When I can no longer keep up with one on track I'll consider an 'upgrade' until then I'll stick with my 182. Russ

Always thought about buying a little cabinet but never have, useful things. Paul at Rs tuning did the ecu, sent him both the Clio and megane ones so the ecu is ready to go when it comes back. Think it was £95 ish Russ

Good to see you back in a Clio mate, looking forward to updates. Russ

We're getting there, albeit slowly, I'm flat out at work and I've pulled something in my arm and it's really bugging me! Anyway! Got all the wiring finished And the battery/box back in Had 2 goes at getting the rad and cooler mounted due it being a lot bigger than the oe Clio rad. Take 1...

Couldn't be bothered to do any wiring tonight so put my H&R springs on my front struts. As you can see above the drivers side spring has snapped in 2 places at the bottom. Gave it a clean up and refitted new spring and new top mount and bearing. Got them put back on the car so at least I...

er that's not meant to Happen! Russ

Well the engine is in. That was the easy but really! All mounts back on, just using standard rubber mountings to try and and keep it nice on the road. Fuel line connected, coolant lines to heater matrix done, shifter cables on, need a Clip for one however. Clutch pipe is connected but not...

Yeah it does fit with Megane shafts but the gearing will be terrible with an NA 197/200. Russ

The 2 shifter units together with cables, straight swap. All finished and back together, excuse the tatty Megane gear knob, need to order a new one. That's it upto date, hopefully get it fitted tomorrow. New alloy R26 rad is here, boost pipes are on order along with the bits to refresh the...

This should be me updating to the engine is in but a hot bath with my name on it has won instead, I am getting old after all! Normal service will resume tomorrow. Clio engine is out, ancillaries and mounts swapped to Megane engine. Some shiny bits added along the way, Pure Motorsport AC delete...

Leave it with me mate, that mount casting turned up btw, only just opened it this morning. Russ

Not sure until I get it off mate, it's only done 59k though. Russ

Engine is out! Pulled both front struts/hubs out as well to change springs, links and some bushes. Pulled the AC pipes out of the engine bay too. Need to get the exhaust off and manifold out tomorrow and get the meg engine attached to its gearbox ready to drop back in. Russ

@tomsteer Sheds finished! Need to get back onto the clio as I just haven't had time. Some pics of the short shift mechanism fitted to the gearbox The original part removed Car itself still looks like this, just got the shafts to pull out then the engine can come out. Russ

Yeah it is, plenty of scope different spec cars. Russ

Not unless someone needs a 2nd driver, I'm not a fan of the format really. Prefer x2 sprint races. Russ

Decided what you're doing yet Dave? Russ

No James I'm not. Russ

Not a lot going on as I've been busy trying to sort my Clio 200 as well as boring stuff like work and building sheds! The gearbox is back just not had time to bolt it back to the engine yet. It's that time of year when next years provisional racing calendars are released and at the moment the...

Shed is out of the way finally and cleared some space to get the car inside. After much deliberation I've decide to bin the AC off for the time being. Ordered an updated alloy megane radiator + fan. Also ordered an AC delete bracket and pulley from Nick @ Pure Motorsport. The ecu is unlocked...

Lol probably not, wouldn't want the world to see my horrific joinery skills! Russ

Been delayed by day to day stuff, work, family and garden shed building! Sick of the garage being full of crap, lawn mowers etc so decided to build a new shed after being let down off a mate. All the base and sides are done, just waiting on the cladding to finish it and put it up. ap Have...

Haha yes was great fun, that little class F car was great in the wet, bit of a difference in the cars in the dry though! Russ

Yes! Nice one Pete, bet you can't wait to drive it again. Russ

Thanks Jamie, I'm sorted now. I hate those guns btw, got chucked in the bin a long time ago! Russ

Started stripping the Clio last night. Just got the battery and air box out really. Got the ecu out as well and it's currently boxed up along with the megane ecu ready to go and be unlocked. Couldn't help pinching bits as I went. Swapped the coil packs over. Sorted some breather/vac...

We had the same thing in one of the race cars but reckoned someone was a bit rough putting it back together after a clutch/gearbox change. Russ

I was waiting for someone to notice! Thought I had some stainless ones at work but I've had the stores upside down and can't find any! Trying to avoid buying some as they're a rip off! Russ

If I get a chance this weekend I'm going to start stripping the engine etc out of the 200 as I am really stuck now. Chucked the loom and coolant pipes on the engine to see what's what. Got the sensors plugged in that I have. Short of a couple still. Got the new Bosch lambda fitted, pic...

Thanks mate but already have a similar setup albeit with Rs250 turbo, 630cc injectors and ecu is mapped for a similar spec will just need a tweak hopefully. Russ
