nahh not lunar gray! i love the colour but that will be 3 valvers i know of on here that will be a shade of gray lol
alien green.... not sure it would suit the mk1 tbh though it is a nice colour. i LOVE the colour of that imperial blue valver, but that would be copying lol. errrm, i love black valvers, dont see too many about but could be abit boring.. i like yellow but then thats been done too, even though i havnt seen anything of that for a while.. could be an option!
thats if your even getting it sprayed, and IMO of course lol

Went to a meet at RSTuning in Leeds yesterday for a run on their rolling road. My upper gearbox mount that bolts through the battery tray managed to snap clean in two on the way there so I was a little reluctant to run it, but went ahead anyway.
RSTuning are known for being accurate rather than inflating figures for good pub talk, so I'm pretty pleased with what I came out with. It's a standard Ph1 172 engine with exhaust/filter and no PAS/AC etc. Not touched the inlets and it's on the standard map.
172bhp and 162lbft
Flywheel torque/power
Wheel power and AFR

There's no saying whether the figures are completely accurate or not, but there must have been atleast 30 1*2's run on the day and I'm happy that mine made better power and torque than most, especially given it's a completely standard engine. Some were making as little as 150bhp, and very few made close to 180 (even the 182's). Gray's was the exception making 187, incidentally he's ditched the aircon on his Ph1 too and made 164lbft.
I've known since it's been in the car that it's driven well, but I've not really had a benchmark to go against. Now it's been proven it's a good runner and the numbers on the day were strong.
Plans - fit new suspension when it turns up, this'll more than likely be while its off the road for the winter now as I only have 2x Oulton Park on the 13th and 17th left. Engine wise, I'll DIY the inlets to gasket line and maybe consider an RSTuner map, but nothing more. I can't warrant spending daft money on cams or ITB's, so I'll just enjoy it as it is. It's plenty lively enough already
I booked the Easytrack deal for next year for 5 trackdays. Those combined with Renaultsport's and possibly a couple of Marhams should see me pretty busy next year.

There was a rr day at our local rr last year, and a guy tyrned up in a 172 which he had spent £5000 on the engine, and had been telling everyone how its 220bhp and eats evo's etc and i just thought 'n*b'...,then it went on the rollers and made 167bhp at the fly...,he just got in his car and drove off without a word...,there may have been a few chuckles in his absence.
On the way to RSTuning on Saturday the car popped out of gear unexpectedly. I thought nothing of it then noticed this when I took the bonnet off when I got there.
It's the top gearbox mount. It bolts to the gearbox then the thread comes up through the battery tray and into a rubber mount. I've managed to snap the thread clean off, nice. Must be the brutal amounts of F4R torque :S
Took the car to bits again

From the other thread I posted in Clio Media...
Had a good day yesterday despite the weather trying it's best to make things interesting! We had a dry spell towards lunch time but it wasn't long enough for the track to dry out much, so it stayed pretty damp and slippery for the whole day. Superb track though, really enjoyed it and I'm back there again on Tuesday for the Renaultsport Trackday
My car's a 172 engined Mk1 16v for those that don't know.
Some pitlane pictures:
And Video's:

Great driving!
Looks like a fun day out in the wet!

Last Tuesday saw another successful day at Oulton Park on the Renaultsport Trackday. Aswell as driving my own car, I managed to get a few laps out in the yet to be released Megane 250 Cup which was a treat. Lovely car and alot nicer in the flesh than photo's would have you believe.
I racked up 180 track miles on the day which is going some and I didnt encounter a single problem all day. With it being damp for the majority of the day, I was able to have slightly longer sessions out on track than usual seeing as the tyres wouldn't be overheating. I must have been out for near 45 minutes in the afternoon and it was superb. Oil temperature didn't once creep above 100 degrees either.
So in less than a week I've done 2 x Oulton Park Trackdays and somewhere in the region of 1000 miles
A few pictures and videos from the day:
And my favourite (even if a little static looking...), check the tripod action
Videos:
A dry-ish session following f0xy. I had Jams in the car with me and f0xy had Naith as a passenger

A wet session with a friend of Andyrg in the passenger seat. Have a look at 6.38 onwards for my biggest 'nearly' moment of the day

And then a shorter one showing Mr SteBurns some Mk1 pace in his 197

So that was that. I have plenty more video footage to sort through if I get the chance, but they're the only 3 for now.
Now that's me done for the year. My plan all along has been to take it off the road at the end of the month, get a refund on Tax and have a winter rebuild in preparation for next year. This has been sped up slightly as Jamie Rigby (with the Fiesta) has collected my seats this morning, leaving me with no option but to park it up.

Sparco Circuit VTR's, brilliant seats but I fancy a change. Keep an eye out for them in Jamies project thread:

Rattle canned white, I wouldnt recommend it. After a year of having wheels and bits in the back it looks crap.
I think I'll re-do it over the winter with a compressor and either go body colour or a graphite sort of colour.
If anyone finds any nice looking seats for sale then let me know
