Anybody here got pull...

[Eddd]

With Renaultsport? I am having a hard time getting any information from them at all!

What are you trying to find out?

 

[Eddd]

Just looking for a listing of the Grp N bits and bobs. Motor mounts, Suspension bits, ECU etc.

The car is going in for a timing belt and I thought that now is a good time to upgrade...

Ed

 

[T.Ferrino]

Is your car on the original mounts? what condition are they in?

 

[Eddd]

Yes the mounts are original. They seem okay on the street but at the ring it jumps out of 3rd gear in the Karrousel and 4th or 5th at the jump at Pflantzgarten I. A bit disconcerting that...

They are never very helpful even to those in the company.

They wont bother responding really if they dont have the parts, are you even sure if they still make them as none of the MK1s are in competition anymore.

 

[Eddd]

BenR,

I just heard back from them. The Grp N Clio is available. they call it something like the ClioRSRagnotti. I think it is about €29,000.

There is also a catalogue for the Williams Grp N bits: ref. 77 11 126 639 and the price is 22,87euro. Im ordering it.

The Jean Ragnotti is the same this as a clio cup.

 

[Eddd]

Ben,

I am familiar with the Jean Ragnotti. I think youll find that the RS Ragnottis is a GP N prepared version. I cant open the file though. Damn!

 

[Eddd]

Ben,

Have you got Excel? If so Ill email you the file.

Ed

 

[BenR]

thats waht i was asking, ive only seen pics of it, not inside, jsut fromt eh paris motor show.

there should be a ? on my last post lol....doh.

what sort of level is the preparation? apart from GrpN, has it got anything worth mentioning?

 

[BenR]

yup, have execl.....ta mate

 

[Eddd]

Ben,

Yes, the Ragnotti is the same as the Cup. Well the steering wheel is on the other side but identical in every way.

What Im talking about is what appears to be the "RS" version of the Ragnotti/Cup I would imagine it to be just a Group N kitted car.

It could have the answers to a lot of questions about the motorsport pieces for the Cup like seats and cages etc....

Trouble is I cant read the file as I havent got Excel on my computer here. If you have, Ill send you the file. I cant wait until tomorrow to see what the hell it is all about as it has taken two months to get this information from them!

Its driving me nuts!

Ed

 

[paddymph]

BORROW excel from kazaa

 

[BenR]

lol....yea, send it over then.....email is in my profile.

Renault names are confusing, as here is the clio 172 or cup, in HK its he clio RS (172) and the cup is called the RSCUP, you got the ragnotti and the RS ragnotti.....lol....

 

[Eddd]

Hmmm, that is an idea! Never dealt with them before. Is it tricky?

 

[BenR]

kazaa....nah its easy...

but ti gets annoying when others start downloading off you and you get slow....so turn it off when your not using it....

 

[Eddd]

Did the Kazaa thing. Got excel but couldnt run it. It is looking for a DLL.

I havent a clue where to find that and kazaa doesnt seem to either...

 

[Eddd]

Well Ive finally opened the Excel file from Dieppe. Trouble is it didnt have much information about the kits and various parts. Pain in the arse. I ordered the parts catalogues for both the Clio RS Ragnotti and the Williams.

Maybe then Ill be able to shed a little more light on the subject.

The Clio RS Ragnotti catalogue is apparently new this month. I would imagine that the UK boys should have a copy by now though.

There are two suspensions available on the RSRagnotti, Bilstien and Ohlins.
