@Chambers_RS Thanks 👍

After my engine mounts were done, I could finish up the weighloss programm in the front. I mounted the new radiator on my splitter to get it nice and low. With the position of the radiator determined, I could mount the cross bar. This crossbar saved me another 2,6 kg's alone, which is nice...

Your neighbours must be pretty happy with you doing these kind of work on the side of the road. 🤣 But hat's off to you from me. 😁👍

For step 2 of my winter project, I made a couple of new engine mounts. I wasn't going to pay nearly 400 Pounds for the Pure Motorsport ones, and I've seen @RuskiWeldShit 'copy' them, but I've decided to copy the design from the original Clio Cup racers, as it looked a lot simpler, and I've...

Don't forget to open a project thread. 👍

The mount has to take up the strength that's lost with the cutting in the chassis leg I suppose? Hence the thickness? As it's a populair swap in the older (lighter) Honda's, it can't be too much, I doubt the handling will be affected much.

@loggyboy That's a good tip, and I'm sure such a camera will come in handy more often. 👍

Compared to a Quaife, or standard open diff?

I just bend the original hose.

😁😁 But why though? I mean the're both 2 litre turbo 4x4 hatchback.

Love it, it's basically the predecessor of the Golf R etc.

This will be interesting, greetings from the Netherlands. 👍

I'm one of those guys that can't get my rear brakes warm. I'm also still on the original brake pads since I've got the car. At least one of my calipers has been replaced, so I guess they are both working. But my compensate valve could be past it's best. Is there any way to check this? Or just...

I already have a 900 gr battery. 😉👍

The weight loss programm continues. In this corner it wasn't really worth it, just 300 grams, but it's all part of the bigger plan. :p I've also order a smaller radiator, Saving a kilogramm alone on the radiator, which is a nice save. I will mount it on the splitter, and I will make...

Please do. 👍👍

OMFG. 😅😎

Just saw pictures in your thread, but you don't seem to have the 2 bolts at the back of the intake?

Probably look elsewhere. I lean on it all the time. It's also supported at the lower intake, and at the back near the coil pack.

Step 1 of my winter/2021 project is finished, I moved the battery from the engine compartment to behind my seat. For those interested, I added 600 grams worth of cable. :p

Yes, loving this. Looking forward to following this. 😎😎

I've drained the oil, and there's definately metal in there. Kind of funny when you can make magnetic fields with a magnet. I'm no expert on this, but does this indicate bearing wear? The oil is about a year and a half old, and I know that the oil didn't come out like this the last time I...

Thanks for the confirmation l, I'll do the same.

How did you time it? I suppose by loosening one of the pulleys? If you changed the dephaser, that's obvious ofcourse.

I've got the bill, it was cheaper than I thought.

I wouldn't say so. More likely the Renault mecanic thought 'good enough'.

I'm changing the belt as well right now, and it's exactly the same. I can't get the tool in either.

That's good to hear.

Thanks, I'll do that. The oil is about a year or so old. I might have to add that I have a Scenic shifter, and I've bent it back, a bit too far for the reverse gear actually. So it is now difficult to get into reverse, but it goes in reverse without crunches or anything, it's just that I have...

You mean the clutch release bearing? Or one inside the gearbox? It sounds like a bearing to me as well, but I can't figure out why it's only in reverse. I mean, all the gears use the same bearings right?
