cheers shiftspark, i will read the whole thing tonight! ill get some proper pics of the meg up later, its a decent looking one at least :) Ade, it just makes so much more sense. weve got Coombe, Prescott, Shelsey walsh etc all within an hour of us. if i lose my car licence i lose my job then...

all changed a bit since i last saw it mate! AST top mounts FTW, mine need setting back up again, got the caster in two different positions currently

I understood that bit, this is why i love Lord Faulks

spent the morning at the MOT place i usually frequent, the emissions passed pretty easily but the lambda reading (funny enough) was a struggle. wet rags stuffed up the exhaust and we finally got it close enough to pass. actual MOT is next Saturday, handbrake cable, new plates, possibly 2 tyres...

Rs tuning or Ktec to build it, if you build it yourself you'll still need Rs tuning, Ktec or TDF to map it. They can drive as standard, can be reliable and great fun. On the other hand, they can drive like ass, Could be unreliable and you'll get pissed off and try selling it 6 months later...

Good question and I can't answer sorry. My work collegue used to be a windscreen fitter so that's how I knew about it. Not actually done it on the car yet

hammer? cheese wire type of cutting wire normally used

Lol, painting small parts is my forte, couldn't do what you did Tony! Dan, if your reading this, we need another photoshoot... There is 680bhp and 835lb/ft torques sitting on our drive way as of tonight. Emma "there's a blue shiney car sat on our drive that I'm scared of" And Me "do you...

Good luck, we believe in you

Jonny, I've been lucky enough to know a few people on here locally who are very helpful and know a hell of a lot. Burpspeed/Jay Payne and Adeyspec with everything mechanical and Matt@TDF for the electrical. All I'll say is don't be afraid to have a go yourself, anything is possible so long as...

Thanks very much Kevin, I'm sure you know the heartache when it goes wrong but when it's all working great, OMFG lol. And no, you cannot have it hah ;) 9am through town and 15 mile journey to get there, will add on some extra dual carriage way just to get try hotter. Fingers crossed

We drove nights and all sorts in Europe, don't think any of us fitted those headlight stickers in the end. Had them in the car though

Nope he wouldn't be able to race in many/any series. That's sounds like an epic failure, not in a good way epic though. What clutch/fly was he using, was it a similar fault with the previous engine?

Wouldn't have thought it makes enough difference to actually notice the stalling. I had it done on my saxo and didn't really notice the downside

Correct. The down side is that if it's too light it increases the risk/ease of stalling etc, not so much an issue in a race car though

yep, its on sat and sun. i was going to prob go on sunday as got a few things to do on saturday, like see how far out the emissions are on the MOT with no lambda lol

ive always loved this bit, the putting it back together part. its like big lego

no videos im afraid, i took the camera to Bedford but forgot the battery! doh!! sideways danny did ask ages ago whether it had been sealed, and he's been playing with SC clio's longer than most on here. are you sure Gray? if you hadnt done that silly thing of selling it we could have looked...

Easiest is to get the key programmed by Renault and have it cut at a locksmith shop. Some dealers charge circa £40 to cut a key after they have charged you for programming it, cost upwards of £100 easily. Proper locksmith shop will charge you no more than a fiver for cutting a supplied blank...

They all have them, all I know is I don't need it. Ive put it all back together tonight, no binding from the bolt on the rubber seal, must be close though! Can't wait for weds, 2 hour drive home in it :-D pure comfort at last

It's never broken, just not always working. You saw how fun it is, I love it even when it's not perfect

Van is one of them ;)

Lol, that thankfully isn't me This is the little hole causing all the problems, hopefully. New fixing bolted through And a quick lick of paint later, back on it goes. And fingers crossed, as of Wednesday evening there should be three boosted renaults living on the drive way...

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner Ah reet, didn't even think about the lack of a labour charge lol. Not cheap business is it, I must of spent over £100 just on paint for the cage in total

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner is that mates rates?

Dan freeman has the same rear bits Neil, sideways danny fitted it so might be worth an ask

Yep i learnt that on my previous car, Matt has been doing mine too now, will be forging it when the finances allow, I just have to live with epic power and the inevitability that it will soon die lol. No ring trips for me as it just won't get back. Cars eh, love/hate!!

Bang tidy, will be a horrible feeling when you put the first scratch into the new paint though

Ah!! The ring. The last track my car managed to get home from under it's own steam lol. Albeit at 50mph with 1.5 driveshafts pmsl. Good luck over there mate, epic place isn't it

Ohhhhhhh myyyyyy goooooosssshhhh, we must stick a flat6 in the boot, with the turbo hanging out the rear bumper!!!
