Yep, most people are guinea pigs for this. in the last 15 years, we would have some evidence if it was doing anything harmful.

Gearbox doesn't change what shaft is required. It's the hubs and wishbones that do iirc.

Buy engine and clutch. Host BBQ. Invite CS. Watch the magic happen

Give @Scrooge a shout.

Cracking shape on that. Cars are nice too. (Come on CS, 18 posts FFS).

Second hand engine, get someone to fit it cheap. bingo. £500 all in. If you want to safeguard, buy a known all good one from a trusted member. New clutch and belt kit. £750/800 all in.

I think the front discs will be too big for the carriers on the rear. That said, anything can be made to fit, just depends on how much fabrication you want to do. For the effort involved, i'd just use the front calipers TBH.

@Cub. @MarcJP @Luke Pint one evening?

What a beaut.

Local friends. (Chertsey for me)

It's easy when you know how, and more importantly have the right tools. If you were local, I'd have lent a hand. 2-3 hours to remove, touch longer to put back.

Can you not fix the leak with the pipe in place?

Yep, fiddly fucker tbh

If you're planning on doing a fair bit to your Clio, well worth investing in one of these mate: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HEAVY-DUTY-24V-1-2-DRIVE-CORDLESS-IMPACT-WRENCH-RATCHET-24-VOLT-/322124073706?hash=item4b00174aea:g:RSAAAOSw5dNWo96p I couldn't be without mine now.

Those brake bolts won't be rusty on the inside. They'll just be bloody tight and have loctite on them... Don't need to take them off unless you're swapping the discs... To get the caliper/pads off, undo the little 13mm slider bolts. You'll need to lock off the slider anchors with a 17mm socket...

New wheels make it.

You wont notice the difference. Or at least, i didnt.

Yep, say goodbye to that engine.

Yep, BMW's are fine. If this day works the same as most, then they start the day on RWD, move to FWD for the majority of the day, then do any remaining RWD cars at the end of the day...

Lol, i'm not being bitchy, just seems a strange choice. Someone taps him first corner of race 1, could end his weekend? Each to their own.. They look quality.

What a guy using custom wheels on a racecar. What happens if someone takes his too sharp a line on the first corner? lol

Yep, service continues for the rest of the month. Just follow the instructions above and your bill will more than half. lol

My eyes can't tell what's real and what isn't. Then i realised none of it is real. lol

Great work so far. Making it look easy!

Nah, if it breaks, i'll break it for spares and make money. lol

I don't mind if it goes bang or not. I have other cars to use.

Why not? No chance am i going to spend £500 on my Ph1 shed that's worth £7-800. I'll run it until it goes bang, then stick a £250 second hand engine in. It's currently 18 months overdue on it's cambelt, and going strong. (;

Motoring equivalent of ordering a Vindaloo in front of the boys, then crying in the whatsapp group the next day.

@Christopher. is your man. He'll have a set available soon
