Not bought any expensive waxes, but my go to collinite 476 lasts forever. You dont need to apply it very often, once or twice a year, just topped up with sonax bsd every now and then.
Ive also been using gtechniq c2v3 which is good. Overall id say the collinite lasts as long as the c2v3.
Can anybody with the Bridgecraft/Northloopcup setup do me a favour and measure the length of the roll correction pin and rosejoint (from hub to end of thread) ?
Im about ready to hit the switch and buy a setup for my R5gtt converted Extra van, need to check if it will fit under my 13” wheels...
I paid £60 for a regas with leak dye. I believe most places will add leak dye for free if you ask.
If you think you have a leak, any good specialist will be able to fill it up with nitrogen, leak dye and a small amount of refrigerant. I paid £25 for that, and they checked around the visible...
I took a punt on these seals for the wide ones, supposed to be for a megane. No idea if correct size yet as not disturbing anything unless the gas leaks out.

Can get the pag oil cheap off ebay about a fiver for a small bottle. Sometimes you can get a bit out of the old pipework to wet the seal.
Regarding replacing the o-rings, i spoke to my local air con specialist and he said they rarely change the o rings unless damaged or the system has been in a...
Good to hear the seals arrived ok (y)
Working ac is totally the way forward, id rather go on a diet myself than pull it out of a road car.
Id be temped to change the condensor for a new one as it looks a little bit oily as they are quite cheap to buy. Ive found a source for the wide seals that...
Great vid, love Castle Combe.
What camera are you using, quality looks class.
Cant believe combe let the lad out in the mx5 with an open face helmet, i got pulled at Cadwell in an open face helmet in an s2000, had to do the reverse of shame :LOL:
Its probably a knackered clone clip, The cheap ones break for fun. Can get the software and leads but i wouldnt chance it myself.
Good quality clone is around £130 new on ebay.
Racetech oil temp is a fixed length pipe from memory you cant chop it.
If you need the oil pressure pipe, easy to knock up a pipe from 3an ptfe if you know what fitting is on the gauge.
Aircon gassed up and working great. Noticed die leaking around the top fitting on the condensor yesterday so it wont last long. I guess the original seal gamble did not work. Waste of £60 :cautious:
Found the oem seals now so when it runs out of gas will try again
Updates
Got a flier from work this afternoon, just had to endure a 2 hour teams meeting with 50 of us in it:sleep:
Anyway straight out to fit the new rad and condensor pack. Whipped grill and slam panel off and it was out in ten mins.
Black mark shows the leaks on the old condensor.
Bolts...
Small update
Still waiting for the aircon rad to turn up, at this rate by the time its fixed, i wont need to use it:cautious:
Anyway i fitted a cup holder today. Not the most elegant but should hopefully do the job
Greggs cup test as thats how we roll;)
Ive bit the bullet and ordered the rad pack, genuine ren aircon seal kit and a gallon of type d. It best turn up fast before the hot weather goes :LOL:
Cheers all, its turned out far better than expected, such a buzz being able to drive it hard again.
As for reliability, its hard to say how long the stock pistons and rods will last at this power. I better get some forged items in stock:)
So the day came and it was time to get the Extra mapped.
Filled the tank with tesco's finest 99 momentum and set off on the journey to Efiparts. Had a steady drive on the way down as the base map was ok but not great, sat at around 50-60mph. The weather was exceptionally hot around 25 degrees...
Later WSR poss 2010? I couldnt make the Saturday so let my mate take my gtt. He took all the glory and got pissed on the gala evening and i ended up driving down on the Sunday in my daily driver:LOL: He did get my drivers side sunvisor signed by Jean Ragnotti though so can let him off.
I recall...
I think this pic was 2006 WSR. Im sure i only missed the first and last one. Can remember seeing the megane r26 when new, and thinking it was awful. Also can remember the ph1 172 cup racers, and the megane trophy racers. They were so loud when on full chat.
Went to that in my old white R5gtt. Free parade laps, Renault hospitality all day and the gala do on the night with free drink. Great era, must have cost Ren a fortune.
Its a shame the last couple went down the pan with the freeloaders, cars on display damaged etc, and i think they knocked the...
Been trying to get the aircon fired up again as back at work and doing mega mileage as usual.
Had the local aircon specialist gas it up with leak dye a couple of weeks ago, and aircon worked briefly as they added a little bit of refrigerant. Took it back for uv light and they said its the...
