Its very easy to drop the complete subframe with engine and box ect on my ramp , I can have it all on the floor in 45 mins , and I wanted to get a better look at the thrust bearing in place to make sure it wasn't dragging . I ordered a Helix cover for it today as I don't think the valeo cover...

I stripped it all apart today and can't see anything wrong with it , there seems plenty of clamping force on it , tried speaking to someone at helix but they took my number but no one called me back , will have a call round tomorrow with those in the know. Measured the room I have for the...

Had an up and down day yesterday , about a mile into the first stage the new clutch started slipping , we lost quite a bit of time , I was hoping it was just bedding in , it was better after it had cooled down and went out on the second stage , and did seem better the further we went , but even...

all sorted and loaded up ready to rally tomorrow Here's looking forward to a good days rallying :)

whipped the engine and box out and bought a new flywheel and clutch plate , and had the plate re-paddled All back on the subframe , fitted a new water pump and track rods while it was apart Its all back up and running now , taking it for the tracking to be done in the morning , a good...

Had another pic tagged on Facebook , who said clios don't fly !!

I took the mirror off in Ireland if you watch them : )

ouch , oh I bet that made you chuckle when you found that out ! I have a CNC milling machine in my workshop so will machine the extra tooth off , I remember many moons ago putting a rally car back together and then finding the thrust bearing lol , there was plenty of swearing going on after that !

Yes it tops out in 6th at about 120 , and yes we have an intercom built into the helmets , I am trying to get a lead so the intercom can be connected to the camera

Didn't know it needed machining , would have checked it was the same anyway , how come they are different ?

Took it all apart earlier and the cover and flywheel is worn , and the plate has worn to match , so I have ordered a new flywheel from renault , a valeo cover from the motor factors and sent my plate to brake reline services in cardiff to have new pads fitted , should have everything back...

I had the clutch plate repaddled when I had the box out to have the final drive changed when I built the car , I think the plates ok as I haven't done that much mileage , I think the cover has gone weak. Yes it could have done with more power , ok down hill lol With what you have done in yours...

Got some pics in action as well

Uploaded another in car video last night , this was probably the fastest stage of the weekend , was on the rev limiter for quite some time , which certainly grabs your attention lol , this is much better than going round and round in circles on a track :rasp: http://youtu.be/rwqPGNlr4NY

Just come back from a bonkers time in Ireland doing the West Cork rally , what an amazing event , car came back in one piece as well with no dents which is always a bonus lol , just needs a new clutch as its just started to slip very slightly off the line , so whipped the engine a box out this...

You can't , they need a grease nipple fitted into the housing to be able to do it

Had issues on the last rally where the lower ball joint nut kept coming loose , found out it was the rose joints had seized , spoke to various places about new ones , as the original ones need greasing , I have changed them to PTFE lined ones and see how they last Off to Ireland in a week for...

Have you seen how much they are ? for My E92 V8 M3 they are about £5k !!

Future proof ?? wassat ? If the heads are no different , and they can't be ported any better , its a bit of a waste of time the extra work involved fitting it really. Can anyone answer this which I asked further up the thread ? was just looking on catcams website , on the 551 , 552 and 553...

was just looking on catcams website , on the 551 , 552 and 553 profiles , do catcams also supply solid lifters as I can't see them on there site , if not who does them , what other complications do you run into fitting either of these over the 423's
