for the title i have said the clio weights 910kg but im not sure tbh. Once i get it all sorted ill get it properly weighted. Nice work :D im sure your 205 is getting used more than my Clio :(

lol ive spoke to craig on many occasions recently. Removed the radiator about 30 mins ago, sending it back to Serck to see if they can make me a new one with an extra 3 inches on top. Will fit well and should provide quite a bit more cooling. Carl

Drove the car back from Tour-De-Force this morning. Did 190 miles and averaged 36mpg :D The car is running too warm so need to either get a new radiator or modify the current one as its not getting enough air. Carl

Thanks Matt. It has been a pleasure dealing with Tour-De-Force and i look forward to collecting the car on tuesday :) 17th July 2010 The work by Tour-De-Force has been completed. Its had a new EC1 ecu + cal, Renault ecu removed, engine bay loom separated and removed what wasn't needed, control...

yeah was speaking to matt about this, when he altered the fueling to anything else the car didnt like it at all so had to stick to that.

depends on money but i very much doubt it. The car wont be getting used much over the next year as i have to move to london for a year for work. Carl

Yeah im on 423's

no idea, with its low weight/high power/LSD i think it would be around 5.5-6 Carl

no idea but theres not much left of the car, plastic windows with big heavy cage so i guess around 910kg Carl

Its the ktec uprated engine mount which is powder coated to match engine (http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=2655&appid=2) pic without filter

I thought i would post a new thread for this as i am very proud and very happy of the car and how far it has come. The car is mapped and sorted! not as high power as i thought but as you can see the power is still climbing lol. The car has been at Tour-De-Force for the past 2/3 weeks. The car...

Re: Mk1 F4R/172'd Track Car Project the problem is with RAC and AA is that the customer service is not consistent. One van driver may not be bothered and pick you up etc, another one may tell you to f@ck off. I got towed from leeds to boro with the track car, that is too low so he helped...

paddock club or paddock passes? me and bazzon have paddock club passes for the saturday Carl

I provided Craig with a genuine renault seal kit. This is the seal he removed compared to a correct one (correct seal on right) and the clutch As said, Craig looks like he has got his act together so credit goes to him. Not singing his praises yet as the car is still in Wales but so far...

Car was delivered to Matt at Tour-De-Force last monday. The engine bay wiring was stripped back with the renault ECU being removed. The dash was then fitted and control box wired up. Matt got the car started and the engine sounded spot on, produced the correct oil pressure etc. But then a big...

Fitted a fuel pump/filter and the car runs brilliant! no knocking or anything, very smooth. Fitted new front pads and discs and new rear pads and discs. Had to replace one of the rear calipers due to it being seized. Gave the interior a wipe over for the photo as i havent got many photos of...

this. Awful cars for road use. Carl

Spotted you on the front at Redcar. I was in the focus RS rubbernecking haha Carl:lolup:

exactly the same as mine, bloody annoying

Started on getting the car going today. - Fixed the wiring in the car so it would turn over (car turned but would not fire) - Repaired the TDC loom/plug - Removed each plug, re-gapped them - Check fire order and check for spark. After doing this the car would not fire so knew it was fuel...

Looks really good matt! im sure it must have had a higher budget that what i have ;)

Rear hatch brackets are bent, going to give it some heat on tuesday to see if i can bend it into shape. If not i will need a new hatch. Carl

makes me feel canny young, the car is the same age as me :o Carl

Plan is to keep it completely standard, tidy it up, MOT it and drive around listening to a 90's mix tape :cool: then once i get bored....sell it lol Its a non runner but i havent even looked at why its not starting, hopefully i will get it running on tuesday. Carl

Ready to be dropped off at Tour De Force on Monday morning. Carl

Well ive gone and bought it. Its a Renault 5 GT Turbo on a G plate with 79k on the clock. Its had 2 previous owners with all tax discs present, and possibly a fully service history. The car was bought from a lady who had a troubled divorce with her husband in 1999 so the car has been stored for...

Im using Catcam 423 cams with standard valves and catcam springs: 5502423 292 / 284° 255 / 247° 11.25 / 11.25mm 3.95 / 3.40mm custom HYDR: rally & race These were the wildest cam i could go for without using solid lifters, i did look at the 551/552/553 cams but they all require solid lifters...

nobody on here has used the cams which i have used so im not sure. The 422's which are the slightly milder cam produce around 235/240bhp so i would suspect around that. Not sure on torque tbh. Carl

The engine is now complete! Once fitted i wasnt too happy with how close the filter was to the bonnet so decided to cut the skin out of the bonnet. I didnt have the nerve so gave the job to the fabricator. The car now will be loaded onto a low loader and will delivered to Tour De Force on...
