Today was the day to get the flywheel , clutch and engine and geaebox fitted as the mrs started back at work so i get a full saturday in the garage 😂.

First thing was to make some space and get the garage cleared and the clio pushed back as far as possible to give some clearance height from the front garage door being open.

Looks like ive done something but this car was a bare shell , no fuel lines , no brake lines , no wiring looms etc plus the other build and lack of time but happy its in !

Painted the bolts after it was fitted as the pink bolt was annoying me 😂

Managed to get abit of time on the white clio today before the wales match. No comments on the result !

Test fitted the cage , need to get bolted in , bottom feet should be ok but might need to modify the rear strengthening plates.

Managed to get the car to start firstime !

Had a fuel leak ! Rubber o ring had seen better days ,luckily i had 2 connectors from ktec so just replaced o ring and all good.

Car was idling at 3000 rpm so likely a vacuum leak , put fresh gaskets and double checked inlets on refit. Idling was now around 1000 but seemed to be struggling and flashing on dash to indicate fault.

Swapped

Swapped pedal which removed one code.

Took my laptop and Rs tuner down tonight to see if i got any clearer codes and this is what i got , i'm hoping its coil pack rather than a wiring fault.
