Bad Day @ RAF Swinderby

[cliorod]

Just got back from the rally .Not a good day,seeded 50,finished the first stage in 30th position,second stage going very quick ~~~ caught an EVO going in to one of the chicanes ,THEN,went down on power,managed to book in and get a time,and pushed car back to service ,time for stage was 11 seconds quicker than first run through .OOP's the crank had vented all the oil into the catch tank,and oil everywhere,cleaned it all up,whipped out the plugs ,looks like a piston/rings.
Back to the drawing board

A few pictures ~~ my camera was playng up.
The engine shot is my mates ~~ 200bhp @ flywheel(did have ) got us up to around 120mph down the long straights .
The White Clio,is off a similar spec.but look at the gearbox pic ~~ sequential from A Renault Sport Spider .
And finally the Megane ,ex French Megane cup car,the suspension has been turrreted ~~~~ properly ~~ not like the Clio rally car on ebay !!!.Done by Harry Hockly Motor sport,and fitted with remote cannister Proflex coil overs ~~ these run out at about £1000 EACH !!!




Got to get a finish soon ~~ 3 events on the trot,without a result.
Rod.

unlucky mate.

2Live,on this car,he has the bonnet on four pins,and on the front has lifted it by placing thick rubber hosing over the pins ~~ under the bonnet.
He does not do the night stages and therefore no light pod.

[2 live]

ahhhh thort he mitev run a lamppod and cut away the front of the bonnet......lol


should get a nice amount of cold air the way hes done it too.if my mental image of it is correct lol.

Northy,
Not 100% sure,but it is "SODEMO" ~~ Renaultsport engine on TB's , I would suggest around the 200/220bhp mark .The brakes look like proper Renault sport~~ front and rear .Very nice car,he had a problem on the first stage,but his time for the second,was 11:16,we did a 10:54 with engine goosed

[northy]

very nice - would love some trick bits on the CUP. Mmmm AP racing brakes & throttle bodies !

You'll have to get us some more pictures of it pal....especially the instrument panel he has

Northy,
Do not know the guy ~ I just saw the cars on the entry list.They are supported by A.C.Williams,a Renault dealers in Lincolnshire.I think they rally down that neck of the woods ~~ although my told me,they were at MIRA on a rally there.
I might be able to get some ex-Prodrive WRC Tarmac calipers ,either Alcon/AP.The friend of mine who deals with them is currently in the Middle East on an event,will get a price,when he is back if your interested,you need the bells and brackets then.Have you any contacts within the engineering trade ???
