I think you maybe onto something, got home today and took the rear lights out. The pictures speak for themselves. I did try to clean up the right one, but i think i will just replace and see if this sorts it. If someone can tell me how to de-pin the connector that would be awesome! Someone has...

What i mean is setting up the geo for like a fast road setup kind of thing. I haven't heard about issues with the Renault mounts, not saying i don't believe you. I did hear they were redesigned is that the one with the spacer then? What problems do they have?

I did check and top that up also. I will check rear lights but i did sand back the earths in the boot recently.

So before i went on holiday the car was flickering with the STOP and battery lights on and off. I was told it would be the alternator so i swapped it for a new one. When it was fitted i still had the lights coming on under hard acceleration. I think the plug wasn't in properly and since i took...

Anyone who has been reading my project thread will know the car is going through a major suspension overhaul in the coming weeks. I will list the parts and questions out below: * New ABS rings * New CV boots maybe joints * New steering arms and gaiters * Bilstein B14s * New top mounts front &...

Wait what is @182_steve going turbo?!?!

I will have to come up your way then so you can buy me it personally ha! Not sure if i will be attending many shows this year, but see what i can do would like to get out on track. More updates later today/tomorrow.

Haven't even received them yet ha, i'll have a MacDonalds tho ;) Thanks for the heads up, I will order some of those then they sound really good. Might get some of that ACF-50 stuff as well. So today after work i went and visited @colesy all i can say is wow lol the scenery and roads around...

@Dr Jekyll do you have any recommendations for protection? I noticed your covers which i may order some, did you cable tie them to the show as well? What is the best for thread coating?

There is a free way to test the TDC sensor. If you have the car running and then jiggle the wire for it and it cuts out or something happens then you know thats the problem. If not its probably alright. Renault did change the design with a new type of plug so you can check if it has that.

They do indeed Steve, they do indeed! Hopefully all this suspension work will make a big difference, atm when breaking from moderate to high speed the car can pull quite hard in either direction and the back end wants to come around! Also when going for an overtake for example if the road is a...

Yer i believe they do so no worries there. Don't you just love it when you get a box from Germany? To say im a little excited is an understatement lol.

Do you know which ones i would need? I have seen a few different sizes and teeth etc.

Being off work is never a good thing because you end up spending all day online looking at car parts. I have now just ordered the Bilsteins and made a list of all the other parts i want to buy in the next week or so. I want to replace all bushes and suspension components so if i miss anything...

Well haven't updated this much, haven't had much to update really. I have been on holiday and training etc so haven't been massively using the car. Before i went away i did notice the battery and stop lights were occasional flickering away on the dash. With a bit of research people were saying...

The car is now back it was an expensive job! Didn't have enough time to get the parts for the EPAS conversion so that will have to wait for another day :( The car doesn't feel right to me seems like its a bit vague especially at higher speeds and corners. I did hit the curb on Saturday by...

Yer luckily enough the belt never came off or the pump didn't seize. Got the car back to Chris yesterday and we had a look defo looks like the pump itself has shat its pants. Waiting to hear more today. What i am really concerned about is the fluid contaminating the bloody day old brakes...

Not good news this morning, driving to work and get a phone call from my dad saying there was oil on the drive where my car was. Didn't think to much of it, pulled off the motorway and the power steering pump has shat its pants everywhere! Now the car and me are stuck in bloody Reading! On the...

Fair play to you, i would of loved to do something like that when i was 19 worth a s**t ton now! It really does depend on condition, spec, engine etc seen a few for like 2/3k and some for 11k so big range. Im hoping to get a decent one over here on the road for 8k.

Yer they probably are, use a 1JZ single turbo lump. Nice, i take it you mean intergrale?

Well i love Japanese cars at heart, as well as the normal Skylines etc i have a lot of love for the Toyota Chasers. I was talking to my mate about it and he said to me if i didn't do it now i probably never would and then when it gets older and can be imported to the USA the prices will rocket...

Today's update is brakes, dropped the car to Chris at Beaniesport yesterday and picked it up today. Went for a drive afterwards to bed them, should be able to get a better feel for them tomorrow. On other news the car maybe up for sale soon as i want to buy one of my dream cars.

Bargain if you ask me!

Love this, the interior is sexual!

Car seems to be revving itself at times, i'm not sure if this is relating to the cams being fitted. Andy at Engine Dynamics mentioned that holding onto the revs a bit more was normal. I have just sent the video to him so he can take a look. I would appreciate it if any of you guys had any ideas...

Car will need to be mapped, the car will run a little lumpier but good mid range and top end. Check my build thread or PM me for more.

Just had my 197 cams fitted by ED, i would recommend.

No problem, keep up the good work. I always enjoy coming back and seeing the updates.

Looks lovely, don't suppose you have a throttle body for a 182 in your pile of parts?

I could be interested in dent man, do you want to PM me some details please?
