Im sure somebodys had to do the same thing: how far down can I push the front seat backrest (i.e near horizontal?) and if I fold the rear seats or remove the rear backbench, how much space do I have from inside the front passenger footwell to the back of the boot??? basically can I fit 2...

I need some advice on how best to price/sell my track-spec cup, full description on the "for sale" section. 205-210 bhp, 190 lb/ft, full suspension, brake system setup etc, etc. Many thanks for feedback

yes, I have nothing more to do to the cup. Its gone as far as it reasonably can ... I need to tincker ... Ive been at my power/weight/cost/fun spreadsheet again and Im thinking about a BMW Z3 M coupe as my new track weapon-of-mass-destruction. That should offer plenty of tinkering fun. has...

Can anybody recommend a good outfit in or near London where I can have my wheels professionally refurbed, repainted and recoated? ta ver much

URGENT - Ive had a last minute meeting come up at work that stops me from attending a track day tomorrow. It is based on an airfield off the M4 and provides a very secure environment and plenty of run off space for beginners and experienced track dayer alike. The booking cost me £99. You can...

I remember seeing this a while ago but couldnt find it through a search. I am looking for a picture of the exhaust system, more specifically of the exhaust manifold collector and where it bends at 90degrees to join the cat. I want to see whats under the heat shield that rubs on the exhaust...

I know were affected by global warming but this is getting silly. My external temp sensor must have gone a bit wonkey, because the temperaure indicator showed 46 degrees, widely fluctuating, sometimes the temperature display wouldnt even light up. So I guess my external temeprature sensors gone...

As the title says, I need some info on the knock sensor fitted to the F4R engine in terms of: what rpm range or throttle opening does it operate under: 0 to max revs and WOT or does it stop before WOT does the sensor feed an increasing voltage into the ECU as it senses more vibration and the...

There are 3 wires feeding the coil on the 172/cup, two equal diameter wires which are orange and white and a 3rd thicker wire which is white. Does anybody know which of these is the coil negative? Thanks Philip

I need +12v, ground and tacho input for a shift light. Can a renault guy tell me if I can get the +12v and tacho off the standard fuse box inside the car (cup) or do I need to get it off the coil in the engine bay with the wiring hassle that involves? Many thanks

hello peeps, finally got the cup remapped post head + cams etc, and its developing 181.4 bhp at 6000 rpm - ps. at the wheels - hehe + running ultra sweet

anybody removed the fogs and fitted cooling ducts to the brakes? If so some feedback on attachment points and maybe piccies would be most appreciated..

recommendations on shift lights please. Either a traditional system feeding of the tacho on the ECU, or I have heard about systems that just plug into your 12v socket and sense pulses off the alternator. You then need to calibrate them against actual rpm. Ideally I need something with 3 LEDs...

A question for the techs. Do you know where I can get a wideband lambda sensor fitted to replace the standard unit on my car. I also want to connect the lambda sensor to my ECU or unichip for it to adjust the fuelling in real time depending on load, air temp etc. Who can do this for me, where...

I need to get good access under the front bumper to secure the spoiler lip which was dislodged while parking the car. I would also like to reposition the intake hose to my BMC and do some work on my fogs Soo, is anybody aware of a ramp I could have access to - free/cheap - or maybe an elevated...

Is the oil in the F4R gearbox the same as in the engine and do the two communicate. My reason for asking is that I saw a somewhat unusual oil breather system yeterday on a race cup at Jonathan Palmer and the crankcase breather fed to a plastic tank and from there a second pipe went straight back...

going to Jonathan Palmer Bedford cct this wed. Various exotica to be driven all day around the circuit. Needless to say the less well informed civilians will be making a dash for the various single seaters, Evos etc whilst yours truly will head straight for the CUP RACER (having been "briefed"...

your mailbox is full. already typed 2 replies to your mail and both were lost cos you cant receive them. PM when youve spring-cleaned!

anybody found a convenient way to return oil to the sump from a separate breather catch tank? and no, Id rather keep the dipstick - thank you ..

Renault wont tell me at what rpm the vvt is activated, and at what rpm it deactivates if thats different. Also, Ben believes vvt advances the inlet by 16 degrees when activated. If anybody has that info and can confirm Bens number pls let me know. Reasonably urgent... Many thanks

having removed my mud guards and the fogs, I discovered that on the nearside, the twin horns are right behind the fog light. More interestingly theres an interesting looking tall black box rectangular/cubic shape about 30cm tall and 10x10cm base with a flexible wire/hose going from its top into...

Is your PM full?

seem to remember the 172/cup injectors are rated 52bhp each. what does that mean in practice? they cant deliver enough fuel for an airmixture required for 55 bhp per injector? does that mean they just run out of fuel to inject and you start running lean??? are there readily available upgraded...

anybody handy at cutting and bonding carbon fibre panels? I need some advice on how best to do that and minimise waste given the cost of the panels.

anybody tried removing fogs off a mk2 172/cup? would appreciate procedure to avoid buggering up the bumper/fogs etc. Many thanks

Thought this topic came up already but I drew a blank on my search. Anyway, anybody measure up clearance on the cup wheels for max disc size + calipers? theoretically the standard 280mm discs (28mm wide pls confirm) could be uprated to 300mm or so. I also tried finding some 4 pot calipers that...
