Its well known that the pad is faster for 90% of people on Forza. Personally I use a wheel as its much much more fun. There is a bit of a learning curve with a wheel so you have to stick with it. All depends which you prefer.

All cache and cookies etc cleared today, having the same issue with IE9 and Chrome. If its just me though it can't be the site?? Is very random too, sometimes fast, sometimes very slow. All other websites are fine though.

I need to see this lap, it must be epic. What's your Gamertag?

Livery is a work in progress so not applied to car yet, but in the meantime... Bonus points for doing it on two wheels? Video of my two wheeled antics... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmRWOv-IYWc

I've owned both the Mini Cooper S and the Clio 197. Both handle very well, in standard trim the Clio should be faster. Mini feels like a much more expensive car where the Clio feels a bit 'plastic'. The Mini is pretty small inside and the boot is awful, literally no room in it, you wont get...

09:07.395 so far clean. I'm way off the pace though evidently, looks like we need to be breaking 08:50.xx Got a little tweaking to do i think.

If the R26 is anything like my S3 (265bhp) was then the Clio wouldn't stand a chance.

I'll probably end going to Renault as they are close.

Anyone ever use these guys (£350)... Link: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Clio-Sport-RS-2-0-197-Cam-Timing-Belt-Kit-Fitted-/110832722805

Can a faulty dephaser pulley pull the VVT back? Had it scanned today and it had a couple of faults logged regarding the pulley, mechanic reckons it could be faulty.

If I find anywhere good I'll let you know.

Car has felt a bit under powered twice this week so had my local Renauit Specialist clip test it and he reckons it logged a dephaser code which he says if the pulley was faulty it could hold the timing back?

Quite low miles so waterpump should be ok, I think dephaser needs doing though.

Legend :)

Thanks very much, so if I'm doing Dephaser Pulley and not waterpump I'm probably looking at £550.

I've been told parts alone are £240! Cambelt kit - £120 AUX Belt - £20 Dephaser Pulley - £100 So I gotta be looking at £400 at absolute lowest if I can find somewhere cheap locally, don't really know anywhere though.

Will call my local Renault and see what they say. Its not far from me (Bristol Road, Glos)

Can't decide whether to sell my 197 or not, but if i do keep it i'll probably get the belts done soon, its only done 34k but it's a '56 plate. So does anyone know of any cheap places around Gloucestershire? I guess i'm looking at: Cam belt kit Aux belt kit Dephaser (maybe) Waterpump (maybe)...

Cant find where/when i submitted my time?! Had a 1:35.xx or 1:36.xx?? Guess my time won't count now then.

Yes I know, I got mine to 240bhp without too much problem. 2x 106's and a Cooper S all in one day ring alarm bells though. Will get a power run asap.
