    ARP rod bolts upgrade

    Personally, for what they cost I don't see why you wouldn't while you've got the sump and windage tray off. At least pull the caps off the rods and inspect them

    Can’t find new brake pad retaining clips for Mk1 Clio

    I'm assuming you mean front brake pad slider shims? What model is your Clio? What's the chassis number?

    Dry ice blasting

    That's really nice, can't argue with the results there.. it's still on my list of things to do but at the moment I'd rather spend the £2k on an exterior blow over first

    ARP rod bolts upgrade

    Yes you can do the rod bolts with the engine in situ, it is possible to change the rod bearings at the same time.

    Dry ice blasting

    Soda blasting removes paint etc, I just want the 20+ years of gearbox oil leaks, underseal and road grime removed from the underside

    Dry ice blasting

    Frostworks.dryice on Instagram TBH if is was a 20k car I wouldn't baulk at the price, but i don't think it's worth it on a Clio, I'll probably just get it as high off the ground as I can on some tall axle stands and attack it with some chemicals, a drill brush and the pressure washer.. then...

    Dry ice blasting

    30kg of it in pellet form is <£100, I've got no idea how much you'd use doing a floorpan 🤷‍♂️ I fully understand there's a cost of doing business, I may have been optimistic/way off the mark which is fine, it just felt a bit spicy when you can get a full body shell media blasted for around...

    Dry ice blasting

    Anyone had the underside of a car dry ice blasted recently? Had a quote from a local place to do the underside of my Clio.. just the blasting, no post blasting treatment or underseal etc. They want £1100?! Seems like strong money for what can't amount to more than a day's work, I was...

    Yeah I've seen them, I definitely want a proper cup splitter but for now I've just ordered another Skoda one

    Mondial 172 Cup OEM+ / Rolling Resto

    Nearly there now, gear linkage connected and set up. Under tray and arch liners fitted, Wheel alignment done with some toe plates, it won't be perfect but it'll be good enough to get it MOT'd and driven to get it done properly. I need to get the rear discs and pads changed, torque the...

    Clio 182 Turbo

    New actuator bracket looks good 👌 , you could bend the rod by a few degrees which would remove the need to stack washers and/or clearance the hole. VHT paint looks decent too..

    Clio 182 Turbo

    You should be able to get an angled barb fitting on that drain flange and run some proper push fit hose between that and the fitting on the block, ideally with some fire sleeve over it. Something like that. You could try and adjustable actuator bracket too Failing that the lad that does...
