    Has your gearbox been replaced? Yes or no?

    No wonder renault are on the verge of going broke! you'd think building a sports car that you claim is track ready would have a sorted gearbox that should outlast the car! Reading all this makes me really worried, my car is clicking as it goes into second, is there some sort of after market...

    Big bold letters on tyres

    after much searching, it seems they only do the white faced writing for race spec tyres, it seems that the same tyres for retail sale dont have the white writing! The solution, buy the tyres i want and colour the logo with these http://www.durablesupply.com/saksolpainst.html i know it seems...

    fitting lower valence and skiirts

    I used a standard hydraulic car jack and the rivets that came with the kit mate, got all 9 rivets on without even having the car jacked up! Looks beautiful, just got the intake and centre silencer removed, now it sounds like a rally car, iv never loved something as much as i love this car! It...

    Oz rally rims

    Heys guys, I have always loved the white Oz rims, these leggendas are the closest i could find to the old rally rims they used on rally cars in the early 2000's! I know the ones i posted are 4 bolt and wont fit, but does anyone know if Oz make a rim of this design that would fit? its...

    fitting lower valence and skiirts

    Ok, got it all fitted in about 2.5 hours with some help of a proper car jack and my old man! I didn't use glue, but did rivet the side skirts in place, and the front lip was screwed in! I already loved this car more then words could express, but since these bits have gone on, its just taken the...

    fitting lower valence and skiirts

    cool man, so just set it up to sit in the place you want to fit, mark holes and screw it in with washers?! sounds good! as for the side skirts, is there a risk of going through the fuel tank at all? or should i use super stubby screws? cheers

    fitting lower valence and skiirts

    Hi guys, iv just purchased the lower valence for the front and a pair of side skirts for my R27. Im pretty handy with tools, being a sparky, but the instructions are only crappy pictures, what sort of glue is used to bond the two together? I understand there are screws for the valence and...

    Meg 225/230 conversion.

    The other workshop in the UK seems to be jamsport, a few builds on here that have work done by them and seem happy, im sure there are others, someone local will be more help :) I have a feeling the clio box wont support too much more power, and the 225 engine is a monster after just a remap...

    Custom exhausts and manifold

    Hi guys, New member here, I know there s a million and one exhaust threads but i couldnt find any info on manifolds/headers, so i thought id clump it together with my exhausts query... I am wondering - if there are any aftermarket manifolds/headers available for our cars, - had...

    5hp?

    awesome, I never would expect to become a monster, but definitely should feel more lively... not sure if a decat is legal in oz, might see if someone here will do custom headers and an custom exhaust, reckon itd be the same price as one shipped from OS and i could sort of hav what i want...

    5hp?

    na i wouldnt imagine there would be many at all! To be honest, i dont know if id want the meg engine, it was a cracker to own, very little lag, awesome delivery, but i kinda like NA screamers more, id get ITBs just for the sound haha

    5hp?

    Yeah being in oz makes it harder! I plan on getting fixed seats, lightweight battery exhaust and oz supers! Then a tune and paneL FILTER, maybe maybe a cam later! Iv got a r27, which I believe is like a full fat cup!

    5hp?

    I get that, 200ps NA is pretty good for a 2ltr! And like I said, the car is a beast, awesome package stock, that's why I bought one! I'm just queering the real world effects of the mods that are available and there value! I think personally 30hp more and a 100kg less and the car would be...

    5hp?

    thanks for the replies guys, Mark, that is what i was sort of referring to, your a brave man for doing those mods and i reckon itll be awesome, but it just seems to be diminishing returns from the start... I used to have a 225 meg, and a remap alone would give you almost 30 hp more sometimes, i...

    5hp?

    ah, i see, that explains it... to be fair, I love my car, and when its on the limit and im on a twisty road, i never wish there was more power, its already a complete package... so again, does the exhaust/map/intake make much noticable difference? in regards to both sound and performance? or is...
