LOL.... Not really heard it with the silenced de-cat on. But sounds alot louder from the inside :evil:
No i got given it by a friend and im not too sure where he got it from.

It's just that if it's not genuine Renault the exhaust will likely rattle it's arse off.
Excellent thread, love the way so many people got involved with the build.

Not sure if its genuine or not tbh but it doesnt rattle at all. Didnt come in a renault packet or anything but its doing the job fine, no rattles or bangs.
Gave the car a final check over this morning as i probs wont have time to do much in the week, before mallory park on saturday. All thats left to do is to get the front tyres swapped over to some new t1r's and double check the tracking is fine.

Did my first trackday over the weekend sice the car has been built. Car ran smooth all day, handled well and nothing fell off. Great to catch up with a few people off here aswel.
However when i was about 5 mins from home i noticed that when i put my foot down flat the steering wheel started to shake quite bad. So the next day i decided to jack the car up and take a look, couldnt see anything wrong at first until i saw this...
Dont know what has caused it as of yet. The Powerflex sleeve has been crushed and has come out of the wishbone, and the wishbone bolt has bent.
After removing the wishbone i could see that the wole sleeve that was welded in had totally come loose and had been crushed.
A bit of damage to the subframe aswel but it doesnt look too bad
Going to have a proper look when i get back from holiday. Rang powerflex and they will send me some new sleeves out for the wishbones. Dont have a clue what has caused it tho??

Wasnt welded enough clearly. Also when I fitted a set to my car I didnt realise you had to weld them, they were pressed into place but even then mine didnt move as much as yours!

Looks like something somewhere else is putting undue pressure on that from somwhere something somehow, like.

Oh that's a bit of a bugger. I'm a little bit worried about the welding on my sleves now I've see this.
BMW E36 328
Yeah i know.... It shouldnt be the sleeves that are the problem various other people that have welded them in have never had a problem them. Something else must be bet/out of shape somewhere else i suspect. Alt least it held up all day for the trackday.
Ahhh first trackday first problem. Well at least i have a week and a half to get it sorted when i get back of holiday before cadwell park :dead:

Cheers Andy will have to come out in yours when i next see you at a trackday 
Few bits to sort over the next couple of weeks, i have to miss the trackday at cadwell due to work commitmets :dapprove:, but Donnington is at the end of july so ive got a few bits and bobs to keep me going until then.
1. Sort the wishbone out - Rang powerflex and they are sending me out a new set of wishbone sleeves. Going to get those tack welded in as i did before, replace the wishbone bolt as that is slightly bent. Then im just going to run it at donnington and see what happens before i go changing the subframe.
2. Ordered a new V6 air box from Tom @ wests renault, so going to get that on.
3. Sort the driveshaft out as it has leaked abit of cv grease, need a smalle hose clip really. Cv grease on the way.
4. Sort out the leaking sump gasket, its not leaking alot but id rather sort it than leave it.
5. Fit a bias valve, as the rear of the car was abit livley at mallory park.
6. Fit my AST solid Topmounts, sort the tracking and camber and get two new front tyres fitted before Donnington.

When i returned home today i found that this tidy package was waiting for me, was supprised it came so quick as i only ordered it on monday afternoon from Tom @ Wests Renault.
Its the first thing i have really bought for the car over the last few weeks. Started off using a ph1 airbox with a huge hole in the bottom, gave that back to the owner as it was only borrowed for a few weeks, months lol, then i used a BMC CDA Carbon airfilter for the trackday at Mallory Park.
Just fitted it, had to put the blue bit of silicone hose back on as i have misplaced my red piece lol... going to order another piece up tonight off ebay.
Looks tidier with it on now. Really pleased with it.
I also ordered some polycarb windows, only ordered the front two for now as my front windows dont go down atm. Was really pleased with the price and they should arrive next thursday. Ordered them off them from the group buy off the forum ACW Motorsport as they seem to be a decent kit, and at a decent price. Got the polycarb in the garage to replace the sunroof aswel so will put that in at the same time.

Looking good rob.. so when can i have my other air box back
BMW E36 328
Well the sleeves finally cam from powerflex to after a week wait. Just need to get them welded into the wishbones which i will get sorted next week. Also picked up some new wishbone bolts aswel to replace the old ones as one of them was bent, so may aswel just replace them both.
The cv grease so i can sort the driveshaft out
So with abit of luck i should have the car back on all four wheels again this week.
