    B-shaw’s PH1 Exclusive

    Not done a great deal to this lately. But I do basically have a clio van now... Made some removable boarding for the boot, constantly lugging tool boxes n stuff too and from the unit was taking its toll, especially without the spare wheel in, couldn't put anything over that area. This just...

    Battery powered tools

    Dewalt and Mac Tools are the same, so batteries can be swapped, good for car and DIY bits then. Milwaukee are supposed to be very good too, I almost went with them until the Mac tools dealer offered me great deal on impact guns.

    Phase 1 6.8k at auction

    Condition of those headlights reflects the condition of the rest of the car, from what I could see. Steering wheel was amazing, probably re-trimmed though. Ive never seen a mint OE one so I don't actually know what they look without half of it stuck to your hand.

    Phase 1 6.8k at auction

    What torque wrench to buy?

    Mad how much Stanley Black and Decker own (theres a brand ud probs not heard in a while lol) I've got a little draper 3/8 one I've had for years, always been fine. Need a 1/2 one really though for the bigger bits/more leverage. Halfords look decent, always tempted by Snapon/Mac though even...

    Rubber was fairly fucked around the edges, where the ally had corroded, it expanded and pushed the rubber all out of shape. Else I'd have considered keeping it. Not really done anything, gave it an oil change a bit back. Battling with the usual idol problems that keep coming back to haunt me on...

    Been a little quiet in here, not done a lot. Still not removed the last bits of the air-con stuff (heater bits) but I did change my dipped and main beam's for Osram nightbreaker lasers and LED interior lights. Can see inside and out now, which is handy haha. Also, Buy a prima racing exhaust...

    Did a buy Ally Bonnet, one that hasn't been ruined by aero-catches, Rarity nowadays it seems. Bot a slight crease in it, hoping we can sort it at work. Will be being painted when I get both bumpers done and maybe some other bits blown in. Collected from Chesterfield so seemed rude not to go...

    Well... this will have been the slow starter issue Had the perfect length of cable left over and some lugs from the battery relocation. Better than it's ever been now I think. Didn't get anything else done, busy weekend being lazy.

    Forgot to update this, was shattered after finishing Sunday and wanted to catch the F1 Got it all done, besides a few teething problems it seems. Got it all bolted up, realised the belt I got with the kit was for a non-pas setup. ECP saved the day on a Sunday and came through with the belt...

    This car has been a bellend to me today, Not happy with her haha. Started the morning, made my square washer, upper engine mount all done ? On to the gearbox mount, top nut was just twisting the rubber so I got angry and took the entire mount off the box/car to do it. Sorted it though...

    I'm just sanding down a normal washer man. Probably wouldn't move, you'd assume if it was an issue Vibra would supply you with one, but still... rather it be there just encase than not.

    So, waaaay back in 2015 when I had the belts done by @MicKPM he advised I changed the upper engine mount. Prooobably should have listened to him ? And this... really renault? Both gone anyway, new one in, kinda. Not happy with the possibility of movement in these mounts, with the...

    Didn't get half as much done this B/H weekend as I'd planned, did a few bits though. Saturday @Dr Jekyll took a photo of my clio I was inspired to get a move on and get some trackdays done, Maybe doing one in Dec, will see. Sunday came, it rained, Sunday went. Monday came, it wasn't...

    Cliosport festival - CSF TAXIS!

    No shorts rule makes me mad ? It'll ruin my then 9 week streak of wearing only shorts. Hoping to go out as a passenger on the day though. Want to see what some different setups are like out on track. Turbo/ITB/LSD etc etc to help me come to a decision as what to go with on my own. May buy...

    Any ideas on re-painting it? Not sure on the best route to take. Spend ages taping it up/cutting around it then spraying? Touch up pen? Very very fine brush? May use a Porsche colour ? Friend is doing the wheel for me, not expecting it to be perfect as she is learning still. But I'm confident...

    Another small update Sabelt wheel arrived, previous owner thought attempting to paint the Sabelt logo with nail varnish was a sound idea. Execution was erm.. well.... So 1st thing I've done is remove that mess Boss came with 2 sets of bolts, wasn't happy with either so have just ordered...

    Still undecided on colours for it tbh, yellow stitching to match the yellow sabelt? Yellow centre line srip at top? Stick to silver stitching like my current? All black leather? Perf on side panels? Who knows? haha Was raining, got bored, designed battery tray. Will probably make a few...

    Another very small update... Bought some Vibra-technics mounts off a chap on here, they were painted black which I wasn't a fan of so I stripped them back and gave them a slightly better finish Wondering why I painted the gearbox one if you never see it? Decided I'm going to relocate...
