The little plastic retaining screws drop out and they fall off. They're cheap at Renault though (or they were 2 years ago)

What else had you done to the engine to do that GrP A williams only revved to 8200........ formula renaults only rev to 7200, and they chuck rods at that RPM.... Adam It was my mate that built it as part of a uni project. I think he chopped a load of weight off the stock rods, the pistons were cust...

My old valver reliably revved to 8500rpm with a lightened and balanced bottom end and ARP stud kit. Sounded nice too.

Matt

Buy a new one from Renault they were only about £16 last time I checked.

What are you doing with the engine that blew John? I was gonna bid on that one in Barnsley but i'll let you have a go as you need it more than me. However I need a mockup engine and yours could be just the ticket.

Matt

Wow those Lotus wheels are gonna look awesome. Glad they fit OK, gonna need some stretch on the back hehe.

Matt

Eh i'm sure there was a post above my 2nd reply lol.

What differences are there with the sump? Theres an abandoned 340 over the road gonna see if I can get it. Does anybody know the overall height of the 16v engine?

Matt

I'm thinking of building a hot rod using a Clio 16v engine and a 340 transaxle and torque tube. I've been reading up and it says you need a 1.7 Bellhousing, sump, clutch and engine mountings. As its not going into a 340, will I get away with just using the 1.7 Bellhousing and clutch? Also, how much ...

Set of Four 13x10" Revolution 4 spokes These are very high quality wheels and weigh next to bugger all. They've all been fully refurbed with the rim/dish polished but the centres are still in primer so can be finished to whatever colour the buyer chooses. They're 4 x 3.75" PCD with 4" backspace so ...

I tried selling this ages ago but had no luck. I was gonna scrap it but not had a car to weigh in till now so needs to be bought or its definetley going.
