Prep 19 16v for stag do road trip to Nurburgring. - Retro-Renault

stu750 · 20th December 2006, 10:15 AM

Hi, im a newbie. Im after any help or advise for preparing my phase 1 19 16v 1992 for my stag do trip too and around and hopefully back from the Nurburgring Germany.
I paid 200 quid for the car from a friend as the engine was knocking

So far i have replaced the engine(100 puid) due to a knackered crank, brought and fitted a four branch stainless manifold and down pipe, decat and middle pipe.
I also have a K&N induction kit, an F7P 16v Clio coupe chip(not yet fitted) .
I'm looking for a good second hand stainless backbox with good flow but not to loud. I also need the rubber pipe that goes between the air box and the throttle body. Also I'm after any other performance parts.
I have 2 other spare 16v cylinder heads, i am considering doing some work on one of them such as port and polish. I have most of the equipment to do it, but the largest head i have port and polished was of a 70cc single cylinder Honda monkey bike engine. so any advise is more than welcome.

Thanks,Stu.

Brake is your first port of call. there a few high to low speed stoping area, and there don't get time to cool back down. Make sure there load's of meat on them before you go, We came back with a set of worn brake's and one tyre. The ring is hard on your car. so spare oil might be good also. as we did have one 172, loose gearbox oil on the track. Once you've been you'll want to go again.
