After the TNT boys showed us the way, here is a small update on the local South east membership.
James5- Finally got his F7P turbo going & sorted most of the niggles, he's up to 14 psi boost & going strong, next thing is to fit an adj reg as the car leans out top end.
Check out this thread for updates (be quick as it prob won't be long before he pulls it out to put some other engine in, prob the R26 lump as there can't be many more turbo lumps he can try~)
Marky Mark- He's got a few new parts to fit to his tungy & will be sticking it on the rollers on this event https://www.rtoc.org/boards/showthrea...302#post227302
He's also made some good progress on his red 5 & I'm hoping to see this up & running in the next month with the monster volvo build.
Update on this thread
philr5t- Finally got his car done & made it to pod, I know he upping the boost more & more each day, I think we need to get this car on the rollers soon.
He's also getting married at the end of the month so I know we all wish him & his missus all the best
Update here
JRP- His usual happy self& has just bought himself a nice Audi to boot around in while he rebuilds his minty mint 5.
Update here
Dave H- After selling his lovely 5 I here he's smoking around in a Mini mayfairNot much room for dogging in that Dave
Fidos got a Raider- Well he hasn't anymore so needs to change his name
He's about to pick up a nice clio hybrid I hear so we'll see what progress we get on that
turbo ted- Robbie has finished his F7P turbo build, adaptronic, Scoffs mapping & that huge blower have seen some good results with over 300bhp @ 18 psi with 1/4 mile times of low 11's already. I know he's on the hunt for larger injectors already as his current ones are maxed, expect to see 10's from this car over the next few months
Myself- Well after getting totally peed off with the Raider & my suopposedly 'winter project' I've given in on it. I've had a turbo lump in it, running for a few seconds beforea couple of the lifters jacked & clashed wit hthe pistons, my fault for starting the car without it all togetherNow it has an N/A F7P in it & it will be for sale..... As I'm doing a R19 16v turbo out of my parts I collected from the Raider build.
Old Raider thread can be found here
R19 T build here
phase i 16v turbo- AKA Mike the parts manMike is his usual cheerful, helpful self, possibly the best place to go if you need Renault parts in the South East
Has numerous cars, I think he has a phase 2 in every colour & a few phase 1's as well. This is on top of other classic fords as well
fish head- Tony- a top bloke, keeps his cards to his chest with his own projectsbut allways on hand to help members
DaveMayGTT - Dave has been working on his car & improving the spec over the last few months, I know he's bought James's old VNT & he's also got my paddle clutch so expect to see some impressive figures later this year.
Updates here
I'll add more in as I find more, please feel free other reps to add in any info
