weComing back to previous page I realize that quiet a bit is missing....
well as an excuse… I would say that i had a difficult year where I fell of my bike at 75 M/h :dead: and shortly after i divorced :clap:
But to cut a long story short on my last track day in march 2012, my clutch scattered and my Quaife died (he was locking randomly or not locking also randomly) making the car un-drivable….
In the good news side
I have a sexy girlfriend, my bike was repaired and sold,
The clio after beign more than a year with the engine in one corner of the workshop the gearbox in an other and the car outside…. Is finally back together and running…
With again a bit of upgrade ….
Clutch kit was replaced with stage 2 black diamond clutch kit (Kevlar bits )
Quaife was upgraded to 2012 spec done free by Quaife
Using 100% Renault part I have built a short gear ratio gear box….. Not to be confused with a short final ratio….
Top speed at 7000 is 127 M/H
Very short 1st, original 2nd , short 3/4/5…. The result is almost no differences between gears… turning the car into a very, very efficient machine…
I have replaced my front A frame with brand new one originally made for clio V6.
And as you expect my cup racer set is is on and working.
After all I’m using Renault safrane upright, hub and bearing from a laguna 1, bottom mount of the Billstein cup racer shock to match the upright…. Very specific driveshaft….
Right side drive shaft from a laguna 1 mk2 2.0l(f4r)
Left side drive shaft from a laguna 1 mk1 2.2D
Any other set up won’t work… and I have tried many…..
Replaced my front spring for 8kg and replaced the whole rear set up with a set of spax coilover sold on the trader section.
How can I say…… the result is incredible of efficiency. …. Using street tires I feel that I have slicks on…. Crazy :hail:
When I had time to be bored I have swapped a V6 in a Laguna 1 estate as well as more recently a Meganne 3 250 engine in my everyday Laguna 2…
I will find some photos for you now
