Sounds like you're thinking the same way I am tbh.

So do those bleed bottles make it a one man job to bleed the brakes? I'm assuming yes? If that is the case, do us an idiot proof drawing as I've only got an eezibleed and I just find it a faff tbh.

Put in reverse and cable tie the lever fully over in the reverse position to pull it up tight to the reverse lift part of the shifter base. That's how I did mine and it was spot on from the get go.

Great minds! :wink:

Oh and needs orange or black wheels maybe? 🙈

1st picture shows how narrow the cup racers were on the rear! Never noticed that before tbh! Also shows how much better they look with body colour mirror caps, and dare I say it, I think I prefer it without the grey wrap..... 2nd picture is just full of win! The trophy really does look epic...

Lol! I'll have a look in the group buy thread and see how many had expressed interest in the grp n tool mate. I need 10 as a minimum before it'll start.

How many do you want mate?

This weekend the AG let me down. On Saturday I was going up to Donington park to watch @Ash-b-84 @Tony Hunter @@Josh & @Tom Johnson racing in the TARC. I jumped in the 200 and reversed out of the garage, then switched it off to close the garage door and put my daily driver golf tdi back on the...

I see no problems here? Lol

If they're forged pistons, it's detonation that's killed it........

Ringland failure that. They do look like supertech valves mate yes. The inlets have a black coating on them, but the exhausts are polished. They still look to have the coating/polished appearance.

No problem mate. :up:

738 crank mate that.

Got any pics? I'll be able confirm which crank you have

Don't weigh any steel rods for these engines then mate. You may be upset! Lol! They're a lot heavier. So what engine has the crank and rods come out of? The cranks in the 736 ain't the best, but the 738 isn't too bad. 730 is the one to go for if you can find one.

Are they all 640g's? As in the heavier ones? If not I'd get them all dynamically balanced along with the crank, pistons, flywheel and crank pulley.

I would say that's just tolerances that renault will allow mate tbh. I've never seen different rods in f4r's before (as in 730, 736, 738 & 830) but they're slightly different on the 225/230. Has it spun the centre main causing the big ends to fail? Or just the big ends are sounding like Woody...

The wire you need is one of the 2 thinner wires going to the coil pack. The thick white wire is the 12v supply. You need to tap into one of the 2 signal wires.

Yeah I'll keep you posted mate. It'll go to scoff for mapping anyway. Bloke does, but I do it on the side. I'm a fully qualified mechanic though, but I mainly build the jc5's up for people. Yeah if you wanted grp n timing just drop me a pm and we can sort something out. I'm sure bloke will say...

Tbf mate my cup was very similar when it was on the standard engine and grp n timing. They did something similar with the mk3's as well, and I may or may not have the stuff to do it. :wink:

The best I've seen was 178lb/ft mate. It's all about the low down torque with the grp n timing though tbh. That's their party piece.

Only one mapped by scoff was @Chambers_RS 's cup with the rs2 mate. I don't personally have any graphs, but the ones I've seen have all made better torque than 197 cams, but not as much peak hp.

On a 200 cup it's was just normal a/c I think mate. Only the full fats came with climate.

Yeah I've done quite a few now tbh. They do go well I must say.

If it's got climate control it's a full fat. If it's got manual a/c, it's a cup with a few additional options ticked off. Obviously there's more to it than that, but that's one to pick up on from the interior. From the exterior if it's got colour coded bump strips it's a full fat. Plain black...

lol I don't even need to follow the link!! I know exactly which 'veyron' rep this is! A blind man would be pleased to see it no doubt. 😂

They came in a foam tube that was held secure with Velcro in the wheel well mate

It's been that long I think I may have forgotten a lot of it all now! 😂 I know that feeling mate about losing the love. I was very pleased to see the cup come home after my Nurburgring fiasco, but that soon faded and the decision was made that its time with me was over. Thankfully...

Can of tyre foam matey.
