Dyno after the initial engine swap vid (y)

Once the ecu stuff is wrapped ill try and get some actual fun vids done. They aren't as entertaining as the pro YouTube stuff but putting them together gives me some fun (y) Wonder if it'll skid..... 🤔

quite possibly one of the comfiest retro Renaults I've owned, for a small car it wafted around and the seats were super comfy, but more akin to an old broken in leather sofa than something to drive from.

And this is how its sitting now. After many hours of wiring, rebuild work and an engine swap to a 1397cc. Next up im converting it to electronic mapable ignition using a Motorsport Electronics Nodiz Gen-X build thread can be found HERE if you fancy a long read or if watching in the...

Some of you may know me from some of my "rustier" Renault escapades. Had this one for just over a year. a 1968 Renault R8. Ill link to a build thread as its a lot to port over. I love old Renaults and like them wearing their age. It isn't to everyone's taste but has ended up as a great usable...

Cough cough

was I got one for near enough the same, split down the middle with a mate, cheap as chips for 2 nights bunking

So... slightly chavvy update. With my front splitter I've always felt the side skirts looked too high compared to the front of the car. I've always snubbed people like Maxton for there extensions thinking they were some vacuum formed plastic that wound break at the first instance, and for being...

air bnb for me same as last year. 15 min from the track so happy with that. see you all there (y)

err yeah thats me 👋 🤣glad it helped (y)

one way to check is put it in 4th and watch the boost gauge and how it reacts, do the same in 5th and if it holds back more you may have clutch slipping. Clutch one in mine intermittently slips, I think its light contamination. If i track day it or beat on it its not an issue, only does it...

I've been looking back at some of my track vids, not sure mine gets that hot tbh Daily driving is around 70 80 after traffic. Track looks like 130/140 ish

Awesome 👌🏻

ouch

are you talking clutch temp or EDC oil temp?

will be my next port of call im sure (y)

I know bud, I think its been the same for the last 3 orders I've placed with them, that and incorrect parts twice! glutton for punishment, I wont do it again.

6 weeks from ordering the compbrake top mounts through Ktec and still cant even provide an ETA on delivery. I've now asked for a refund. I swear customer service has gone out of the window these days. Is it just me or am I stupid to expect better? I don't feel I should even have to chase for...

anyway, dates?

Option 3, you are already in deep, get the whole lot out on the floor (y) :D

I hope you are replacing the clutch pack and rear main seal too? only asking as you haven't mentioned it. I've not removed it myself but I would be removing the "spike" from the gearbox. You may also need to lower the subframe to have enough clearance for the engine to droop. Where are you...

Spacing is completely off between the 2 unfortunately. The seats are quite different also, the mk5 seats are height adjustable so the frames are very different also.

done bud :D we know the ways

Not done much on this, still waiting now 5 weeks (yes I know Christmas hasn't helped) on some compbrake top mounts, I ordered them through K Tec... when will I learn... Every single item or service I have had through them has been nothing but problems. Anyway I digress. The front brakes have...

great watch if you like the geeky side of stuff. Chris at EFI parts wasn't wrong when saying I was out of hpfp on the car Ive got a b58tu pump sat in the garage that im looking to fit up in the future. Should potentially unleash a few more ponies :D

Brembo conversion, that said I used the stock setup on 2 track days with better fluid and just brembo max pads. If i wasn't planning on a few more track days (and they didn't pop for sale at the right price) I'd be still using that setup with some extra cooling. I have also removed the wind...

I've also been toying with the colour of the side stripes on the car. Managed to get a great colour match vinyl. Threw some on to see what I thought. Another thing on the Christmas break list is to remove them from the car and wrap them properly/better

I actually have a set of mk4 meg RS Lines seats too, they were miles off fitting but are the same as the RS seats just in a different colour. If Ren made a MK5 RS they would have probably been these seats in there. They even have a little Renault Sport tags in yellow on the sides :D Just the...

Car is still doing the business on the daily commute. Decided to order up some mk5 RS (line) seats. They aren't a million miles off from fitting. My drivers seat is showing its age a little, 2015 and over 100k on them, these seats were from a 2023 car so should have some decent life left in...

I modified my f4rt back to the f4r gearbox bolt pattern.
