Well column is 2 parts which gives you small angle adjustments, so once the wheels are on if it’s out you only have the column joint to deal with not from the rack or anything. A lot easier to do this with epas that’s for sure.

@Touring_Rob Was just having a look through your thread (again 😄) Perhaps I did a tldr but what did you do for the bolts on the front end? You stuck them in deox c but then how did you coat them? So there isnt really any way to have 12.9 fasteners in black that will have decent...

@Touring_Rob Appreciate the information, very helpful! As Im in kent being tier 4! 😩 I hope I can get this going in the new year.

@Touring_Rob Hey I remember you said in your project thread that you wouldnt use citric acid on the hubs again but get them blasted, how would you coat them after? I read a thread on here where loads of people said how bad powder coating things like subframes are, or is that a forum myth?

Seems to be mixed opinions on the best ways of going about this job. I want the subframe, arb, wishbones, brackets etc and hubs all cleaned up but Im not doing any of it myself, Im done with mess for now, I want someplace thats equipped to do it for me. I just want it all black or dark grey...

I think Ill stick to low boost turbo and dog box tbf!

What I used for the pressure sensor. I dont like npt fittings but it worked fine. I had to drill and tap the thread for the m9 bolt and drill the hole for the other side.

Time for an update. Lots went well, one thing went wrong, it only takes one thing to put a halt on things though! And it was a really stupid rookie mistake! Although technically I could just swap out a part, Im going to leave it for now and come back to things after christmas, I may or may not...

Crap picture but this is satin black

Quality work Rob. Although the faded blue grills need a coat of satin black 😄

Yup

Yeah stock hoses aren't great, these will do the job 😄 Will be able to take out the whole pas setup without any mess, not cheap though o_O

What do they do to it? Mine has a dodgy lick of paint and other than that I have no clue.

That was a new pump wasnt it? Ive just bought the same I think, its all been painted over so needs sanding where the pulley meets. How did it perform after all?

Ive just bought loads of D2 so someone just say its fine, cheers

Sorry meant @Hyperhatch

They dont fit? @JamesBryan

I bought a Peugeot 406 ATE one, which is the same fitment as a 172 cup (4 port) but larger bore size of 23.8, same as 197. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ATE-Brake-Master-Cylinders-for-PEUGEOT-406-24-2123-1751-3-Mister-Auto/311454266197?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2648

It doesnt matter about the wheel as the column bolts to the rack one way only. What you might need to bare in mind is that the recon'd rack doesnt line up like the one you have, so the wheel will be off centre. Youd have to take out the pinion from the rack and clock it to the same or wack off...

I havnt looked at it since ordering the new mc. I think it will need compressed grease but I wont be doing that anytime soon.

You might be able to just swap the link pipe round, its pretty tight so caution needed! That way can keep the stickers the right way.

Where did you get the pas pump from? Ive just bout a 'new' refurbished one from ebay for 80 quid, hoping it works all good.

Your calipers are on the wrong side. Bleed nipples face up. They are already a pita to bleed, but this would make it even harder.

Why would it be offset to the steering wheel? The wheel by standard is a mile to the left. Why dont you weld in seat mounts?

I treat them as I do hardlines. Tighten, back off slightly, tighten again and a bit more.

I used a halfords cig lighter tyre pump with the football attachment on, cut an old line in half and just made sure I closed the seal in the line with the pump. This was for 197 brembos but same concept.

Dont understand why the kit wouldnt be designed to fit common wheels for the clio. AP racing do 290mm and 295mm discs.

Clio main beam is dimmer than most new cars dipped.

@frayz You will need a new res when you fit the rack ;)
