Red Quadra

[mr pat]

Hi all, i brought this quadra in November, some of you may know the car from the forum





Really enjoyed owning the car but in true renault style it started to go wrong, clutch started to slip, headgasket leaking oil from rear of the head, and a manifold gasket blowing due to broken stud, and cambelt change was due, so i pulled the engine to sort out the problems





Took the head to the local head shop, stem seals, skim, clean up and valves cut in, plus the broken stud drilled out



Get too carried away when doing stuff like this and didn't take many photos


Freshened up the engine bay quick rub down and sprayed





Freshen up on the rocker, crackle finish



All Back together, added a dawes device too

excellent, does she go well now then?

 

[mr pat]

Yep Goes well running 18psi now

Had a stainless system done in 2.5" with a single box, made a massive difference over the standard system,

 

[danb]

just be careful at that pressure.

Thats Bretts dads car which i was going to buy,
i have Bretts phase 1 car which is still looking good (i think anyway)

Glad to see it in good hands and being looked after,

I like the "crackle" effect on the rocker cover.....:surprised:

I test drove this car before you bought it Mr Pat & i thought it was a tad "dull" to drive as it was standard - by adding a stainless system & winding the boost up i'm sure she feels more alive...!! As Dan mentioned though - watch the boost, i'd personally only run 17psi on a standard set-up......

Car's looking good though....!!!!!
