Please share an update once she's on the road! I recall one guy on here thought this kit induced too much understeer on his track day you. I'm interested to see other thoughts from users.
Nice progress!
Check out the Pure Motorsport exhaust manifold if you want to make power. As for oil, I am running Motul 5w-40 300v, which burns off a bit more than the standard Elf, but so far no issues with cold performance or anything. Transmission I am running the standard Elf, as I have...
:thumb: so nice! Any update on noise levels? Is this on a DD or a track toy? I would love to get one but my car already came with an Akra exhaust, and I feel bad cutting into it.
There were posts from owners detailing really poor customer service and part fit on the car. And at that price point, you are closer to a PMS exhaust...
I will add that the K-tech headers have quality issues in the past. I know of 3 that have blown on cup cars running in a series out here in Dubai, and one that blew on my friend's TT clio. K-tech have said this is due to quality issues with an early batch (could be true, who knows?) so keep...
I think the overall shape is the same, but there are different versions. I have I think the GT one on mine, which includes the button for locking the car inside the renault diamond. I cannot fit a cup spoiler on this version.
Are you planning to run an adjustable suspension? You can then fiddle with the setup to change how the car behaves under hard braking. I noticed the change in brake bias (I have the Reyland kit), but I am in the process of trying to tune it out by playing with the rear settings.
Do you mean Cup 2s? Or PS4s?
In any case, the standard brakes are more than enough to lock up the front discs without ABS, going bigger is all about thermal management. You get a bit more braking torque, yes, but you can already 'overwhelm' the tires with a stock setup. Just smash the brakes...
Good shout. Basically, with my Akra the car no longer can do daily duty it sounds. Something to keep in mind, I will have to shop for another DD once I upgrade the manifold :-)
How do you activate the ignition? I have the $5 one, Plex, and something inbetween. I have tested the readers on other cars and they work fine, but with the Clio and Torque on my Android, i get an error saying can't read the PIMs
@tombate911, what are you using as a phone holder? I would like something similar for my track days. I can't mount anything up on the glass because of track policy, so your solution here is perfect.
