Likewise to the above, got a bare looking wall lol

Welcome along 😀

New Porsches are terrible for this!! How it’s safe to navigate through 3 sub menus to change a radio is beyond me.

Been out working on the 182 today. But it’s so cold I wasn’t out for long. Can’t wait for 20 degree days and long evenings!! Anyway another day another idiotic bodge from someone, who uses a 13mm headed bolt to keep the top dash in🙄

I’d go genuine Renault for all. Renault parts direct have great prices. Also aftermarket timing tools like to bend/fail so better getting genuine. You can always buy the tools and sell them on for not much less than you pay for them new

Yay she runs. Those sills look so good too.

Good luck with the new engine, and good shout to go to EFI or ED, fingers crossed for good numbers and reliability🤞🏻

Removed the battery tray from the relocated battery today, glad I did as I had been tempted to keep it but will relocate back into the engine bay. If you look closely it was held in with 4 self tapper screws 🙄 the car that keeps on giving aye! As frustrating as this project is being im so glad...

I’d recommend @Mike@Rentech did my cambelt for me on my 182 4 or 5 years ago

No worries, worth doing ARP rod bolts too.

As you’ll have the head off I’d fit a Megane 225 headgasket which is what mine is getting when it goes back together. Standard gasket is 0.65mm and the Megane one is 1.30mm so should lower CR a bit. Apart from that for low boost it should be okay.

I didnt realise how in depth you went with this! Be good to get it done and on track next in '21, will be fun.

Didn’t realise it had been so long since I updated this thread, saying that I haven’t seen the car in 3 months! But good news, she’s insured again ready for 2021. MOT next week at some point then I can finally see what all the group n fuss is about 🤣

Cheers! It’ll get done and be worth it I hope lol

Sure that can be arranged lol hope you’re good!

Love these, my dad had one of these and 2x b5 rs4’s when I was a kid. One of the rs4’s was pushing 500bhp that thing was rapid. Bargain at 4K!

Not much of an update really. Got the engine stripped down checked measured and ready to go back together once I get some bits. It’s largely pretty good, will just get treated to some new big end bearings and leave the rest alone as it’s within spec. Subframe is now off, all the bushes need...

Can anyone please help me? I need the standard journal sizes for a 182 crank. I’ve measured the journals and want to see how they stack up. Cheers

He’ll need more than £10k to sort that 996 he brought it to us at work and it’s a shed.

I removed some rod bolts on a 172 engine yesterday and used a 1/4 drive 6 sided 11mm

5PK847 belt with cup setup, so you’re just running the crank water pump and alternator. I’m doing this and others too with no issue

Are you using genuine gaskets or aftermarket? I used after market once and it leaked, replaced with genuine and its been fine

What a lovely thing 😍

In the end it was my own error, I hadn’t clipped the 02 sensor wiring to the subframe. Subsequently it melted and shorted the plug on the down pipe blowing the fuse.

😂 I think driving Porsche’s for a living is what does it nothing else ever comes close

Funnily enough I want to go the other way and trade in my f56 Cooper S for a 140/240i next year as I find the mini dull.

Ordered 👌🏻

Can anybody advise which Megane headgasket I need to order? Is it a 225 oem? I’ve tried reading lots of threads but I seem to have conflicting info from over the years!

So at the weekend I got the engine out and got the cylinder head off. After seeing the rest of the car I really wanted to strip and check the internals and it all appears to be good. While I’m massively tempted to get some rods/pistons lower the CR and up the boost for now I’m just going to stay...

It really is, I don’t get it at all! As I know it works I’m tempted to get it back on run it for abit then start modifying from there.
