Ok soo, I've hesitated updating this as I'm still a bit emotional.... I crashed it at the ring :cry: Was wet, lift off oversteer spun me 180 into the barrier. 800 euro bill for barrier "damage" On the upside, it actually made it there AND BACK without missing a beat Was still drivable...

I'll wait until I'm back from the ring, hopefully have some decent pics :cool:

Cheers mate, will bare that in mind next time it breaks :ROFLMAO: LOL Most people wouldve sold it by now, the amount of issues It's had this year Kept as a souvenir All fixed now though thanks to Mick OE pulley and bits Also he found a pinhole fuel leak in the line going to the rail so...

Been a while since I posted in here

Bonus content, saw a true legend today... @SharkyUK Trophy

The clio strikes again :ROFLMAO: But 1st up, I think (hope) driveshaft is sorted after spending days like this again This was the split in the brand spanking new boot New shaft with a stretchy universal type boot, see how long this lasts, hopefully more than 150 miles Test drove it to...

I did have measurements from Nick but deleted the email Drop them a message though, Nick will be happy to help.

Says its not for a 182 on the PMS site, different, made specifically for the 172 bumper.

6 years this coming Jan I'll have had it lol, mad aint it. Still running the side strips you gave me aha, exhaust is long gone though. What you in nowadays? Not weighed either of them stupidly. forgot to do the OZ's before I put the tyres on, theyre around 5kg though. If I remember I'll weigh...

It's not even IOM, its channel islands isn it? Guernsey Certainly over priced, dont think hes dropped it either since advertising it god knows how long back. He's seen that one go at auction for the same price and now wont budge. :cry:

Sod it, I'm wide awake. Going back to the gearbox, discovered something at cadwell. The b*****d thing has started to crunch into 4th now. freshly rebuilt box and I get this. Seriously think this car hates me. When will it end? It's not coming out again untill I have an LSD to go in, going to...

Put the Supers on, drove it to Spires and... yeah CV boot split Carried on anyway, found the rear right wheel bearing had play in too... maybe one day the car will be issue free lool. Say hi to 4x4 stance, aparently been on its arse doesnt make it handle well, who knew :unsure: Also...

Oh and all the guides that say the starter motor bolts are 13's, theyre most certainly not, theyre 16's Maybe different on a ph1, who knows. Now lets rewind, after the 1st box swap I had an afternoon at Curborough The event photographer obviously doesnt like my car as both times he took no...

Right then, onto the gearbox. Read all the guides and threads on doing this, most said its a fairly easy job, done in 90 mins... Jokers :ROFLMAO: Drop subframe a couple of inches and it slides out? Jokers :ROFLMAO: Anyway, here goes nothing Grateful of access to a ramp now, makes a s**t job...

Been a while, loads to update, 10 pics at a time I guess :ROFLMAO: I'll start with something random, anyone had this happen with the OE scissor jack? Completely bent the handle, so did a cheeky mod Can use the scissor jack with the gun now, which is decent lol. Got the Supers back from...

Sold for 5.5K Who the hell is paying that for an Exclusive? haha

Can get the ELF renault stuff for probably the same as you paid for the halfords stuff lol. £30.50 off ebay, I ordered some the other day to do my box swap. I forget which it was I swapped to at one poit and it made the crunches into 3rd twice as bad. Gone back to the renault stuff and its...

Pretty sure they are 35 Reason I got 1.2s was because theyre known for aving loads of space for brakes. Which wheels? haha Thinking of holding back on the 20vt swap until the following winter now (or until the belt goes 😂 ) Feel like I've done loads to it and im going to get a month or two of...

10mm Loads of room, could probably get away with smaller.

Just a quick one Tried on the Supers last week Centre bore is too small, think its VW Enough material there to be able to machine it out so getting that done at work as soon as. Got them on the front ok as the spacer pushed it out just enough to miss the hub.

Last post on the previous page No matter what I did, it just comes up as a black box I tried to put a click through link in instead, nope, black box 😂

This forum isnt what it used to be 😂 10 image limit is well annoying So is no longer being able to embed videos without uploading them direct to the forum

It's been one of those times where nothing has gone as planned, but I think we're finally getting somehwre. Castor seems even now both sides, so thats the odd castor issue fixed,I think Steering on test drives seems far lighter, despite the tracking being out and toeing in making it heavy. So...

The rod ends had also gone pretty stiff for some reason, so off they camr to be replaced Straight away another simple job wasnt so simple 😂 Luckily I had a cutting disc at home (keep them at the unit normally) Got those on, and the passenger coilover and clap... thunder Had to halt...

Been a long couple of weeks with this. Started with swappng thepowerflexbushes from the cup wishbones to my original wishbones, Confirmed one was bent when I had all 4 off, weather it was bent prior to me buying them, or it got bent when pressing thebushes out, I'm not sure. I took no risks...

Another buy I did... Full Ko4 setup from a BAM I'd been toying with different turbo ideas from the off, but this came up cheap and made sense. I was going to go ko3 hybrid, but theyre around £600 The ko4 setup, with a light hybrid (billet cartridge) can see the same power and costs less. I...

Started stripping the engine down last week Got it on the new stand Wanted to pull the head to measure the small end on the rods (some are 19mm tapered, some are 20mm) so I could do a buy. Looks like its very recently had a full belt service Got the head off after having to queue at...

Leaving it, kinda prefer it being subtle and not shouting at you.
