    Crank locking tool

    I bought BGS8577 and Dayuan YT-1068 on Amazon last month. Less than £55 delivered. I'll use them next week, so no idea if they're quality or not

    which oem pistons should i run on my clio with megane turbo block

    block, crank and conrods are the same as megane rs, but pistons and head gasket are different. So your block is ok, but you'll need to find megane rs pistons or equivalent. bear in mind that original pistons come in two different sizes, due to manufacturing tolerances, so you will need to...

    Can someone explain to me how the VVT works on a RS197/200?

    maybe it works with pulses? IDK, but more pulses more duty cycle, so you sort of control the oil flow into the dephaser. just brainfarting here

    Best Gearbox Oil for Clio 197 for Race Use

    From what I read I would use genuine Elf stuff 75w80 or 75w, API GL4.

    C3RS200 Bilstein B14 vs CUP Pack stiffness

    Cold 'Low Power' Map? RS200

    it happens way below 75deg. Best way to check when this shift happens is using an obd reader or CLIP and monitor water temp

    Cold 'Low Power' Map? RS200

    What I have noticed is that there's a change in the throttle pedal map when running cold. I start the car and start driving, I usually drive slowly and at constant speed in my area, and after some seconds or minutes (depending on temperature), for a given throttle angle the car will suddenly...

    Gordini with Recaros

    I saw a pair of seats "gordini" retrimmed for sale in france not long ago. Can't find them now, but I think any gordini with recaros will be a retrofit or a custom thing

    Cup quick rack also on cup pack 200's?

    I've been reading about and can't figure out if the quick rack was fitted to all 200's with cup pack or if this was a feature of just the actual cup version. Cheers.
