Martin,
Do you need a limited slip diff?
I don't think the Euro cars had a different final drive ratio. I'm sure
that's all folk law. Indeed they all seem very high geared to me.
What about these camshafts offered for sale, not interested in a couple?

I'm getting seriously enthusiastic about performance mods for Lex's engine.
Been doing a lot of learnin' (mainly by firing
endless e-mails back and forth to Darren as we both sit bored at work).

Did you know there's a Limited slip differential that would drop right in
the D's box, still available, brand new from
Renault? Did you know raising the final drive ratio like the euro cars is
piddly easy? Did you know that if getting a complete
engine rebuild, you can get the capacity up to 3 litres for only an extra
£120?

Darren's going to write up a list of possibilities for me over crimbie to
"make public". These will cover three possibilities:

1) Retaining original "look"
2) The best normally aspirated PRV with even-firing crank and electronic
everything. Will look different but will still bolt
right in.
3) Turbocharged drop-in replacements.

The one no-no is blowing a stock PRV. Sorry Rich and Tony!
