Just to show the dash illuminated. Bit of a pointless thing to have done....

Great cars, I'm very fond of mine, well I've not grown bored of it yet. Ticks so many boxes for me.

Replacement glass is now in. Initially I thought it was the wrong part, but I was looking at it in the wrong orientation. Thanks to @Sash for telling me it was actually correct, multiple times....... 🤦‍♂️ not too bad to do at all.

stock clutch in good condition is so say good 280lbft of torque.

Stock injectors are fine to a shave over 300 bhp. The ktec turbo  IS the mamba turbo (19t) you'll need a better in tank pump if moving away from the stock turbo. The oem downpipe to front pipe joint is 1.5inch ID, it's stupid small. I'd be getting rid of that before anything else, in anyway...

You could but still need to mount it in the zoe housing with the opaque surround

just to clarify, the outer 4 LED's circled are not present on the Clio PCB, on the Zoe PCB they are there but blue, I removed the 4 blue ones and replaced them with white ones (y)

So I have seen this Zoë illuminated heater "upgrade" done @Danith . The Clio has bare plastic around the control, the Zoë is illuminated blue. I've whipped the blue smd/led's off and replaced them with some spare white ones off the old board. Red could be a good choice too though its subtle when...

Urgh, I drive to work in the dark so generally don't notice much... whilst at work someone mentioned my window was smashed..... Not sure what's gone on here, a stone maybe 🤷🏻‍♂️ the part looks to bolt in and out on a frame with a seal so I have found one on ebay which should hopefully be...

Nothing. I'll do it myself at somepoint, most of the time it's not an issue and even when it is, it isn't, as the car backs the power a touch in 5th. Intermittent still and if I get it hot it stops doing it all together.

it really is, cant ever take a decent pic of it on my phone though lol. ooo thats a good idea that actually (y)

Finished it off today, coated with some wax and from now on ill stick to cleaning it myself. Doesnt look that different from a distance but up close its loads better. That said I now see more imperfections. Could do with a new bonnet in the future and a front spray/refresh. Looks ok for a daily...

I have really neglected the body work and cleaning side of this car for way too long. I have spent the last 6+ months driving it through the local spiny scrub and blow dry and its really starting to show.... So today I have made a start on correcting it a little, ideally it needs a pro but itll...

Parts still aren't here from autodoc.... annoying as I wanted to get it all fitted up this bank holiday weekend. Anyway bit of a check over on the turbo which is still fine, has no excessive play. I whipped off the filter and gave it a clean. The ducting pipe and filter are pretty dirty so that...

yep as above, I've completely removed mine from the scuttle area too, cant say I noticed much difference in noise.

great update, the car has defo been saved by coming to you

What made you switch from omex to adaptronic?

no the injectors arent coded in. if one was full of crap the rest may be too. lambda sensors failing can also cause crap idle and running. did you get the codes read before firing the parts cannon at it?

I've been told to give it a week or two to bed in. I drove it yesterday and its pretty savage at fast idle and when pulling away. Feels lovely when on the move though and even though I didn't notice much slop, the front end feels more connected. I may end up going to Powerflex to see if I can...

Had some spare time so fired on the Powerflex mount. Not actually driven it yet to see what its like but there's is an increase in vibration just at idle, it was expected but we will see how it is once I take the car for a run. Captured a bit on camera so slapped together a quick vid. (y)

Still not gotten around to fitting the powerflex dogbone mount, I also need to get in and do the aux belt and tensioner. Anyone know if there is a special tool needed? Pretty sure the exhaust is blowing again so I need to order up a mls gasket rather than the ones I have to replace it. TBH Most...

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrpppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp

looking good, interested to see what you think after some anger as to if the upgrade is worth it.

Got a hoist ready to go if needed. Thing is I have another retro Renault project on the go currently in my single driveway space That said, the issue is intermittent and tbh unless I told anyone what to look for you would probably never notice the issue when driving

glad im not the only one thinking it...

refurbished clutch, not the box..... yeah ive had a look at whats involved, wouldnt be too hard really. if i had a ramp itd be done by now.

So that's now changed...... 😡 The original quotation given by Ktec was £1500 inc vat (bearing in mind a new clutch supplied and fitted elsewhere was around 2k, with it being a refurb instead of new it seemed about right price wise) that was complete removal of the gearbox, including...

Not got any videos of it as of yet. I will at some point though. I had it mapped pretty linearly, so it drives a little more like a big N/A, hard to explain, pulls well though, gets stronger the further through the revs you get.

I've been quoted just over 1500. That said I've still not heard back from them so fired an email over at the weekend.
