HOW MUCH ???!!!! Lol
im still not convinced that is the issue as it happens when you let the clutch out standing still, I'm sure it's a swing mount but I'll get under it myself and have a poke about !
Well good news is the Cambelt kit aux belt kit and water pump have been done
downside front shocker is shot apprently :/ oh well just see on Adams r26 bits list £50.50 so not to bad really !
was expecting it cost a lot more so happy days !
Next is fit the brakes they did comment on how...
Options are break it for bits and suck the mop
or
put a engine in and sell it and suck the mop
personally weigh up what it owes you, what you'll get in bits, and what you will get sold with engine and see which is best
I'm on there already :) have a project thread up and running too lol :D
Youll have to let me know ! I'm looking at about 270 I think , more than that seams to get expensive for a daily ! :)
Cheers mate
My thoughts too mate not really much activity over there but a little bit!
There is a centre pipe mod /remove I've heard about it, but think I'll go for a stainless cat back when I can afford :)
Haha no anal at all mate , if you have chance have a look through my previous 182 build , I'm pretty similar , mechanic by trade too, so I am pretty similar ;)
both V6 and R26R are great rare cars ! Don't think you'll go wrong with either 2bh !
Thank you mate ! How you finding the 172? I...
Yesterday was spent advising my friend on spraying bits on his type R, he had some extra milano Red , so I thought I'd do the meganes engine cover,
i arent finished yet, in going to spray the raised up bits gloss black and get some decals but this was it placed on yesterday !
its a good motor dam sight better now I've owned it for a few weeks and started to get my way, have bits falling out my ass to fit and it's finally been cleaned
loads happier with it! Still miss the Clio like crazy for its fun and readiness, plus the noise , the megane is very quiet which...
It's 16 if that's the number on the side
195 is the width of the tyre , in MM
50 is the sidewall measure in percent so 50% of the 195 width
16 is the inches of the wheel
Well as a surprise today guess what came ??
normally I'd be straight into work to fit them, but I'm not well :/ so they will have to wait till next weekend ! :(
Should do yes as long as they are both size wise the same ie 2.25 inch iirc
and the decat has the olive and isn't sleeved , although I'm sure the KTR system has the bit you can remove to sleeve them , so you should be fine either way
Massive thank you to G172 ! This guys amazing , ordered yesterday dinner time here this afternoon !! Lol
just waiting on the braided lines to come then on they go :)
Spoken to G172 , have managed to get a set of Brembo HC discs and Mintex M1144 brake pads ordered this afternoon !
Also spoke to my friend who has confirmed he can make me a set of Braided brake hoses, I had my last set of him and they were awesome, he's also managed to make them in red to...
End caps have landed :D
Goes for Cambelt water pump aux kit next friday the 11th will be happy once this is sorted
Another thing on the list of to do , front brakes , quite desperately as well, spoke to G172 and after much deliberation, think im going to order a set of Brembo High Carbon...
Cant say I've had similar problems but understand what you mean, is the car standard ? Maybe a 98 Ron map will help? Evens the power and brings the torque in better imo, pulls a lot better from lower revs , so may help with the lack of umph low down in third
Rear brakes on clios do very little at the best of times mate, id personally stick to OEM , they are normally perfectly up to the job unless you drive on track like a hooligan !
each to there own though,
mine had brembo HC discs and pads on the front and braided lines , standard rear step up...
Another item turned up today, the wiperblades have been driving me mental, they have gone dry and hard, everytime they were on they screeched and drove me mental!
Also the paint had come off the the mental was rotten simple things but needed doing
Before
After
little things make the...
Live mapping is RStuning imo, or do it yourself with a RS tuner, if you need help or advice I did mine with no issues following the guide on hear !
If you struggle pop around mate
Well i finally got round to cleaning the megane , its been minging for a while
I snow foamed as seen before, Clay barred the car never had one so bad as this lol , and then used the Autobrite Hellshine Abyss paste sealant
Ive had the Abyss for a while i was going to use it on the clio but...
Kwik fit in this instance are right , if the car is presented as a obvious car modified for racing ie 1 bucket seat roll cage no dash , then yes you don't need the airbag
however if it's a standard Clio sport , and the airbags removed for a wheel with no airbag it is a fail on MOT regardless if...
Cheers mate :) I do like the standard whistle noise but just missing a exhaust lol my 182 had a full k tec unsilenced with decat, so this is making me feel the R26 is even quieter lol !
Very ry impressed with that RStuning exhaust though, and I like the ktec 3 inch one so will see what prices...
