light strong for weight and affordable and look quite motorsport :wink: to be honest I dont think pics do them justice, they look better in the flesh.

I was unhappy initially with the front casting withe spoke bowing outwards they have a different casting where the spoke mirror the rear and gives the wheel a little dish on the front; one rim pattern I guess does all front wheel drive :? but that said loads and loads of room for hugemongous brakes :wink:

Ps no probs Mogster

of course I would always say it could do with some power :wink:


When I have some spare ££'s it will get more power and better brakes.


Well if you want, I have checked, and have enough parts to build a turbo similar spec to the one I have done for Mogster, and Will was running a very similar compressor on a T3 when he had his 275hp result:

http://www.renaultalpineownersclub.com/ ... highlight=

Mogster's turbo build here:
http://www.renaultalpineownersclub.com/ ... c&start=15

I have a new grind set of cams MF stage I that are equivalent to those used in Will's ready to go, and I'll build you a Renix 1 ecu that will tie it all together.

This should see you easily to the 270-280hp tested a number of times now. You can do it on a budget, and I can send you a list of the various parts you need to get in addition. It's certainly in the DIY territory, especially if you can get the engine out yourself as Mogster is doing on his self build now. That is the only way to do it on a budget, and get what you are looking for. The 300+ option takes more work, and outside the realm of bolt on, as I put cam swap as a bolt-on mod as per the good old days of Fast Car when it first started :wink:

Food for thought..

Loving the look, these rims suit the car and as I said previously the AZEV A'S are my personal choice.

Looking good and look forward to seeing the car in the flesh.

Fronts are 195.

It was lovely yesterday but cold. Photo taken outside a disused hanger. Tried to get a pic in front of a disused fighter jet. Security gave me a bollocking :(

I have managed to acquire s replacement nearside rear light cluster luckily for a price somewhat smaller than the National Debt (ya voll ebay.de)

Are there any hints or tips for removing and installing rear lights?

Cheers

There should be 4 long nuts (6-8 cm long) which I think are 10mm.

These are located on the inside of the engine bay, 2 might be behind the inspection panel.

Just be very careful unscrewing them, I usually tighten first then unscrew. They will either come off on their own or with the screw which they go onto.

Yes., did you bid? There is one on uk ebay but he wants £260 for it, i also know of a Lotus dealer that has a brand new one for £300

I have been watching ebay.de and ebay.fr for months, also trawing French small ads, there is a right hand one for sale in france, he also has the left hand one but the cover is missing

No, I didn't bid, I was just curious how these things are being listed as I can never seem to find them... like the UK one you just mentioned, I can't seem to find it.
