So nice to see pictures of them with the original stripes on. I’ve not seen one with the stripes on for donkeys. So long that I’d forgotten they did come with stripes! Lol

I bet 200Hp and a diff makes a cracking 1*2 set up. Awesome work.

I’d just go to eurocarparts and buy a reputable brand, i think they even do an OE equivalent bilstein B4 iirc

Fantastic car!

If that was me, I’d just drill a tiny hole either side of the crack and stick a zip tie through it. You can’t see that part of the bumper when the bonnet is down anyway.

As above. I’d rather the best of one model than the worse of another.

He’s had it a year already!? ? it sounds like nothings progressed either? How do you keep track of how many days labour are being charged etc? I think it’s time to sit down with him, as what’s been said above.

What CC is the bike?

What an awesome trip. I think reading a road trip and looking at stunning pictures like above is my favourite thing on a forum. It makes me want to go straight onto google maps and get planning another myself. Can you give us more info about the bike, what mileage/mpg per tank you can do on...

This has made me laugh a lot more than it should have.

As above, it’s still running. Just keep topping it up. If you’ve got spare cash, I’d just buy a lump and leave it under a cover until you need it. Could tidy the spare engine up slowly. Do the belt on it etc.

There’s no guts in them. As long as it’s moving without smoking or spluttering I wouldn’t worry about it.

@youngarthur do you have any pics?

Love this! Can you give some more info on the conversion please? Can you use the Kangoo fuel tank/pump etc? Edit: Assuming you started off with a petrol engine.

A45 hands down for a useable car. Utterly mind blowing things. Exige is amazing, but you've got to be in the mood for it. Right weather etc.

RSDirect have 2 red edition new RS's for sale

I have a genuine cup splitter, it's broken into 3 pieces. Is it worth paying to get it repaired?

Might be worth having the clutch changed too, while the engine is out.

Really enjoying watching this car progress. Keep the updates coming.

I've driven one, it was brilliant.

I think if your looking at freeing up money, turbocharging a Clio isn't the best option - it'll be eating your money in repairs. Over a reliable Megane. You could get a second set of wheels for the Megane cheap enough and put part worn track tyres on them.

I would just keep the Megane if your going to turbo a Clio.

At least it's in safe hands now and the turn around should be pretty quick!

What colour?

We're all keen for updates! :D

Looking forward to this being updated :)

Or buy my lump.. fit that and enjoy the car, and build a spare high spec engine up on the side out of yours haha

Simple. Sort the compression and continue. It doesn't need to go further down the money pit route IMO. Standard base/internals is reliable. Sorting the compression is peanuts in comparison and then just get it back on the RR for mapping.

I'd offer him £1K and do as above.

Tips; 1) label all the wiring loom, so you know exactly what goes where on re-fit. 2) when you take the bolts out and remove a part, but the bolts back in the area they came out of. So easy to mix them up. 3) your going to need a tray for coolant and gearbox oil when you pull the drive shafts...
