Everything servicable will be swapped, decided to go forged rods as they cost so little, so why not? lol Yep, will change pickup and pump Don't want to spend a fortune but also dont want any unreliability issues, so will be upgrading stuff like that where I can.

Some small updates Took friday off work to strip the VRS Managed to get pretty much everything that I wanted to sell off How I left it on the Friday, just the bits I need to remove now. Went back Sunday and spent the full day on it Loom labelled Engine & box pulled Loom completely...

Couple of updates to catch up on. Centrecaps in, wheels all ceramic coated and fitted Match on the centres isnt perfect but never mind Cleaned the 1.2s and put them away ready for the tracks to open Colour of these is totally different to the old set, despite supposedly being the...

I used to see a blue one parked up not far from JLR quite often, The Droveway I think its called. That any of you? lol

Wolvo fwends You the same bloke I spoke to on facebook, live opposite my mates on Windsor? Cant Imagine there being many LY 182s around here lol

Started last week with cleaning up the skirts ready to go back on Check the state of this passenger side one, all of that is tar, this pic was taken after cleaning the mud off it Next, I used a LOT of this on it... ta-daa Drivers side had been bent from the sill bending on the jacking...

I got up to Brundle App stopped giving me notifications of new ones, havent looked in over a month. Only after seeing this have I realised theres been about 5 new ones lol. All been great I thought so far

So Thursday, we set this radius tool up in the press at work, never seen it before, but it was like, a really nice radius, perfect I thought for the deflector plates to go with my brake cooling ducts... Got home that night, pulled the clio out, whipped a wheel off and patterned up something I...

Slowly progressing with this. Inner sill welded and primed Outer made and tacked in Welded and primed The above was last Monay I think it was, the night the "lockdown" was introduced Had a feeling it was coming, so went to the unit to try get it ready to bring home, good job I did...

I cant remember how much exctly but it was aroud double that of a PMS shifter So faaaar too much for most mk2 clio owners PMS one is expensive to me 😂

Little update seeing as I'm now off work until Wednesday at the earliest.. Finished the passenger side last Saturday The heat had warped the lower part of the rear quarter so I had to get the filler out to sort that, It was only minimal but noticable with the skirt on. This annoyingly meant I...

Small update Passenger side sill is all welded up, hoped to be pretty much finished besides paint today but couldnt make it to the unit so I'm further behind haha. Adding a lip after id welded the panel in. Treated the inside with the rust converter stuff for any bits I'd not managed to...

Turns out this repairing rotten sills stuff takes way longer than you'd expect. Couldnt go to the unit Saturday as all the boys were prepping for Ultimate Dubs, wasnt space for the clio, so dropped it down 1st thing Sunday, by the time I'd gotten back home to get the Saab and gotten back to the...

Surprising that, you're lucky 😂 Must be a repair that as sills arent bad. I'd still look at treating and protecting them whilst there's something left to protect haha.

To the OP, worth treating that with something to help prevent it. Ive spent a small fortune on dinitrol products, supposedly the best out there, to protect the sills once ive cut the rot out. They do a rust converter primer which actually works, so ive been told. Wants to at £30 a can. Cavity...

If its bubbling on the lower rear quarter, your sills will be fucked by now. Have a look behind your doorcards and take the skirts off, I wish you the best of luck 😂

I literally bought myself a new daily as I wasnt happy to use these through winter 😂 I had them on the car for a couple of months and already they look a complete mess. Work fine still, just covered in rust. Going to clean them up and paint the bits I can, may even fit new bearings for the...

1st look in daylight Drove it over to the house and figured I'd get started on swapping the doorcards over Who knew it'd be such a faff. Exclusive ones removed, finally the last of the leather is gone. Anyway, put the standard ph1 doorcard in place and well, none of the bottom screw...

Asif this was local to me for all those years, dont ever recall seeing it lol!

Got the car back together on the weekend, brakes all fitted and bled, 1.2s on the front, but then the battery was dead so couldnt finish until the monday. Think I'm going to keep the 1.2s white for now, until I need to change tyres atleast. The F1's however.. I took the tyres off...

I went to look at a ph1 of Chi's before I got my exclusive 5 years back He had a few then, but not this many (that I saw anyway) Had a really nice boosted Trophy there, Don;t think the one I viewed is i the collection anyore either. Proper sound guy though, always been mega helpful Think he...

You can still track it, just dont crash it 😂 I feel like its a shame to build it to such a spec and never properly use it. You will never see the full benefit of a diff on a road, unless you want to loose your licence/life lol

City Powdercoaters in Birmingham? Think I'm taking my 1.2s to them, just for a basic silver. Whats the overall finish like on them?

So after days of going too and from work/unit with the calipers, they finally clear the F1s Gave them some fresh paint yesterday at the unit, was a bit cold so made an oven 😂 Worked really well, managed to prime, base coat and clear all in one go. They were still warm when I got them...

10mm Roll centre kit widens track by 10mm a side too

Is it strange to get emotionally attached to a set of wheels? I feel so gutted that the Sparcos have gone, despite having two new sets of wheels. The battle to run F1s over Brembos is ongoing, but I'm almost there I think. Stripping the brakes down in here when its snowing on and off outside...

Innit, just a turbo, nothing special there... 😂

I normally just go 31 for road use That won't be far off what it's meant to be.
