The issue I find with the modded Scenic shifters is the control weights are too light. So whilst they don’t rattle and the shifter height is good, theyre too light to use and don’t feel right to me.
I’ve tried something else with mine today but nit driven yet. Will report back tomorrow. 😏
Haha. Disaster! 🤦🏽♂️
I think almost all car parts I’ve regretted if I’ve not bought new.
Something else i experimented with is packing grease around the spring under the gearknob. It too makes a difference but in the hot weather the grease melts and runs down the top of the shaft. I’m yet to...
1.5kg of lead shot.
NMB ABT12 bearing in the tower.
OEM rubber boot over the linkage arm to gearbox packed with heavy grease.
That’s about as good as you’ll get it Russ.
Finally got some time to look at fitting my Corvette brake ducts today. Although these are exceptionally close to an OEM fit, they do not fit right up on a road car.
There was a lot of fitting, warming, forming, tweeking in order to get these to clear certain parts of the chassis, align with the...
Honestly for the money and size the inphase does more than i could ask of it. Its a pokey little unit and double the power of the other offerings from Alpine and the like. I was constrained by space so had to make use of what i could. However if you have the space for a bigger sub driver id go...
Sounds like ive trodden the exact route youre looking at .
I went for the following:
Alpine CDE 178BT HU
Focal AC130 components front
Focal RCX 130 coaxial rear
Focal Impulse 4.320 driving the speakers
Inphase USW300 under seat sub (Wanted to Focal but it was too big. This was much more...
Wow thats some read, well done on persevering with it. They all like to throw us a curve ball from time to time, so yours is no different.
Well done :)
@Jekyll has been doing some excellent headlight restorations here in Essex. I think i'll just get him to do mine properly and ceramic coat.
If you're in the Essex/Herts area and want a pukka job, hes your man. :)
If you haven't ordered the damper covers yet, the Motamec ones i have had on for the last 18 months have been excellent and my ASTs are as mint as the day i fitted them. :)
Only an issue if you're stationary for a long period of time. A good cold air feed will have your air filter air down to ambient in next to no time once rolling.
Afraid im still miles away in Essex mate. Ultimately you could make a few changes and make the Clio a nicer place to be, but it will never be a 250. Nothing you ever do will make it betetr than a 250, so if thats what you fancy then thats the route id go.
However if youre determined to keep...
