Hehe!! It's a hard ol life aaaaayyy!! one of the many reason why my updates have become less frequent is because its such a pain in the bloody arse to do anything directly on the CS site on my phone, and tap talk is shite too! just stresses me out!!

First time I've logged on in months, graduating uni, working and now moving house has put the Clio on the back burner!
You'll probably finish yours before I've even started on mine
It's usually around £30 a batch no matter how many bolts tend to go in. As long as it fits in his basket. These are all hardened OEM bolts so they de-embrittle them all too which a lot of plating places do NOT do! As usually the zincing process reduces the grade. So they re treat them too...
Yeah the look incredible! Picture never quite does them justice!! These have come out almost purpley!! Which is awesome yet bloody annoying as the previous batch was less purple and more yellow! Which is annoying because it won't match dammit!! Haha! I really need to keep telling myself they are...
Massive sorry for the late reply mate it's been a mad few months for me finishing uni and competing in the formula student events. Think I've got a few photos tucked away to upload will need to remind myself where I've left off haha! Got some more bolts back from moss metals t'other day which I...
Sorry for being so harsh, I'm having a pants day the dampers on these cars are very simple and literally all the info is on here. Once you master the search function you'll find it all mate.
If Scott says something (TOMOTEK) it's gospel trust me. The guy designed the Mclaren 650 GT3
And if your asking about weather or not his advice is sound or not you don't sound intelligent enough to be working under a car.
Harsh. Yes. The truth. Yes.
The truth hurts.
Ps Scott's a mate.
Mucho...
Hubba hubba haha looking awesome dude! No better way to learn than in a car with the correct setup! IMO! The car was all wrong before with rally style dampers and a crazy ride height! So doesn't help with the learning curve. Least the car is running how it's gonna be for a while now so no...
Certainly can haha!! Spent ages doing it today the trouble with second hand stuff really you live and learn!! will not be making that mistake again!! Will be swapping with my uprights in the future
Just using OEM 197 pads for the time being mate. and HC discs couldnt justify the cost of silly...
As you can see!! The top caliper mounts are parallel to the hub but sadly the bottom mount is quite severely out of line!! These hubs were now potentially scrap!! Untill I had a genius Idea!!! Mwahhhhh hahahahaha
Held the upright down securely using aluminium plate (also aided shimming it and...

Arch after a clean and de-grease the before shot was the dirty one above. The difference is quite dramatic. The plan is to get it all as clean de rusted as possible ready for the new components to go on.
The weapons! Love Bilt Hamber Stuff!
Some swirls seen here that I managed to get out...
Yeah hoepfully mate that is the plan haha!! Juts hate rusty parts and im all about prevention of rust too so the powder coating had got a little bit out of hand tbh spent way too much on it. Was planning on having it finshed for Blyton park but its looking hopeful haha! Sigh! :sweat::monkey...
Bit of Bilt Hmaber on the exposed and deliberately un powder coated circlip area to prevent rust before the bearing is fitted.
Bottom ball joint treated too
Goes on blue dries black. Awesome Stuff. Love it!
All built back together!! The results speak for themselves but wowwwwwww!!!!
