Which V1s did you have as there is not only on type afaik.

Yup, chop it off and mount the coilpack on top (should be enough clearance then).

Nah, they aren't crashy. They are rebranded KW V1s. German quality ;)

The APs are quite comfy for a coilover setup. Really liked them for road use but on track i'd say they are a bit to soft. Quality coilovers for the money. And they would rip "facepalmland'd" 1*2s a new asshole in teh twisteez...

Anyone banned yet? BTW: Welcome to rape.net!

You can't just swap the cam covers, they need to be matched to the cylinder head as the upper cam bearings are integrated into the cover. I'd just keep the vent open/place the coilpack on it.

Nope.

Oil is coming from the crankcase breather that recirculates into the plenum. If you go ITB/RS2, you normally vent it (via a catch tank) to atmosphere.

Same adjusters, on xenon cars they are driven by the sensor on the rear axle. On "standard" cars by the levelling switch.

Oval breather doesn't need to be sealed as it's the inlet for the carbon cannister purge line to the original plenum.

12mm holes and m12 bolts on RS models. Non RS are 10mm/m10.

Waterpump is Aux belt driven. I'd change it aswell but not necessary. Did he change the whole Cam/aux belt kit incl. pulleys or just the belts? Correct tools used?

Plug and play. Same connections, same adjusters.

Needs to be from a Clio with factory fitted xenon lights (2nd pump for headlight washers).

FLOL. Do Facepalmlands have camber adjustment?

That's poor. Proper coilovers come with the possibility to adjust camber :rasp:.

My parents live in the north of Hanover. you can get discs with bearings and ABS-rings quite cheap from a motor factor (OE quality). I could get you a quote from my Renault dealer here aswell as i get discount. Just drop me a PM if you need some help.

The cambelt may be damaged by overreving the engine. If your mechanic did this, he's not a proper mechanic. There is some note from an engine specialist floating around (cba to search for it now) that the F4R engines like to drop valves after timing belt failure and not exchanging the whole set...

Impressive R26R. Are the Ford boards so bad that the FRP/FRS fanboys spend most of their time on CS.net? SRS question bruv.

Visiting RSTuning or TDF (Tour-De-Force) might be an option for you.

Timing wouldn't be affected by trashing. Could have been a damaged aux belt (alternator not working). My first rule: Never give a F4R-powered Clio in hands you don't trust/have the knowledge to work on these engines. Did they use the correct tools/procedure for retiming the engine? BTW: there is...

Don't know. You could remove the upper bolt from the strut-hub connection and look if it is a regular hole or elongated.

I am running -1°30" (-1.5 deg) and it's pretty good. Don't your coilovers have elongated holes for camber adjustment?

LOL, where are you mate? Might have a look if you want to?

What's been wrong with your head? I'd check the dephaser for play by removing the "cam caps" on the gearbox side and wiggling the inlet camshaft. Dephasers seem to dislike wrong oil grades and wrong servicing intervals.

Where do you get these AD08s and how much are they a corner? Need some proper tires for next year's trackdays. Any suggestions? RS2s? 595 RSRs? Mind: I am not a high roller. ;)

Bearing could be internally shagged. Could be leaking grease which would be visible. Does the droning noise become louder/quieter whilst cornering?

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner Fap-tastic little car!

Painted carbon bonnet is senseless as paint adds weight. ;) Looks good as it is!

Awesome colour! Gloss black Turinis and stripes might be cool.
