    "Don't buy a Renault" They told me.....

    Would you trust them to actually fit a new clutch if you were paying for it? How would you know?

    What Clio based presents are you getting for Christmas?

    My wife almost bought me a Gordini polo shirt to go with the car. Lucky I caught her and put a stop to that!

    kw v1

    Can any of the KW range adjust the spring pre-load independently of ride height? By lowering the car aren't you just 'loosening' the spring?

    Another Dead Clio

    I don't think that's right. The manifold shouldn't need replacing so they should at the very least be paying 65% of their cost price because it's costing you 45% of 1264 but it's actually costing Renault a fraction of that because they're not buying it for 1264. Your 45% probably covers their...

    Pedal Button Thing

    I tried it again today. If you put your foot down until you can JUST feel the button gives you approx 96% throttle. If you press down ONTO the button you get 99%. Obviously pressing past the button gives you 100%. So basically you get 99% if you are pressing onto the button with the slightest of...

    Is this Cup Suspension?

    Interestingly on an earlier Cup chassis the part numbers were Front:8200 926 467 & Rear:8200 926 468. My rear is the same but front is 542 025 293R. I may have read somewhere that there was an updated front shock that is 'less crashy'???

    better turn-in/ change of direction

    You're right, I really need coilovers if I want lower, flatter cornering

    Is this Cup Suspension?

    Blue and Purple paint on the front springs and Blue and Orange on the back? I thought most guys had Blue and Orange springs front and back

    better turn-in/ change of direction

    Let's put it in perspective, the car is great, I'm just trying to make it better. Even F1 cars understeer!

    "Don't buy a Renault" They told me.....

    I still don't understand why your 12 month warranty doesn't cover the gearbox?

    better turn-in/ change of direction

    Yes it is the cup chassis. Ok, it doesn't roll about like a bus, it's all relative

    better turn-in/ change of direction

    Am I right to assume I can dial out some of the understeer with front/rear ride height with coilovers?
  19. Andreas187

    better turn-in/ change of direction

    Yup, I think it just need to be lower and stiffer

    Pedal Button Thing

    I had a play around with this just yesterday. The RS Monitor has a throttle gauge and up to the button it is about 95%-98%. Press all the way down and you get 100%. I'll try and get a photo tomorrow
