Starting on my R27 F1

[Darrenb92]

MAF CFC Moto bracket fitted. Does it stop the cold start Kangarooing? Yes. Worth the money? Yes.

I have one of these MAP sensor brackets on my Clio. It still likes to kangaroo round corners when accelerating quickly. Turning off ESP eliminates all kangarooing on my car.

Update: I decided to update/upgrade the lights. Really pleased and they are a far better fit and product than the Renault items (appreciating how old the design is). Super bright bulbs all round. What a difference.

Update: waited a long time to add a new system to complement the new manifold. Sounds great with the KTR induction and a super fit. All new bushes of course.

 

[Darrenb92]

Update: finished exhaust look.

 

[Darrenb92]

Update: ok some what childish, underglow kit installed, actually pleased with the effect that works on a remote and blue tooth. As many colours as you can think of.

Next up: those nasty front washed out vents, 50% replaced so far. New wheels and rubber, these will be for sale, rubber nearly new. DNA top brace to be fitted. Manifold porting and remap at Horsham Developments. And a few other things, oh like re-lacing the rubbish plastic splitter type nonsense..

What lights did you replace them with?

 

[Darrenb92]

eBay: ultimate components. Really pleased, fanatsatic quality, fit and finish. Brand is DEPO from Taiwan. Even the packaging must be £10/15 for each box! They cost £165 all in.

The next thing up on your list should be replacing these rusty exhaust mounts. How somebody can come up with the idea to fit a new system to this rotten crap is actually beyond my understanding to be honest.

 

[Darrenb92]

They have been replaced, they just hadn’t arrived in time and I wanted the car back for a week. Don’t be so quick to judge.

 

[Darrenb92]

sorry been a long time posting but have been pretty active on this car. Ok I think after the lights I replaced..the battery with a Varley red top battery and threw away the over engineered battery box. More pics to come after this update.

 

[Darrenb92]

Next up ported polished and painted manifolds, great difference, very pleased.

 

[Darrenb92]

Another full belt, water pump etc service with a new air con condenser - wow that was a lot of money!

 

[Darrenb92]

And last but not least the new wheels and semi slicks, which I think are a fist on here in terms of not going for the ‘norms’. I love Rota. I run them on a lot of my cars and I think this finishes the car off.

 

[Darrenb92]

Ok I added a Race-chips throttle response unit also.

 

[Darrenb92]

Next up, full suspension setup, front carbon door cards, Apple bespoke stereo install and…

 

[Darrenb92]

Suspension set up by JCMotorsport, red top varley battery conversion complete and tidy now. Front air vents finally completed and carbon door cards in. And the DNA brace fitted. Not much more to do now.
