Excellent mate. Nice and compliant on the road. Was a bit soft on the track, but it was a very good compromise.

That's a similar setup to what I had on my cup originally when I was running kw v2's. Worked well tbf.

The anti roll bar is welded into the rear axle mate at each end. You could try grinding the weld back and smacking f**k out of it, but how successful you'd be, I couldn't say. You'd also need it in a jig so you don't distort the axle mate.

What's those kg rates in lbs?

I have the pics of the wiring alterations required for the swap mate funnily enough. Lol

3 times to stretch them. :wink:

That looks great mate!

😂

Nice car that Fletcher! So does this spell an end to the 172 then?

Some of the 130's had that extra brace piece where the crank sensor mounts mate tbh. I think the clutch cable looks different because the bracket for the cable isn't fitted.

Well it would only be worth filling with redline if the box has had a refresh tbh mate. It'll protect the box a lot better than the elf stuff.

Yeah it would be, but I'd drop it out and refill with fresh afterwards personally.

It's about £18 and you need 3 bottles. It comes as a us quart, which is just under 1ltr. 3 bottles is sufficient though. The Fuchs stuff is around £14 for syn 5, which is a 75/90. Only other option would be the Fuchs sintofluid as it's a 75/80, but that's more roadcar biased.

Twice Tony. Twice!! What's 3rd gear done to you?! Lol

It'll protect the jc5 better than any other oil, but yes potentially overkill for raps use. I'd fill with Fuchs syntrans over the elf stuff as well.

It all comes from personal experience tbh mate. I've run it in a few highly stressed gearboxes, and they've all looked untouched when they'd been opened up for routine maintenance. I also look at the spec sheets for the oils and look at viscosities, temperature ranges etc. If the car is to be...

My bonnet flapped around a bit, but it never bent out of shape. It was fully deskinned as well. It was tested up to 150mph without issue.

That's your clutch mate making the noise imo. Helix clutches have been known to make a similar noise as well! It's the splined centre of the clutch that has a small amount of play and that's the resulting rattle.

Just get genuine renault parts. They ain't even that expensive mate. Don't buy cheap rings, because I guarantee you, you will be disappointed.

Can you hear the whine with the windows up?

Scoff is quite simply, f**king awesome. He's a nice bloke as well!

Senders fucked then by the sounds of that. Blast it with brake cleaner and an airline blower mate. It may have some s**t in there - ya never know. We have this happen from time to time.

Well either go to a local garage and ask if they'll lend you one mate, or try machine mart. Maybe Halfords may have them in stock as well.

You need a mechanical oil pressure gauge then mate. That's the only way you'll know that you're getting oil pressure or not. Start simple before moving on to bigger issues.

If the system is/was bone dry, you'll need to prime the oil pump for definite mate. It sounds like the op relief valve could be stuck open, or its air locked and the pump isn't pumping. Need to know if the pump is working first though. Once that has been ascertained, you can rule out if the...

Is the pump putting any oil out at all?

I'm trying to rearrange a few things so I can head over @Christopher I'd meet you guys there though at the triangle as I'm a fair few miles away from Trafford Park!

@Scattle ooh ya fucker! That just went didn't it! Glad you're all ok, and remember, it's only a piece of metal at the end of the day - it can be replaced. Devastating none the less.

Finding wheels to suit the car is quite difficult I think personally. I'm still a speedline fanboy though, so what do I know! Lol! Where did you get them from out of interest? Was it from that guy in the Chech Republic? Or where ever he's from! Lol

Ultras suit the 200 shape so so well!
