Mick at Diamond answered a lot of questions on this subject here https://cliosport.net/threads/climate-control-convert.698732/ although it was to do the opposite of what you want to do. You should be able to pick through it ok.

Do you have friends/family down there or was it just one off the bucket list?

My old BG used to tramline badly. The steering would have a mind of its own at times, pretty scary. I’d replaced all the bushes, including rack bushes but no different. I then switched tyres as it had Yokohama AD08Rs to Michelin PS3 195/16/45 and it was like a brand new car. In my case I know...

Mixed feelings on the LT’s. I was tempted to get some before picking up some TD Pro Race 1.2s. They remind me of Braid racing wheels. I like the colour though. It suits your car.

Part number 0258006046. These are mine which I bought from my local Renault dealership but it’s effectively a Bosch sensor.

Yeah keep us in the loop :)

It’s a 20 year old car that’s had some money spent on it to make it more track capable. Engine dynamics are a reputable engine builder. LSD is always a nice thing to have on a circuit. Listed at £6,500. It’ll have its bodywork problems both externally and internally like any 20 year old car...

Just behind the front passenger wheel arch - see arrow.

Thanks James. Cheaper than the alternative I guess.

Thank you NickReilly063 😂 I think It’s time I went back to plain old Jon 🤔

Took a trip over to see @Brigsy this morning to turn the seat airbags off via Clip. Top bloke and very knowledgeable. Great to know he’s only on my doorstep too. Thanks Jon 🙏🏻 #Legend In other news I’ve lost my flippin locking wheel nut key. I’ve literally turned the garage and house upside...

When I got the missus to help me bleed one of mine, I'm shouting "push the pedal then". She says I am, I am. I'm like no you're not because there's no fluid coming through. I go around to the front and say "show me" and she's pushing the clutch in :ROFLMAO: I'm like "push the f**cking brake...

Nice of you to say but mine’s looking filthy underneath compared to yours. 🙈

Just stunning 👏🏻

If anybody’s daft enough to jump in with an old boomer then crack on. I take no responsibility for what may or may not happen.

Just list without doing the belts and adjust the price by £1,000. These cars have more issues to be concerned with than just the belts. But I agree with @The Crumb Master in that if you're going to do it, get a proper reputable specialist like AW Motorworks, Mick at Diamond, Beaniesport et-al...

Let me think about that for a minute 🤔

It’s great to be back out in these amazing little cars. Couldn’t help but take a pic as I was heading home for the evening. She got her 3rd wash since I bought her, but it‘s desperately in need of a proper detail. Going to get her booked in soon.

Yes it‘s a very good car.

The Sabelt Renault Sport ones are very nice. This is the 330 mm version - https://volantech.co.uk/products/sabelt-renaultsport-steering-wheel

Get in touch with @Darryl_1983 as he's selling my old BG 182. I sold it to him without doing the belts and he's subsequently had Mick at Diamond do them a few months back.

Wish I’d have known that beforehand 🤦🏻‍♂️

Yeah I agree. Never had a genuine one TBH. They feel brittle in comparison to the Fabia. I was lucky to get a brand new unused one as they’re NLA. I’ll just have to be careful.

Cheers Jon. I’ll drop you a message tomorrow reference seat airbags.

Thanks James

In between the seats I did a few small jobs which were equally important. To me anyway. I’d acquired a few genuine parts like a rear wiper blade, aerial mast, badge grommets and front splitter. Mast on. The rear tailgate had no grommets so the previous owner had wrapped some foil around...

Thanks. I bought them off DMFX in Darlington. A lad I know sourced them.

Cheers Nick. I really want a Trophy in Racing Blue 😂 I’ll probably swap the subframes though as with the Jon Foz x-low frames, the seats don’t centre which is already doing my nut in.

Thanks. I got them from Universal seat belts via EBay. 25cm. Here’s the link https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/152323944828?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=bLFICTY7Qp2&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=Unwx-nP3Rjy&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

That’s the seats done. Much easier the second time around. Only the seat belts to swap over but CBA as I’ve felt a little flat this week. Thank you for reading.
