Rally clio + pics

[Baal]

Hi, i totaled my last rally car and i bought an used N3 rally clio, its amazingly fast, even if the acceleration is almost the same as my last car this car has endless grip.

I didnt like the loosiness of the shifting linkage, probably due to worn out bushings so any of you know where i can get stiffer aftermaket shifting bushings?

and maybe some motor mount inserts because the clio is quite frail on gravel.

The price is unfortunately dictated by the cost of the parts from RenaultSport as they are RenaultSport items, not "Renault".

We get a lot of people "asking" for them, but when the costs are mentioned, very few people are prepared to pay the money for them. This means that we aren't prepared to invest money in developing the part ourselves, and hence the price is ridiculous. We have spend money developing our own parts in the past to meet "demand" and all the "demand" suddenly disappears when cash is requested or the parts are available to purchase...

will those mounts fit a standard engine in a standard car? Like for like?

 

[y0z2a]

Yes.

I have taken some photos earlier, so will post them up later.

I like the way you improved it then. They should all be modified like that. :rasp:

Nice Clio. Sorry I can't help with your technical questions.

Do you mean gearbox mounts?

will those mounts fit a standard engine in a standard car? Like for like?

http://y0z2a.blogspot.com/2008/01/blog-post.html

Yup - fit on a standard car. Group N - We have all the individual components & the complete packages for the PH1, Ragnotti, PH2 (both 172 & 182 With aircon)

Oh - and Baal - if you just uprate your dogbone mount (subframe - gearbox) it will destroy all the other engine mounts in about 50 miles of hard track use - I think you will find that they will last even less given what you are doing with the car, so I would be cautious about just uprating the gearbox stabiliser and mounts. If you do the one on top of the gearbox you will also have to strengthen the battery plate as it basically shakes it off the car.

Yes.

[fmp_]

cheers Yoz.

have you fitted any yet? noticed the difference?

sorry for the thread hijack by the way!

 

[y0z2a]

not yet, but the bushes are noticably different.

I have more pictures which will be on the website shortly as well as individual parts available to purchase - IE - Gearbox mount, Front Subframe & Box Mount, Dogbone... but it is all taking time with updating the website & everything else - I will try and do it tonight / tomorrow.

[Baal]

No i dont mean the mounts, my mounts are reinforced already.

I mean the shift linkage bushings, currently shifting feels unprecise, i miss shifts and it has some play, i want to either get some aftermarket harder bushings or to fabricate my own.

kinda like these ones for the evo

 

[y0z2a]

you are probably best machining them up yourself as there aren't any that I know of off the shelf.

FPMSL! hero.

 

[Baal]

FPMSL... i guess Yoz2a is the owner of yozzasport

and yeah i will machine my own bushings, probably in aluminium because the feel of the gearbox totally blows, is it a common problem with the clios?

i took a few more pictures:

 

[caeteez]

Someones stuck the steering wheel on the wrong side!

 

[steven.m]

Car is mint.

 

[y0z2a]

Its still got aircon?

nice...

have you any idea how heavy that lot is - you could have left the whole of your interior in and just swapped the aircon compressor & got the same weight loss.

;-)

/y0z

 

[Baal]

i didnt even notice the A/C was still on LOL wtf, i guess the previous driver couldnt handle the heat well

I might remove it not because of the weight loss but because of the HP gain.

 

[YozzaSport]

either way it weighs a ton, and saps about .5 of 1/2 of a donkey pull.
