I was going to run a thermostatic plate mate, but on the recommendation of think automotive I'm not going to now. The laminova cooler is in the coolant flow anyway, so there's no worry of over cooling the oil either. Minimum temp will always be almost identical to the coolant temp when fully warmed.

I love these. My mate had a white 5dr DSG E30 and it was a brilliant car. We went airborne in it on the entry into Meir tunnel in Stoke. Lol!

Mines dyslexic bank robber spec. Air in the hands mother stickers, this is a f**k up.

Does the boot light add 10hp? Lol

It's a megane reservoir that you use to relocate it. @Tony Hunter will tell you the model if he can remember. I've never had an issue with regards heat and the fluid reservoir on mine and I kick the s**t out of it tbh. For the new engine though I'll have no choice but to have a heat shield.

Yes mate just let me know when. You still got my mobile number?

I use the motul RBF600 in mine without issue on track.

I'm possibly biased, but I prefer mine a bright colour. I think the roof vent being bright green stands out more than the cage. I get no reflections off the green cage either tbh. Helps that the dash is flocked I suppose.

I'd order bc's over gaz any day of the week. Far far superior. A lot of bc's have that collar to adjust ride height without altering the damper travel. Good idea tbf.

The machining involved in fitting the Quaife diff in a jc5 is only done on the oe crownwheel mate. They machine pockets into it for ball bearings as these retain the crownwheel. It's pressed on and glued on the original. To fit it in the box, I'll condense the process! Remove box, split box...

I use the same grade/spec in my track car and will be running it in the new engine as well when it's built. I'll also be running a laminova oil cooler to warm the oil up quicker.

Everytime I wash and polish my cup I polish the windows at the same time with the same car body polish (usually meguiars) and I've never had a problem.

I always say, you can buy the car but you can't buy the driver.

Any chance you could weigh one of the wheels? Assuming they have no tyres on of course.

You'll be a slave to the OT now mate!

When you back?

Here's my efforts from the afternoon at the Rs day. These are 2:06-2:08's as there weren't any megs on slicks to chase! The rear wheel bearings are fucked in this video as well, so it made it a bit more lively on the rear end. Them curb stones at Brittens didn't like me straightlining them. Lol!

^^^ that looks really good actually! Not a fan of how far they stick out, but they do look the part. Any ideas how much they weigh?

Tracking done?

It's because of the original design and size mate. They have to use such a large piece of the correct grade steel (not cheap) then machine a lot of it away to manufacture a lsd for a Clio. The originals are just cast and machined up so they're obviously cheaper in comparison, but they wouldn't...

£650 delivered mate. @ilovewilly

What's the gearbox code mate? I may be able to help.

Lol I've seen your tag!!!

When I paired my original loom back it was done with no diagrams whatsoever mate, so I feel your pain. You'll appreciate all the effort you've put in to do it though when you weigh what you've removed! All sub 1kg's worth of it. I s**t you not! Lol

Don't rule out the gen90 ecu from Ktec. Utilises the original wiring loom with no cutting required, and just as good as the other ecu's out there. They come up on here for sale from time to time and more than capable of running a s/c engine.

Yes mate the key is in most of the cranks. Some of them don't have the key though, but they're a bit of a rarity.

Megane pulley has a key on it to locate on the stock cranks key way. Standard f4r's don't have a keywayed bottom belt pulley, but with the additional forces from the supercharger you need the megane pulley to stop them slipping.

I'd imagine your laptimes will be near to mine, if not faster tbh tom. You've got a diff and extra hp as well compared to mine currently.

Flol! I read that completely wrong then!

I bore witness to him trying to diagnose a car with a cambelt that had jumped a tooth or 2, and it would appear that he couldn't even tell that it was turning over faster than normal because it had bent valves and f**k all compression!! That was an instant way for me to lose any respect that I...
