In my head, I class everything I've done to the car up to now as phase 1 which is complete. The new seats and seat mounts are phase 2 beginning and i've got a few different things that I'm working on that may or may not come to fruition. One of the things is to implement a 16x8 wheel and...

After having the car weighed its inspired me to have another round of weight saving, one thing that always bothered me was my seat mounts which were pretty heavy at 6.5kg per side, and I wanted to sit a little higher as I've never been truly happy with the height of the seat. I checked round...

About time I got on with this car again. finally dealt with the manifold rubbing the arb, I had power flex inserts in all the mounts, kept trying to adjust the engine position to get the clearance but even if I did it never lasted and it was rubbing again. Found that the dogbone small end where...

Can anyone who has direct to floor side mounts for bucket seats tell me the height from where they meet the floor to the top hole centre? I currently have a mix of base mount/side mounts but its too low for me, and I already asked Pure motorsport but theirs works out lower than my current...

Knocked up a quick spec, its covered almost exactly 1000 miles since its mot last April, so any new or rebuilt parts listed have only done about 1000 miles. I didn't have kids when I started this build... Build is pretty well documented with pictures etc and has been done using OEM Renault parts...

Hi all, thinking of selling this, with a young family, needing a bigger house and living so far from any track its just not getting used more than a couple dozen days a year and is mostly sitting around. Its running great with a great spec including cup racer front subframe and has the parts...

ah forgetting i'm on a 205/45/16 tyre so slightly smaller, I am 32mm over standard with no problems but that will be why.

Bola b2r in 17x7.5 is apparently 7.8kg and about £150 a wheel. Not a bad balance of weight and cost. I went down to a 16 to save weight and money, not entirely straightforward though .

Renault make shims but not that match the size, I had one made by someone i found on eBay and i just gave them the dimensions after measuring the original and adjusting for 1.5mm thick. It just needs to be flat its not a sealing surface just a mounting face for the bearing. Also in an ideal...

no it needs to be made, ideally when fitting you dummy fit the diff and measure the runout and get an exact measurement I did my own and dont have access to all the tools or knowledge to measure the runout so was advised by val to use a 1.5mm thick spacer, it replaces a spacer that already...

I know next to nothing about how diffs work but the lock might be the bias ratio as in the wheel with the most grip can receive up to 70% of power. I've got the val diff works really well. Just need to remember the val diff is a different dimension to standard so needs a spacer fitted under one...

Loving all these really clean parts, this is coming from someone who at best can just scrub his hubs with a bit of wheel cleaner and gets eyes full of spiders and dirt when working on the car!. I fitted the superpro caster bushes on the front of mine, i'm debating on fitting the rear beam...

Yeah I think when using the sadev gearbox they would be bespoke, but wondering if there is some other parts from the renault catalogue that would work with the tl4. as for the parts i got them from ap motorsport

haha you got the inside of clutch housing powder coated I love it! you need a little camera in there to capture the clutch action.

Hi, when using the cup racer ee brackets for extra track width etc, i believe you need to use driveshafts roughly 25mm longer. Buying shafts is an option but expensive so wondering if there is any off the shelf parts that could make up suitable shafts. I wouldnt be surprised if it was shafts...

thanks will get some closer pics when the weather here improves. it’s pretty reasonable I would say,at Idle and just driving gently it’s just got a nice rounded sound and not loud or in any way anti social, at full throttle it’s loud but I have a stripped interior so it’s about as loud as I...

Not a lot to add over the last few weeks other than getting some seat time, thinking about going to cup racer or pure motorsport engine mounts as even with the powerflex add in's there is more engine movement than i'm happy with so any thoughts on that would be appreciated. Diff still taking a...

Have had some seat time with the val racing lsd now, so far, in my opinion its brilliant, you have to have some faith that if you get on the accelerator it will bite and pull you into the corner which it does which is what you would expect with a good diff on a fwd car, a lot will depend on the...

Regarding the handling difference there’s been so much changed I don’t really know what each thing contributes individually but it is a big step up over what was already a great handling car with less roll and a more direct and reactive front end. Can’t wait to eventually fit the extended EE...

A little more than that was removed but not much other than to smooth it off, when I next have a wheel off I will take some better pics. So far nothing negative to report, the only thing I noticed is a stronger self centring feeling, probably due to the castor bushes etc , It needs a proper geo...
