Looks great. Wasn't sure on he gold wheels if I'm honest! My favourites were still the smaller enkeis I think [emoji87] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I think the hub nut had been over tightened causing the spline to snap but now my left shaft is clicking on full lock ffs haha cars almost perfect now almost
What were the signs of your CV joints needing doing mate? I'm getting a 'click' as the steering wheel passes through 12 o'clock. Only started last night. Going to see if it still does it today and if there's any noise from the outside. Sound familiar? Car looks unreal mate!! Would love to know how that thing drives
Yes mines clicking now which is driving me insane but I needed a new shaft because I snapped the spline on track
Hope to see you at Brands tomorrow mate, just remembered your Name is Matt - doh sorry! Hope you bring your car too
Sound. That's not too bad I suppose. Just as you get these cars running right something else pops up doesn't it. Good job i like the thing!
Wow amazing photos, the car is looking fantastic on those wheels and tyres. Mint![emoji41] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
It's getting there I need to get front end wrapped in paint protection film to keep her fresh but I'm at Bedford on Saturday so we will see how she does
Fantastic weekend with track day at Bedford Autodrome with my pals and the was insane once again. Car deffo needs a proper set up which was ore evident today when I was at the trackobsession power to weight shoot out and the car weighed in with half tank of fuel and without me in it at a whopping 1396kg and rolled 311bhp 366lbs torque so basically what she made at rstuning well over a year ago. Corner weights showed even without me in the car it's heavier on drivers side and they said it would really benefit from a corner weighing. Videos and pics up shortly
What's the wet weight on a standard car with driver and a tank? I've seen so many different measurements it's unreal, anything from 1387kg all the way up to 1505kg :\
Weird then, with some fag packet calculations; 1l of petrol is 0.74kg @ 4c and presuming average driver 90kg that puts yours at 1508kg fully laden with my hypothetical average driver. Is you're actually that stripped out though? I know it's the thing I noticed most about mine the weight, not so much in corners even but thank F it has so much torque!
I'm 92kg so your not far off and no bar rear seats which have been replaced with a rear cage it's not stripped at all as I like it to still feel oem. Best bits from Bedford
So this morning I met @pipps at our usual meeting spot for parts (he's breaking a 250 if you need anything) to pick up passenger driveshaft as mines been clicking and got straight down to my pals garage to get it fitted. The inner joint was knackered and the outer had dried right up so need one in and bosh the car now feeling great and no more horrible noises. Cars had Front discs 2 Driveshafts Drop links Anti rotation links Wheel bearings Rear discs and pads And feels great but as you'll see below she could really really do with corner weighting just to balance things out. The specs are with half tank of fuel and without me in it
I haven't been that active on here for a while but how I didn't come across this thread, I have no idea. Just read it from the start. Such an amazing car! Credit to you! So much attention to detail and care put in, with no expense overlooked.
Looks like you had some luck with the weather at Bedford I met a friend of yours with a white 250 recently - Mathew Ellis. Hoping to coordinate him mullering me on track soon, would be cool if we could organise a few others too.
clicked on this thread for a quick look.. 18 pages later I am still here! This is what car forums are all about..a real font of knowledge for the amateur track days enthusiast. Full of very useful information..good on you pal for sharing it with us..most wouldn't. Really shows your love for renaultsports..epic thread with so much work gone in to the car. I salute you sir!..keep it up.
Just spent the past hour reading 18 pages lol! Quality build pal, hope mine turns out half as nice! I see you got a miltek on and decat, you had it noise tested on track? And problems, I live near donny and there quite stricked, I have 3" miltek and thinking about decat
