No need for bling underside on the dci😆. Winter driving just fooks it up. Clean mot pass on the orange dci yesterday. Another cheap year of motoring.

Updates. Orange clio is in for mot on Monday so give it a once over. All looked ok apart from front discs and pads. Still legal but had seen better days as been on since 2019/god knows how manu miles. Not expensive so stuck a set on, napa brand from local motorfactors. Assume position Clean...

Injector on its way maybe. Had similar on my old 172 kangoo just before one failed. I would also get fuel pressure checked, if its original fuel pump it might be tired.

Done a good job on the box thats scrap 😆 No hpas lines makes subframe drop nice and easy. Need to do my trophy soon and itll be same engine and box drop to save wrestling the ndo box in situ.

Updates. Cheap engine mount on orange dci turned out to be horrendous for vibration so got a gates branded one. Fitted and business as usual. Both had a well needed wash over xmas. Finished with a coat of BH touch on for a bit of easy winter protection. Clean Blue clio hasnt done many...

Not sure mate ill be honest. Ive not worked on 1.2 before.

Quick update R26 not really moved apart from a couple of local runs out due to leaking water pump/cambelt job due imminently. I have all the parts ready to go, just waiting for my snap on torque wrench to come back from repair. Hopefully be back mid Jan so can crack on and get that sorted...

Oldskool chamfer on the edge of the pads to stop squeal if it comes back mate

Map sensor vac readings on idle are usually off if cam timing is out. Im sure mine was around 400mbar on idle when correct. Its hard to tell in the vids but doesnt look too bad. F4r is not really refined

From a quick google gripper do a plate diff and RSX do a torsen to suit jr5.

Can probably redrill the twingo block to suit jb and use a custom clutch and poss custom shafts. Basically a load of aggro, be better off selling the jb and buying a lsd for the jr5

Not worth messing on with in all honestly. The doorcards also rattle once you fix the cover rattling. Underseat sub is a better upgrade with a good head unit.

All oem speakers are wired per channel and there is no crossover on the rears. Stock head unit is also shite. A good aftermarket stereo vastly improves sound quality overall. I actually think its the location/sound deadening at the rear. On my dci it was not specced with rear speakers so did...

Looks good on the williams wheels. In for updates!

Recaros look spot on. I have the recaro sportster cs fitted to my trophy with the larger lower bolsters and still very easy to get in and out of with the jon foz frames. @hopmade some replica trophy leather seatbelt tensioner covers a while back, would finish it off the install nicely.

Picked up Mot. 1515 seem gauge off ebay for checking belt tension. £500+ new mine for £40 delivered. Another tool to go in the cupboard of random s**t thats rarely used, but will no doubt come in handy at some point in the future

Get it scanned with can clip to see whats triggering the lights.

All day long. Assume gearbox is a lot better too

I know somebody who destroked an f4r to 1.8 using a f7p or volvo crank from memory. Totally different setup as the engine was turbo but you could maybe look to see If that could work for you.

Shame really as they used to be pretty decent. First f4r water pump ive had thats leaked, all rest are oem and never had an issue.

Change them caliper brackets for a decent machined ones i.e. pms or similar and check the caliper is central to the disc.

Also had a nice reminder of the tour a couple of days ago. On the outward journey on the Friday to the ferry time was cracking on, met up just outside the Tyne tunnel. Went through the tunnel and got on boat and forgot to pay. £32 for the priviledge! On that note. Meg has not moved since the...

Day 3 - Nurburgring Woke up to a cold and foggy Belgium. 0deg again! Continental breakfast and en route. Fresh Set off and fog soon cleared when on motorway. Spa to Nurburgring drive was uneventful and steady 1hr40 so arrived in no time. First stop in Adenau There was a rally on and the...

Been looking at buying one of these myself and good to hear they work well. The branded ones used to be expensive at one point and eezibleed was the cheaper alternative. To be fair ive used my eezibleed loads of times over the years without issue. They have changed the design slightly recently...

Great update. The trackday sounds awesome (y)

Day 2 - Spa Woke up to a fresh day and fog! Continental breakfast and away we go Fresh 5 min drive to the circuit and sign on and get set up in the garage unloading all of the gear before sighting laps Renault F1 team M2 imposter. As the weather was cold and 1deg or so ambient temps...

This one? Looked mega. Fell right lucky with the weather, cold but dry.

The ps5 last ages. They actually performed pretty well at Spa for a few laps on my meg, was quite impressed

Air in the diesel pipes is pretty normal from experience. I had same conk out and mine was high leakoff on 1x injector. The high leakoff also caused lots of air in the system. Do a leakoff test.
