BLUE SPIDER ON EBAY

I It sounds like you have spent a small fortune on making your Spider go faster.......I have spent only a couple of thousand.....your budget and my car......I suspect the GTA would win.

but your car ain't got that many horses though has it Peter

FYI .......Spending money on making it go faster.....£0 if you must know it was built by Renault Sport like that already,no bolt on Bling i'm afraid ....except the datalogger oh and a programmable sequential gear display from geartronics

RTOC meeting ...... can't make it as I'm in France at the French GP and I'm not a member....( no turbo ) so not allowed tracktime.....

I would say it has in the region of 250 (50 more than yours if I remember! and a whole heap more torque) but I will know for sure next week when its RR'd.
I thought you had bought carbon fibre panels to make it less lardy? I suspect your overall costs will be much higher too...although you have undoubtedly got a bargain as those who do the work pay the cost....theres no better value than a 2nd hand competition car.

PG RR


I as got some spare buns when you guys run out .....................
There's only one way to settle this argument ne discussion ........................

Yes its true!!!! A guy has set one up about 10 miles away.....so Ive got an adjustable fuel regulator to try out...and the chargecooler. Results to follow!

Rolling road gives bhp results thats all..... we can all talk about it eh till we're blue in the face,get it on the track...till we get a chance on the circuit.... my fingers are getting sore now

no carbon yet, as it will be an xpensive trip, probably the wrong side of £6k if we go the whole hog as the panels will have to be made bespoke which ain't cheap if you want a decent finish..... plus if a crazy Frenchman hits it..... that could cause me alot of grief

The RR session is totally seperate to this discussion......I need it to set up the adjustable fuel regulator Ive bought....but its always nice to know figures. They dont neccesarily convert to speed round a track...after all the Lotus Elise only had 118bhp

Or be quiete you tarts, My 5 dini Motorsport will kick both of your asp on the track! 200bhp of true old fashioned carbed, glued to the ground machine just like the way they used to be

Yes really...and front wheel drive to boot

Is the adjustable fuel pressure reg for the old injectors Peter or are you going to try the bigger ones again with less pressure behind them?

[phildini]

OH YES WOOOSSSSHHHHHH SEE YA

i'm with Andy on this.... not surprisingly. The race spider would "wee wee" all over a GTA on a track and probably on the road as well. The race cars will do 150mph, more with longer gearing as well. When I drove mine at Croix it was the fastest thing there down the straight without a doubt, quicker than the blue/purple winged ress tuned GTA...
The road car is only a little heavier, maybe 800kg, still 200kg lighter than a lightened GTA and whilst it has 150hp as standard can easily be tweaked to give nearly 200. So in theory you'd need at least 250hp in a GTA to even get close.

I have about 250bhp (I think )!!! But I'm not professing to beable to outrrun a race prepared spider.

Darren, I will be running my 191 injectors....I cant find anyone who thinks running big injectors and cutting back the fuel pressure is a wise thing to do.....feel free to argue in its favour if you will.....I am willing to listen to any argument.

peter, is you charge cooler all installed, up and running? Perhaps this is what is worrying the Spider boys, "fear of the unknown".
Maybe that's why you are on a RR next week, to check out the CC?

Its up and running.......if I get a chance I will do before and after with the CC as Ive got a switch on the dash for it....keep all you scientific geeks happy!!!!

NAAAAAH

Coix...... Sept 2005....:-

Europa cup..... Kicked his ass

he even put spider wheels with slicks on to try and match but.... nope

Clio V6 Trophy........ Nailed him too.....

and we were only using sticky road tyres



at a Renault official track day in the UK a friend of mine was giving hot lap rides in a race spider and of course being the fastest thing on the Renault sports boys said " i forgot how fast these things really were when they were raced..... still faster than a clio Trophy today"

come and ava go if ya think ya fast enough
