Started to fit the doors and test fitting an 8j wheel for even wider tyres on the front
Back into the workshop to rip the engine out and fit a new Sachs Performance Race clutch along with a Mk2 DCi steering rack for less turns lock to lock over the Mk1 manual rack
And because the Sadev...
I suppose I should update this as it has been 3 & a half years 🙈
Last trackday was just before lockdown with a few other Mk1's & Mk2's
Had a premature end to the day with a track rod end somehow managing to strip it's threads & half come out of the hub whilst going round Gerards...
Those are ph2 speaker covers & the Williams 1's don't have speakers in the doors originally. I think I might have a couple of covers spare, I'll have a look for you
The fog lights are the same on both ph1 & ph2, it's just the outside mounting bits that are different and you can easily swap them...
Look back in your video at the end cap, see how the corners are machined at an angle, that's where you need sealant to be because the corners in the block are at 90 degrees
Yeah that'll be the old man @Coops Mk1 .................................................................................get ready for 11 million photos posted here now :rolleyes:
Top tip for you, when the car tells you the oil is empty it simply means the level has dropped below the minimum on the dipstick & it's only about 1 litre that you'd need to put in at most to fill it up ;)
I'm a bit out of date with current scrap prices but when I got £500 for my ph2 cat last year the ph1's were going for about £150-250 as were the 182 cats.
I'd disagree somewhat with your point about them not discriminating because it's possible to check the scrap values of cats fitted to certain...
It's the ph2 cats that are worth the silly money but are pretty safe from being nicked because of how difficult they are to get at to remove.
You'll be wasting time, money & effort doing that though, especially if the cat fails (which they eventually do with age) so you'll eventually end up...
Depends if you want them for looks or performance. The pic isn't very good but they look like they're the same Brembo calipers from the Peugeot 406 V6 which a lot of people have fitted over the years, you'll find that the pedal travel will increase with them unless you change to a different...
Best I can tell you is that the part number for the discs is correct but finding them is a monumental ballache.
It's because of the ABS rings that it has to be that part number but I vaguely remember @MicKPM saying something about the ABS rings being available from somewhere and fitting them to...
Just from the pictures it just doesn't look right to me, I don't trust the look of the dimensions & fitment to be correct. Bit difficult to say without actually having 1 to see next to the original though. In nearly 18 years of dicking about with Mk1's this is the 1st time I've ever actually...
Don't cheap out on the tensioner pulley as the cheap ones are crap and the good ones are ridiculously expensive, this is the cheapest good quality brand one I've managed to find after a quick look...
They're specific to phase 1 Valver & Williams only, the non wide arch ph1 Clio items are a different size & don't fit so more like unicorn poop encrusted with hens teeth :ROFLMAO:

They sell replacement injector plugs amongst many other things, I've bought loads of stuff from them for my Williams restoration and I can't recommend them highly enough
