With the right driver it would definately be a faster car, Andy just needs some confidence in it

I use the 6mm crank pin, the gearbox end tool (horseshoe), and the pully locking tool. All with the cambelt still in place, which takes some of the strain off the tools. Also, I dont buy/use the cheap copy tools (Which are the ones that WILL bend, Laser etc.) I have the genuine renault items.

Lol. Clio still runnin?

Disused road just off J22 on the M6

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Not really, just using up my left overs from this year, then will sort out tyres for next year over the winter :) Few from a bit of a meet we had this evening...

Met up with Alex C earlier, was good to see Jamies old car again! Bifcaids joined us for a few pictures, looking miles better with some rear camber :approve:

Cool. There should be some washers under them allen key heads though IIRC!

"Lack of Talent" springs to mind. LOL.

Support the engine with a jack and remove the top mount... Then you ideally need to get the engine to TDC, and lock the crank from the timing hole on the front with a 6mm pin. You also really need to lock the cams on the gearbox end, so you can undo the pullies. IIRC the inlet pulley/cam will...

Paradas, never, ever, again lol. Currently stuntin' some semi slicks on the front, its bad enough in the dry lol.

Looks cold. And damp. Good job I couldnt make it, I would have probably come off the road, lol.

Well the day is £149....then you've got fuel obviosuly, depending on how much you go out depends on how much you will use, cant really say! If you keep an eye on tyre pressures (and they are decent tyres) you shouldnt wear them much tbh, unles your driving like a maniac lol, and dont stay out...

Wouldnt matter really, nothing an email/PM to Jeremy @ RUK couldnt sort out, valver isnt on the list as a 1.8, but they still allowed it with no problems.

On the RenaultSport site, under trackdays http://www.renaultsport.co.uk/roadcars/trackdays/overview/fullday/

yeh its the one beaniemoo bought

No, the welder will just burn through it, its just the type of metal Unfortunately not I dont think. lol.:race:

Hes on about the chassis plates, not the cage... All the paint was off, I sanded it! Its because the metal is galv and wafer thin

Awesome.

Its only because its a shi*te ford chassis LOL. Anything non-ford related he can do ;) yummy.

They were DIY - http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=454887 The ducting itself was from a local flexible pipe supplier :)

172 Ph1 airbox... Both of which go to one of these on each side...

Looks tidy (Well apart from the brake decals, lol)! Nice low milage for the age, plans sound good too!

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project I usually take another set, the williams wheels are just road wheels now to get to and from places, and the Superleggeras for track :)

A guy walked into Renault last time I was there ordering some parts and purchased one, off the top of my head I think it was £30 odd!

lol. valver swap could be done in a day from start to driving it away with ease if you had all the parts to hand

The cams alone are £600odd as said, some manufacturers are more (Schrick) and some less (Piper) and some around the same (Cat Cams)....All depends on the suppliers prices obviously too... On top of that you have fitting, which is a cambelt off job and quite a bit of labour. so you may aswell...

fail.

...thats still blowing and an engine with f**ked rings. :boring:

Apparently there is only 3 months on the charger if bought separately, although ive yet to check that. I hope its not, as spending £120 on chargers within 4 months is just a joke imo!

Anyone else had one of the Magsafe chargers fail? My 13" Mac came with the 60w version, which failed after just days over a year old. I had to purchase another for nearly £60....and now, only months down the line its failed again. Luckily ive got a few hours of charge so I can copy all my...
