Chr15 Posted 29, December 2020 Report Share Posted 29, December 2020 Hey guys, After lurking here for a few months, I recently bought a 2011 RS250 Monaco GP (no. 205). Really enjoying it so far and it feels like a suitable upgrade in power and handling from my old Honda Integra Type S. The only mod on it at the moment are some Bilstein coilovers which definitely improve cornering and aesthetics. The previous owner also sold me some Rota Titan-Fs wrapped with Yokohama AD08Rs which I've been told are awesome on track. I'd like to get the resonator removed soon to hear a bit more action from the exhaust. I'm liking the OZRS community so far and hopefully I can meet some of you in person once covid restrictions are less strict. Enjoy the pic taken near Jervis Bay!

Xrsism Posted 15, January 2021 Report Share Posted 15, January 2021 So this was my timing belt. Glad I changed it out. 10yrs old and original. Had been serviced regularly by Renault dealership. How's yours Chris? Had any replacement cambelts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt205 Posted 15, January 2021 Report Share Posted 15, January 2021 I'd be more interested in the state of the pulleys and tensioners....never seen or heard of a belt itself snapping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davejay Posted 15, January 2021 Report Share Posted 15, January 2021 I’ve seen a couple of belts shred a few teeth, and a couple more with shagged idler or tensioner pulleys, all equally unhealthy and expensive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine have been changed around 10,000 k’s ago but I’m planning on taking it to RenoTech to check everything’s sorted soon. Fingers crossed.

Turns out this is as loud as it gets 😆 20210325_190346.mp4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
