@FrogJam Motorsport be interesting to see what you make of the ABS unit. I have been researching the Renault ABS units wiring to see about putting ABS back into my ph1 with a pedalbox. From the research I’ve done so far it looks like it will work without the Renault UCH & ECU

You won’t miss the high revs of the K20, I made the switch from K20 to K24 frank in my PH1 172 and the extra torque and slight increase in peak power means you don’t miss the extra 1000 or so revs from the K20

Looking to see if anyone has or can direct me to a pin out for the ABS pump ECU plug. looking into the possibility of making it work minus all other Renault wiring.

@Jekyll where was the conversion kit from?

I have a set from autodoc, TYC are the manufacturer I’m sure. Decent quality and fit as they should

@Stu. Who painted it

This image shows the sump clearance with the engine mounted, early on i knew i wanted to make an engine and chassis loom but the decision on which ecu to go with took a while. I finally after speaking to numerous people, made the decision to go with ECU master. So loom was made to suit this...

As i had gone to the effort of making the shell, engine and gearbox pretty clean and replaced all the bolts or had the old ones stripped and plated. I couldn't have put the old crusty rear beam etc back on so i had the rest of the bolts stripped and plated. The rear beam and other components...

After some mechanical and wiring work on the Healey in the form of changing from dynamo to alternator and a few other modern improvements for European road trips. The Healey was put back in the garage until covid allowed a Euro trip! so it was back to the clio, first steps were to rebuild the...

Christ i forgot I had this thread! Safe to say it is well out of date. after years of reliable track and road miles, in winter 2019 i decided I fancied a change or rather hangs if engine. So the F4R was removed and sold, next up……..K20 of course! base engine was purchased from stuart...

@Greeny. i cancelled my order for 2 sets as they told me, at the very earliest they “might” make it to the production line end of February but most likely later. I’d rather pay a bit more than wait tbh.

@Greeny. They have always been 2 separate companies, but rimstock made wheels branded team dynamics. Now after rimstock was bought over, Team dynamics have brought out there own “pro race” wheel! All very confusing. Rimstock suggested legal action is afoot, but who knows.

i would presume he means after it’s been painted/powdercoated (although best practice would have been to mask it off before coating). The mating faces between beam and stub axle should be metal to metal. With no paint/powdercoat on these surfaces.

I was in the same boat as you. It seems from speaking to rimstock, they make the old pro race 1.2’s (or claim they are in production at least). Yet team dynamics are who make the new pro race LT wheel. so 2 separate companies.

tubular front cross member makes engine removal so much easier. That’s what I have done, all be it I have a tubular subframe with no bar across the front so also have an engine cradle that allows me to wheel the engine in and out with front cross member removed.

What shifter cables you going to use? My HR shifter is set a fair bit further back than yours and I’ve struggled finding cables the correct length

Dave at SOS in falkik would get my vote.

I can’t see why not, I’ve ran a 400+ bhp car with AN6 lines before with no issues. All be it not a Clio

Ah I see, so you need to use the thread on fitting, rather than the push on version they sell!

@AdDaMan I tried one version they had and it doesn’t locate properly on the renault fittings. it seemed the locating ring that is moulded into the renault pipes doesn’t go into the torques fitting far enough for the adapter to actually click into place

I’m sure someone has used these before but I can’t seem to find it. I am converting to AN hardline and braided line for the fuel system. so require an adapter that connects to the fuel tank connection and converts to AN fittings. anyone had success with finding one that fits the renault fuel...

@Chambers_RS you going to tackle making the engine loom etc yourself?

I have a pair of brackets i dont need. They have been powdercoated orange, PM me if they are any use to you

Those are all already taken care of, AP’s, semi slicks and full coilovers already fitted.

No, although the bushes do provide a fair bit of resistance to the beam moving vertically. For some reason i feel the PMS kit would allow the beam to alot more freely in vertically, not convinced the beam should be as stiff to move as it is with the powerflex bushes.

Currently refurbing a rear beam and have considered changing from powerflex black series bushes to the PMS bearing kit. Anyone any experience with the PMS kit who could give a review or there experience with it?

I'm sure he had something to do with running/owning "Lookers" car dealerships

what a thread to find, some great tools in here. I’m now looking to replace some tools at work, impact driver, Combi drill, grinder, jigsaw and a few other bits. any recommendations as to a one stop shop for all, save multiple orders.

I had the NLC kit on my car before changing the whole suspension set up. I used them for 4+ years smashing them over kerbs and never have a single issue other than changing out the bearings periodically

Why not just use the Clio dash/clocks in the laguna and make a separate loom for the ancillaries?
