Well mine will rev to around 7800, but I never look at my speedo, only the revs! I might be wrong but it just feels closer. Maybe its just my imagination.

Well apparently not...I only found out the other day though when Chris told me hed already booked me in for the stand!

Thats very odd, I would normally say its your bulb thats gone at the back of the dials. If it seems like theres not any place for a bulb to go then get a heater panel from another Clio. In fact strangely enough, I have an illuminated phase 1 panel for sale, its all there, the dials, back bit...

I cant calm down now Paul - Im fed up of Captain Slarty having to sl*g off everyones knowledge and experience that doesnt agree with his own subjective opions - that he proclaims as fact and tries to bully people into accepting, implying they must be stupid otherwise. If you believed the stuff...

Joe just shut up - youve always got a smart nonsense answer for everything and youd say black was white just to argue with someone and try to force your ideas on people. Ive had enough of it.

I am running a 100 hp jetting. There is no trouble with fuel supply, just be gentle on the clutch. I do run a progressive controller, air/fuel ratio meter, and adjustable fuel pressure with that though and I wouldnt advise 100 hp jets unless you have these mods in place first. My first setup was...

Jon - if your car is standard mate then its about as standard as Craggys is! I still reckon its got secret head and cam work! Anyway, I think everyone will be aiming for quicker times next year and working hard on the mods to achieve that over the winter... A summer York meet sounds like a...

No,I dont read it at all! Sorry...

Yeah I forgot that Mat, it would be interesting to see how you get on with th Willy box as well. Its definitely a longer final drive but the ratios seem closer, easier to keep it on the boil. I tell you what Ill do you a swap. I take your 2.0 bottom end and valver box, and you have my 1.8 bottom...

good call Mike - I think youve hit the nail on the head!

yeah youre not wrong mate. Im on the Carnoisseur stand at some other show going on in a couple of weeks on a Saturday night at Essex arena...dont know what it is til I get there but it should be a good night out.

BTW Joe - I am so certain of the ram-effect that Ill call you out on this one - I dont know how you hook up a pressure gauge but if I understand correctly what youre saying, you want to test pressure at the throttle body or inlet manifold? I dont know what a pressure tester looks like or how Id...

Youre going against the facts again Joe. Im sorry but you cant tell me that ram effect doesnt exist when I proved it pretty convincingly to myself the other day. Ill run you through it and see what hugely complicated explanation you can come up with to argue against an obvious physical effect...

Mat - if it works for you then fair enough. Would be a good idea to try different things on the dragstrip and see what comes up best. I know you always carry your full tool set in a trailer behind you, so swapping them over is no problem! Maciek - I already force the Renault airbox anyway -a...

A bit retro cos of the sculpting of the spokes. A flatter design would be more up to date, but that doesnt always suit a car. Have you tried them on?

Lofty - Ive been thinking more seriously about TBs as a project this winter. Only thing is I wanna spend a grand or less, sounds like the same kind of thing youre after! I know you can get a Weber Alpha kit to do the job, but Ive never really learnt a lot about carbs or TBs cos Ive never used...

I know some of it...traction control, rammed Pipercross Viper (oooops sorry in advance to Capt Slarty, that must be just a total coincidence that the fastest 172 is running ram-air ;)), rear stripped out, chipped (I think?) - nice solid mods. But anyway Tim, look on it as an opportunity to...

Yeah in proper drag classes reaction is important. In normal RWYB where youre just after the time and speed, Ive found that the most crucial benchmark is the 60ft time. When I first started I used to ignore the other data and just look at the ET. But this year Ive paid very close attention to...

Mate you can do it without taking the battery off. As long as you dont mind skinning your knuckles! It is a hassle but it can be done, Ive got it down to a 5 minute job.

Cliosport LED tailpipe trims are on the cards

OK some interesting points Joe, but I still dont agree with you that the chart applies to the whole range. It says it applies to the majority of the range, and thats not good enough for me. If Renault send me out a booklet which says forget what your original manufacturers handbook says and...

Sylvia - no need to explain mate, I knew exactly what you meant, just others on the thread seemed to be picking up that comment of yours and taking it to mean something else. Just my impression anyway. And BTW I dont know who called yours a shopping car cos it werent me. IMHO people can buy...

hehe talking of Porsches I was doing the shopping last night and a 911 was behind me going into the car park. I parked up and clocked it as it went into the opposite space and it was mental - a GT3 or GT2, I cant remember what all the different models are - it was like a normal new 911 but just...

Wicked mate, I still chuckle to myself thinking of your devious ways of getting those photos at Donny South! The Southend pics are the nuts mate. I love that one with us all parked at the side of the road trying to make sure everyones there...for those of you who couldnt make that particular...

OIC!
