Just buy an engine off here and job done

Basically if you are trying to start an engine with no oil, you are knackering said engine. I know some cars will kill the ignition if the oil light comes on but I don't know if the clio is one of them. What other damage is there to the rest of the car if the sump has been damaged like that?

Sounds like hit curb, smashed sump, lost oil. If it was turned off straight away it should be alright. New sump, new oil and filter. If it ran without oil it's fecked.

Constantly turns over or just turns for a few seconds then stops? Pop off the fuel pipe from the injector rail and see if any fuel there.

It's a good place and only down the road for me. If I get time I may pop down for a quick look

Bit more info required. What does it do when you try to start it? Airbags gone off or Anything?

Don't forget to budget for a fireproof helmet, racesuit and gloves too if going the msa sprint and hillclimb route Clios do tick the boxes Personally and probably biased I would go for a 172 cup, decent suspension (I used koni dampers and eibach springs) , rear anti roll bar (whiteline), decent...

The ph1 TB is cable operated and the ph2 is fly by wire. The mounting hole positions are slightly different on then too, that's why I made the adaptor plate with the 2nd hole pitch rotated slightly so it can bolt on.

Latest update. Finally got the brake caliper seals and link pipe from AP. Not the best service but got there in the end. All reassembled now so hopefully fit them on Thursday. Today's lunchtime job was to make the adaptor plate to be able to use a ph2 fbw throttle body on the ph1 inlet...

Epas column was quite easy to fit as had no dash in at the time, getting the screw in the top of the epas ecu was probably the hardest part as I forgot to fit it before putting the dash back. The shifter is a scenic special that I bought on here last year.

Sorted a bit more wiring, tidied up the crap where the alarm was bodged, rejoined them and put proper heat shrink on the joints. Decided I havnt got the time or spare cash to get the dash top flocked so started to get the rest of the dash back in.....until I couldn't find any more of the screws...

Bit more progress tonight, rear cage fitted except for b pillar stand offs as I havnt got the welder here but I will do them with the tig when I do the seat rails. Also managed to get the dash lower in. Would like to get the dash top flocked but will see how much it is and how quick they can do...

Back on it again today. Rear bilsteins are fitted, as are the rear lights, boot catch, boot seal, black spoiler (not a cup one but doubt I will ever notice any difference). Positioned the wiring to the rear lights, just need to sort some clips or something. Started to position and mount the...

Heard the jump is a bit harsh, mate Brandon cracked the bell housing on his darrian on it. He commented on how well your clio goes!

Definitely get a rear arb, set to hard they will oversteer a treat, really helps turn in too. I've never had a problem with cable setup handbrake but the new car is having a vertical hydraulic one!

Very close to some!! Hairpin bends round them etc. First rally I ever did by Telford, we were flying down this Lane and the road went 45 right into 45 left, but straight on at the 45 right was someone's drive. One of the competitors in a Talbot sunbeam went straight down the drive into the...

Nah, but at 3am there ain't much traffic about and all houses within a certain distance of the rally route are PR'd to make them aware there is a rally on that night.

Not trying hard enough then, that road is awesome especially at night, used it quite a few times on road rallies

Yeah, my 2 year old V2 is no longer legal as it doesn't have hans posts. Havnt decided whether to hire or buy a new helmet (I can borrow a hans) as I doubt I will do many this year

That's a shame, but family comes first!! What helmet and hans device have you got.........??!!! Lol

Cetus stages at Wigan. As I've been sprinting on there the last 2 years and previously codriven on there I thought it would be the best event for me to start on with the new car. Might need a codriver yet Mark if my mates misses can't swop her work shift!!

Todays update.......I have decided it needs sorting a bit quicker so to motivate myself I have set a target of 6 weeks to get it finished as I am going to enter a rally!

Finally managed to get the rest of the interior painted, should have finished it yesterday but ran out of paint. Not a perfect job but looks a lot better than blue and primer. Before After Whilst that was drying I fitted the driveshafts, hubs and new bilstein suspension. Still no brakes...

Have you got a rear anti roll bar yet Alan?

Hubs are ready to go on.

Sounds like it's only had light front damage, wouldn't bother me as long as the chassis legs were undamaged. Probably a lot of cars out there that have had a bit of damage and had stuff replaced and not been recorded.

Having to work all weekend so not getting to the garage to work on the car but I have managed to skim my rotors in my dinner hour. Will hopefully do my spigot rings, sort the hubs and fit the longer studs tomorrow. Can't rebuild my AP calipers yet as I'm still waiting for the correct size seals...

I've just sprayed mine with the Aldi metal spray paint in grey. Come out alright. Also use the Aldi black paint to spray the metal dash bar thingy too. £2.99 a can

Yeah they are good, I've got them on mine

Spent the afternoon spraying a bit of the inside today so I can get the dash back in. I have sprayed the metal dash bar thingy gloss black, the front pillars, front edge of the roof and upper front bulkhead in satin black, and the front footwells are now anthracite (the rest of the interior will...
