Think I've got an intermittent clearance issue with the exhaust manifold and the front anti roll bar, the cup racer subframe sits a little closer to the body of the car so the bar is a few mm higher up, and I'm getting the occasional rattle and clonk, has anyone encountered this? I'm wondering...

I researched it a fair bit first and when I saw that some of the 1*2 guys had done it when fitting the calipers to them I was confident, it’s not much that needed to be taken off just rounding off two corners and making sure there’s no sharp edges left afterwords. I think some 16’s just wouldn’t...

Forgot to mention when they tested the hazard light button they pushed the whole button out of the console lol, thankfully the lights worked and he let me off as long as I got it clipped in properly right away. I was a bit concerned about getting the car tested, as with this level of mods to...

MOT passed today after 3 years off the road. Only advisory was a number plate bulb, no problem with emissions with the pure exhaust and sports cat. Next job is too get alignment done properly instead of my uneven driveway job as I’ve got a pull to the left under hard braking.

I have only got the cup racer subframe fitted at the moment, I’ve not yet fitted extended brackets, that’s part of the next phase, I still have to order driveshafts but have everything else needed to install them. It is fully poly/spherical bushes and bearings or solid mounts up front now and...

Pure motorsport exhaust system fitted, very happy with it. Lithium ion battery fitted, not final setup but will do to get it going again. Test fitting new wheels, required a little material removed from the brake caliper, clio 172/182 conversions remove more from these callipers when...

All of the front ball joints were replaced using my press and some sheer stubbornness. Everything needed to push the old ball joints out of the front hubs was fabricated so if I ever needed to do it again it would be straightforward. Whilst refreshing the hubs, I didn't take any photo's, but...

For the suspension side of things I got a bit click happy one day and ordered the front end from a cup racer, this part will be done in two stages with some of it being fitted now and some of it in the second phase yet to happen. Moved the rear engine bracket from the stock subframe to the cup...

Been a long time since I updated this thread, the car's been off the road since sometime in 2018, and is currently in the final few jobs before getting a fresh MOT. I only intended to take it off the road for a few months, but the arrival of two children, getting married and some of the busiest...

Is that a jenvey turbo plenum with some machining to move the diffuser to the front? What’s the expected benefits of running itb’s with the supercharger or is it as much a cause we can and it’s cool thing which is absolutely cool with me

I’ll take a look at it soon I think and give it a proper going over. The guys who fitted my cage half assed it and used nothing so I quickly stuck some waxy oil on when I realised. I’ll go back and do a proper job like this thanks

I’m interested too I used some waxy oil but think before it sees any real road use I’d like to do the seam sealer

That’s where the air comes through from the engine bay on the drivers side

The vents are to exhaust engine bay heat, there isn’t a specific hole between the engine bay and the wheel arch vent but there is plenty of gaps for it to make its way out. Don’t know how effective it is but it does do something. Some Renault literature claims it compensates for the increased...

No you just need the spacers etc from a cup racer transferred to your own rack. I don’t think there is anything special about the cup racer rack and they are left hand drive

dont Know for sure but don’t think the cup racer rack is any different but have a feeling the cup race cars were left hand drive. Quite a few of us on the forum are using various combinations of cup racer parts. Basically the subframe and suspension/steering geometry are altered to enhance the...

When I installed mine it was shorter and needed a shim under one of the bearings, it was about 1.5mm from memory

Also I think the 197/200 gearbox might not match up to that block without some work. If it was my money unless I had some evidence that engine actually had cams etc and made more than 190-200bhp I’d save my money and just get an f4r 832, otherwise you could spend the cost of the engine again...

It looks more like the equivelant of a 172/183 era F4r spot the fuel rail on the lower inlet manifold and the can phaser. The 197/200 equivelant f4r from a formula Renault for example would have the same inlet manifold as the road car with a bend to move the throttle body in line with the air...

My cars still being put back together so have only had it running on the drive. I went for both the silencer and sports cat as I didn’t want anything too loud especially as I’ve no interior in the car and don’t want noise issues on track, all I have is a couple of clips of it on the drive so far.
