After the block was painted I moved onto the bottom end and fitted the ARP Rod bolts which I had to buy again due to being sold the wrong ones.
Sump back on with fresh gasket and got rid of the awful torx head bolts
Back to the head, got a Megane MLS head gasket fitted also photos must be on...
So I finally got my brother to give me a hand with this loading it onto the car back home to put onto the engine stand. Let's say, sh*t about to get sexy!
First I started by removing the head, this is my far the tightest nut I ever have met to date... Even my impact gun couldn't do it. I'm...
Following on with the hubs-
I then bought the intercooler back and spiced that up abit!
Not the best and wish I turned out better but :&( wasn't as easy as I thought....
Few other little modifications with the shifter and got the hubs fitted...
Time for my favourite part ; the engine...
So I've not updated this thread in a whole we're a whole lot closer than we was before. So starting from where we left off, I got the gearbox back home to clean it up and all the other bits this was covered in shitty paint from last time I did it. Cleaned it up and lacquered it. Loooked very...
Update, let's start with update #1! Under sealing, managed to find bit of time to get the arch liners out and clean it all up behind there, got brand-new arch liners on the way just missing one side of the rear half, found them all with a bit of digging, last ones £70 delivered for 3 parts...
Thanks mate, I may of missed a few bits in-between but you get the gist. Yes, amazing find! This as always been top contender for one of my favourite colours so I was so excited when I found it! Can't wait to update this thread when I manage to get some more done! Weathers abit poor atm.
So this summer of 2020, pretty much stuck inside I decided I wanted to fully rebuilt the front end. Full subframe got all the blasted and powder coated,
New wishbones with powerflex bushes all round,
New ball joints,
Every single exterior bolt off another car I had blasted and zinc plated...
I wasn't sure on the condition of the JC5/130 but I did know they are alot stronger than the previous circlip type so I took the gamble.
I then went and bought a ported head with some 197 camshafts, got some very nice inlets made up by m.s custom engineering, he also refurbed my brakes as...
Not sure if this is in the correct section so apolgies if not. Are there any previous owners of this car on here? I have had it for around 2 years now after I bought it in a sorry state for £350. All I knew was the engine was no good and the obvious body work damage.
As you can see from the...
As per the title, stupidly I cut it from the loom and didn't re lable it so I'm stuck on which wire goes were, does anyone have any photos or help on wiring it into the engine loom 182 if it makes a difference? Thanks.
So bought this a few moons ago with a piston out the block, needed abit of TLC which I've done, belts ect 197 cams fitted. I can't get it to run... Engine turnes over but the battery and stopight was flashing,?!? Now I've check the immobilizer, crank, engine relays ect everything is okay...
Surely there's someone who can help? After a dash loom for satnav!? Surely someone has one stashed away or something, I need to borrow one to complete mine as someone cut satnav part away from main loom..... [emoji23] if youre local I'll even remove it and fit you a spare one in for the time...
Hi, so a while ago I went to pick my girlfriend up her first car. Stupidly I totally forgot to check for the locking wheel nut! Any way, it's not there... Stupidly again before thinking it threw I hit a socket over the nut but now that spins too. Anyone got any idea how I can get the socket off...
All I'm saying is I had an issue with my pedal where it would work one second and then the next it would be dead, but ya okay , fixed it by opening it up cleaning it and re greasing the contacts
