7711160128 - it is the wishbone used in first Clio Cup cars - basicly it is the same to the one fitted to road going versions (probably just with RenaultSport logo, seriously doubt they've changed bushes in it but don't know for sure) 7711162592 - is the so called 2009 Evo - which is similar...

Mistery solved haha, Federals 595 RS-R - they're heavy as hell I used to run them to and have comparison to Hankook wets - massive difference in favor of wets (and it can be seen from the second photo You weighted federals against michelin competition tire so same story here). The difference in...

I have both sets of wheels and Cup racer 8' Speedlines are heavier than 200 cup wheels for about 1 kg if memory serves me. They're a tad above 10 kg each. I've read somewhere that they're made of alloy with addition of magnesium, mainly for heat management rather than lightness (obviously ;) and...

Not sure if the Megane's cooling system is similar to Clio's but Renault Sport recommends R3 owners to increase water flow in the following manner:

3500 euro for what? new gearbox? I had gearbox repaired by Renault twice. First, it was 4-th gear crunch, by the time i've put quaife diff. Second, I had gears 4 and 5 from TL4-003 fitted along with gripper final drive. And It was nowhere near that amount of cash. More like 800 euro each time...

Thanks Yiannis I appreciate Your feedback. I have 90/110 springs setup and agree that on the road the rear is planted (I also run X85 Cup spoiler on the rear which really helps keeping the rear calm at high speed corners especially with less mass on the rear due to empty interior) but on the...

haha, DBW was drive-by-wire and BDW was a typo indeed - I meant BTW (By The Way) but guess i got confused by all these abbreviations :p

Yea, with standalone responsiveness of DBW throttle can be tuned, not sure though if it would feel as direct as cable setup, although I discovered one further advantage of cable over DBW: You can install and adjust pedal the way You want it so it's easier to heel&toe. I couldn't agree more with...

any updates? Have You had Your suspension fitted already? How does it compare to 5100? BTW what was the cost of upgrading to 5200 compared to rebuild if You don't mind me asking? Mine don't need a rebuild just yet but You'll never know, right.

DBW throttle programming in Clio 197/200 is hopeless, You put Your foot down and ECU decides for You if You need 100% throttle or less and If You still floor it then after a while gives You wide open throttle - that's most annoying thing from day 1 I bought my Clio. Now I have Cup racer pedal...

the front part doesn't actually look like a genuine Cup racer cage (apart from it being modified to suit RHD) it has different shape of door bars and doesn't have Matter lettering, the paint job looks the bee's knees though. this is how mine came out (and it didn't have to be cut to take out nor...

On Cup cars it's 105Nm, should be the same value for road cars.

I have all Powerflex black series bushes already fitted in suspension and engine/gearbox mounts as well so contacting Vibra in that matter and possibly replacing powerflex lower mount with vibra (if it has similar stiffness) seems pretty good idea. thx

i'm wondering if it is stiff enough since it has rubber bushes. if it had uniball instead or at least hard polyurethane then i would take it no doubt.

Thx, I have black powerflex bush fitted in OEM torque mount and is quite OK but don't feel comfortable with its rubber design. Would like Cup racer mount but it's different i.e. its mounted to Sadev gearbox rather then engine block :( Such design as in Womble thread but with harder polybush...

You need about 4 cm longer shafts per side but the difference with how the wishbone sits now is massive. They tottaly change the geometry of the front suspension.

Love it, pls keep posting mate.

road/purple bushes have lifetime warranty and black series doesn't have any, if it matters to You.

Look at the bright side of it, You'll have wider and lower stance and the wheels are noticeably lighter too :) which you should be able to feel at WOT. And once You set up suspension geometry and hit the track you'll forget about minor issues.
