Lol at 9 sets of F1s, car certainly moves chip. You said something about 170mph above, have you actually taken this as fast as it will go?

I had it round to about 165 ish on the old engine. Not been above 150 on the new one yet though but at 150 its still pulling like a train, I've just not felt the need to do anymore yet.
all speeds done on track and not whilst racing timr26 on the m3 or anything else that might be wrongly said by me after a few beers.

Very impressive!

Lol Chip, whoosh, car gone. I like it.
Even if I don't like turbo's.

Suspension in that video:
front: gaz gha, camber bolts, toe set by eye in the pits with no gauges by me and danlp6 after I had to raise the front to clear the tyres
rear: Apex springs, h and r shocks.
Diff: quaiffe atb
tyres: used pilot sport cups
driver: old, fat, minimal levels of talent.
Brakes: kind of.
I'm saving that for the rain light you promised to give a love tap to(rear bumper)
LOL!
25mm up front is fine, 5mm more should be alright I'd guess. Would look epic with those brakes up front

lots of clios.
Yeah Diff and paddle clutch is next on the list hopefully. Where did you get yours from? Better off to try source a used one?

Is there any down sides to just running the clutch plate on a standard valeo pressure plate? Wear a bit quicker?
And lucky you! diff's new are circa 1100? And as comical as it may sound, I'm trying to stick to a tightish budget, So i think a used one is what I'll need to be after. Anything to check for wear wise on buying used?
Downside to standard cover is it can't handle as much torque.
4 paddle can cope with more torque than 6 but won't last as long, so cheapest option is 4 paddle and standard cover, just accept it won't be very long till its off again.
Quaiffes don't really wear much, you'd struggle to find any evidence tbh.
Can put you in contact with the guy I get my discount through. He'll probably do you 15-20 percent off.

I would want to stay under 300lbft if using the standard cover, and I would go for a 4 paddle instead of 6 even to get that much.
My old engine on 2 bar was probably making similar torque to my current one, and that was slightly slipping the 4 paddle on standard cover (all be it now fairly worn as it had been in a while) a 6 paddle would slip even sooner.

What work is required to fit a diff and what would cost to get a diff fitted to a gearbox?
Fancy getting a diff this year and a budget figure would be good.
Not sure yet how practical its going to be to make the brackets to sit the calipers where I need them to in order to match the disks, as the lugs are in quite an awkward place relative to the clio lugs on the hub, could really do with the disk being 10mm more offset, but I suspect I will struggle to find one that does that unless I go for completely custom bells and even then im not sure it would be ideal.
Will have to have a bit more of a measure up when I have some free time.

You need to get the diff crown wheel machined off the renault diff and fitted to the quaiffe, included in the purchase price if you buy a quaiffe new.
For a gripper you have to buy an adaptor bracket to fit the crownwheel to.
Fitting to the box is just about a DIY task but best done as part of a gearbox rebuild really, few hundred quid at Agency.
Done a bit more measuring on the brakes, and there just isnt quite enough clearance even with a 30mm spacer to allow the disk to miss the hub brake mounting lugs and the wheel to miss the caliper.
Have ordered a set of scenic 300mm disks, as I reckon those might be a bit better fitment, bit annoying have to shell out just on the off chance, but worth a go, and it looks promising based on some measurements I have taken versus the standard disk (which is identical dimensions to the scenic ones other than being 10mm smaller radius)

Ah right, Well I'll probably Hold out and go for 6 paddle + Helix cover. Not too sure what torque I've got as the cars yet to be RR'd. And if you could fire me his number to get an idea on how much it will cost to get new over used if he can sort me some kind of discount. Will be later on in the year though as the bank acount is still cooling down! lol. Car is also still a daily so a gripper and 4 paddle might be a bit too hardcore!
Yeah thats alot more than I'm running. I've not had it RR'd But I'm hoping to be around the 240 area. What is the volvo cover? Any more details on that?
Sounds a good way to do it on a budget then. Although I must confess for the sake of a couple hundred extra I'd sooner just use something I know works as if you go for something that ends up slipping its money wasted as it will wreck both parts and potentially the flywheel.
Yeah its just a case of if you are going to increase the power later on, if so an extra couple of hundred quid is cheap insurance against clutch issues.
I think you should leave this with me when you move.
