No chrome updates on Note 9 yet.

Started cleaning a few bits up on the engine. Cam cover, breather plate and a couple of other bits got a once over. Etch primed Bedliner paint ftw Oil filler cap looks a bit bright might need to tone it down a little :LOL: Planned to build engine up last week but was a lifter short. Start...

Oem Renault. Ive broke a few sets over the years though.

It is indeed based on a super5. Everything gtt related bolts straight on Theres a load of pics on my thread for my old Kangoo from the recent efi conversion & freshen up its had. Felt good taking it back out on track again as not been out since 2016. It actually corners now with the quaife...

Indeed its a strange one, ill probably have the engine and box out over winter and will arrange a once over/inspection, not sure who rebuilt it last time. Not ruling out cvs or mounts yet, i had a quick look earlier and my 1000 mile old vibratechnics rear mount is starting to delaminate so...

Will inspect the driveshafts again and see if any play. They were in good nick when i looked at them a few weeks back when i had the gearbox off, but never say never. Will be disappointed if its showing issues already.

Evening all Not clio related but same lsd so hope its ok to post. Give my Renault Extra a shakedown at Croft on Bank hol Monday, first time ive used it in anger really with the quaife lsd. The gearbox is a rebuilt jb3 with diff fitted at the same time, approx 1000 miles on it, mostly low load...

Was it spitting fluid out of the cap? Flush and replace the pas fluid for new, run it the minimum mark and you wont have an issue.

Same issues on chrome on a samsung note 9, press back or return and the keyboard dissappears.

Shez said she has all the pics from the advert, if you pm me your email address will get her to send them over. Still waiting to seal the deal on the new one but should be coming at some point ;) Might move my gtt on whilst waiting.

Updates Been looking for a 6 speed shifter for a Kangoo and they are quite thin on the ground as most are 5 speed. As its a dash mounted shifter needed the proper one really. Sniffed one out on ebay in Latvia, off a lhd model. Was fairly expensive but stuck an offer in which was accepted. Took...

Glad its gone to a good home enjoy mate, a pleasure to do business with :) drive looks empty with a car missing ! Shez is buzzing that it is still called Bumble. I always planned on sorting the exhaust out and giving the yellow interior bits a super clean but never got round to it. Found some...

Ahh ballache, i did hear about dvla being hit and miss. Logbook was in my name on the one i done.

I do exactly the same balljoint splitter and impact, go with a bang sometimes. Impact gun and spring compressors is the risky one:ROFLMAO:

Looks mint, all the right bits. Plate should come straight off onto retention, i done one recently and vehicle was sorn for a couple of years/no mot.

That V8 Cygnet looks mad, what did that do on the vmax? Interesting to hear about the vbox accuracy, ive got one here, used it at Brunters years agoin my gtt 131mph vmax :LOL:

Rear beam fitting time. Best check wheels fit i guess. Ahh thats a no then, fouls the handbrake cable and the fecking centre of wheel fouls the caliper Measured up the hub centre protrusion and its 20mm, so ordered 10mm slip on Pms spacers to suit meg2 and longer bolts to suit. Wait a few...

As above id would be looking at the calipers to see if they are sticking, change fluid etc. Have the calipers got the anti rattle shims in? if yes bin them, and make sure the pads have a mm or so of play so they do not bind in the caliper when hot...

As above door switches at fault.

Updates Meg 250 has been sold, its gone to a great home though. Little bit sad to see it go as had very light use off us in 2.5 years we had it. Already got eyes on another car to replace it, which will be epic ;) A few pics of it all cleaned up, great looking car. Thanks for reading!

Cheers mate. So dissapointed with the mounts, will never buy anything from them again. Im looking at motorsport style mounts to replace them.

How come 16mm spacers up front, is ph1 track narrower than ph2 cup? I didnt run spacers at all on the front, was not possible.

Cheers mate, miss the old kangoo a little bit to be fair. Mine was on cup 172 suspension up front. rear arch lips were rolled flat, gaz clio 16v shocks on the back, drum beam with 10mm spacers. I initially had cup turinis on et38.5 from memory, caught so clearanced the arches, added -2.5deg...

I used to put mine on 2 wheels on the apex on track and no rubbing, apart from destroying the os bumpstop at Blyton on the large kerb at the ump :LOL: Was hilarious, miss flogging it round the track

Mine was ok on cup shocks and mark fish eibach springs, you need the bumpstops fitted or it will catch. Best off spacing the front wing out a bit on the lower mounting point, and shave the arch lip. -2.5deg neg camber helped too, assuming you have plenty dialled in with it used on track.

Proper road trip (y) Low 50mpg sounds about right at 80mph, need to be under 70 for 60’s really. I wouldnt worry too much about a bit of oil consumption over 3k miles, providing its not totally dry. Mine uses a bit too, but not excessive, i think Ren say a ltr over 1000miles is...

@Conor L will last a while now you have treated the rust, proper job (y)

Progress update on the chode/noddy van/shortarse. Basically nothing has happened but have gathered loads of parts. Enough to build up the new engine. Found the rare 250 inlet manifold. Need to make an adaptor plate to suit the r26 throttle body. Fuel rail will have the reg removed, inlet and...

Updates Ac is still working awesome (touch wood) have stayed nice and cool in the current heatwave. No regrets at all spending a small fortune recomissioning it. My mate was breaking a dci so robbed the front fogs as mine were knackered. Repaired the damaged o/s rear bumper bracket from...

Looked like a nail when up for sale cheap. Now an expensive nail, 5k with what looks to be rust on the o/s arch, high mileage, rough bodywork, prob loads of other stuff unseen:LOL:
