    Clutch kit change at home

    If you're taking it out the bottom, you don't have to remove the rad, etc. But i always like to leave plenty of room, and whipping calipers off etc takes 30 seconds.

    Clutch kit change at home

    Yeah, there's a few bits like this. It's pretty tight in the bay, so little bits like this that only take a minute, I tend to do to make it easier.

    Clutch kit change at home

    Out the top is my preference, but f you have a ramp/air tools, subframe down is probably quicker. The clips for the subframe bolts always snap for me, and that's a bit of a headache. List of parts to remove: Battery Airbox front bumper slam panel arch liners upper inlet drain coolant rad & fan...

    Clutch kit change at home

    Yeah, no need to remove the box from the bay for a clutch change. Just have to make sure the clutch plate is 100% in the middle or the box won't go back on. Really, it all depends on how handy you are with the spanners, but it's not hugely difficult. Oh, and if you've never done it before, get...

    clio 172 replace starter motor

    Possible without removing exhaust manifold, but it's fiddly. Airbox out. Battery out, upper inlet manifold off. Sm heatshield off. 13mm copper nut holds the loom to the SM. Also a tiny spade connector. 3x 13mm bolts at far side of the gearbox hold the sm on. Should wiggle out. Trickiest bit...

    Yep, under tray off. Block of wood between the jack and sump.

    engine mount replacement

    Jack is best because it keeps it level. Engine crane will make it wonky. Isn't any quicker doing them at the same time tbh. Upper engine mount is 10 mins work. Upper gearbox is 20 mins,

    Ultimate weight reduction

    No offence taken Princess. If this conversation was down the pub, I'd still have the same view. Chasing grams is utterly pointless for a trackday car, racing I can see the point of as time matters, but for trackdays, it's all about fun. It's about having a good day. Ultimately, the only...

    So you're a fat b*****d, and stripping a car is easier than putting down the fork?

    Ultimate weight reduction

    Why is making it as light as possible the be all and end all? Racing, I can understand. Trackdays, like f**k does 10kgs here or there make a difference.

    Lemforder are OEM on Peugeot and Citroen, so plenty decent quality too.

    Toyosport exhaust?

    Weird, because on a 106/Saxo, they fit brilliantly.

    If I had a nickel for everytime i'd seen a fat CS'er with a stripped car, i'd be a f**king millionaire.

    If you're username is an indication of how old you are, you're much too old for crazes like this.

    Toyosport exhaust?

    General consensus is avoid Toyosport like the plague, But you never listen to anything we say anyway, so crack on, buy it, complain it's knackered after 3 months and buy another exhaust.
