Any of them due an aux belt. Your the only man who used genuine bits on them anymore and I’ve got a Renault aux belt kit I can’t get shut of 😂 as for the mapping I’m intrigued to see how it goes!

The nuts are a specific thread and hard to come by. I’ve got the part number for them written down somewhere. They were nearly £2 a nut when I ordered some 6 months ago so wouldn’t be surprised if they have gone up. I’ve also used the bmw style plastic ones before and had no issues

Love reading the updates on this. Also those Renault wheel bags! Where does one come across such things!

Pms have them in stock 👍🏻 https://www.pure-motorsport.co.uk/febi-bilstein-sump-clio-2-rs.html

Engines not out yet. And with the messing it would take you’d be better getting one from euro or eBay 👍🏻 @AIRBORNEGOD

@ryancook1993 Use the genuine Renault tools to lock the crank, and then the 197 8 degree timing tool to accurately time the cams up. The rest of the timing is done no differently. Just the horse shoe tool is replaced by the 197 timing tool 👍🏻 Hope that helps to explain.

Use the standard Renault timing tools. But instead of using the Renault horse shoe tool. Use a 197 timing tool. 7 or 8 degrees depending on how you want it and mappers preference. Where are you based. I have the 197 tool you can rent. Cheers

Are you taking bookings for headlight corrections 👀😂

Looking for some replacement nuts for the engine bay studs. they hold the fuse box on and also seem to do the bulkhead matting and some heatshields. anyone know of a suitable replacement. Cheers

Yep an OEM drip tray. @t90_lle looking really tidy! You must be well pleased with it all!

Always worth something! Best bet is to get in touch with one of the people mentioned above 👍🏻

Yeah the reality is they get bombarded with messages. And in most cases it’s people thinking they can wait a week and get more. So probably end up replying to the same person over again for the same cat 🤷‍♂️

Care to explain for other users?

Grinspeed in leyland always comes highly recommended!

@MLB I’ve come to a bit of a full stop with development as the car I was using for “road testing” and miles is currently off the road. In terms of where I’m upto, V1 was a success in terms of reducing play. I then sent a revised drawing to the machine shop and had a prototype made up for V2...

I believe the crankshaft is slightly different in terms of weight. I’m sure someone else will be along to confirm or deny this but if I recall there is a difference between ph1, ph2 and 197/200. This shouldn’t affect anything in terms of a standard rebuild though!

@K_McDermott

Any luck @Billy Smalls maybe post up a video. Does the car try to start at all? Clicks etc?

Oulton was good! Solid day with no dramas. The bushes that I had made I’m 90% happy with but there’s improvements to be made. There’s an immediate initial difference in shift quality which is good. Changes have been made to the design but I’m currently isolating with covid so that’s causing a...

@minimental what width and offset are the scenic steels? I’ve got some et42 and 6,5” on my daily van and they sit well with 20mm spacers front and rear. Interested to hear if yours are different 👍🏻

@Yorkshire Pudding cold diesel smoke above everything!

They any better on fuel without the cat in with it being more free flowing? What they like noise wise? 👍🏻 Might have just given myself another job to do!

Last kangoo one I got rid of I got £77 for. But an earlier kangoo was only £30. Swings and roundabouts! That 225 cat will get you something nice for Christmas no doubt!

Just to keep things updated. Bushes have been collected from the machine shop. Fitting this week followed by a trackday at oulton park at the weekend so a nice mix of road and track miles. 👍🏻 Hope to be able to update further with positive news! Cheers

Due to the leverage being different and the BMS being modified and extended

You could put it in a clio housing. It will fit technically but it wouldn’t be any good.

@MLB from what I can see there is a couple of different linkage types. I have two different linkages here and neither look like the one on the video. Using the ones I have here, I can see where improvements can be made however and have just sent a drawing to the machine shop for a prototype to...

If its just the centre bush you can get away with, leave it with me. Possibly got a couple at home! 🤞🏻

@K_McDermott did his the other week. Managed to source parts from Renault 👍🏻

Didn’t @Mickb fit it to his yellow van? Or am I thinking of something else
