait mate.

That’s very annoying considering the seal and bushes were replaced! That’s the joys of leaving something sat around for years. I bet the seals gone hard.

@Daniel move the engine and box over to the drivers side as far as you can. That may rectify the issue. If not, it’s the shaft bottoming out in the driveshaft cup.

No problem. If you’re running a 197 head, you won’t need a restrictor as the vvt oil feeds are different to the 1*2 head.

My personal preference is to run with a good quality standard bearing, such as Mahle. Reason being that they’re a bit more forgiving than a full on race bearing. Also, clios suffer with piss poor oil pressure, so here’s a few things that in my opinion, are a must have/do: Oil pump tolerances...

You’re very welcome mate. Glad you’re happy 👍🏻

I am also a big fan of these! However, mineral grey and gloss black is THE best colour for these.

Well you definitely need to map it on those settings as they run very lean. If you time 197 cams to Grp n you will lose hp.

Well that sounds more like you’ve got the standard cams mate. You’d be better off going full Grp n timing as you’ll get better midrange and a little top end.

Kevin Cleasby is the lad on Facebook that can make you the tool mate.

8 degrees on the inlet and standard on the exhaust. But shhhhhhh it’s a secret. 👍🏻

On a bottom end that’s already seeing low oil pressure will, undoubtedly be put under greater strain and have the potential to suffer from premature failure. Lol! Even at hot oil temps I was seeing north of 100psi under load until I dropped all the shims out the oprv. Managed to get it to...

Well if anything, the 90deg fittings would create a restriction and increase pressure, so I wouldn’t worry about the fittings mate. Hoses should be -10. They will contribute to a lower pressure, but they will also increase the flow, so as with everything, always a trade off. The one thing that...

The straps break and just machine their way through the casing.

I’m the one who told him to run the Sachs clutch because I’ve seen more valeo failures than I care to remember. This is the ‘oem’ valeo unit. Strangely the genuine Renault valeo doesn’t have the same failure rate.

Unfortunately I’m flat out atm

Not guilty on that one as it was never due the belt change in my ownership! There was definitely a receipt in the history file for a belt change though. Any recent pics of FKU?

The part number for the synchros you need is 326041339 R

I can answer this. Do you like cars? YES Do you like Clios? YES Do you enjoy track driving? YES Are you a raging homosexual? YES Then CSF is where you need to be. 👍🏻

That small a difference won’t make any noticeable improvements. You may get a very slight increase in midrange performance, but I really don’t think you’ll feel it.

Absolutely deserved after some of the games we had earlier in the evening! Lol

No worries mate. Unfortunately you need to give these gearboxes a bit of respect as they don’t like to be rushed. Why thank you. I’ve also got a c**k like a lion bar. No I shamelessly robbed the image off here as I forgot to take a pic of the one I’ve got in the garage lol

Right so you see the fork/hub assembly circled red? On yours it’s sitting proud and it needs to be flush - as in the image. There’s a spring clip you access via the 3 slots in the hub - if the hub won’t slide down and sit flush, stick a small screwdriver in the slots and manually manipulate the...

Right, so straight away I can see that the selector for 5th gear isn’t in the correct position. I will post a pic in here of what it should look like this evening and tag you in it mate. 👍🏻 The good news is that it hasn’t stuck in any gear, so hopefully with 5th gear back in the correct place...
