    C3RS200 Bilstein B14 vs CUP Pack stiffness

    I am in exactly the same position as you. I bought my car with new cup shocks and H&R springs (very low) Stance and look is great. Ride terrible!! If you push it hard it bounces. The cup shock is under rebound dampened for the H&R spring and can't control the rebound once the spring has been...

    Hi

    Well moved on a bit , found a forged bottom end for the 20th and am really enjoying it . Found this for my son busy repairing it . The plan is to sell the 20th and find a Gordini 200 ( found an accident damaged one ) and get to this .

    Clio 3 RS 200 cylinder head overhaul

    Does sound like it has been abused . May I ask what you paid ? They are only going to do a patch job , I mean it is a dealer we are talking about . If you really like the car I would negotiate a big discount and then get someone else to build the motor properly . That , is going to cost a...

    Clio 3 RS 200 cylinder head overhaul

    Sounds like nonsense to me !! It had a water leak because they hadn't torqued the head !!The bearings are something completely different ? That's oil pressure related most lightly . Only way to build these motors is replacing a lot of stuff while you are in there and it get's expensive .

    RS 200 20th anniversary edition engine rebuild

    The 830/832 motors don't have a fully floating crank pulley ( only cams ), they are keyed to the crank . I just felt that pin in the side of the block hardly held it a TDC very accurately , there was lots of slop . The half moon cam locator also had slop in it , maybe my kit was just poorly made...
