f**k all other than the cup had an aluminium pulley...

Yeah I'm afraid that the box does indeed need to come apart to fix properly. If you want it doing, I can sort it while you wait buddy. Drop me a pm if you like. :up:

I'll get my coat. Lol! Sorry mate didn't read that bit!

Most trackday organisers won't let you on track with slicks unless you have a cage.

The gearboxes on the 197's and 200's suffer with synchro ring issues as said above, but renault have now changed the design of them. I've rebuilt a few TL4 boxes now, and tbh, other than the synchro issue they ain't that bad a box. To put it into perspective, a typical parts cost for the jc5 is...

Yeah I'll drop you a pm mate. :up:

Only for picernic baskets iirc. 😂

Well I can do the TL4 boxes mate, and also supply a quaife. Yeah the selector hub is the expensive item Keith @£120 ish on its own. It's because it's combined with also being used as a reverse gear. Well you know where I am mate if you want it opening up!

Yes no problem mate.

Yeah no worries mate. I'll just keep a couple aside for you. :up:

Diff service at the same time?

Standard elf oil from renault will be fine if you aren't tracking the car mate

No mate they're an almost identical synchro ring to the oe item. These have just had the tolerances closed up to improve efficiency.

Morning all, Just a heads up to say that after much aggro, I've managed to get some improved synchro rings sorted out for the jc5's. These aren't designed for fast gearchanges - that's just how the box is designed. What these synchro rings are aimed at is giving a significant improvement in...

Cheers mate. Very much appreciated.

I ran the 197 head on mine and ran the fully variable vvt on the gen90. No oilways redrilled at all. I've looked at all the oilways on the 1*2 and the 197 head, and there's no requirement to drill oilways. You just need to sort the dephaser solenoid.

Cheers mate. I'm quite surprised by the amount of offers I've had for a chin wag tbh. Just goes to show how good cs is!

The early ph1 cranks are what you need as they're the heaviest and according to form the strongest. 197/200 is the next one down in terms of weight, but it's been balanced from the factory to withstand 7800rpm. 172 ph2 crank is the lightest and wankest one. You only have to compare the design...

I'll drop you a pm mate. I can supply a quaife for you as well though.

Cheers gents. Not been on in a few days, so only just got round to replying. Unsure if the car is staying or going currently, but the akrapovic will most likely be sold regardless now.

@mw897 i can supply and fit Quaife's and grippers. I can also do a full rebuild on your box. Drop me a pm if you're interested.

@Markmec the parts to fix it are about £70-£80. I can strip and rebuild the box for you as well if you're interested? Drop me a pm and we can discuss further if you like.

With the car? Yes mate it's spot on tbh. Me not so much.

Not driven it since it was mot'd in March mate.

Long story mate. I'll text you.

If anyone's interested in buying the 200, drop me a pm. Thanks

Did you have the bore measured? New rings fitted?

Valve guides replaced when rebuilt? If not, that'll be the cause of the oil loss.

In that case, full stiff rear, half way on the fronts and then dial both ends in to suit. If it's too stiff at the rear and a bit flighty, turn the damper down one click.

For track, go full stiff on the rear dampers and go half way on the fronts. Then dial the fronts in to suit.
