Yeah 25mm2 will be fine. I wouldn't bother extending it, just replace in a larger guage. I use a mega fuse and fuse holder on mine and they are 100% needed. The original Renault starter/alternator wiring has the fusible link built in to it to protect itself from direct shorts to earth and...

You want either a 150amp or a 175amp fuse mate. Anything any higher and you run the risk of it not doing it's job believe it or not. Mount the fuse as close to the battery as possible too. I use 30mm2 cable on mine using a red top 25 varley. The battery is located under the passenger seat...

It's not so much that I'm there for hardcore laptimes I'm just an anti social miserable c**t. Lol

Like f**k it is!! That region is a lot colder at night than you expect! Lol

The most I've been with was 10 mate and it was horrendous tbh. Started going just me and the missus in the end and preferred it a lot more. Ah so not proper camping then! Cheats camping! Flol!

Holy s**t! 40?!? I'd rather pickle my testicles than camp tbh. Got frostbite from camping at spa in August for the f1 - never again! Lol! I even had a 4 seasons sleeping bag!!

Yes up for it providing the engine and box are in and done. Also, how much of a group are we talking? Big numbers mean big logistical issues for going out for food/hotels etc etc.

Flat through schedenkreuz = balls. Like it!!

Petrol power ftw!!! 8 merlin engines singing happily as they use more than a gallon a minute with another 4 merlins just purring away on the ground. Derv power may be winning Le Mans, but petrol power helped to win the war! Flol! http://youtu.be/PFUE0mVGp3E

Run it on castrol r? Love the smell of that stuff. Lol!!

If they need to use heat on the tre's they should consider doing the job properly and removing, cleaning and anti seize compounding them ffs. If a jobs worth doing, do it right. Really f***s me off when people bodge!!!!

Sounds to me like its stuck in 5th gear now to me. Where are you based? If your close to me I'll have a look at it.

Well done on your big update mate. You were very restrained! I don't think I would've been able to hold back my 'excitement' though and would've almost certainly dropped the nut if I'd picked my car up in that state!!! Such a shame it was left this way, but as you say, onwards and upwards.

I'm on 2500's and I've never had an issue on track. I am not a heavy braker though admittedly.

I'm feeling that go kart!! What's the spec?

I use dunlop tracking gauges and NEVER have an issue getting the steering wheel straight. It's not rocket science. Bring it to me!! Lol

The bit of plastic pictured earlier is the oil splash feed to 5th gear mate. If your dad removed some plastic from the gearbox it's either melted or got snapped when you were removing the 5th gear cover.

It cut out and wouldn't restart because your crank sensor signal comes from the flywheel mate. They have the teeth machined into them. How much damage has it done? They'll happily scrap a block and gearbox at those rpm's! I'd be checking the cam timing as well as you may have jumped a tooth on...

Bad Obsession Motorsport - they're doing a mini with celica gt four engine and running gear! Also worth a watch for the comedy.

Yes mate it would still work. The downside to it is that you'll have more turns from lock to lock.

When you say the tyre is rubbing the arch, which part is it rubbing? Is it the arch lips or the inside of the arch? Do you have spacers on the rear and what is the offset of your wheels? There's a method to the madness.

On a normal 172/182 it's around a 70/30 split. On a 172 cup there's next to no braking effort on the rear and they usually fail mot as a result. This was setup this way by the renaultsport engineers as they had no abs. It's probably nearer 90/10 on the split on a cup tbh.

I'm afraid I can't answer that question regards the brembos and spacers. Ph1 Tom will be able to though as he will be running this setup soon. If it's a track car aim for 2.5-3 degrees negative. If it's road and some track 2-2.5. 10-15 minutes of toe out will do the trick as well.

Et37 will stick out further than et43 mate. On et37 I'd go no wider than 12mm tbh. It's all personal preference though.

Correct! 15mm up front is the maximum you can go without toatally ruining the scrub geo but that's on standard offset rims of around ET45 (ish). You'll get better handling from roll centre/bump steer corrections, as we've found and proven. You'll get away with spacing the rears further, but i'd...

That had the potential to be all starting to go wrong at 160mph if he was on the pace. It feels fast in that section at 135 in a Clio, but when the Porsches overtake you it makes you feel like your doing about 70!!

You could buy a 2nd hand loom off eBay and strip it down to get the fusible link out of it then transfer it on your car. Big job though unfortunately.

I can't really say that I noticed any difference tbh, but as with everything, every little helps. You'll probably release a few hp/lb ft throughout the rpm range

For £168 I'd rather modify my own. That's all I did on my cup.

I'll be honest and upfront here, if that was me 'self preservation' would kick in and I'd pull up around the next corner.
