Love this build!

Going to have some work done coming Saturday. I suspect there to be some air in the ABS pump as the pedal goes soft and squishy after a bit of thrashing on backroads even though I'm currently running OE Brembo pads on the 197 calipers. There's no way I cooked the RBF600 fluid with these pads...

Ok yeah its definitely the pulley then. It's just slightly larger but i cant take a measurement in there since theres too little space in there. Going to put a longer belt on which should fix it. The belt is just too tight now.

@scullyg40 Is yours the standard plastic one?

Sorry for the double post but I can't edit it anymore. I've found the below topic about running a 1670 belt instead of the standard 1660. But i'd first like to know if this issue is caused by the metal alternator pulley being bigger than the plastic one that was on there originally...

I found out today that the aux belt tensioner slightly rubs my aux belt. A while ago I replaced the pulley on my alternator since the original plastic one that was one there broke. I replaced it with a metal one I found on here. Could it be possible that there's a slight size difference in the...

I'll shoot you a message!

Well it only took 2 years but she's back! The following has been done since it was last on the road: Engine out again All new seals in top end New timing belt Keyed crank pulley installed Renault rebuilt gearbox (low miles, tried and tested) 4 new Federal 595RS-PRO tyres Wheels balanced...

Will you be at assen on the 21'st this month? @scullyg40 I should have my car back this saturday and if the weather is good i'll be there.

You gotta help me with my brake cooling sometime. I need to figure something out to direct the air directly onto the discs as well because having the air just come into the wheel well isn't cutting it.

There's stuff happening in the background. Engine is out again and there are a few things that stood out. The wrong type of sealant was used for the valve cover, one cam seal was completely destroyed and the starter motor wiring is getting too hot because there doesn't appear to be a heat shield...

The car is on it's way to a friend to get some work done. It'll probably be a while before I see it again but then again, it's already been sitting for over a year. A little bit longer won't really matter. Things that are getting done: fix valve cover leak gearbox rebuild fix broken fusebox...

What spacers are you running with those f1's?

Nice driving!

Read this thread beginning to end. Good job, lovely car!

I wanted to edit my previous post but I guess that's not possible. Anyway here's some pics of the car. This was a temporary spot so I could give it a good clean before putting it back in storage.

Spiders too actually :P I did mount them a few weeks ago though. I even updated my dead thread.

Alright so it's been a little while. Personal life took over and this project has, yet again, been put on hold. No worries though, the car is stored safely and in an isolated warehouse. A few spiders made the underside of the poor ph1 their home though. Oh well. Anyhow, do you guys remember how...

Had the same problem with the wheel turning when braking hard. Was a stuck caliper. Time to upgrade to Brembo's?

There is something in the works but I wont be in the country for a while. We'll see :P

God I miss driving mine on track. Great to see you're still at it!

2 hour job? I’ll call you next time. Took me 4 hours!!!!! You’ll see my taillights on track next year

Was actually thinking about dropping by but got caught up in some other stuff. You really need some sort of heater to prevent the windows from fogging up. Nice driving as always. Cool to see your progression both on the car and driving skills.

Please don't confront me with my poor life choices lol

Really lost interest in this. What a ride it's been. Parked the Clio in storage and wanted to forget about it but started watching some old clips of it on track and ugh, I just need this stupid french pos back in my life. So lets start on the basics... The sump was cracked so that was up for...

Sad to see the BMW gone. New wheels look great by the way. When is your next trackday? I'll invite myself for a ride along. Maybe it'll help me get back some motivation to start on my ph1 again.

Yeah I know @scullyg40 . Just cant be bothered right now honestly. Put the car back in storage. New place. Less spidery c***s to deal with. Also cheaper than the old storage unit. The car has good company though. Will be on the hunt for a box. Short list of what needs doing: Box Valve...

Should've probably updated this a long time ago. Anyway. Everything is put back together and the car started on the first try. One injector decided to die so that was replaced. Had a hard time with the timing but managed to time it up perfectly anyway. Sadly I got shafted on the gearbox which...

Love this project. Lot's of work and dedication has gone into this. Colour looks great. Have you thought about some kind of livery yet?

Decided to send the head off to the machine shop to have valve guides replaced and the head resurfaced. Will also replace all exhaust valves as some had some deep scratches in them. And they will cut the valve seats so they are perfectly flush with the valves. Meanwhile I did some painting on...
