@optical and @Pink-182 are! My DCI has a Renault sport badge too! 😂

Sweeeeeeeeeettt. Have you seen or heard of a non-epas Clio coming with it before?

Also, a cheeky pic of how it looks tonight. Green is for heroes IIRC...

So, I might be dreaming here, but as I was taking the dash frame out tonight, I spotted something on the loom... So this is the ECU controller for the EPAS column. I managed to find the 2 plugs and bit of wire the other week up the scrappies... So I take the frame out, and spot a bit of loom...

Not thought that far ahead, but it's only about an hour for me to get to those services. I met @Typhoon there last year, and we overtook @Cub. 's slow pink car on the way up the A46... :cool:

DO IT! We can meet on the M1 at Leicester services.

Great setting for those pics. I especially like the "oasis" one.

Booked! Now I'll book Friday/Monday off work [emoji41]

Yes uncle [emoji23]

Alright, alright. I've not been in here loads! :tonguewink: So you've booked a hotel north of Blyton? Why didn't you choose Lincoln?! 😂

Hotel? For Sunday night?

Is it to the same point that the earth strap from the gearbox goes to? Or one of the 2 points directly behind the headlight unit?

Easter Monday... I woke up with a whole day free to myself, which was to be spent down in the garage. Little did I know what would be in store for the day! In the morning I got a couple of jobs done. Firstly, fitted the fuel tank breather now the carbon cannister is gone. Then got the heat...

So this weekend the boys came round for a last minute, mini meet. Saturday was a bit of a wash out, and with @Bear Head getting his Brembo's fitted, and @RyG swapping his dash out, it was done to @Steven103 and me to crack on with the car (mostly Steven!). In the days before the weekend I had...

Top or bottom?

You could be right. This is coming from my experience with motorcycle tyres. That said, it's usually a sign they won't last a great deal longer.

I was under the impression that the bluing is just the oils coming out of the tyre when they get hot. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but they shouldn't be binned for the discolouration.

Booked my ticket. Weekend pass, morning track session. Just hope the car is done for this now. 😂

You've tagged me in this? Did you forget I'll be at castle Combe with the rest of the cool kids?

Feel your pain Dave. Me and Gus did mine on my garage floor, with the beam still attached via the handbrake cables. Still, we did it though.

My boss' son has started importing yank cars to do up and sell on. Boss has an absolutely gorgeous ford galaxie on his drive at present. This one in fact.

That's a 172 engine.

The 2 bolts should point down to the floor.

For the Oxfordshire, Surrey and South Central gang, we're heading over to Castle Combe for the spring Action Day. Tickets for the stand are sold out, but tickets for the show are still available. Come check us and the show out...

So had a bit of time this morning to start painting the inlet manifold. First coat is on...

GET TAE FUUCCKKKK OK. What about from a safety perspective? Is it worth having a bar there for the sake of £30?

@optical popped over this afternoon and we set about dropping the rear beam to install the powerflex rear beam bushes. It had an advisory for perished bushes on the last MOT so thought I best get them changed now. We can both see why people complain about this job. The first issue we had was...

In the heroic efforts to remove the motor, the alternator was terminal but also the live feed to it as well. Few minutes later, a new connector is on Along with the new coolant bottle. Almost seems a shame to use the standard pipe work now. Just refresh the clios for now.

So the roll cage arrived last week. Steven and his buddy Chris popped by to check it out. We mocked up how it will look, and found its not a dash dodger! Lol! So dash bars and look will come out (as they were for welding anyway), and I'll need to source a dash bar from custom cages.

The one on the track attack website is correct I assume?
