    KTR Clio RS 3rd and 4th gear synchro kit

    I’ve got a pair of synchros for the TL4 in stock. They were brass in the 197, then redesigned to be steel for the 200. Renault then realised that the steel ones were just as s**t, so went back to brass.

    Renault 5 sleeper - F4R on ITB’s

    10lb of s**t in a 1lb bag = goes like a stabbed rat! 😂😂 You got a lightweight flywheel fitted as well bacon? I can’t remember now if you do or not.

    JC5 large diff bearing.

    Yeah seen he’s got stock of the Spanish made diff bearing.

    Engine machining

    Chesman Engineering in Coventry is bang on the money for the machining. Not sure if they do porting as well, but worth an ask.

    Evo Corse X3MA 15's - Anyone fitted?

    Wheels are a very personal choice as well mate, so what works for some, doesn’t do it for others.

    Evo Corse X3MA 15's - Anyone fitted?

    @Advikaz never rated mine on 15’s personally. I think they’re overrated! 15’s 16” superleggeras were where it was at for me!

    Billet jc5 selector forks.

    This is the reason why they’ve been fitted into a test gearbox mate. They will be inspected regularly so I can measure/monitor any wear going on. If they don’t work, I’m personally not prepared to try and introduce bronze bushings into the design as it will only weaken the fork. Jc5 forks don’t...

    Nope.

    Clio 182 - Oil leak under engine - Common Areas?

    It is, but f**king how much?! Jesus! That’s daylight robbery mate.

    Clio 182 - Oil leak under engine - Common Areas?

    Tbh any decent gearbox place could sort it. 👍🏻

    Clio 182 - Oil leak under engine - Common Areas?

    It’s a strip down job to do the bushes and seal properly. End of. No other way. The seal they’ve fitted needs to be all the way in the box as well. I’d imagine it’s standing proud and not letting the box select reverse. Reverse gear is selected by pushing the lever all the way into the box and...

    Billet jc5 selector forks.

    Good question! The original forks for 1st/2nd and 3rd/4th are made from sintered bronze. The fork for 5th is made from cast aluminium and has nylon fingers on the end of where it sits in the selector hub - similar to the setup on the fork for 1st/2nd. With it being the fork under the least...

    awful engine whine noise

    That could be a multitude of things mate ranging from the power steering pump, the alternator or the water pump. Personally I don’t think it’s the water pump as they make more of a metallic noise. Check your power steering fluid level and see if it looks burnt. After that, you need to drop...

    West Midlands.

    Billet jc5 selector forks.

    No but @Tom Johnson is - aka fulcrum motorsport. These forks are a collaboration between me and him.

    Billet jc5 selector forks.

    Which synchros are you after?

    Billet jc5 selector forks.

    Yeah. I’ll pm you now 😘

    Just my pants over the top of my jeans. 😂😂

    Billet jc5 selector forks.

    Cliosport.net exclusive here folks. Billet forks are here with me and I’ve installed them in a test gearbox to make sure they’re ok. The fit is like a glove, and the quality is bang on. And it’s safe to say, they look the part as well! Next step is to put them in the development gearbox and...

    JC5 large diff bearing.

    They’re new production bearings mate. Hmm not sure until you’ve seen the Chinese bearings and then ran them to see what the quality is like.

    JC5 large diff bearing.

    Good news. I’ve sourced replacement large diff bearings. Downside is they’re £170, but should be able to get them cheaper if bought in bulk. 👍🏻

    Billet jc5 selector forks.

    As most of you will all know, I’ve probably stripped and rebuilt more jc5 boxes than I’ve had wanks (lots of!). So thanks to Renault stopping making the selector forks for 1st/2nd gear and 3rd/4th becoming increasingly harder to get hold of, it pretty much spells the end of the line for jc5...

    Restoring Little Bluey - my 182 FF ClioSport in Racing Blue

    Fair play for giving it a go mate at least. A lot of the time the generic code readers can lead you up the garden path tbh. You will never beat product knowledge and the correct diagnostic software specific to the product either. And even then, it’s the product knowledge that gets you out the...

    E36 3.0 ITB Race Build

    I know that corner very well mate. I’ve had an off in pretty much the exact same spot, only difference being I was on 2 wheels and around 10/15mph faster when I entered the arena. And yes, it f**king hurt. 😂😂

    Blackline Helical LSD - ph1 gearbox

    It would mate yeah. I’d go blackline simply because it’s cheaper.

    Blackline Helical LSD - ph1 gearbox

    Yes to all. Its a quaife rip off mate.

    Painting carbon panels

    In fact @1985michael182 is a bodyshop pervert! He would be best placed to answer this.

    Painting carbon panels

    They’ll need prep either way mate, so if they’re already in 2k lacquer, in theory they should take less prep. Depends how pinholed the finish is to start with.

    Leaky selector shaft seal? Look in here.

    Very unlikely mate as you need special pullers to remove some of the gears.

    SPAX Krypton RSX threaded insert

    I know a man who could remove them and make you some new ones that are substantially stronger.
