Couple more parts arrived today… Ordered the NSR arch liner from @RENBreakers on ebay saturday morning and it arrived 1st thing today. Just need to sort the area it’s going to be bolted to but that will probably be next time home. My Gold AP10 plugs came from Opie Oils also, one for the sump...

Thanks @Porl I’ve sorted one. Cheers mate, now I know what I’m working with! 👍🏻

No I don’t have one 😭

As the title suggests I require information regarding the securing of the rear arch liner as mine decided it doesn’t which to be part of the car anymore. I’ve had a stab around the rusty mound where it secures but I thought they were all done with plastic push fits. Any information would...

I done some digging and it turns out they are in fact K-Tax solid mounts 👍🏻

Today I set about putting the front end back together either the newly acquired parts. I initially tried to get the K&N in the hole the old filter came out of but it soon came apparent that the battery was in the way. Battery out revealed the alleged K-Tax gearbox mount but to me it looks very...

Deposit paid with Alex so parts can be ordered and finally the new engine can begin to take shape 😁 Had a nice little surprise also today whilst waiting for the new K&N to be delivered. Two came, all the same info on packing slips except 2 separate order numbers! I only placed one order and...

Ok ok, I’ll can go to a duo or even a multipack at a push!? 😂

Gutted to see its playing up mate! Thought it was all sorted! Buuuuuut my standard seats and a mars bar if you wanna sell yours!? 😂

The other day I had the bumper of to remove the upper grille to refresh it along with trying to clean some more of the oil away. I’ve removed what residue I can but until to goes for the build it’ll be the best it gets. I thought about getting the grille painted but instead am going to soak it...

This is correct I went for a map, faultless communication throughout and was back 6months later for a full turbo kit fitted, again faultless throughout. The car ran fine with me for 2 years and is still about. I’m now dealing with Alex at AWMotorworks who is going the next step and will be...

Made my 1st purchase towards the start of the turbos rebuild today… A pair of Gold AP10 Magnetic sump and gearbox plugs. Nothing major I know but a important little part of the puzzle nevertheless. I’m also on the look out for Milltek non-resonated pipe if anybody is looking to sell or swap for...

Just because it’s broke doesn’t mean it has to be dirty…

I wish!! 😂

So I’ve had my quote email back from Alex and this is what he is planning… Engine; Block rebored to 83mm Wossner forged pistons, 9.5.1CR 83mm. Wossner forged conrods ARP conrod bolts Genuine Renault oil jets Genuine Renault big end bearings Genuine Renault main bearings Genuine Renault thrust...

Saturday the Turinis went for full asking price which even I thought was optimistic. And today finally saw the BG drive off into the sunset with its new owner up to Durham. Before it left though I took the opportunity to swap over a few more of the “mods” the previous owner had done to the...

Yeah of course I care, I’ve just bought it haha Thanks I think it’ll be being rebuilt to be honest as it’s too good just to be broke 😂

Arrr I seeeeee…

What’s the benefit of the Megane head gasket?

Yup… 😭 To be honest I’m thinking I’ll rebuild it whatever the cost as I’d just up spending the same on a different car if I was to get shot of this one. Yeah totally agree he’s a very knowledgable guy

So 5 1/2 hours, 200miles and a mpg of 41.9, I have been there & back to have the Inferno looked at by Alex at AWMotorworks. He jumped in the car to pull it into the workshop and the engine flashed low oil on the dash, he drove it inside and my car had left a nice rainbow pattern on the floor and...

As title ... Can anyone advise if any known issues running 6j et30 15” wheel over a 7j on a 182? Seen a set for sale for cheap but never heard of a 6j on 182s Cheers in advance.

Might get to see this as I’m heading down there on Friday to get the inferno looked at.

Yeah i definitely wont be putting lexus lights in and the only other option for rear lights really is the euro FK ones, so tbh the ph1 are the lesser of all evils! haha

I’ve always preferred the ph1 over the ph2 lights, the chrome blob in the middle does my head in. It worked well on my Monaco and BG but am not convinced on this inferno as yet tbh.

Brilliant cheers for the info gents! Just hope it goes well and I don’t need a rebuild 😂

I’m driving it down to see Alex in the new year on the 7th Jan, So what about hot/warm temp pressures or it’d best to let it cool down 1st I reckon?
