v6 espace i'm feeling :approve:

its got a bigger caf, so noise will change from standard. gains are arguable.

lol. Thanks for the help mate. Will post up when i get them done. Hoping to have it done by WSR :D Might have the new airbox in by they too.

Ah ok. Will i have any issues with bubbling from the heat coming through the paint? or should the sanding, spraying make this less likely due to a more rought surface to which the next layer is added.

how many coats? 2?

I know you can get High temp lacquer? so might get that. Think its for exhausts, so much hotter than the bay. would I need to prime, sand, spray, sand, spray? If that makes sense?

Going to spray up my plenum, fuel rail, TB and engine mount/cam cover. Anyone got any words of wisdom? I was thinking of following shadowness's guide on spraying for it? Would i need to use VHT on it? Also, would lacquer be ok under there? Want it to get easy to keep clean finish as the...

Shame you can't get the decals, cage and harnesses to match the car colours.

Denty mate i'm sooooo jealous. Best colour by far!!!

so the dial changes numbers as you press the red/blue buttons then?

:lolup:

Have a copy of that very guide binded at home ;) Dave is a legend!

shouldn't be the wheel bearing. They don't make a knocking noise.

Nice work as always paul. Love the 50/50 on black cars. Polishing my RB is hard work to see the improvements i've found.

Jet wash and shampoo (wheels as well) Tar removal Rinse Dry Clay Polish Wax (2 coats - buff off coat 1 then give it another coat the day after.) Windows Could i suggest some autoglym bumper car for all the plastics too. Adds a little something ot the finish imo. Presumably you're using G101 for...

such a shame. Bet that hurt. The murcialagos have been said to lose grip uncontrolably when pushed too hard.

one sec .... http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showpost.php?p=4582090&postcount=625

yeah the ali one. Does it need to be strong? Is it not just to prevent something hitting the belt?

Does it have to be strong? Glad someone said that. Think its defo going to get scrapped the :approved:

Only just seen this thread. OMG. Car looks sweet!!! Just read everything but didn't notice what charger you're using? You're getting 400bhp from charger and major head work yes? Whats the bhp per tonne looking like?

hmmm, will have a check which bit i'm on about then. Convinced it was cambelt cover.

Rang wigan renault today. Guy didn't seem to be able to find them very easily. Anyways, 7700 260 096 £56.15 plus VAT 7700 267 902 £7.26 plus VAT For some reason the system was saying that the airbox was from a R25? :S

Not the top cover. Think it is in the middle or the lower one (not 100%), but it's just a steel plate. True, but you would think that they could keep costs down. A plastic cover would still be functionally as good. A lot of other cars have them on.

Thought it was running James? why you need to time it? Belt overdue?

Steer clear of jet washing. Could be more trouble than its worth. I use a damp (not dripping) sponge. Wipe round the dirty areas (clean sponge as you go). Then before it dries i go over it with a microfibre (use old ones as the never come clean again). Then dress everything with autoglym bumper...

Why does it have so much unnecessary weight in it? - Cambelt cover could be plastic? - Fuel rail guard? - Big lump of iron under the DS engine mount. I'm sure there are probably more things under there that could be made lighter. I was thinking of having a plastic cambelt cover molded...

:drunk:

You shouldn't be getting squeel if you have done all the above? its strange. Presumbably you flushed the fluid when you changed from dot 4 to dot 5.1? Could you have siezed caliper/sliders?

Tried a breakers yard tonight. They wanted 55quid delivered for it. May as well get it direct with trade discount.

put it this way. My mates ph1 was exactly the same. whinning like a b**ch. Did it out of gear also when reved. Felt fine to drive, Then BOOOOOOM. Gear box was fooooked. Thought the noise was the cambelt (hadn't been changed yet on a 2000 :o) He's just paid 550quid for a full box refurb as all...
