Did you have any problems using your V2's with AST top mounts? I'm using the same setup and find that I only have a couple of threads to tighten the top nut, using the original nut. If I use the...

I wouldn't worry too much. My valver has been like that since I bought in 2008, has done roughly 30.000 miles since then with some track-days in between and it's still going strong.

Just keep a...

Clio mk2 172 servo. Both my car and the donor car are LHD, so i'm not sure if all the parts are the same as yours.

Yep, you can keep the standard servo.

I just changed it later due to not liking the pedal feel.

I have a Laguna one. It was a straight fit. :wink:

Didn't really like the pedal feel with the standard calipers and servo.

Had 36º in the display yesterday, but no pic.

Here in Portugal the only problem is the oil temperature which can get a bit high after a few miles of proper use. An oil cooler is a must if you...

I've got KW V2 and really rate them even though they are twin tube. The damping/spring stiffness really suits fast road/track day use. Body roll has been greatly reduced and turn-in response is...

Thanks! :D Yes, turn 1 was a blast, and there was really not much I could do there besides having some fun. Car was way too oversteery to try to get some decent times.

The CL RC5's were...

...a race track which is dry and sunny most of the year gets wet?

- It gets slippery as hell! :twisted: And when you only have 2 R888 at the front it's like driving on ice!

A few scares here...

Have been using mine over the last week or so... Can't really comment on their performance as the weather here in Portugal is terrible, but yes they rattle a lot... I don't really mind it though...

pm sent :wink:

Just had mine delivered! :D

Thank you for setting this up, Northy :)

Not yet, but it's good to know that they should be here soon! :D

I have a 10 row mocal cooler and the standard clock shows 4 bar cold idle, 1 bar hot idle and 3 bar running after it's up to temperature.

I'm using Elf SXR 5w-40.

As said in the Pictures forum, it's a video of myself at Poiares, a go-karting track in Portugal.
I found the car too undesteery for my liking, Probably down to bad tyres and/or bad alignment. Will...

I had another track-day at a go-karting track, this time at Poiares, a very challenging track.
I got two Sparco bucket seats and 4-point OMP harnesses which really made a difference to my driving...

I have an omp corsica and it has improved my driving position. Because of the larger offset I can push the seat further back and have my legs straighter.

I also have more leg room, which is useful...

I got the dogbone mount from an Ebay Shop called Energized Customs. It's just slightly cheaper than K-tec but the postage to Portugal was much cheaper than K-tec.

Just dropped this off at the bodyshop:

It's a double skinned fibreglass one, very light, I'd say roughly 5kg. I'm having it repaired it and...

K-tec manifold is actually a Supersprint 4-2-1. I can't really say if it makes much diference because it was fitted at the same time as the cams and headwork. It does make a lovely sound and is much...

I have here a Renault Manual that has the diagram for the F7P engine:

I'm always keeping this one...I have already spent way too much on it to sell it, lol :lol:

Just unsure if I should take it with me, or leave it here at my grandparents house. If I leave it...

Really appreciate your coments. It's nice to have such a good reaction from you guys! :)



Just a few years ago renault 4's had absolutely no value, but since then they seem to have become a...

Thanks for the comments! :D

Its true, our relatively dry weather and the fact that it never snows in the area I live in have really helped keep the car in this condition.

I don´t know how...

I've got some k-tec stage1 cams on my valver, which are in fact Pipercams BP270H.

Along with headwork, Supersprint manifold and a remap I had gains of aprox. 20hp.
Engine is still perfectly...

I'm bringing this topic back from dead, lol. :D

A lot has happened in the past year, starting with a headgasket failure in September. Turns out that the chip that was installed was a very nasty...

As the topic says, I'm looking for some fast road comshafts for a 1.8 16v. Something around 260º/270º.... :)


Anyone?
