Well I was at least supervising :P

Great stuff Mike, I think the water wetter is a good idea with the polo rad and ITB'S Good luck for the dyno look forward to seeing the results :)

Yes Kelv, one of the best things I did. It transformed the braking on my car :) Easy to source everything as said above just need 172 cup engine loom, master cylinder, rear load valve/bias valve and then you need to make some brake lines. The most difficult bit is swapping the master cylinder...

Also a good idea to fit the 172 cup engine loom as it then gets rid of all the ABS wiring, easy to fit :)

I'm game for this aslong as I get the loom done on my car in time :)

I've got one it's awesome as Fred says just buy it (He's biased, i'm not ;)) I'd offer for you to listen to mine but my car isn't running at the moment

Thanks Dan :)

Have I put the clutch release bearing back in the correct way? It looks the correct way but would rather check than have to pull the engine and box back out :) Thanks

HOLY F**K! I hope you don't need it doing every year Morgan :)

Just saw this on racecars direct and thought I would post as seems a bargain for the 197/200 owners on here :) http://www.racecarsdirect.com/listing/47167/quaife_atb_differential_for_clio_3_2013.html

I wouldn't worry about oil temps unless its regularly seeing over 120/130 degree's. I think oil cooler is a good idea however and I have got one fitted to mine

Lol :)

Good stuff Pete :) Front hub nuts 280nm Rear hub nuts 175nm

PMSL! I have another set sat on my desk anyway :)

He doesn't have anything lined up for the standard hub :( Although he does have quite a few sets of Laguna hubs so sourcing them wont be an issue :)

Thanks :) Yeah I have a mate who used to fit windscreens and he could probably get the stuff, I was just trying to do it myself as everyone else seems to fit their own polycarbs :) Yes I did mention it to my painting guy but I would of only been doing it to then re-wrap after so it would of...

Just collected the car and its all done and looking nice :) I'm over the moon with the stuff we have done with it. Will start to put it back together this evening!

Thanks :) I will leave that job for now then! I think the best/cheapest way to do it is ACW sides and then the P4P rear which is £160ish+vat A full set from P4P with sliders is nearly £700 I think

To all those who have fitted polycarbs to the rear three windows is one tube of Sikaflex enough to do all three? Thanks :)

I have been told it needs to meet the Belgium equivalent of our MSA bluebook and from a quick google a few months ago it sounded like FIA approval for all kit (different sized extinguisher, FIA fuel tank or FIA approved foam in the std tank etc etc) I will be speaking to the club before I spend...

There are some regs but I haven't fitted mine yet so haven't read up about it. Also they say how much area the light has to fill.

Nothing for MSA events etc just not for FIA endorsed events such as the CSCC Spa race which I may be doing

Lol it was actually £95. 3rd light isn't Fia approved and I don't want to faff around with the new wiring last minute if I go to Spa etc to race just fit it all when I do the new loom and its done :)

Will do if I want it to :) Not decided yet! Whats the best clamps to use on the coolant hoses? Jubilee okay? Mikalor? Something else?

Benefit of hindsight

I don't have enough money to finish the car at the moment never mind an epic engine :( I would be wasting your time if I asked how much it would cost!

Wow! That looks like you have got a fun road ahead of you Mark lol :) look forward to seeing you put your touch on it! What are the plans for it? General tart and tidy up or full rebuild, refresh engine etc?

Haha that's more like it the lowest I could get is 1060 and that's if I get carbon doors etc and also loose a fair bit of weight myself. Tis true Mark :) your series is power to weight though where the Tintops is just a free for all lol! Was planning on Jonny but won't be doing so for a while...

With fuel? If so that's nuts lol! I need another 40bhp more than you just to have the same power to weight ratio :(

Not really sure I guess the 182 shell is lighter as there is more metal. Mine with a full tank in race trim (ie no passenger seat, intercom etc) is 1034kg's then you add me and the numbers get scary! Lol Heavy car too Mark :) I think the weight of the cage over the back really helps the...
