Do you have any play in the dephaser? I seem to recall Fred saying he rotates the pulleys backwards and allows 3 fingers worth of force to get the horse shoe back in...

Just seen an update on this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJzizYUEF9c&index=12&list=WL. Looks really exciting. Hope it is as good as it looks. I must make sure I finish my race car before I buy into it! @Darren S I was dangerous on the acorn electron and deadly on spectrum+ lol ;) If you...

My 2002 clio has it stamped on the chassis under the drivers seat on the seat rail.

Another eventful weekend hope it hangs together for the race.

Several people have had the pads come out on track and got a shock at the next corner... Car is looking good James, good luck for the weekend.

He means lambda sensor/O2 - 2 of them in the exhaust.

They're currently either have original paint, rattle can or plastidip. Thanks for the info guys.

I'd consider paying 20 quid a wheel for a refurb but that's cheaper than anywhere I know. I have a load of wheels to do, probably 6-12 I haven't actually looked at how many need doing.

I've got some wheels that have years worth of track pad dust baked on. I want to get them clean/preped so I can paint them. The only way I can get it off is by scraping with a screwdriver, but I really can't be arsed. So I was thinking of buying a cheap sand blaster e.g...

There is a gearbox manual about. Drop me your e-mail if you want a copy. I think it has that sort of info in.

I'd try some googling/tweeks/mrtyre (dunlop). 16" you don't get so much choice in general I find. Slicks seem to be thought of as expensive on here. I don't know if that's true or not.

I've got a genuine gopro mount, it works well.

I can't make the 25th but will come along to the next one hopefully.

Another vote for PS3s great tyre for road wet or dry.

Matt/TDF's 172 cup had 428s in. There is a thread on it somewhere, made mid 180s IIRC.

My 172 cup has slightly longer pedal travel than my 182.

Std shocks I'd say yes. You have ASTs with adjustable camber things don't you? In which case purists would probably say no, but personally if you only undid one at a time I'd say you'd be fine...

Always calculating how much time off is costing you is so true lol. One of the reasons I did it was being sick of corporate BS. Now I get to carry on working while the permies go to the corporate pep talks. WRT job security, my current place have made 2 members of the team redundant while I've...

It was a good drive, sorry I had to shoot off before we finished. I hope we can do it again sometime. Pool too! Glad you got home ok Chris, hope the damage is minimal. A quick clip from what I went off too. I did ok, but got beaten in class by a 1M :( <a...

Looks like a typo when they converted between the two.

It is 9 daNm which is 90 Nm - most of the Renault pdfs have torques in daNm. 1 daNm = 10Nm. Edit: I have that same pic above from a different manual and all the torques are in daNm and the wishbone bolt is 9.

I'm planning on doing both. I asked the solo organiser what time I needed to be there he said by 9, first test start 9:45 ish. It is not at Barton Stacey BTW, it is Montgomery Lines down Farnborough way. Still only an hour from Newbury though.

Sounds like you had some fun, glad you managed to salvage the day after all the issues. Hope the clio gets sorted without too much trouble.

That manifold seems to come up on ebay every couple of months at the moment. There have been threads about this before and the consensus was that there isn't much money to be made. Narrow margin/low volume.

I had to use a grinder on both of mine, good luck. That is on the rear though. Never had any trouble with the fronts.

I'm aware of the piston speed issues it was the other things you were alluding to that I'm interested in. So what are the issues with oil supply and distribution?

Sorry to hear about this Tony, hope you get it sorted without too much trouble. Chip-mk1 what's so awkward about the FAR then? I'll probably have a go a building a 220+ engine at some point myself and would like to avoid any expensive mistakes :)

Search for a link to the manuals on here. All the values are in there and they're largely different to those quoted above...

If you have some tools that can lock the cams and pulleys in place while you remove the pulleys and the same for putting it all back together then that should be fine. If you read the guide or renault pdf you'll see what you need to achieve. The pulleys are not locked to the cams with woodruff...

There is a guide in the guides section for doing the cambelt so you can see what is involved. You'll need the tools to do it properly.
