Get it on a proper alignment kit and see how far out it is.

Yeah sorry I didn't reply to your text, will do so now. Is indeed your old subframe, hope I dont f**k it up. It is pretty solid actually, concerned about vibration now.

No update on the RB yet, waiting for the box back from Agency. But, this weekend means a good update for my Clio at last. Towed it down my mates workshop, and got to work. Pulled engine out, changed inlet and exhaust manifolds, re-assembled everything, but I'll be changing the turbo yet...

Mk2? Can do it by removing the arch liner.

lol at others with DCi's, I was filling mine up every week lol. the 1.9 is going to be just as bad, if not worse.

Reverse switch is accesible via the N/S, remove wheel, and its to the left of the driveshaft.

Its Brakes, not breaks. Calipers/carriers/shims probably need cleaning, and then lube so they don't rattle.

Replace, you can try and seal it, but it'll keep coming back.

Made a note in my diary, but unsure if I'll be able to attend :( Busy weekend!

For one of those, I agree lol.

No real need for that tool really. Clio calipers wind back easily.

This for Kyle? I remember him asking I think?

Looked into this when I had my motorbike, decided it was too mugh of an arse and just fitted a HID kit into the standard headlights and aimed them properly. Buy a spare set of headlights and dive in at the deep end, keep this/A thread updated though, could be interesting/helpful for others.

does it bump start?

If you're doing that little miles and are worried about fuel consumption, whats up with your life. If I did less than 6k a year, I'd have a much better car than a 182, Something that does single figure MPG's.

Wouldn't surprise me if it was for one of the motorhomes they have/had, well towards it anyway.

Ha, I was there the other day. I wonder how they got it, Will have to ask if I'm in there again soon.

I don't care what people think, so not been embarrassed. I've had a couple of Bad cars, but generally just tatty and falling apart.

Shh you. Gazebo and manning the f**k up.

Yeah, as below, its obviously been like it the whole time, and although I've driven this car, I guess I didnt look for it. Too right I need a unit, I'm sort of it on it, but I don't want to be spending like £300 a month really. :D Keeps be busy and sort of off the street lol You're welcome...

Not a huge update here. Have progressed a little further on my build, not a huge amount, mostly just buying stuff. I did mock up my 300mm calipers... I didn't think I'd have any clearance issues, and I was damn right, loads of space! Also mocked up/worked out where to fit my oil cooler. Its...

Mine are tinted, but previous owner did it, and it doesn't look stupid being Flame Red. Infact the fronts were tinted when I bought the car, which were removed instantly, just doing the rear three is legal, fronts are already as tinted as they can be.

Hit it. Can solve a dodgy relay, but probably not in this case I admit lol. I think its unlikely to be aircon related, or even the ECU really. Certainly is a fucker, As said though, I'll have a quick chat to a couple of people, who are more up on VW's than I am and see what they say. And...

Im hoping I can just use the Laguna loom. Need to check wiring diagrams/strip looms, or just do as you said... I also need to decide what to do on the ECU front. LOL, If it was a Clio, I'd have told you exactly how to fix it, and why it has fucked up. Hell, if it was any Renault really, Even a...

Yeah was doing some investigating on the wiring last week or whenever it was. Will hopefully make a start on that properly soon. Its actually going to be miles away from the boot, with the engine in the correct location (tilted a bit) its even further away. Ive decided its going to be pretty...

such love for you.

Pulled the engine out again today... Getting pretty damn good at it now. Removed the bulkhead sound deadening, as I ordered some Nimbus to replace it. Also removed the clutch cable after this photo. Then cut like 1/3 of the chassis leg out... Meaning I could get the engine back in, and...

basically yes, just swap everything across.

When I say gearing is too short, I was meaning I was often requiring a lower gear for corner entry/apex, and then needing to go for the next gear before exiting the corner. You're smashing through the gears and getting into 5th pretty early and being pretty slow. I certainly didn't expect it...

I'd say do mods that you want for a road car, and just use it on track if you like. Lots of people have fun in standard cars. Couple of years ago, a mate had a 1.2 Corsa that he used on track all the time, because of his huge b****cks and learning how to drive a slow car, fast, he was passing...
