Nothing wrong with Rota for road use. They are worth about £250 if in good nick

Sweet buns ;)

Can i have a quick guide on how to do this? I'm doing it soon. Never done a clio before.

Yep they've got them. They're just doing them in down time as i'm not in a hurry for them.

Small local machine shop FTW lol

She's healthly then :)

Driffield East Yorkshire.

Sure guys. Its not some dodgy back street place. They are very skilled guys. They made this for my MX-5. Skyline fitment turbo downpipe adaptor. I told them when i wanted and they designed it and made the CAD program and made it for me all for £30!

Too much money. lol

My local engineering company is doing mine on my 172 for £25. I know BenR's will have a lot more work in them and he ports the full thing but for the others who just machine the openings where do they get prices of over £100 from?

+1 million Why a Club man? Why not something err i don't know..... good?

Do you know the History of that car. I'm sure its the one i got given to use when my TT was been painted. Has it ever been near Hull audi?

Lets be honest Neil. It's going to be a right ball ache lol I need another STD exhaust too. As this one is rotten to f**k. ATM is got about 300 screw driver holes in it from me poking rust.

Old box lol New box

Well since the box has gone bang big style. I'm in two minds what to do with it lol I've bought a 30k box to fit to it regardless.

I think a std one will do.

Can you use the volvo 440 clutch still? Simce my box has s**t its self i may as well do the clutch too.

I don't know why it wasn't whining either. Then again in my friends old 106 the gearset was buggered and the only thing keeping it together was the movement of the engine and the fact the car was rolling. When we stopped it litterally fell out of the casing. As for this gearbox/diff Its...

Nath....... can i have your diff pwease/

I was followed most of the way home by my friend and co owner of the car in a transit van. I think he would have probably flashed me if he saw the diff casing and 3litres of gearbox oil fly at him on the M1 lol

I'd consider driving at 90 in 5th on a motorway junction which is a long sweeping bend quite normal tbh hardly stressful on an engine which has gearing as tall as the clio's. I didn't set out to make it understeer its just the tyres fitted aren't brilliant in the damp. If i'd done a lap of...

PH-1's have retardedly long ratio's.

The gearbox hunt begins.

Could hardly have had it checked it over in the car park where i picked it up. Would have a been a jack the car up, and take lower engine covers off. I don't know of anyone who does that lol

I've been thinking that. We stuck to a happy 80-90 on the way home. So just over 3k rpm all the way home. As soon as we got back it was washed and put into storage. Haven't even had a chance to thrash the damn thing. Probably for the best.

The box and diff are bone dry in side. And have been of a while. God knows why it wasn't whining. I'll speak to last owner but i can't see me getting anything for it. It was cheap and he was desperate to sell. Maybe there was a reason lol.

Yup

He mentioned the oil leak happened when he moved it to where i picked it up from. So its fairly new i'd say.

Yep. 'Small pool'

Whines a little when not under load but no worse than normal. Thats what i can't understand. PH1 172. As for not seeing it, it was behind the Engine cover but i'd expect him to remove that when looking for a leak......
