For anybody who wants to go down the same road as me......

[nyk]

Some of you may already be aware, I bought another valver to make a BEAST of a track car.

Done a lot of work on it and spent a lot of money the last couple of weeks. The engine is currently in bits, but I've had done/doing the following:

2lt Megane bottom end with stronger con rods etc (fully rebuilt with new bearings), lightened crank and fly wheel
Cams in Valver head (Polished and Ported)
Full supersprint mainfold and exhaust system (no cat)
Custom air feed
R1 carbs

I've searched long and hard on the carbs front and I have found a company I thought some of you may be intersted in, if as I say you want to go down my road and strap some carbs to your clio!!

We thought about Throttle bodies, but wanted something different.

Basically they do a drive in drive out jobby for £579.00.
This includes your manifold being custom made and everything, no parts to be supplied. When you collect the car it will have been RR'd to set up the jets etc and they guarantee at least 30Bhp increase (figures based on stock engines). With my mods, they hope to get it near the 190bhp mark.

It's a really small company run by a family in North Yorkshire, and they have done these carb conversions on lots of different cars. I went down last weekend and they have some real fancy machinery there, looks real professional. Plus I got to have a look at some of the work they have done. Including a SX200 on carbs.

My car is going into them in January, followed by its paint job in Feb (blue and yellow Renault F1 colours), hopefully should be out to play on the track days in Spring.

Anybody who is interested in their details PM me.

Plus can anyone help me on the gearbox front??
We fancy LSD, but toying with lots of ideas. There just doesnt seem to be a fool proof box made by Renault anyways. Does anyone know what the actual weak point in the willy/valver boxes is that makes them fail? I ask so we can build a custom jobby. Terry Kings tell me it is the bearings that hold the shaft, they fail and the shaft becomes loose making the gears rip each other apart basically. Dont know how accurate it is tho, and wondered what other people know.

That carb work sounds like a bargain...I paid that just for a manifold on my ITR!

They laser cut the gasket and weld on the mainfold pipes, you can buy the manifold alone from them for around £170.

Thats not bad for a manifold they're a twat to make cos of the oval ports.

does that price include the actual carbs?? if not how much were the carbs?

[nyk]

Not sure how much the carbs are alone.

The 579 is for everything including the fitting, ie carbs manifold etc etc. They cut out the loom bits off your ECU that you dont need. It is a drive in drive out jobby. No parts need to be supplied or anything.
