Stick a ph1 stalk on with horn button to save replacing the squib

Track was mega busy i had a bm in my blind spot coming into the carussel so didnt drop in as couldnt judge his position. Took the top route which is smooth and i got the power in absolutely seeing him off and exiting before him. No issues really apart from pulling in the carpark after the lap...

2nd October. Reims then Nurburgring. Pissing down and R888R not the best combo! Was alright steady away though Autobahns in the wet. Put my foot down and Extra was misfiring a little on boost i can only think it was the crap 98octane fuel. Monday 3rd October. Woke up to a nice dry yet fresh...

Jean Ragnotti was there, so got my Sabelt steering wheel signed by him. Ive met him a few times over the last 20 years or so and hes an absolute gentleman. He said one more pic and puts his hat on my head. Epic Parked on the banked circuit for a quick pic on parade laps. This was not even the...

Sat 1st Oct losange passion international 2022. What an epic show. Its bi annually and 50years of the r5 was the agenda. Its all Renault and over 700 cars were on show/ 3500 visitors. Such a good vibe, one of the best car shows ive been to. Parade laps on the banked circuut was awesome...

Updates With the kangoo currently out of action and the Paris/Nurburgring trip on the cards i needed a vehicle capable of the trip. Was tempted to take the Trophy but its had its fun on the welsh weekender and the clutch is awful and id like it to be mapped for full power. The Blue meg 225...

Thats good going. Not far off oem bottom balljoint lifespan. I certainly wont worry about my 2000 miles a year wearing them out in a hurry.

Approx how many miles did you do on a set of bearings? I think ill get a pair in stock at that price. Interested in dust boots too, it was something i planned on looking at for mine.

That looks like a bit of threaded bar bodged on which has fained. Take it to a custom exhaust place they will be able to sort it for a few quid, just needs a new hanger welding on

Castor correct on the new wishbones? Camber also somewhere near?

Measure it instead of guessing, should be able to do it by turning wheel full lock on stock rideheight

Great job. Price sounds fair too.

Looks class in white, renault missed a trick not doing them that colour originally. Regarding asr light, can turn it off with clip if needs be. I disconnected the yaw sensor on the trophy so the asr does not cut in.

Looks class. I bet it sounds like its got new wheel bearings in after removing the r888r:LOL:

Great updates, have been reading for a while. No joy with the wheel bearings, is it just the heat/load causing the driveshaft nut to back off?

@Coops Mk1 runs wilwoods on his valver with 172 hubs iirc, i think he runs superleggeras.

Cant do 250 airbags with clip, need renolink or ddt. Gold board/full chip clip clone is best. Need win7 32bit laptop for most of the software.

Info on here regarding how to wire up properly so the epas ecu sees vehicle speed and rpm. https://cliosport.net/threads/epas-fault-help.841005/ Some pics on my Trophy thread too post #312 https://cliosport.net/threads/t-turbo-is-back.536356/page-8#post-12324798 Its awful with the...

Join straight onto the cut cables with an uninsulated crimp and cover with dual wall heatshrink. Ideally you want a hydraulic crimper and ferrule to suit, about £30 off ebay. Id also consider wiring the epas ecu up to the car properly instead of the potentiometer setup, as it does not work...

The wilwood calipers are quite compact so i would imagine they will fit ok, its only the meg brembos that usually give issues. I run et43 2118 with wilwoods/reyland rotors and bells and loads of clearance without spacers.

Lsd and roll correction kit. Transforms them.

Great update. Much difference with the egr operational again? Ive not tried spinning it round yet. Reminds me i must do cambelt on my orange dci soon. Overdue on years.

Updates Done a few small jobs to the Extra. Serviced it, fresh Valvoline vr1 racing 20/50 mineral oil and purflux filter. Ive stuck with the vr1 as it seems like good stuff and oil pressure is epic on it. 4bar oil pressure hot over 3k rpm which is miles better than the average c1j that...

Ive managed to get a copy of NT6027A if anybody needs it in the future, covers all bottom end details.

Looks like i need Technical Note 6027A

Ive seen that but interested in bearing clearances and a few other bits. I assume there is an F4R rebuild manual that has everything in, i have similar for a few other ren engines.

Good Morning all Does anybody have a f4r engine rebuild manual? I need torque settings/sequences for big ends/mains, clearances etc. I only have the service manual and it does not cover much of the bottom end and struggling to find anything.

Ive been told its very similar from a good source. There is slight visual differences, meg250 coilpack securing bolt on number 1 cylinder faces towards flywheel so it can be unbolted easily with boost hose fitted, whereas 197 number 1 coilpack securing bolt faces towards cambelt same as 225...

Updates Kangoo is now sorn due to poorly engine. Ive not really touched it since last post but have started gathering parts. Have purchased a rebuilt megane bottom end. Spec is Wossner pistons stock c/r, pec conrods, new oem renault oil pump, gen renault main bearings, king big end bearings...

Pre mot update. Cv boot done, hour of mess yesterday. Shaft out, good few choice blows to cv with large hammer and cv popped off. Note genuine renault cv boot in the background. Typically would not fit as aftermarket shaft and slightly bigger outer cv. So had to scrouge round and found a...
