that's either the bearings or possibly the diff? am i correct?
i'm praying that an oil change and going fairly sympathetic in the morning will make it last a day at croft
after that i should have enough money...
Right I asked about this a while back but was only able to describe the noise, I have now taken a video of it
What you are listening for is the high pitched whine that happens every 10 secs or so
Can anyone tell me what is causing it? This is the second brand new fse pump as I thought it...

right, i'm using an upgraded motorsport pump
noticed this at the last trackday, just want to know if it's anything to worry about or try and fix

I already have a mocal 13 row cooler, but i removed it as space with the ITB's and my rad is tight, would like to have it back on there just for the extra peace of mind...
to save me trying to explain what it is i want to the local renault parts dept....
can someone give me the part number for the upper and lower nuts that hold the main central gearbox mount to the battery tray

anyone heard of problems with the front suspension, namely springs snapping (last 2 to 3 inches of the coil), the spot welded bracket on the shocker housing corroding and breaking off easily? and the top spring hat/bearing wearing quickly?
this is an 05 plate car with...
or anyone else that can help me......
am i right in thinking that increasing the negative camber angle will give more grip on turn in?
the mk1 seems to be suffering with a wayward rear end, there is oodles of front end grip on turn in and it is VERY responsive and direct, however it...
taken on my phone so have to excuse the very poor quality :(
last round of the Northern sports and saloon car cahampionship at croft, was a great day of racing, got a couple of vids of the porsche gt3's and one in particular that seemed to enjoy getting as close to the pit wall as possible...

a simple one i think for someone who knows what they are doing with photoshop, or paint for that matter! :D
can you change the blue 'flames' to black please
thank you :D
Right, going on from my original thread, i loaded a new map onto the omex and it has solved the revving issue, and i have balanced each TB to 6kg/hr
took it out for a drive and all seems fine, throttle response is VERY sensitive, gave myself whiplash a few times lol i suppose having a solid...
right iirc its about a 14mm outlet? something like that anyway
my oil catch tank has 8mm outlets
if i reduce the size of the outlet or use a reducer on the hose to get it down to 8mm could there by any adverse effects?
it don't want to do anything daft like create pressure in the head, is...
right, now there are a few things which aren't correct yet, like the car is not running the correct map, but if anyone can shed some light on these problems i would be very grateful......
firstly, got the car started and running, was sounding lumpy and number 1 trumpet was sparking/flaming. so...
is it just common practice to stick a nut and bolt with a couple of washers either side onto the engine mount hole that is left after removing the standard inlet?
i know someone that did this but because the metal there is pretty thin it cracked (either due to overtightening or because it...
anyone know the going rate for a set of used cat cam 421's

what dials/gauges can it run on the standard mk1 clocks? ie tacho, oil temp, water temp etc
if it can't run any, maybe its a good excuse to go for an aftermarket dash? :cool:

or can the omex not run all of...
is there an easy way to tell if they are in there?
its either that or my fuel guage is on the blink
put a 5l jerry can in the other day and it went up to around 1/4 of a tank
then put another £15 in and it went beyond 3/4 full :S
are these a generic part? or totally specific to renault (no other manufacturers use the same flange setup?)
ie instead of buying a used mid section and chopping the end of it, can i just buy the flanges from somwhere?
