Not posted any pics of the sunflower since I bought her earlier this year. Alot of work gone into her getting her running right and tidying her up. Still lots of work to do yet, considered selling up but not made my mind up yet.
Comments welcome guys... enjoy.

I took this vid back in the summer of 2007 at a Renault Sport day, after blagging Ali he kindly gave me a ride... thanks Ali!:D

I have some very strange electrical issues with my 172, I hope someone can cast some light on it.:dapprove:
A couple of weeks ago I parked up after a short journey, pulled the key out of the ignition and the oil pressure warning light started flickering, then other lights on my dash started...
The oil temp and oil level gauge sensors had to be removed in order to make way for the Turbo oil feed and return on my turbo valver.
I only have the oil pressure gauge working now and would like to get the temp gauge working as thats pretty important on a turbo track car.
I am aware that...
Hi,
Been tinkering with my new toy, the turbo valver and i'm pretty satisfied with the way she is running.
Referring to the below RR results, what results could I expect by winding the boost up to 10 PSI? (bearing in mind she's running 9:1:1 compression, with dished standard pistons).
Will I...
Hi,
lm just just looking at suspension options for my valver, I will be using it for fast road and track. Prob do about 4-5 track days a year so not too many.
Not that keen on coil overs as there quite pricey and you have to spend alot of money to see an improvement over standard.

Is this a good price?

Ok you might think this sounds a bit strange but hear me out..
I am currently running sportline springs and I just bought some koni adjustable dampers which come with apex springs.
I'm happy with the ride height at the front but the rear is still to high.
My question is do you think I can...
Hi,
I have sportline Eibach springs and I do the occasional track days wth which I have found that the sportlines springs just about cope with.
I know that Koni dampers cost about £400 so bit cheaper than coilovers.
Will the koni dampers improve handling much? And also will the dampers...
Can someone give me a guide to changing fluid on a clio sport using the Halfords 'one man kit'. I believe there is no guide in the guide section for this. I intend to make one when I do mine.
I have changed the pads and disc's but have no idea how to do the fluid.
I also want to up rate the...

I have a ph1 172 year 2000 with 39k on the clock.
I know people say that you should change the plugs at 72K but is there also a time limit on this such as every 5 years?
Also is it a good idea to replace the ignition leads? Can't really see how these deteriate, i'll prob clean the...

Thanks in advance:)
Hello,
Never attempted anyhing like this before, although i have done other things like servicing and brake pad change, so i'd like to have a go at fitting this my self, not least because my GF bought me some nice new tools.
Any who, i'd like some advice/ guide on how to fit them.
