    How to check the status of BELT

    There should be an exposed section to the belt on the street car, I think only the cup cars have extra shielding over the belt. Just have a look for any frayed areas or cracks on the belt. If the water pump is new, that is probably a good sign as you are supposed to do cam belt, dephaser...

    This is not the Renault cup wing btw, so it will depend on what you are running

    Engine Mounts

    Did you guys have any issues with getting the gearbox mount on the car? My garage is saying the central hole of the upper gearbox mount is too small to fit the mounting location. I will call PMS Monday, but wanted to check here first.

    Yas Marina Track Day

    Looked to ring in the new year by trying out some new bits - fitted a DNA rear ARB, curious to see what it would do. Good fun all around, especially getting surprised by a Senna at full pace! Shame about the rain on the way to the track tho, what to do.

    Black RS200

    Next time the front bumper is off, have a look around that area and see if any hardware is missing.

    Black RS200

    Hows the front wing? I had the dealer do body work on my car once and forgot the bolts that secure the wing to the bumper at the top, so it was always sagging 1/8 of an inch gap between the tops of the wings and the bottom of the bumper area.

    Clio 197 won't move past RPM (bad throttle response)

    O2 sensors is my guess. My car did this when I swapped over the manifold to a Toyosport one. Same thing - car would stutter, wouldnt rev past 3k without very gentle throttle inputs. To confirm, try swapping the primary and secondary O2 / lambda sensors and see if that solves the issue. The...

    Engine Mounts

    I have those mounts in and had the same issue with vibrations in the cabin when the car was idling with the AC on. Just curious how this kit (or the VibraTechnic) will impact NVH. I need to replace the OEM mounts as they are going on 3 years old and many track days, and I can feel the engine...

    Engine Mounts

    Anyone else have these on a street car? I appreciate that @R20BTG was saying they are way stiffer than the Powerflex inserts (expected) but with a fully stripped interior the NVH is probably multiplied. I still dont know what it would be like for a call with its full interior still there.

    Stud and Nut compatibility

    Thanks PITA. I was a little worried there - I bought the ones advertised to fit the Clio. I realized they also sent me a set of wheel bolts at the time which I thought nothing of. But after reading about the nut taper, I was concerned. And Protrack have published they are closed until next...

    Stud and Nut compatibility

    Hi guys, I recently bought and installed the PMS stud and nut conversion kit: Motorsport Spec bullet tipped screw in M14 stud conversion kit with steel nuts (pure-motorsport.co.uk) They come with 60 degree tapered nuts. I only just learned that the nut size, taper etc might be an issue for...

    100k refresh

    Powerflex mix and match might be worthwhile. I have read if you do the upper and lower engine mounts, the vibration will be minimal and settles a bit after some time - I can't comment bc I went full hog and it rattles the car in idle and introduces some buzz at highway speeds. They will help...

    Weird motor sound

    that intermittent quiet chatter? Maybe the engine mounts?

    100k refresh

    Apologies in advance if this is common knowledge, but its always worth repeating. The real question here is when was everything done last time? I found through daily driving my 200 over 6 years that the mounts had 2-3 years of good life before they got really soft. You know the engine and...

    Car holding back at 2k revs but sounds really boomy

    Have a look at the exhaust manifold, pretty much everywhere from the headers back. Might be a leak / crack somewhere.
