Appreciate this mornings lesson :) I wasn't to know, I have to assume when I'm buying sundries from a main dealer they know what they're talking about and go with what they tell me. On the other hand I know the Clio uses Type D coolant so I'm ok when ordering it.

Ok I'll have a look, it'll mean the bumper back off and to try and re route the hose run with the reservoir in a different location. I'm not sure where I can mount it as room is tight. It's that Dom has run his charger conversion for 12k with the reservoir setup in the same place and assume he's...

Typical! And that's with the parts guy asking a Renault tech to confirm. I wouldn't mind but they also have the reg number and CB22 code to work with.

Morning Dan, oil reservoir? Do you mean the pot with the blue lid? This is in the same place as where Dom has his located. Regards oil do you mean the Rotrex traction fluid? That's handy to know as I've been told it's around the £100/l mark

Spent a few hours this evening in the workshop, I made sure the kettle was on and coffee was made. My job is to supply the parts for my mate who's doing the work, so in between anything being done on the Clio I'm running about picking parts up and ordering. A follow on to the restrictor post...

I really appreciate your comments :) and everyone else for that matter. I'll be at the workshop later today, tonight we'll be plumbing in the boost hoses and fixing the FMIC and oil cooler in place (amongst other small bits) so more photos to follow.

Without measuring pulley sizes and working out ratios to find the pulley for the bhp, restrictors will do. Out of the 2 options it's going to be easier to swap over restrictors while it's been mapped on the rollers to reach the target bhp. All i have to do is remove the 90 degree silicon hose...

A small update, restrictors. My understanding of a restrictor is something needed to hold the power at a certain bhp. The restrictor has an internal hole at a certain diameter to achieve the bhp level, the bigger the hole the more power. The other way from what I've been told is to change the...

At what BHP are Megane 225 rendered inefficient? If that makes sense. I see people going 630cc so at what point is it best to run the 630s?

I have the same problem with 1 of my rear coilover dampers, They're covered under a 2 year warranty. I have the original receipt showing they're a year old and between SPAX and K Tec Racing (purchased from them by the previous owner) the pair of them will be sorted free of charge.

If you're still looking for foglight blanks I have a set of genuine Renault blanks that will clip into place. They'll need paint as they're white

I might give him a call, and cheers. It will be ready for FCS14 but not sure if I'm going... Gutted Sangliers was cancelled :(

Ideally i need them fitted to the car before it goes anywhere, i'm not sure EFI can map a std ECU

Would it be too much trouble for you to take the parts off the Clio and send them to me? I'll PM you an offer if that's ok

Potential lifesaver Chi, i need the fuel sender unit from out of the tank and the fuel return line. It runs all the way from the right hand side of the fuel rail under the car to the sender unit, i believe it's in 2 pieces and clips together under the car. If you can sell them to me that would...

GrP N cords i'll have you know, quick release :o

Awesome, what you doing with your old wheels Arthur?

A few more bits done in the time allowed this evening. Coolant hoses on, radiator in. Finished off the top inlet, thought I'd make it look a little different by sanding back the Renaultsport letters back to a half polished effort. Also mocked up the intercooler and pipe run, this should be all...

So another evening spent up at the workshop. While the proper work is being done like the engine going back in I'm tucked away in the corner spraying a couple of brackets and the top inlet. A little rub down, primer and satin black on the alternator brackets. The top inlet rubbed down a little...

For what it's worth an ok read. I know it's on a different car but interesting all the same, it gave me pointers in which one to go for. http://www.fastcar.co.uk/2012/05/04/performance-car-air-filter-test/

They're genuine Renault foglight blanks Craig

Craig I have some phase 1 fog blanks that clip into place if you're interested (and fit)

Brilliant, I'll be in touch nearer to the time for prices etc

Hi Lee, really appreciate that. It's probably going to be another 4 weeks, RS Tuning in Leeds need at least 2 weeks notice to when it's booked in. I'd say if it's been mapped it should be ok to drive back so I assume it would need taking up to Leeds from the Colchester area and hopefully drive...

I thought I'd paint a couple of bits as the weather's nice today, it should be enough drying time for when they go back on the engine the early part of next week. I'm also going to paint the rocker cover and inlets in satin black too to match the satin black hard boost pipe and intercooler. It...

I do have a friend with a trailer, worse case I'll hire one for £65 the weekend to take it up to Leeds. It'll get there one way or another :)

Correct, I'd at least need the transponder and the owner keeps the blade from the key. The other theoretical option is to swap my ECU, UCH and key for the other but then it presents another problem. I have a 182, the other Clio is a 172 Cup model so the UCH on mine might have items that his UCH...
