Subframe in, head built up and fitted.

After putting the head on I kept thinking I should have I bought some uprated valve springs, later that day a new set of cat cams valve springs came up for sale .. heads now coming back off to fit these. Also bought the worlds most expensive sump plug ? Tidied up the engine bay and front...

Went to fit my steering rack bushes, whilst doing that I thought I’d clean the grease off the subframe .. resulted in subframe coming off, stripped to bare metal and repainted, rack off, cleaned up and painted, new powerflex bushes and finally fitted my cup wishbones.

Good to hear. Thank you and good luck with your mapping.

Cheers. It’s halfords own engine paint, found it to be the best of the high temperature aerosols.

Oh really? I emailed them last night and they emailed me first thing this morning answering all my questions. It does do boost by gear and everything else I wanted so I’m very tempted to get one.

Been having a think about mapping and turbos, think I’m going to sell my AEM and buy a ME221 stand alone as I’d really like to have boost by gear, going to get a slightly smaller turbo to, a GT2860RS. Won’t be for a while as there both £££’s And I still need a clutch kit ?. Anyway ... valves...

What happened with this mate? I’m in similar situation with the management, what did chris recommend for over 12psi?

Wasn’t sure what section to post this in, if it’s wrong please move. Basically I need a ECU to run my Clio Turbo, preferably plug and play so I’ve narrowed it down to the Gen90 or a Me221. Is there any advantages either of these offer that the other doesn’t? I’d quite like in gear/boost by...

Busy day today ?

Made a start on removing the engine, going to remove all the suspension to and Stone chip the inner wheel arches.

Removed the remaining heater and air con bits from under the scuttle panel. 5.6kg in total, left 2 big holes going into the cabin so I’ve order some alloy to make some blanks. Sold my Megane pistons after reading about ringland problems, didn’t want to be doing everything twice so bit the...

Both cameras in, carbon steering wheel insert, helmet hammock in and first clean of the year.

Seats in, harness in, steering wheel on, wiring nearly finished, new foot rest fitted. Ignore the heater matrix rad down near the pedals it’s coming out with the engine.

Decided not to fit the flocked dash in the end, tidied the loom up instead so dash will be for sale soon. Cage went in, fitted a treat, subframes painted and fitted, 5/6 point mounts fitted. Hopefully get the last 2 harness mounting points in this week along with the seats and harnesses.

Front half now painted to, hopefully get the cage in at weekend if it’s dry enough.

Got the rear half of the car painted in Upol Raptor, hopefully get the front half done at weekend.

Pissed I missed this :confused:

Removed few more interior bits today, will remove the heater matrix to when the engine is out then tidy the wiring up again.

I’ve only got half a clio at the moment 😂
