Updates Pre mot checked the blue dci on Sat. Quick jack up and all looks good, floorpan etc in really good nick for a 22 year old clio used in all weathers. Not much to note, front tyres need changing sooner rather than later, whilst in the air i greased the brake pipes and selecror bush, front...

Alloy not the right material. Phosphur bronze ollite prob the best but im no engineer. Ive done about 30thou on my brass bushes now on the dci. I had a look at them on sat whilst doing mot pre checks and no play whatsoever. The car also has no heatshielding like 172 so basically open to the...

Id use a ceracote trim wipe on the stalks.

Great power. Out of interest, any difference to power with exhaust valve open or closed?

The bosch 630cc are in stock but you will need map doing again. From reading the text in the link below, hard to find 630cc deka now. https://efi-parts.co.uk/product/630cc-4x-bosch-ev14-short-injectors-for-renault-rs/ Send your current ones to efi for a clean and flow test. Prob be ok.

Chris/Efi stock flow matched sets of 630cc bosch. https://efi-parts.co.uk/product-category/renault/ You could also use meg 250 injectors for around 300hp.

There are miles better injectors out there than the siemens deka. How much power do you plan on running? Look at bosch motorsport.

With it balancing ok, wouldnt worry about it. Be fine on the back. Deal with it if wheels ever need a refurb, or if a spare wheel comes up in better nick.

I have the dewalt dcf899 and it has plenty of poke. I have damaged mine somehow though as the impact mechanism is noisy on it now, i think it was when i tried to undo a bolt that was tight as feck and rattled it for ages. Bit disappointing to be fair its not had tons of use as only occasional...

Done a few little bits yesterday. Started off with oil and filter change as the oil had went black with the graphogen assembly lube from initial run up. I have a magnetic sump plug which was nice and clean, oil looked ok nothing to see really. Cut filter open to check for swarf, a few very...

Had a day on the Extra today. Had to change the stack oil temp sender. Its buried under a load of pipes at the fronf of the block. Whipped front end and intercooler off for access, easy job as its all been off many times over the years Intercooler off giving easy access New sensor fitted, added...

Machine polished the rest today. For a small van there is a lot of panelling, 8 hours later and the rest is done. The fallout was horrendous on every panel, its had paint before to my suprise, the back doors are not the best but good enough. Overall it looks decent though. The future, need to...

Been waiting for the postman to deliver some small parcels for ages so i could make progress on the Extra, ordered them all a fortnight ago and just arrived. Had an issue with coolant temp sensor adaptor leaking from the threads even with a couple of wraps of ptfe, so ordered a tube of Loctite...

Nothing happening today so took advantage of the nice weather and cut/polished the passenger side of the noddy van. It had a big scuff on the passenger door, which came out easy after a couple of passes. Fallout was horrendous on it, needed a good coat of Korrosol Products in stock Came up...

Seats have come up great, will look good fitted (y)
