Im pretty sure the inlet cam needs to be advanced 16 degrees if the VVT has been removed unless it was specifically purchased from Cat as a Non-VVT cam, that could explain the lack of power... Im sure someone will confirm that...

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] Well there are 3 earths coming from the ECU to that one, all go into one crimp then usually onto the back of the gearbox. Im guessing it could have some effect, as its used as the sensor earths for the ECU itself... Speaking of coilpack...

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] Cheers for the suggestion - I changed it the other day as my temp gauge on the dash was not reading anything. Reads fine now so I guess it must be working lol

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] It did smell fuelly, BUT thats probably because I had the fuel lines off to check for fuel lol. Loom wise, how ive done it is....cut all the sensors off - then mounted the ECU inside along with the original engine bay fuses/relays, then...

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] Il give it a try shortly - What I dont understand is though, its been started about 10 times since that night when it wouldnt start... It fires up on the second rotation of the engine every time now, and hasnt played up since... Its kinda...

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] Side of the cylinder head on a bracket made from 3mm plate...why do you ask? Im guessing the video is saying that problem is caused by bad spark or bad leads?

Not at the moment, for some of last year it was though. Not enough space to fit it all in to the length of the track ;) Best one of the year, lol. Seba - Painted Sky

You'd be able to tell if they were very low milage new (assuming they are) cams anyway compared to a set of high milage standard/OE cams

Alternator should be fine if its running OK when youve bumped it...check it with a multi-meter at the battery though, ~14 Volts is a good working alternator. If it starts fine with leads then yeh most probably battery

Does it jump start if you hook it upto another car with leads?

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] Cheers for the PM mate, although Im not really in the market to buy one as I have no need for it apart from just plugging it in to get the diag/codes up. Ive had one in the past and already flashed my ECU with a different setup... I used it...

Would probably make it worse, 205 at a push but then thats a bit wide for a 15in wheel thats 7in wide. Just needs the pressures upping slightly.

VERY good pics Ian, what body you using now?

Sorted, Il PM you later when im back home and sort it out!

Cool - look anything like...

Can you remember the dimensions or anything Gray? All the factors round here seem to have no idea at all.

Ahhhhh sigh. I can probably get hold of a replacement shaft for that sort of money lol, paid £40 for my last one - joke!

172 Ph1 Driveshaft, single piece (i.e. no support bearing on the back of the engine block). The gaiter closest to the gearbox is split, and im trying to get hold of a replacement from somewhere other than Renault. Ive replaced other outer gaiters in the past and they are a couple of quid...

Just lent Whiteleys lens on my 40D body - Manual mode around 160-250/sec shutter and varying apertures

Yeah, he got it late last summer and has just kept it pretty much how it was - purchased to drive and have fun!

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] Yeah, ive still got the obd wired up, but no longer have my RSTuner :( Il have to see if I can find someone local with one!

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] Could be the interior loom also yep, mine is a one off loom now (wont match up with yours or Adams loom, was going to try his last night)...ive no idea at all where to start with it though lol!
