Haha no buddy i will def drop the subframe to try that method as I have not done it that way before. Only prob is if one of the captive nuts start spinning... Good advise above regarding spanner. Had a nose around today and can see the inside access point.

Seems to be a lot of engine pulling going on lately, look forward to the update

Thank mate, need to tackle this soon.

To what, the wishbone support arms or did you make brackets to put the rivets into?

Bit of a bump, but just wondered how you got on and what method you used in the end?

Looking good Russ, what did you use to fit the wind deflectors?

Bloody hell not another one... few of the guys had problems on the MVS track day trophy yesterday.. Hope you get it sorted fella

Nice one Pete, glad to hear it went well. Shame about the niggles, poxy cars!!!

I would have paid to have seen that Chip lol

To be honest the chassis rails was not the prob, it was the loom and pipe work that kept springing back. Anyway looks like im going to be doing it all again soon to replace the clutch humph!!!

Does anyone know if you can get vinyl in the same colour as the oem paint?

I removed my first ever engine last week, and obviously went out the top...hardest part is putting it back in lol

Youtube it, gives a nice animated diagram of one working ;)

You can hear two noises, one does sounds a bit like a dephaser, but then the knocking starts, and its this im guessing is the bearing being spun. Wishful thinking if anything else, Iv just done a engine due to worn rings, find a cheap second hand engine with a good history, will be cheaper than...

Nice one Pete, I have always fancied driving at Thruxton. These days are well worth it imo

Nice one James, you could build another Clio with all those spares ;) I have a small selection building up now too, better to be safe than sorry I guess.

Thanks Pete, yea I was thinking that, will only commit once 100% certain everything is fine. Im off to Spa for 2 days in October, thats the launch date im hoping for. You dont fancy Spa with Circuit days?

Nice one, glad it went well. I used sealant on mine also, both sides.

Sweet, whats the spec?

Re: sonny172cup "track racer project" Yep I thought it was expensive, I wanted to do full day for £240 (6 hours) then test at 115, but I have no trailer experience so the test center recommends doing two half days (3 hours)

Re: sonny172cup "track racer project" ​Thanks, I have estimated it to be around 905kg with 1/4 tank of fuel.

Re: sonny172cup "track racer project" Thanks buddy

Re: sonny172cup "track racer project" Glad to hear its nearly done mate, the Exige sounds fun, funnily one of my mates just bought a blue one, he will be at Spa too. Sounds fun, will you be taking the Clio again as well? Will be interested to see what you make of the PMS exhaust set up. If...

Ouch!

Personally never been a fan of open filter in engine bays due to radiant heat issues, unless you have a cold air feed on the filter. I agree the sound is nice, depends what you want really. Sorry could not tell you if that elbow joint is correct or not.

Re: sonny172cup "track racer project" Would love to, but unfortunately i'm working that weekend, no way getting cover for work (as iv already tried)!!!!

I used these filters in my B7 RS4 for nearly 5 years, totally recommend them, however I have never used one in a Clio, cant see it being different, as long as they are maintained correctly.

Re: sonny172cup "track racer project" Thanks Lee, hows your Cup doing, is it finished yet? Will you be at Spa in October? Cheers Tony, yep, there are a few variables that's going against me at the moment, but Cadwell is the the date. It will be my first ever race, so excited about that. Im...
