So I am just home from collecting the Yozza fro @-Rob Thank you again but my thought now turn to mounting said exhaust.
After a quick search on here I'm shocked to discover that UHT exhaust silicon is all that is required for gasket material!!
I would have expected there to be a proper gasket of...
I would run some powerflex bushes if not already up rated? Yellow insert in upper mount and purple for the twisted dog mount.
Vibration in the cabin may increase somewhat but it may stop the vibration on the bulk head.
Thank you, I’ve never actually heard one in person and the audio clips I’ve seen/heard haven’t been the best tbh.
I am hoping it sounds good, I mean it should and the Milltek is ok but… Yozza! 😂
Not really done a great deal with this of late to be honest as with it being kids summer holidays, when we head out, we use the family wagon. So I’ve just been using it when I can and everytime before I do I think I’ll sell it and get something more practical… but then I drive it!! Grin ear to...
So today was investigation day with my local trusted Renault stealer!
The noise under braking hadn’t got any worse or better but having checked everything myself a fresh set of eyes always helps
Upon getting the car in the air a couple of issues were spotted instantly before even checking the...
Thanks she does scrub up really well considering she’s 18 years old!!
Possibly for sale in the near future as honestly I think I’m done with clios! I know I’ve been here & said it before and came back but I think was more of a trip down memory lane build after my Monaco was floating around for...
Sit Rep…
Ive covered around 900 of the 1000miles required by Alex for engine run in. Keeping to 4000rpm has been difficult and I may have strayed up the rev range a couple of times! 🤦🏻♂️
I’ll be contacting Alex shortly to arrange the oil & filter change, give the car a once over before it goes...
Carbon fibre update…
Thanks to @Clio_fool for getting these door grabs out to me, they finish off the carbon in the cabin very nicely without being ott!
As it stands carbon fibre fitted…
Clock surround
Door grabs
Door pulls
Dash trims
Steering wheel centre
Washer blanks
Rear bumper trim
Still...
So the carbon addiction is real now…
@Coops Mk1 was selling all his parts and I had to have them all to go along with the parts I’d gotten from @plees earlier this month. I’m going to be sending out a couple of the parts to be flatted back and re coated to freshen them up.
@Clio_fool ill...
Nothing major to report apart from 400 run in miles completed so 600miles to go and new to me dash trims.
I got some carbon effect wrapped ones form @Mbeau in January of this year but it bugged me that the steering wheel one was silver and the fact it wasn’t real carbon.
I see this current set...
So 1st day back home after 3 weeks away and I’ve made an impulse purchase for the Clio 🤦🏻♂️
More information and picture to follow after collection and Sunday.
In other news I received a care package from @Clio_fool before I went away containing some headlight adjusters, fog surround and wing...
Thank you, was a good mix of cars there!
I only took a couple of photos on the way there and back and only one there! 🤦🏻♂️
200 run in miles done! 800 to go!!
Extremely please! Just want to crack on with the rest of the car now but I need to recover the bank balance before any further major modifications happen.
Whoop indeed!! 😂
I’m sure there will be a time they can be side by side! 🤞🏻
Until we meet properly inferno fwend! 👍🏻👍🏻😂😂
So today was collection day!!!
As soon as I got home I was underneath the car fitting the parts that I’d aquired lately.
Firstly can we take a moment to appreciate how clean the underside is featuring the magnetic sump plug.
1st to go on the car was the 1seven2 Developments engine/gearbox...
Can’t wait to get it back!! But it’ll be slow run in progress as I’m only home for a few days before going away for 3 weeks! 😢
I’ve yet to see a quality one, I’m sure the old one could potentially be cleaned to some degree 🤷🏻♂️
In my excitement to get the car back I’ve got together some...
Absolutely! Can’t fault the guy once he’d got the car there and we’d switched from email to WhatsApp updates.
Alex sent me further updates later this evening too.
Just a couple little more jobs to do and then a shakedown run to make sure all is good.
Collection Friday hopefully!
Sit rep… 12/4/22
Knackered top mount, that is all… 🤦🏻♂️
Another thing to be fixed. I was hoping it was just the springs in the cup an I could hang on until new suspension and solid mounts but it was not meant to be. 🤷🏻♂️
