Speaking from experience? ;)

I can supply you with a gripper if you want one. Let me know.

robjohnsonrallying clear your inbox mate. :o

The bolts are M5 stainless steel in the one I've seen that's failed. As I'm sure your probably aware, stainless steel is not designed for high tensile applications. Your better off with a gearbox rebuild imo. Re-use the plate just use high tensile M5 countersunk bolts and loctite. That's all...

That's the expensive bit! Lol

That's the downside of running a gripper and lower cw&p unfortunately mate. It's all about the trade offs. You ideally want a long 1st gear to get the car moving and up to some decent speed, then the remaining gears nice and close to keep the car in the power band.

Sound. I'll find out the availability of the cw&p and drop you a pm when I know mate.

Ooh ooh!! If you do that you could bring it round to mine and we could build mine and yours up at the same time!! Like 2 little homosexuals!! Pmsl!! No kissing though. The dog will get jealous. (As in the spaniel! Lol) What races you thinking of doing as well? I'm available for general verbal...

Not if you use/buy the commercial vehicle ones as the arms are longer. That's what I've got and never have any issues.

It's not a straight swap I'm afraid. You need to drill and tap the cylinder head for some of the mounting bolts (1 I think off the top of my head) and if it's the same as a 197 inlet the ports in the manifold are higher up. You need to do some serious porting to make it work. By the time you've...

Hi mate. I'd have to make the call to gripper, but it's whatever's available from them mate. Your probably as well with the lowest one they do as you don't need the top speed.

I can supply a brand new gripper with your choice of final drive for £1425 delivered. Let me know if your interested robjohnsonrallying

Was that on a Clio?

Re: The life of... SharkyUK's Trophy [& Fred's V6] I'm pretty sure the gen90 would need to go back to them for the firmware update Andy.

It's more because the damping and springs are too soft mate. Plus the karousel gives the car a real battering anyway.

Lol yeah I can see how your decision was influenced then!! Ah right ok, so a similar spec to mine then other than you've got itb's. I'd certainly be interested to see what hp yours makes as a comparison for what the R3 spec engine should make.

Ah yeah that's fair enough mate. Whats your engine spec then? For serious hp you need to be up in the regions of 50+ mm on the bodies due to the size of the inlet ports. You also want around a 7-10 degree taper from the itb to the inlet valves. It all helps with cylinder fill you see. I'm...

Loctite 518 is what's recommended by Renault. Expensive, but very good.

I stand corrected then. Dash dodger means the front hoop of the cage comes down in front of the dash rather than passing through it.

As Martin has said, the safety devices one comes ready to bolt together and bolt in. You have to weld strengthening plates to the shell though where the cage bolts in. If you get a custom cages or oreca you have to weld them in fully and they come as a load of tubes. The omp comes in 2 options...
