When will the thermostat ever close while running?

It's mechanical proportional control. So it will sit just a little open to keep you just at the right temperature. I can't see the benefits of ditching as I don't think they are a major reliability weakness. When they go, they always always fail open (excess cooling), it's fail-safe design.

Anyways, just had another flick through the project, really good stuff. I'd love to do something race-orientated myself. keep it up

 

[Tony Hunter]

Wow thats a busy race calendar!

Hopefully I'll be able to go to quite a few of them too as your official photographer!

And would the ring be using the north or south loop?

We will be missing a few of those next year due to baby's arriving and pre booked holidays.

Spa and the Ring due to cost IR.

All this will be checked with mapping on RR,if its not right then it will be changed simple as that.

No worries, just let me know which ones you're going to and I'll do my best to come along

 

[Jay Payne]

Look what you have all done!

Monthly bandwidth exceeded for Photobucket. No more pics till the end of the month

 

[Djw John]

Go Pro and write it down as a project cost!

 

[Jay Payne]

thinking about it. got to sort out some web hosting too, not happy with what we currently have

 

[Clart]

next week, lets get some decent image hosting....

 

[sideways danny]

I agree on the thermostat you need one, it'll struggle to get up to running temperature if you dont use it

 

[Mark One]

must resist 'i-told-you-so' moment of smugness.

 

[Jay Payne]

was advised to do it by a very well known tuning company who have experiance of Renaultsport Clio's.

no need to be funny about it.

 

[.GAZ.]

Cant see any pics fella!

 

[Bluebeard]

[JR]

Dan; dont make it go faster or more reliable so no


Jord; How?

[Bluebeard]

I was joking about the turini's btw. Dumbass.

 

[Nafoff]

[JON13S]

nice one dude.

 

[Adamio]

Congratulations on the license, i might try and pop along to Brands with my camera if you're there next year

 

[Steviant]

Just spent the last hour reading this thread. Sounds amazing. Can't wait to see all the pics though. Will be good to see the ol' boy out racing again next year.

Congrats on passing ur ards, and good luck for next year.

 

[maynard]

well done on gaining the license!

 

[Jay Payne]

Thanks chaps

Congrats! So apart from the car you're ready to race?

Need to send of the form (now its complete) to get the licence then buy some safety gear (not cheep)

 

[ado]

Congrats on the license. Did you find it quite simple?

The saftey gear costs as much as the car. lol

 

[Jay Payne]

Yea the test is really straight forward but costs a fortune. Problem was id never driven Brands before or driven a 230 Megane, it was damp and greasy and the other cars on track were Radicals and Caterhams. Everytime I looked in my mirrors there was a car there.

I just wanted to get through it so just concentrated on being smooth and getting the lines right (I was driving quite slow) the last thing I wanted was to spin, go off or run wide over the kerbs, instant fail!

As we were coming back down the pitlane the instructor said that I was safe but really, really needed to work on my speed. I was driving Miss Daisy. But I got through it and thats the main thing.

 

[RichCup]

Congrats on passing mate! Is the license a one off thing or does it need to be 'renewed' every so often? Can't wait for more progress!

 

[ado]

I was hoping they got rid of the R26 and you could use the M3's.lol As long as you passed it doesn't matter. I guess they don't exactly require you to go fast but look for safe driving instead.

Have you got the details for who rebuilt your box? Mine may need new bearings so may aswell do it now.

test is a one off thing but licence needs renewing every year

 

[JR]

Congratulations on the ARDS mate, Tony i was joking about the cup splitter although im not sure it was perceived that way.

You have both made such a massive amount of progress its almost unbelievable.

I wish you both the best of luck for your upcoming first year in this series.

Look forward to having a look when its all done chaps.
