@Nathan Evans what's happened to the giant killing blue blur. I've seen it for sale, any movement on it this far? Be great to see you in the next spec up, especially shorter small single venues. Also When you looking at 1st event? Anything in the pipeline yet?

Sorry shouldn't clarified I did have standard cup shocks and eibach springs. Tyre wise I have 15 inch ozf1 with r888, standard but brand new front calipers with drilled and grooved discs.

After some advice on what is best for some track use. At present I have PMS top mounts and strut brace along with full progoex black series bushes but unsure as to what suspension setup would be best. And decent coilovers or springs people have used? Budget isn't massive just after some...

I've installed a full new battery circuit in my track car mate. Battery relocated to the rear, runs through a 175amp mega fuse, then into FIA electrical cut off. From there onto longacre bulkhead connector. I'm in the process of modifying my loom both parts, removed the old battery alternator...

Gents I am after some advice, Timing up the engine and the inlet cam seems to want to look on the horseshoe all the time. Last time I did it I recall I didn't seem to have this much an issue. I've tried putting a feeler gauge in there but the inlet cam still springs back on the horseshoe, and...

The way you drive I can see some giant killing results in this little pocket rocket

I don't suppose you could remember what guage / size wire you used for the alternator/starter circuit. I have cut mine out as it's in a bad way and looking at replacing something similar to your idea. Struggling to find the size of I am honest.

I'm going to make a new cable going from the battery to alternator, starter motor. I did not take the size of each before rushing to work this morning. Anyone able to confirm the size for me please?

In awe at the workmanship throughout this build. Lockdown has had it perks, mainly reading through your thread. Firstly massive kudos on the build, the racing season, and the new business adventure your embarking on. Would I be able to pick your brains on a few of the electrical issues on...

good progress mate, this is something I am looking to do. I don't suppose you have the diagrams ? would be very much appreciated and save me from purchasing a 3rd loom lol

if your a member theres a good guide, in the guides part of the forum. Really in depth and should cover everything you need

I assume you mean look the camshafts in place using the horseshoe tool

having some dramas with the timing of the engine. all parts and tools genuine Renault and have done this timing belt 4 times before without any issues. I have currently rebuilt the track car engine, and having dramas setting the camshafts. The inlet seems to spring back, and the timing tool...

How much polycarb did you get mate. I'm going to do the same.

@Coops Mk1 any Ideas where I can just the bolts and cam stud

Gents I am after some advice regarding 197 cams. I have installed them fitted new cam seals also, however I need to know if the exhaust cam dowel and dephaser retaining bolt are all the same as 172 before I purchase them. Thanks in advance

Gents hit a bit of a problem. I have bought a genuine dephaser and cam seal kit however the bolt that's meant to hold the dephaser into the cam is too small in diameter. I've never seen this before. Anyone able to shine some light on the issue

yeah pal new seals are on

@JamesBryan cheers pal done a few before but couldn't remember

doing the timing tomorrows gents and cant remember if there is a spacer that goes behind the dephaser pulley as it looks like it has contact with the cam seal??

that tom wood gets about mind you. and Nathan you need a Millington, the way you drive lol

Cheers pal I'll check tomorrow

Gents good afternoon. I am currently rebuilding the engine and have a drama with the sump gasket. I have been sent one that does not fit. Are there differences between the 172/182 versions.

gents after some advice really. I have a proline brake line kit, however they weep at the joints. So hence I have been unable to complete the full bleeding process. Just a generic question revolving how tight they need to be. Im guessing its as easy as just nipping them up tighter, but im...

Gwbts anyone know where I can get a hold of some cylinder head dowels. Or even the size of them?? Thanks in advance

and lastly but not least was turning my attention to the front hubs. These looked in a sorry state when I took them off the car, so invested in a 12 tonne bench press and got the old ones pressed out, well if only that easy. bearing exploded upon touching them and had to weld a bead around...

that's about as far as I got with the engine up until now. some rally p**n on the back wall for motivation. few more things I need to do to the cylinder head before fitting the head gasket and bolting them together. But the majority of the work is done there new stem seals, lapped valves in...

over the last few nights I have been paying attention tot he bottom end, I have had the block pressure washed and blown dry. I was looking into getting it honed but I cant help but notice it being in very good nick indeed. So I popped to the local machine shop to get the crank picked up, all...
