Just need to load up the car with a few emergency spares and get going. On the dyno this afternoon (y) looking forward to seeing how it performs, drives well pre map, partial throttle spool up seems a lot more eager.

Id be hyped passing 310bhp on EFI's dyno tbh. 250 to 260ftlb at 6500 would be decent with the usual table top torque delivery. Im half expecting to need a clutch quite soon after this latest revision....

booked in for a map tweak on the 26th

Have finished of the actuator this morning wasnt too hard after a little parts bin raid, tried to set it to start cracking around 6/7psi. Smoke tested with a tiny wisp noted from the map sensor so will get a new o-ring sorted. Did a brief test drive, could be a placebo but, it feels like its...

So yeah, as I thought the 300 turbo will fit the 280 rear housing. Renault have kept it simple. As in the video, Ive swapped loads of bits over and have it running. Just need to finish off the actuator setup and pipework and ill book in for a map tweak. Seems like a chunk of work for not much...

Failing TCU. Usually worse with high ambient temps

Even if I cant do the core swap I should be able to do the whole thing, just a pain taking the rear off the manifold

So on Sunday I managed to bag a Megane 4 RS 300 Turbo on ebay @DaveL485 was up near where it was and kindly picked it up for me. Today he was flying past my work on a trip and being the legend he is, swung by and dropped off the turbo. I've wasted no time in separating it and taking some...

Bet them wheels scrub like a mofo. Odd one, base spec bumpers and spoiler but with 5 stud wheels but flappy paddles

One of my wiper C clips has been missing since I can remember. Assuming the wiper has seized at some point and it was lost. Replaced that and added wiper bolt covers that I picked up on the last RPD order. Little touch and you cant even see them with the bonnet closed…😂 need to 2 side window...

Not sure why I don't stop though..... I have an M4RS 300 turbo on its way to me now

been sat with this written up for a while now....... any one else just get the itch to try something else? 2015 Renault Clio 200 EDC Cup – 300bhp – £8,999 I've decided to put my Clio up for sale I've owned it for around 3½ years and it's been my daily throughout that time, covering around...

this ones just popped up on my fb https://www.facebook.com/share/1EACfpiHW7/

got bored.... its plasti dip so can be removed. I saw it on some old racecars, i think its actually from having a crash and a spare panel thrown on, but I like the contrast

Made a start on modifying the Weber manifold so I can use the adapters to fit it to the later head. Wasn't too much bother to do. Made up some gaskets too. Will give a light smear of sealant, let them set then blend some of the internal surfaces. Need to get the manifold looked at to see if it...

New head is here ready for a strip down, clean up and skim for the 8. I will hopefully get this done in tandem with fitting a sidedraft 45 DCOE. If I can crack 115bhp ill be really happy with it. I haven't documented much recently so will start some fresh videos soon.

what an awesome line up of ph1's it was too! Which one was yours?

Went to another show this weekend, really putting the miles in (that has hurt it a little but ill touch on that shortly) Retro Rides Gathering is a staple show for me. Head there every year if I can, really my type of people there. Similar to Rollhard though a little less upmarket, and a lot...

So the Rollhard official video dropped, and the R8 makes an appearance which is pretty cool

I've still not gotten around to trying my reprogrammed china tcu. The capacitor replacement didn't work for me. I'm still running my 2017 trophy TCU.

Haven't actually updated this, slapped in some spare plugs after the above misfire, found plugs that definitely looked like they had gotten too hot. I do tend to beat on this setup not only on the road but on the track too. Id not pulled them for a while for an inspection. Anyway, this weekend...

Took the 8 out for the weekend (wife came along also) I had tickets to a show called Rollhard held at Bicester heritage. 170 mile round trip so made a weekend of it. First place on the way was caffeine and machine for a pit stop and lunch, then headed toward Bicester for a night in a hotel with...

Got some more bits for it

Went for a little run out towards the Malvern's today to a little pub that was having a car meet, great spread of cars, decent for drink and some live music. Car behaved faultlessly (y) Should be heading over to Bicester heritage in it next Sunday if anyone else going to be there.

Shouldn't have to be that annoying chasing customer just to get parts, its not a one off anymore Its par for the course. Cancel and buy from elsewhere (y) so many people are have had issues over the last few years.
