I noticed the Lower front suspension arms and driveshafts being nearly horizontal when I had the tracking done last weekend so being aware of these roll Centre kits, I thought I would have a punt on one of the Kits from Scott @Tomotek as it’s easily reversible if I switch back to bone stock...
1st August 2020, Car taxed this morning so I could have my first drive!!
First thing was down to the local garage to get the tracking done:
Then it was tentative little Drive around town to get the feel for the car. Overall super pleased by it but noticed something... quick search of...
Last thing to do in advance of the MoT was to fit a new pair of OEM Renault (updated design) front suspension top mount assemblies as the brand new Febi Bilstein ones that were on the car were knocking like something on the bloody Ghost Train 👻!!
I took a photo to show the old/aftermarket...
Project COVID-Clio continues to plod on..
Gave the Bilstein’s a bit of a tweak today and raised the suspension front and rear to allow me to run the front wheel spacers with the 205/45/16 wheels. Interestingly, a 25mm-ish increase in the Ride Height doesn’t make the car looks like it’s on...
The battle continues...
Managed to get a steering angle sensor from the smashing chap that is Tom aka @Inferno182 aka BTT motorsport in Wigan. Definitely worth reaching out to this chap to see if he can help if you’re in the 💩! Very responsive and knowledgeable, thanks mate!! 👍👍
When I took...
Thank you @Colin-S 👍👍
Yes it’s a door panel off, then window out job to replace the window seals, but it’s quite easy. Just take your time to ensure you don’t put a kink in the new seal.
F*ck P1$$ Ba115 W@nky Renaults!!!
Cars now all back together but the only thing stopping me getting it finished now is the bloody steering angle sensor..
If anyone’s got one laying about please let me know.. I’m struggling to source one quickly!?
New (used) brake pipe ordered, and I’ve got my fingers crossed it arrives tomorrow as the cars booked in for a bloody MOT on Wednesday... 🤦🏼♂️
So just tinkering in the mean time:
OH MY GOD... I can see why people soon lose faith with these bloody Clio’s, this car is fighting me every step of the way as it nears completion.... 🤦🏼♂️
Fitted the new PAS pump today and it cured the squealing noise I was getting at full lock.
Whilst I had the car I’m the air, I thought I...
it’s a Megane 4 GT. it‘s the “Warm” version rather than the full cooking HOT version that is the RS.
it’s got the same engine & gearbox out of the Clio4 RS slightly detuned to 205bhp, instead of the 220 in the Clio.
Goes very well for a daily 👍
Oh and it’s blue! 💙
Did something yesterday I’ve been meaning to do for ages, get a picture of all my cars together:
It was the first time I’d driven the Clio As I was manoeuvring it around my driveway as of course it broke my bloody heart as the PAS pump was clearly not a happy camper!! Typical!! It was the only...
Wheels back and finally the car gets off the jack stands/bigfeckoffpiecesofwood:
Chuffed with how it looks, but think I’m going to raise the suspension a little, think she’s a little too slammed for me.. 🤔
Thanks for your viewing pleasure 🐌
Sent the seatbelts to a chap on Facebook called KolourKoncepts who has worked his magic and changed them from the OE silver/greasy fingerprint brown to this:
Amazingly fast service from this chap! Posted them off to him on Saturday, and he sent me this picture tonight showing me they had been...
