Unfortunately mate, there sometimes comes a point in time when it becomes time to move on.

Lol! I take it you'll not be using this one for school run then????

So you've got another forged engine then? Or are you running oem pistons? I know of Ray West. Met him at the Nurburgring one year when I was there as he was staying in the same hotel as me! Lol you'll need over 230hp to get the heavy 200 moving! Wasn't an issue in my lightweight cup.

Spun centre main then mate I'd say. F'kin Renaults!

Is it a bottom end or top end knock? If it's a bottom end knock I'd say it's spun the centre main bearing. Just like they all seem to do! If it is, it'll be terminal I'm afraid mate.

Well seeing as the maxi evo clios couldn't do better than 180lbft I'd definitely call your 195lbft into question. I wouldn't be surprised if the catcams aren't the cause of your problems tbh mate, as it wouldn't be the first time I've heard of them having incorrect timing marks and causing...

Looks to me that you're running Megane 250 calipers. They're most definitely bigger than 225 items.

What cams are you running then now mate?

Hello mate. It's running a standard throttle body. It wasn't found to be a restriction, so there was no need for the ported item.

No worries mate. :up:

Washers go under the bolt heads mate.

I'll pm you mate.

@Drew57 I'm in Lichfield and I've had a lot of experience with the jc5's. It'll be the synchro ring and selector hub that's worn, and possibly the dog teeth on the gear. Let me know if you want it looking at as I've got all the parts available, and by all means, do your research on me first. :up:

You should be able to yes, but on a cup you don't have abs, so I didn't have any dramas. If the pedal feels spongy after you've done the bleeding, you'll probably need a pressure bleeder, or clip to do it.

Bit of machining as well mate.

Ah right ok. Well you can modify the circlip diff to be a bolt in diff as well. Piece of piss

You've got to open the box up mate and do a bit of internal magic basically. There's no need to replace the diff either buddy. :wink:

Yep certainly did. Not for use with abs equipped cars though.

You can open the 130's up and convert them to speedo drive if you know what you're doing.

Only person I can think of is @bloke tbh mate. He may even have a replacement gearbox that's been fully rebuilt he can do an exchange on

Yeah I'm afraid so mate. The brexit vote has had some effect on the price of parts as well due to the awesome £ to € rate we now get. My f**king arse.

It's a £380 parts bill alone just to cure the 3rd and 4th gear crunch along with a few seals etc, and that's before it's been opened up to look inside and see what else is worn.

I'm taking a well earned rest from doing them mate atm. All I'm doing currently is getting rid of the boxes I've got, but I don't have a 130 unfortunately.

None available as there wasn't enough interest in them, so too much to invest.

I will have a jc5 130 that's been rebuilt available in the next week or so if you're interested? Pm me if you are.

Trackdays can be as bad mate with the bully boys in their bigger hp cars. Seen it.

It doesn't show just how many yellow flag zones there are now, how so many arseholes ignore them, how many inexperienced 'legends' there are out there doing laps........ Honestly mate the list is endless. I love the place, but after this year I won't be going back.

I'm afraid not. Every engine I've had has been collected by me in person. As long as it's on a pallet though you should be fine with any company tbh. Not got a boyfriend or dad that could come with you to collect it?

@StrongboW has a low mileage engine available. Drop him a pm. 41k seems to spring to mind.

Sounds like mainshaft or diff bearings are fucked.
