Hi all... Been a long while since I posted on the forum... but I hope these two youtube links will explain where I've been.

More videos and performance/reliability information will be available shortly...

The car will be at the RenaultSport day at Oulton for anyone who fancies having a look.

Comments welcome...:rasp:

Nice !!

@f0xy - sure, but I take no responsibility for fires, death, french engineering etc. ha ha ha.

this is assuming I haven't broken anything in the meantime

 

[Chrisjk]

Nice, however you really should cut you finger nails!

Super chargered K7M! Very unique indeed! What sort of power is it running?

 

[Whiteley]

Wow!

@chrisjk - um, that isn't my hand. i am the one nervously pouring the traction fluid in! lol

@shepperdspie - i'll tell you when i've rolled it. assuming I've done the sums right - it was running 112 brake at the wheels N/A - and I'm spinning the blower up to about 70,000rpm (1/2 speed) so it *should* be around 160-170 brake at 6,000 revs. this isn't taking intake heat losses and other things into consideration of course.

I'm having trouble getting the effeciency data from rotrex as regards adiabatic and parasitic losses but either way it's going to tear my 20 year old gearbox and clutch apart...

Looks like this is going to be fun. So pictures of the car would be nice?

+1

I got scared

Can we please keep the comments about the car as opposed to people's appearance - this sort of thing puts people off becoming a paid up member.

@Clio-Ell - There's a photo on http://www.renaultsport.co.uk/roadcars/trackdays/imagegallery/oulton2008/Default.aspx at the bottom right of the gallery

Didnt realise that was you last year at Oulton mate, I got some pics of your car (think I sent you them)....what setup was it back then?

 

[Magic Johnson]

Nice, however you really should cut you finger nails!

Lmao that's exactly what I was going to say! Disgusting! :dead:

@f0xy - ha, small world... yeah you did... and they were top notch.

Last year it was running the same engine, but running off the throttle-pot on 3 and a bit cylinders due to head gasket failure. The people who got my oil all over their bonnets are no doubt still p*ssed at me.

I was also running decades old comedy suspension. It's now been poly-bushed and the shockers are GAZ gold. The most important thing has been the addition of the MAP sensor for better/easier part-throttle running and of course positive air pressure...

 

[f0xy]

Cool....hope it makes it this time round with no problems!

**AGAIN - CAN WE PLEASE KEEP THE TOPICS ABOUT THE CAR - THE GIRL VIDEO'ING IS P*SSED AT YOU ALL - YOU TRY WORKING ON A GERIATRIC CLIO AND KEEPING CLEAN**

Moderators - if this thread keeps going off topic, just lock it for me. Many thanks.

@f0xy - don't jinx it. lol. the gasket went about a fortnight before I reckon. it sucked a gallon of water in on the way to work one day

I have every confidence in it for this year.
