Is that a cheeky 'Drift Button' installed on that handbrake? The ones where the button has no spring so you have to pull it out to lock it? If so that car has definitely been sideways ;)
Lovely clean example though, makes a nice change from all the 'drift spec' (read: ruined) ones my slidey...
Hi All,
Was wondering if you could give me a bit of advice, I’m looking for a set of sump bolts (the ones that hold the sump pan on) to replace the set where a couple have rounded. Renault are on back order and yes, I could wait and risk it, but ideally I’d like everything waiting to go so I...
Turbo Manifold studs pinged a couple weekends ago so it's down the unit in the healing corner, I was hoping to get some solid time on it but now I wish I attempted it at home!
I bought your bright orange subframe off your old grey car! Currently off the car at the moment because it's broken (again) but a little piece of yours still sees the road ;)
That shell must have sat at CitRen for about 18 months surely?
Can't wait to see this out and about!
Lovely job, I’ll get one ordered up, no changes to pedal effort or anything?
Yeah I wish I’d of caught it earlier on because I literally dug up some thermal sleeve stuff the other day meant for this exact purpose, but this one is now fubar 😂
Ahh thanks for the tip! I have seen a few more 197 MCs up new on eBay than 1*2 ones! Any specifics to it or is it a straight no worries swap?
As for the servo and feed, is there any uprated/more modern approaches to these? Does the vac feed have to be Renault hardline or can I just use the...
Hi All,
Car is recently off the road with the exhaust manifold and everything out which we all know is a PITA, and I happened to look at the brake servo while I was there.
There's rust on the servo that looks to me like it would have been caused by fluid leaks from the master cylinder...
I've had to ship a couple about places, once to @NorthloopCup. I used TNT, came in at around £35-40 from memory. Big cardboard box with some strategically placed bits of wood and stuffed full of old newspaper
Bought the car nearly 4 years ago for £1500.
Not wanting to count up too much, it's had three replacement gearboxes (current one with quaife) so thats around £5-6K before I even think about any of the other mods I've done.
Don't ever count up, it'll make you financially invested to the point...
Its definitely aftermarket, usually they have an electronic servo box with its own throttle cable coming from it. if you wanted it to work you'd have to locate that servo/cable arrangement as its probably been disconnected and tucked away. You'd then connect the cable from that to the other side...
Flash memory does have read/write limits where it will just die with age, devices like dashcams which are constantly reading/writing will soon burn through this especially on the cheaper brands of card
I've got problems with the downpipe too, seems like its twisting and always rubs on the bulkhead. I think this results in the downpipe nuts and studs constantly coming loose also
