My Renaultsport RS250 track/road/ring tool
Discussion
Takes years off it imo.
Bit of NYE progress
Had a horrid wobble under throttle which I instantly knew would be the inner joint on the drivers driveshaft, I'd noticed some CV grease but had no access to garage until now to sort it but was too late as the joint had dried and s
t itself so my fault but a recon from Renault is on the way at cost of £200 vs the £450 brand new.
Also fitted some led bulbs as for some reason the facelift doesn't come with xenons.
When I done the FL conversion I had a new wing painted as I'd worn away the drivers arch and was not paying £50+ for a piece of plastic so instead got entire wing for £50 so managed to get that fitted.
A friend of mine just sold his RS3 and had some nearly new CL RC5 pads that he gave me so I swapped out the DS UNO to keep for track and whacked in the RC5 for road use.
A good nut and bolt check and she will be good to go.
Front end and wing still needs wet sanding and polishing btw

So snapped the piece of st bolt that bolts the gear box in place (properly st design) so sourced an M12 12.9 tensile bolt and drilled and tapped it from M10 to M12 and fitted it all back up.
I've also made another purchase....the KW clubsports that where actually on the car when I sold it which is a touch as I've had them from new and also have the raeder spring rates etc on so gave them a clean up and ready for fitting

Wheels look ace.
I know you like the little custom touches, have you seen the work these guys do with custom speedo fascias?

I'm going to get an RS style rev counter for my EP3.

Sorry big thread revive! I've always admired your car and I'm building my own track car now so wanted to pick your brains!
Which wheels have you found the best overall? Handling / ability to lower etc.
I love the Enkei's but how did you find them when going lower? I'm worried with the offset and width on 9" that they will foul the underside.
Many thanks
Mike
