    The increased ration rockers definitely will work with the STD Cam and turbo, but you could go up on turbo size a bit too.

    With the Sid's Std ratio rockers you'll still benefit from lighter components with less friction and they should be a bit quieter than the OE gear too.

    Any plans to fabricate rollers for other makes of Renaults i.e. Gordini T Head?

    I am willing to look at any part for any car....or bike...if you want me to have a look best thing to do is send me 1 so can draw it up and get price....(for free)

    of course like the rockers on a 5 there left and right hand so would want 1 of each if this is case with the Gordini..

    cheers

    Adjustable (camber & castor wise) top mounts would be a winner mate.

    Both mate. Front to back would adjust castor, inside to outside would adjust camber.

    They go solid and the ride gets a little harsh, but as you say, the play has left the building.

    Mums clio 182 mounts are sh1te, knocky knock knock, but I dare not fit solid mounts for her, at 65 or he might get the dog..

    Isn't that the inlet manifold cooling lines?

    I would have thought a larger pipe & increased flow would be a bad thing, given its hot water you're pushing through there when the car is up to temperature and I thought the cooler the air,the better?

    They look fantastic Sid, but they seem to be for phase 1, as the Zero Position is the std place for a Phase 1 Top Mount. Most people will be running a Phase 2 set up, so would have to slide the mount outboard to correct for std location.

    Phase 2 already sit further outboard and a little rear as this reduced KPI and increased castor respectively.

    Another reason to have more outboard adjustment would be to allow the reduction in camber when fitting a wide track set up (Clio 16v, Williams or 172/182).

    Just a few things to think about.

    Idea is to get the flow going tha5t the hot water is taken away so the "cooler" water from rad can get there...also this is same for turbo...get the cool water in means getting the hot water away...frikin stuff just goes round in circles init..

    It's great to have a fabricator like this in the club!

    I would be interested in cliosport roller rockers, not that you would bring them higher then 8000rpm anyway because of stroke but the rockers are supposed to be weak?

    There is a set of lash rockers available from catcams but needs custom cams and cost would be somewhere around 3k all in

    Well, i don't own an f4r engine atm but i do want to build a high powered f4r somewhere in the future so i'm researching already.

    Could be interesting for Scoff too i reckon, also for a lot of other guys so it's good to know you're open for suggestions!

    Solid lifters are available too but at a price of 450 so might be really interesting if we could develope something in the future

    Good darts bud.

    Was it not possible to have them adjustable/sliding on elongated holes then, akin to the pic' I posted above?

    Can you replicate Devil strut-braces?
