So I’m still here but the inferno turbo went a month or 2 ago as I was offered a price I just couldn’t refuse for it.
Jump forward to now and if you’re on my instagram you would know I have been looking for a 330/335i LCI touring manual but trying to find one in spec and budget has proved near...
Before…
After…
I didn’t use crackle effect paint for the boost pipe in the end just some satin black I had in the garage. Still undecided if the keep cover OEM grey or go Inferno orange with it.
So here I am again getting the itch for something else not long after owning for a year and rebuilding. What do we think? Boosted forged lump, carbon everywhere, yozza… couple marks here an there but nothing major… stacks of history and a fresh mot…
Spent a bit of time out on the Clio yesterday.
The 2 jobs I had to do was strip the 3rd brake light, This was done with much ease and packaged up to be sent to @Touring_Rob to work some magic on it!
The 2nd job was a bit more of a chew as it was changing the washer pumps out of the tank. 1st...
Update…
So I’ve been doing some miles in the clio whilst I’ve been away shuttling out from a hotel an I have since discovered a couple of annoyances with the Inferno turbo which I didn’t have with the Monaco turbo.
Mainly it is the vibration in the cabin! It is unreal! Even at cruising speed or...
So been out to the 3rd brake light again this morning and stripped it down fully, cleaned and sprayed everything in sight and still nothing. I suspect the corrosion has gotten inside one of the resistors and done some damage. Threw it back together and will be sourcing a non sport light to...
So I’ve been out and stripped the spoiler brake down but with no joy unfortunately… But I did get it out without breaking in so 👍🏻
As you can see from the pictures it isn’t in the best condition on the backside of it. I de-pinned the connector and give them a clean up and a spray with...
Cheers @Louis i think I’ve got some electrical contact clearer spray tucked in the garage somewhere so I’ll give that a try 👍🏻
I’ve just been out to investigate my washer pumps and I have the motors running for windscreen and rear wiper but I’m getting no fluid through. I’ve used an airline and...
Today was MOT day… It passed but with a couple of minor issues but clearly it was a day for orange cars at my local dealer.
Firstly it appeared that I have some play in my N/S drive shaft,
Secondly I have very very slight play on the in O/S inner rack ball joint,
Thirdly my high level brake...
A bit more time spent on the Clio this afternoon, It was supposed to be a wheel clean after the cv boot repair and a quick rinse over. It in fact became a wheel clean, another cv boot repair, filing and sanding the wheels & spacers and nipping up the lower Evol mount leaving no time for washing...
After watching numerous videos of exhaust expander tools I’ve decided to cancel the purchase and instead go for a sleeved option. Not only is this cheaper but will save a fair bit of hassle and grief when I can’t flair the link pipe due to wall thinkness, strength of the steal and cheapness of...
So I’m going to start this post how I should have ended it… The Yozza is fitted!!
But the link pipe is not!
I went to the car full of joy this morning so pleased to be fitting such a piece to the inferno but my joy soon turned to despair.
I had the Milltek off the car within 6mins, the Yozza...
So this is what I’ve gone for… The silicone is good for -40 to +250.
Nut and bolt combo is m10 x 40mm with 2 type of locking washer, other suggestions welcomed 👍🏻
