As above Corvette ducts are great. I’ve got Cm composite cup ducts in my bumper and corvette ones fit behind them perfect!

Cool, hopefully we can get a little convoy sorted closer to the time!

Getting closer to being ‘done’ aiming to have it on the road/MOT’d for the April Sunday scramble.

Thought I’d pop my 182 in this thread as it will be going on track one day when I get my s**t sorted out. @Joah old car but now has the turbo’d engine out of my cup in it. Just have a few jobs to do and it’ll be ready for an alternative track toy in ‘24!

On the calendar it goes, will get my arse in gear and have a car ready this time!

White but I’m bias 😆

My 172 I had was mapped by EFI (the go to Renault tuner in the uk) had group n timing and 182 exhaust manifold and it made 185bhp 170ftlb of torque. That had totally stock inlets on it.

Thought I would update on NUP, unfortunately she is now an N/A car again. It was proving difficult to race the car somewhere where I wanted too while being turbocharged. I had 2 choices: Sell/break the car and buy something else Or the route I chose swap the running gear over from my RB 182...

Have to pack it out with washers or get new sleeves made up, the 2 I owned and fitted in the past were the exact same.

How weird I raced against that car when I raced a boxster, small world.

If you’ve got cup suspension (60mm hubs) that’s normal

Haha im not smart enough to know that, just Ktec sort it out. Although it’ll soon be corrected at efi. My car had an AEM piggyback before, didn’t notice too much of a difference to be honest.

I’ve got to work so can’t make it, gutted as I really wanted to go to this one

This is what I received (I edited the barcode out)

Yep 😃 did it just incase I can sack off work.

If I can get out of work I’m planning to come along

Now turbocharged…. One day this car will be done and used 😂

What value would you guys put on a used gen90? It was bought new by me in April ‘22 and was fitted/mapped by Ktec for an ED low boost setup.

I haven’t seen a valeo clutch at that price since about 2014. Two techs are a good specialist and good guys, spent some time with them when they sponsored a car I used to race. Dick move putting this up imo

Still makes me laugh that the cup in the picture has a tow bar on it

I bought this one for my 172 (but total 182 running gear etc) rear right linked. Fits and works all okay. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/185076621225?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=pfWVgpugSlK&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=OL8M4kwdRPS&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

One day she’ll be back together and used.

Now I’ve got you in with my ‘172 cup abs problem’ and you thinking but they don’t have it, mine does as @GrahamS retrofitted it. So the last few track days I’ve done I’ve had an intermittent ABS light appear, ignition reset sorts it. But it’s now grown into a bigger problem. On live data I...

I did think that would be the case 😂 I’ll get one ordered!

😂 typical, was only a tenner of eBay. No doubt it’ll melt again at some point but probably not in my ownership 😂

Fixed the blower motor tonight, had melted the second pin as seems pretty common. New plug and and pin and it’s working on all 4 again 👌🏻 Now I just need to get into the boot, the previous owner said it was dodgy but knew the knack of getting in, I don’t know how he did it yet!!

I’m lucky it didn’t do the rad as well, it made some deep marks on it but still seems water tight!

Ah that’s good to know, thank you! I did read they can get quieter after a regas so I may try that. Also last week the rad fan gave up, think the motor seized and then subsequently overheated. Thanks to @Chode Lint though, new (used) fan fitted and we’re back on the road. I definitely prefer...

Driven it a couple of days to work now, I can see why they’re so popular. Although I think I do still prefer a 182! Couple of questions though: Is this a normal place for the temp gauge to sit? I feel like it’s higher than it should be but could be wrong! Are 197’s prone to have noisy a/c...
