That blue bend is just one I mocked up quick.
I've order different degree bends in black to find the best option. Hopefully can straighten it out a bit.
I nicked the intake off my Leon to see what fit/size/look was like (it's a VWR intake which is basically a ITG air box)
Was thinking along this line with the civic tyre R scuttle scoop.
Have seen a Williams scuttle intake I'll have a look at tho's now
Think to start with I'll use the filter...
Managed a few hours yesterday on the Clio.
Firstly I move the main section of loom underneath the gear box mounting.
Thought it would be easy but was a right pain in the arse.
I then cleaned all my forge coolant hoses and push fitted them to make sure they all fitted nicely.
This...
Chin up bud something will come along. Work always pops up for the people who want to go and get work :up:
Car is coming along nicely. Hope you had a good Xmas despite everything.
On Christmas Eve I decided to bolt the RS2 inlet on to give me an idea of what else needed to be done.
Was only planing to actually put the manifold on but got carried away and put the hole kit on.
Placed the radiator in place to check clearance on the throttle body which was far to close...
I tried that but with the PMS pulleys the inner ribs are deeper compared to the out lip, so I couldn't get a belt that would stretch over the outer lip and then get good tension on the belt.
Is that a cup alternator Tom?
Thanks mate, the bay was proper filthy lol
I tried it with out the PAS delete kit but it look like the belt would catch the water pump (hard to explain) but it would run round the top of crank pulley and under the water pump, then the belt that run off them bottom off the crank pulley up to...
Engine went back in today :cool:
Before it did tho I gave the engine bay a good clean
Before
After
Fitted the 1.2 heat shield with new nuts aswell.
Next was to address the alternator setup. I took a chance and order the PMS lightweight pulley kit with PAS delete kit a little...
Not done much to the Clio till tonight.
Had a massive tidy up around the car and carried on getting the engine ready to put back in.
Finished the alternator mounting and figured out the belt I needed. Need to get a new mounting bolt that goes through the alternator as its too long.
I also dug...
Sorry lol, I didn't finish what I was typing for some strange reason in that post. I meant did you have a rough idea of when your'll have them finished lol?
Price not to fused lol as I was happy to pay the PMS price lol.
Are they going to be made of billet like the PMS kit? And do you have a rough idea?
This is the last piece of the puzzle for my rear beam but in no rush
Started today off pretty well,
Changed the steering rack bushes for me black powerflex set. Took a little while as my 17mm socket fell into the subframe 😧
Old bushes
Then dragged my engine out the other garage and started putting it together
Torqued the flywheel and clutch up...
Not really. Finally got my parts from Renault so can start finialising stuff for the engine to go back in. Need to fill the rack boot with grease, change the rack bushes, fit flywheel clutch and box and finish my alternator setup then swing inter lump in. Need to get on with it as my mate wants...
Engine is back home from its little tweaking.
Just been tinkering ready to get it back in.
Steering rack in looped and blocked off, I've also blocked off the hole in the bulkhead where the heater pipes pass through with a piece of carbon.
Need to fitted me power flex rack bushes and...
Keep chatting away mate lol I enjoy reading your thread. :smile:
Looks like your making good progress. How much were the engine mounts you brought and why they taking so long?
Got my engine back the other day and started working on mine again
Right, collecting my engine tomorrow night :)
It's had a new Dephaser pulley and full cambelt replacement along with special timing dialled in :)
Actually looking forward to getting it back and planing on doing abit of work on the car tonight.
Might just be getting the bug back.
Got a lot...
Usually there m10x1.0 or m12x1.0.
Them blue and silver unions look like aeroquip fittings no idea what size that they are lol
What size master cylinder did you go for?
Well it's more than likely staying but motorvation is low to get anything done.
Only thing I've done is take the engine for a new belt, dephaser and timing altered.
Took the engine in the boot of my Leon lol
