Next year mate! I was talking too much instead of driving as usual:LOL:
The rubber pickup on the track was crazy. I thought a wheel had come loose due to vibration on certain parts of the circuit and limped in to check/find all were tight. After talking to a few people most were suffering with...
Great updates mate. Heatgun trick on the seatbelt stalks looks bang on, ill do that on mine.
Acf50 is recommended for the ceramic coating on the exhaust manifolds to protect the coating and aid cleaning. It burnishes into the finish, smokes like feck on fire up. Didnt realise it goes up:oops...
Epic day. Great to catch up with everybody and massive thanks to everybody who put the graft in behind the scenes to set this all up.
Anglesey is a great circuit i really enjoyed driving it, and was absolutely worth the 6 hour drive.
Both vans survived and didnt give any issues so id say 100%...
Was horrendous on 56. Waze directed me some dodgy back roads which were moving about 1mph. Need a knee replacement with the 4 paddle clutch in the Extra van!
Thats good. My speedo is gps so kept going off :LOL:
Couple of small updates
Stereo had no surround around it and looked crap.
£5 trim to tidy it up.
The silver centre part of the dash still looks a bit shite. Might get a new one or paint it up at some point.
Coilpack studs and nuts fitted. Coil number 4 had no bolt in it initially suprised it...
Cheers mate appreciated, stainless will be spot on.
R26 lsd will make a massive difference. I remember the difference was insane when i changed the stock 225 box to r26 on the mrs ph1 225 back in the day. R26 front arb is worth fitting whilst subframe is off too.
That one above looks mega in white.
Mine is on b14s, still got rear adjusters in. Stock top mounts up front.
No idea on height, i raised one side on the front to level it, driver side iirc as when i got it it was a bit on the piss.
Cheers mate i will absolutely take a pair of them if thats ok. Everything on this looks like its been in the sea!
As far as im aware lower arms for 225/26 are nla and have been for a while. Not a problem with pov spec arms available and easily modded.
Recommend the vibratechnics rear arm...
Thanks all!
Didnt see the wags thread :LOL:
If the stars have aligned i should get more than 6 laps this year at CSF. Hopefully nothing will go wrong and itll be a good one.
I done exactly the same thing with angle sensor on the squib, pushed connector into the blank hole and was wondering why it wouldnt work. Almost bought a new squib before i seen it :LOL:
Updates.
More datalogging, still had a slight overboost situation up hills/max load. Ive knocked 1.5 turns of preload off the acutator to lower the base pressure and done extensive datalogging on the road late at night. 100% confident its bang on the money, 22psi tapering to 19psi under full...
Updates.
On way home i took it to my mates to get it on the 4 poster for a good look to see the damage. Id had a quick look underneath but its good to get it up in the air.
Floor looks good.
Turbo oil return is leaking/looks like its been bodged with chemi metal. Whiffs of oil.
Suspension...
Track sounds quick cant wait.
Ill have renolink, can clip and rstuner with me so if anybody has issues on the day shout me. Hopefully wont be using any on the kangoo :LOL:
Cheers mate!
Cheers mate. Was too good to turn down. My mates nicknamed our house the RRC (Renault rescue centre) :LOL:
Cheers mate. Should be able to get it right for £500 ish i reckon with all new suspension goodies.
