The way mine gets driven its low 30s over all circa 50miles a day, half driven on cruise control the other with total disregard for fuel economy. Will do 40 on a gentle run. Do a track day and its be in the teens to low 20s (I do have a hybrid turbo on)
They have really dropped on prices! I thought mine was a reasonable price at near 10k not far off 2 years ago. I really like them, one of the best all round RS Renaults I've owned. The flame red is a really good colour too when fresh (reminds me mine needs a proper clean and polish again soon)
Made a big dent on the "paint" issue today. Not that pretty but it'll do. Chassis also seems to be galvanised and I could only see 1 spot smaller than a 5p that had started to go, main damage was actually under the engine mount. When I next get the car up in the air ill do similar from the...
Driving along recently and I had a brake system fault warning ping up. Having had it before I assumed it just needed a fluid top up. I wasn't wrong but it looks like the cap has been leaking too. First I noticed a brackets paint peeling, then I looked further down and the same is happening to...
Once the ecu stuff is wrapped ill try and get some actual fun vids done. They aren't as entertaining as the pro YouTube stuff but putting them together gives me some fun (y)
Wonder if it'll skid..... 🤔
quite possibly one of the comfiest retro Renaults I've owned, for a small car it wafted around and the seats were super comfy, but more akin to an old broken in leather sofa than something to drive from.
And this is how its sitting now. After many hours of wiring, rebuild work and an engine swap to a 1397cc. Next up im converting it to electronic mapable ignition using a Motorsport Electronics Nodiz Gen-X
build thread can be found HERE if you fancy a long read or if watching in the...
Some of you may know me from some of my "rustier" Renault escapades. Had this one for just over a year. a 1968 Renault R8. Ill link to a build thread as its a lot to port over. I love old Renaults and like them wearing their age. It isn't to everyone's taste but has ended up as a great usable...
So... slightly chavvy update. With my front splitter I've always felt the side skirts looked too high compared to the front of the car. I've always snubbed people like Maxton for there extensions thinking they were some vacuum formed plastic that wound break at the first instance, and for being...
one way to check is put it in 4th and watch the boost gauge and how it reacts, do the same in 5th and if it holds back more you may have clutch slipping.
Clutch one in mine intermittently slips, I think its light contamination. If i track day it or beat on it its not an issue, only does it...
I've been looking back at some of my track vids, not sure mine gets that hot tbh
Daily driving is around 70 80 after traffic.
Track looks like 130/140 ish
I know bud, I think its been the same for the last 3 orders I've placed with them, that and incorrect parts twice! glutton for punishment, I wont do it again.
6 weeks from ordering the compbrake top mounts through Ktec and still cant even provide an ETA on delivery. I've now asked for a refund.
I swear customer service has gone out of the window these days. Is it just me or am I stupid to expect better? I don't feel I should even have to chase for...
