I used sikaflex 291, you need adheasive in what you use otherwise it just peels off the paint and you get leaks again. I masked all around my roof, took it out, ran a sizable bead around the frame, tightened it down and then finished the edges and peeled the tape off. Was a permanent repair...

Just a few little bits to add. The gt2560 is a water cooled turbo which will add heat into the cooling system. We've tried to compensate for this in three ways: Fitting a 197 thrermostat which opens at a lower 75 degrees Clocking the turbo. The clocking is to better aid the natural...

I’ve also tried this and failed sadly. There is an option in CLIP but, as you mention, it’s for the autolocking when moving. I removed my door switches from the loom but really need to add them back in. Touch wood I haven’t locked the keys in the car yet but it’s only a matter of time.

Think I replied on facebook but yes you can program the airbag ecu with CLIP. have personally left in the airbag ecu for the correct lights come MOT time but you might be able to remove the whole system from the multiplex network. This wouldn't be my preference as they could get you under the...

The one you have currently isn’t the original. You have to clock the gt2560r compressor housing for the compressor outlet to clear the manifold. A t28 z style actuator should work. We are planning on flipping the last bend on the original actuator so it offsets 30mm.

Thanks for the gasket link :) Amazing what a difference there is between the pistons. Would love to know why they’ve gone for a different skirt design and what the coatings on it are because it looks lighter at first glance. Looks like it would be ever so slightly higher compression on the top...

Wheels - Cup offset so the whole car is 20mm wider now and they fill the arches nicely. It has it's bi-annual wash to celebrate too. Was rather grubby but I prefer it that way because it hide all the awful marks!

standard is 5.2kg, ttv ones are 2.9 I believe. One of the best changes I made to my car, makes it much much revier, especially when teamed with EPAS.

Looking good! Head looks absolutely spotless! Mind linking me to the copper gasket? Did yours blow from there before? I'm doing a very similar build at the moment and want to avoid all the teething problems as much as possible. Already got inconel studs, heico washers and knuts but your gasket...

Thought I'd update this. I did an LED dash conversion on the dci using bazillions of SMDs. The radio has a bad connection on one pad and as the buttons are lit up in series they now won't illuminate. I'll sort it when I get a chance but even without that the interior is a million times better...

Ah yeah now we're talking. Did you do the hone yourself dude or get it done on at the shop? You putting in 197 or cat cam springs in? Not that they're needed but they can reduce float, particularly the cat cam ones but the more cost effective 197 ones too. Nice to see this just being done so...

Nice to do something different to what everyone else does. Watch for ringland issues with the pistons as winding in too much boost to them is fatal. This build really goes to show that a turbo conversion can be reliable if it’s assembled with care. Looking forward to seeing the work done. Are...

So many details!!! ? I like your style ?

Due to the use of an OMEX with the throttle body kit several dash lights had been removed. They've all be re-soldered in and systems like ESP and unnecessary airbags will be programmed out using CLIP. Whilst it's all apart an LED dash conversion has been carried out to make all LEDs white and...

Mart's hit the nail on the head when he says we're doing this to an extremely high standard. Everything has been researched to an inch of it's life to make sure it's going to be perfect when done. The majority of what's going on in the engine bay has been recorded so we're hoping to put out an...

Yeah man I can’t wait! Yours will always be better than mine ? it’s going to be a super long build taking any spare change I make from the last couple of breakers. Fear not! The insta stuff is a nice and quick way to show what we’re up to but there will always be a project thread to go along...

What's going on here then? This is more an update for update sake but there is a lot of change coming in the garage. I forgot to mention in my last post that I'd done the previous 3 trackdays with an overdue cambelt! Go me. After beating on the cup so hard over the past few years it needs a...

You can't test the alarm with a CLIP because it's not wired into the can network. There are two types of alarm, those with a battery and those without. When the car is running do you still have all these issues? CLIP will allow you to diagnose the climate control. Look for a sensor which is...

That sounds reasonable to me. The only benefit of using one which fits on the terminal directly is that you don't have to make up a patch wire to go between the terminal and cut off. If using a cut off make sure you get battery teminal boots to cover the connections. I've got a crimp tool if you...

Only because of the terminal style being different to that of a standard car battery.

I wouldn't worry too much Tom, Mart has a small battery fitted and it lasts for a decent amount of time. Do you want to run the cut off switch so it can be killed when the engine is running or just to disconnect the battery when not moving? FIA switch for the first, wired up properly with a...

Thats exactly why it's worth doing. If you look at the kind of cars around for just over a grand that do this kind of MPG they are all woofers, abused and in need of a lot of work. Don't see that as a barrier. The Gates cambelt kit comes with fantastic instructions which make it fool proof...

I'd be inclined to just do the cambelt and that's it. I'd only do the auxbelt if you're not sure when it was last changed.

I think I had a laser set and it was fine. After a few uses I bent the crank pin but at £10 a go I can't really complain. Water pump is a bit of a faff with the engine in the car so I wouldn't bother unless it's giving you grief.

This is my list. Only buy new or refurbished (by a huge well known company like PF Jones) injectors and pumps. Used are a mine field and can cost you more than you bargained for, I speak from when I bought a used pump and brand new injectors and the pump was knackered. You'd be replacing the...

I’m at this point with our rep, I’m repairing it and taking a 10 year view on using it as a car which is pretty much brand new afterwards. £850 for parts including clutch, belts, fluids and everything’s to get the job done right. The work isn’t actually that bad, little more than a cambelt...

They're good. Know a few people that have had them. The turbos aren't hit and miss, they're a good long standing supplier of theirs and it's the best conversion on the market.

I would give this a go matey. It's the EEPROM chip they need to duplicate https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-Clio-UCH-N2-UCH-N3-Programming-service-BY-POST/283466397883?hash=item41ffe9f8bb:g:Su8AAOSw~jJcduZP&frcectupt=true I struck lucky a while back and found a virgin one on ebay for £50 but...

Pop the top of the steering wheel cowl off by pulling at the soft bits where the stalks are. And you’ll see 2 t20s Behind the dash trims there are 4 additional t20s There are three in the front demister vent Finally are two slightly bigger but plastic ones on the sides. You need to remove the a...
