That looks awesome. I don't normally like valvers in white either.

clean16v

15-06-2005, 21:25

yup! still waiting for full re-spray in white, keeping it original looking, i'm leaving the bulge carbon though. engine bay detailing, getting rid of rsut, shiny bits etc, maybe some silicone hosing.
And of course the seats coming out! This is just the beginning!

dunno about that mate, dipping into the 13's will do for my first outing, not going mad with the stripping and its not easy getting the power down!

Martin

15-06-2005, 21:35

13s no probs! I'll say 13.61@102mph....

looking slaaaaaaag there fella, saw you earlier, was in Sy's Scooby, you were tanking it the other way coming back from the runway by looks of things ;) hehe

(clean those ******* wheels though before the brake dust bakes into the corners!)

BenR

15-06-2005, 23:23

agree, those wheels are MINGING! lol

J o n

15-06-2005, 23:26

nice mount tho ;)

i want my engine to have next to no movement, can that be done with these group N thingy's Ben, or is that mount not used, as if not i'll get 2 of the night and day mounts for each side

Mark_Ritchspeed

15-06-2005, 23:27

Or just paint the wheels black and dont bother cleaning them. :roll:

BenR

15-06-2005, 23:58

you can fit the R19 one if you want.

If you are not going to change heat shield; at least take it out and staple the edges back into shape. It's a 5 mins job.

Winston

16-06-2005, 01:37

Such a rally slag lol....The brake dust adds to the overall effect

My guess a 13.6@100mph

more striping is needed :shock: :wink:

Get the inside sprayed.....you've got the bug :wink: :P

clean16v

16-06-2005, 02:59

whats with that poor terminal Wintson?
Wheels dont need cleaning til the rest of the car is sprayed up! Need it to carry on looking like a dirty slag!
It's back on song again after messing about with manifolds and the lambda sensor, it feels like its good for 13's easy now, just need to practice those launches!

Andyvalver

16-06-2005, 11:32

Looks nice mate. My heat shield is worse than that lol. Anybody know where to get them from. Renault said they are £50 :shock:

KingStromba

16-06-2005, 12:33

Yeah heat shields are the most expensive bits of foil ive ever bought. :shock:

Andyvalver

16-06-2005, 12:51

Do you know anywhere to get one from cheaper other than Renault.

KingStromba

16-06-2005, 12:53

If eurocarparts or gsf dont do them, then i guess make one yourself.

big hp

16-06-2005, 12:58

I've got a nice shiny new one :wink:

J o n

16-06-2005, 13:01

Think Ktec do a kevlar/carbon one of some kind, failing that I was told that you can use one off something like the Scenic (cant remember which Reno, may or may not be the scenic) and it's actually bigger and goes further round... Clean16v may remember, as we were speaking to our local Reno specialist about them... failing that all you need is some fire proof material like Clean was using before and just cut some holes and bolt it on... could save 30 grams or so on weight too :lol:

shiny heatshields are for soft southerners.
The heatshield that you are tealking about jon comes from the Clio diesel i think, Mike couldn't remember himself. I think i may just make one myself though, can't be that hard?

Andyvalver

16-06-2005, 13:05

Lol cool. Dont fancy payin £50 for tin foil.

J o n

16-06-2005, 13:12

Mehdi, I think making one would be the best idea and easy as hell to do. you just need something that you can shape right and wrap it in that material you were using before

Zollo

Wicked car mate 8)

Must say though, something like that is crying out for some bucket seats... :P

J o n

16-06-2005, 13:57

i dnot think it will be too long before we see bucket seats... although with the power of this car is it really worth it? you can run full interior and hammer pretty much everything on the road with this car as is... plus, leathers are in MINT condition... I mean MINT too... would be an awful waste of a good interior!

Just staple the loose heat-shield edges with plain stationery staples. I put about a dozen staples into mine and hasn't come loose for months.

rally design sell heat reflective material etc thats my plan rather than spend £50.. i'll make something which covers all the brake lines ect...i appiled heat reflective tape over my brake lines.. but also will utilise heat reflective padding from raly design... they sell batery boxes for £15 which caught my eye :-)
