If the clio was going slower he would have broke less hard.
Nobody other than the clio driver is at fault for locking up and nearly having a crash.
If mark was doing 130mph and the clio driver decided he would do 130mph, it's down to the clio driver to drive at a safe enough distance that he...
Marks speed has fk all to do with anything!!
It's up to the clio driver to remain at a safe distance. Which he either didn't or wasn't paying attention. Either way, mark's speed is irrelevant in this instance.
IMO.
Standard engine, custom ITB manifold, power steering and ac delete, 182 manifold, custom exhaust, mtec ecu mapped at circuit motors/sabre tuning.
214bhp and 186ftlb.
Yeah it was a bit of a downer. The dephaser was replaced less than 150 miles ago but it was over 4 years ago.
I don't think it liked 8000rpm the first day after being rested for 4 years.
I told him it's an ideal time for cams but he's having nOne of it.
It had it's first outing today. It's quick!!
Sadly it shat it's dephaser on the last run and knocked the timing out :(

Some pics;
So, this has been made and is on the road! (Illegally...)
Going on its first track day on Friday.
It was mapped by circuit motors last week and it managed 214bhp ATF. It goes like stink!! Makes our 240bhp mini look like a micra.
I'll update with some photos on Friday. @Cub. should be in...
This. I use a specialist for window scratches, he has all the kit, and he said that if you can feel it with a fingernail, there is no chance of getting it out.
It's fiddly but yes it's just a standard procedure.
Don't just replace the belt though, get the whole kit.
If the belt has frayed due to a tensioner issue and you just replace the belt you'll have the same problem in two weeks time!
Order a kit from Renault Wolverhampton on here. As cheap as...
That's your aux belt. Not the end of the world mate.
(As long as the part we can't see isn't wrapped around the Cambelt!)
Rent a car for 2 days, get a mobile mechanic to fit a new aux belt kit.
Bosh.
Whatever you wish mate. I normally open all the windows and let it breathe for 5 minutes before I get in it and drive it. But nothing is actually 'needed' because it's done all it's settling during the 24 hours.
