Love it, colour looks awesome

Picked up a Snes cheap and local lastnight off fb. Starwing is s**t, cant even remember it tbh haha ! Bought a few cheap games off ebay, streetfighter 2 etc. Reliving my youth :LOL:

High leakoff can cause a non start, this always starts but takes a couple more cranks from cold. Ive noticed 2/3 clicks of the ign before crank and it fires up fine, so may be a glow plug or 3 off. Ill do them and get this code off and go from there.

I can imagine no control of the boost pressure at all when cranking it up with that pissy little hole behind the w/g penny. Still quite a way to go until the lower end ching stuff compares to garrett. The mamba stuff looks ok, but not cheap !

Quick update Blue dci had a black mirror on the N/S, ordered a cheap 2nd hand replacement off ebay. Bit dissapointed as they sent a shite one which clearly was not the one pictured as has no external temp sensor in and cracked. I never expect brand new when buying used parts, but some places...

Quick update Washed Kangoo after Croft to get the shite off, jacked up and give it a once over, no issues to report. Changed brake pads over to ds2500 for road use, as the mintex are terrible from cold so not suited to road use. Feel like blocks of wood lol. Mintex m1177 look like they have...

Cheers mate, Its been cavity waxed by previous owner and had some coating sprayed underneath. I removed a bit of it and painted a few areas with Por15 a few years ago, needs topping up now though. Ill probably use Dintrinol this time, will keep you updated. If somebody can hook me up with an...

Indeed, some must be decent quality its just a gamble which one. I know a few people who have made loads of power on ching spec turbos on the hondas, treated them as disposable as so cheap compared to a garrett or similar.

The colour would suit a sport well. I may do it to this one eventually will see ! Should really grab a full kit whilst they are ten a penny and get it in stock.

Its took a bit of graft but shes a Renault hoarder now. Wont let me have a beavertail recovery truck though still working on that :cautious::LOL:

Id bet my bottom dollar most of the clio turbo conversions use the ching spec cast manifold, rebranded as theirs at a fair markup. Same with the turbos, i cant believe a lot of the low boost conversions use cheap no brand turbos. Just check the faces are true and linish as necessary, ive seen...

Last one i done for a quick tart up lasted about 2 month, never again bodyshop do it from now on lol.

As a temp repair that will tidy it up, but without cutting the rust out fully and letting new clean metal in, i can pretty much guarantee that will be bubbling in 6 month. Been there and done that in my youth :LOL:

Bargain if not knock off copys

Id say 99% of them leave a drop of oil without a sump guard on. Box out and strip down to repair sadly

As weather was still dry, went for a blast over to Whitby. No issues to report, just blasting along with the tape player blasting the oldskool out. Great little car, need to make more effort to get it out and used ! Thanks for reading !

Next stop mot station Still looks clean underneath for a 28year old car, need to give the powdercoated bits a wipe down but apart from that no work required Passed no issues at all, 25 miles since its last mot September 2017 ! Taxed straight after mot, weather had dried up too. Needed to give...

Washed the dust off before mot, BH auto foam, followed by 2 bucket wash, and dried. Gtt looks so small compared to the rest of the cars ! Typically 5 mins after drying it pissed down, just before i was about to set off. Good beadage though. First time its been out in the rain in years.

Got up early today and started work on the gtt. First job was to flush the coolant. It still looked nice and green but noticed a bit of sedament in header tank, flushed full system with hosepipe, rad and heater matrix thoroughly. s**t that came out when back flushing ! Refilled with fresh...

It wont cause any issues binning it, but worth having on a road car to silence the agricultural sound of the f4r

Will last for thousands of miles after the works are done, well worth doing. Looking forward to updates (y)

Itll be the selector seal giving a whiff. As long as not pissing out oil it will be sound, standard jb/jc leak

The clio2 is an epic car for the money. Ive been using my orange dci daily and done 500 miles this week already, 64.4mpg its running on fresh air, handles good, goes well enough and not a bad place to be. Cant ask for any more really for a cheap motor ! Small update from last weekend, got given...

Gtt back together after turbo swap. Ready for mot tomorrow, 14 miles since its last mot in September 2017 ! Going to flush the coolant for fresh type d and change the oil tomorrow. The oil currently in it still looks golden but will still change it due to time off road. That sweet sound of C1j...

Samsung pass is quite good on the samsung phones, i have it on my note9.

Ive had tons of those emails demanding bitcoin as they know your password, stating some old password, and all that bollox. I read into it and its to do with a data leak in the past, ebay or whatever. I too could do with something to manage my passwords, as they are all over the shop now

Easy enough to sort if the rest of the shell is decent.

Cheers mate. Never used ebc on a clio, have experienced them on the R5gtt’s though and not great. Stick to the good brands, ferodo etc (y)

All in all had an awesome day. No issues at all just in and out all day..cant wait for Blyton next Thanks for reading !

Mega day at Croft on Monday in the Kangoo. In and out all day no issues, driving was a bit rusty in the morning as 8 month since last trackday but got the pedal down in the afternoon. The Mintex M1177 pads were awesome, no fade and f**k loads of power, locked it up a couple of times late...
