Arrrggghhhh! Found a crack in the sump now, could explain a few things! New gasket on order and I need to pinch the sump off my spare engine. Russ

Ordered some bits from Renault which arrived today. Crank shaft oil seal, gearbox 5th gear cover and seal. Also pinched the proper Renault tool for doing the crank seal from a renault tech i know while I was there. Crank seal fitted You'll see it sits proud of the casting which is the...

Nice report sonny. Just a thought but with so many gen90's around it might be beneficial to try some else's ecu with your map on it and try and rule out the hardware side at least. Russ

Might have just been the early laps tbh. It sounds good though, especially when heel and toeing it on the down change. You out at cadwell? Russ

Yeah I know that now mate, shame I didn't know before. I've definitely fitted it too deep when looking at my spare engine. I've ordered another (genuine) seal and have pinched the proper tool from my Renault tech friend so take 2 coming this week! Russ

Glad the car went well James. Seems to go well but were you short shifting? Didn't sound like you were using all the revs but might be because it's charged that it seems that way, not sand bagging were ya! ;) Russ

Tested at Oulton and then Raced it at Rockingham mate and it was far better than it's ever been, I'd say it's probably on the slack side now but it's a lot more user friendly and far easier to find gears, no missed gears this time! Russ

Nothing to see here. Russ

Did someone say Deja vu? Russ

'Fraid so Tony, call it a friendly re-debut present, I'll be back at cadwell (hopefully!) Russ

I decided to change the crank shaft oil seal for 'piece of mind' while it was in bits, I shouldn't have bothered as its p1ssing out of there now! Russ

Decided to put a sale ad up on here, have a look at http://www.cliosport.net/threads/61k-mile-2-owner-ph1-172-£2100ono.776180/ For more pics etc. russ

Well it's all gone Pete Tong I've got more oil leaks than I had before, Thruxton entry withdrawn FFS! Russ

Please keep over to the left @Tony Hunter #15 is ready for action! Just need to run it around the workshop and give it a spanner check and we're all ready for thruxton. Russ

Cheers mate, chances are if I'm getting them done the blast shop at thursby will probably do them, expensive but a proper job. Russ

Shafts to go in along with all fluids and we're done. Russ

In a bit, down a bit! Russ

Well seen as in supposed to be racing next week at thruxton I suppose I should put the car back together. It's Sunday 16.43pm and this is how it sits, best get cracked on! Russ

Gave the Ph1 a good clean today and it's come up really nicely. Still needs a good clay and polish but it's getting there. Restored the headlights as they were looking a bit yellow too. Spent some time under the bonnet as I like the engine bay to be tidy. In 2 minds whether to sell it...

Nice one Ian, seen the results. Russ

Sounds scary, count me out! Russ

Bent up from the heat when welding maybe? Can see why they'd deliberately be bent the wrong way. Russ

Wouldn't be so bad if they'd have left some space to get a decent inlet length in. Russ

Sorry to see its chucked a rod James, will you be out at thruxton? Russ

It's left some pics off, air temp sensor bracket Motor with loom fitted Russ

'Box is back! New input shaft seal fitted + 3/4th gear selector fork. Crack tested the casing too just to eliminate it as a source of leaks. Will be moving away from my tried and tested Silkolene Syn Trans Race gearbox oil as we just seem to be experiencing excessive wear. Gonna stick a new...

Went for the switch panel eh mate, should help keep it tidy. Russ

Lol That's got to be the campest arm waving, to let someone by, I've ever seen! Russ

Nice to see you having a good weekend Sonny, long may it continue. Great to see a full grid with 20+ French cars of all different kinds as well. Russ

What happened yesterday James? Turned up during qualifying to see you pulling off in a big cloud of smoke and obviously didn't make the race. Looked all around the paddock but couldn't see you so never got a chance for a chat. Would of been nice to see it race even though I don't agree with it...
