Car stripped down.
Few dents filled😅
Thats the rust of th archs gone also just surface. Lucky!
Stay tuned to see the full out come.
I pick it up some times around the 19th but I am missing it so much🥲😪 just wanna kick it's...
So the next day (1st July) was EFI day, when I bought this lump I was told it was running 260hp as it was. It was a stock block , apparently efi tuned . Only had paper work from engine dynamics for stock map so I took it as hearsay.
Finally got on the rollers after my brother his made nice...
Obviously this job didn't go without its problems and if any bolts/studs where to snap it was definitely Going to be these.. so I fixed it :-) much better.
Quick check of the paper work as I was curious one night how much I've spent, anyway you don't wanna know I mean I don't wanna know🤦♂️🤣...
Where there's a Clio there's something to do👀 ha my next job was cleaning behind the rear number plate as I planned to have the place on magnetic strips so I can pull it off for cleaning and switching to show plates.
If you ask me it was hard work shifting that s**t, but it came up well...
Hi all! Just looking at this thread been such a long time since I added to it so, no better time like the present.
Looking where we left off!
So I thought I would treat her first to some fresh nice blue seat belts, done by KolorKoncepts who are litterally on my door step! There was 2 shades of...
Hi all have a little niggle with my car.
Bought car running with low boost, took that from this car and fitted to mine. I made some light changes so I'm not sure if this is effecting it , changes are Mégane head gasket, ported inlets. Bigger intake.
This issue is when idling it's dropped...
So its that time to update the thread!
Ive few bits ordered last week and finally turned up!
Got these all fitted and i was so eager to get it test driven! Ive missed driving for this thing so much anyway. Last job was setting up the PMS which was a bit of a ball ache on the floor but again...
Which means there's only a few bits left to do!
Set up gear linkage!
Fit front brakes
Fit the last couple of intercooler hoses get the back tyres swapped over (other waiting to go on)
Give it one full check over and we should be good to go! 😁😁😁
Finally it was completed with fresh belts, water pump, oil filter.
Once that was wrapped up, I did get the steering rack cleaned and painted with new ends but again can't find the photos.
Missed some photos out in-between here but we finally got it droped into the car and all the pipe work and...
After the block was painted I moved onto the bottom end and fitted the ARP Rod bolts which I had to buy again due to being sold the wrong ones.
Sump back on with fresh gasket and got rid of the awful torx head bolts
Back to the head, got a Megane MLS head gasket fitted also photos must be on...
So I finally got my brother to give me a hand with this loading it onto the car back home to put onto the engine stand. Let's say, sh*t about to get sexy!
First I started by removing the head, this is my far the tightest nut I ever have met to date... Even my impact gun couldn't do it. I'm...
Following on with the hubs-
I then bought the intercooler back and spiced that up abit!
Not the best and wish I turned out better but :&( wasn't as easy as I thought....
Few other little modifications with the shifter and got the hubs fitted...
Time for my favourite part ; the engine...
So I've not updated this thread in a whole we're a whole lot closer than we was before. So starting from where we left off, I got the gearbox back home to clean it up and all the other bits this was covered in shitty paint from last time I did it. Cleaned it up and lacquered it. Loooked very...
Update, let's start with update #1! Under sealing, managed to find bit of time to get the arch liners out and clean it all up behind there, got brand-new arch liners on the way just missing one side of the rear half, found them all with a bit of digging, last ones £70 delivered for 3 parts...
Thanks mate, I may of missed a few bits in-between but you get the gist. Yes, amazing find! This as always been top contender for one of my favourite colours so I was so excited when I found it! Can't wait to update this thread when I manage to get some more done! Weathers abit poor atm.
