If anyone's still looking, I drove Rentech Mike's 172 with no power steering and a standard steering wheel this afternoon. F*** me, it felt like it still had power steering fitted - but then I'm used to a 350mm wheel and the standard one is quite a bit bigger. In other words, if you're...

Mine just gets a light blow with an air hose every 6k. Ran my ITG panel filter like that for the best part of 100k miles with no noticeable build up of crap or decrease in preformance.

Impressive stuff dave...I had no idea you'd lost that much but now your flying lap around Combe is starting to make sense...221 per ton FFS ;) What mods gave you the 215 bhp?

I'm out of breath looking at that...lots of effort! Nice.

LOL, you know I'd get 100% humped over a mile. I'm at 80-90 mph in less than a 1/4 mile, so after that I'm struggling against the wind, and all the others can just power on through. I might stand a chance over a 1/4 mile against some of them. I have a reasonable chance against most on the...

No one said it was 100% accurate. Over two years, and spannning 30,000 miles it has given consistent readings on my Cup (graphs from seperate runs overlaid match excatly...look at the start and end of the rev range for both lines on my graph). Also, standard cars tend to run as expected on...

Lose 7 kgs, gain 7 bhp = +10 bhp per ton. Starting at Renault's quoted 1,021 kg kerb weight, everything I've removed or swapped has saved 117 leaving me at 904.

A conservative estimate is 7kg saving from binning the pump, pipework, resevoir, and swapping the powered rack for a manual one. Lose 7kgs, gain 7 bhp...winner all round.

f**king hell.

I'd have that.

Risky not to. I told mine, no extra charge, just a note made.

I've aboslutely no idea at all I'm afraid, Rentech Mike did it all for me.

LOL, that's exactly what I'm talking about.

Quality thread. Should be renamed "Darwin Candidates" tbqh.

If there wasn't a slight possibility that that could actually happen it would be funny ;)

Oof, that pic of the gravel trap afterwards, no debris anywhere, just marks in the gravel every 10m or so where he cart-wheeled through...f***ing hell.

Every single little bit helps so rip out whatever you can before a trackday. It will use less fuel and be kinder/easier on your brakes and tyres.

Nice one, thanks. I'm having one of them.

LOL, I miss them, Carbon Lorraines just don't have that same mischievous fun factor... Better at night though...

Other mods were all on for the previous run... R-Sport ECU ITG panel filter in standard airbox Yozzasport decat K-tec stealth exhaust That lot got me to 176bhp which was the last figure (blue line) then off came the steering pump/rack and on went the 'Maxogen' to give the latest figure...

I said that. "I'm err shifting my Mum's washing machine...errr...every weekend for the next year".

Had them sparking yet?

Part of mine's outside waiting to be taken to the dump, the other part is in a wheatfield in deepest Devon! Does look odd without one...no way I'm getting ass-f***ed by Renault, but for £18...I might have a go.

Nice one. Keep going there, loads more to be had if you can live with it. I'm up to 24 free bhp just from weight loss.

Ooh...this would fit my Cup without too much butchering?

I really f***in' love you.

Yup. That's a safe balanced setup. Try swapping front with back and you'll be sideways in the wet everywhere.

HIC are the same with me... "Did I tell you I've now got 4 different sets of wheels, can't say which one's I run though as I chop and change depending on the weather?" "No problem - I've just added aftermarket wheels as a note...no extya charge".
