Mk1 escort looks amazing

Looks awesome mate, can't believe how much the wheels suit the car. Soon as mines on the road we'll have to go for a blast out some where.

See this all the time and its always a shame. Breaking it will see your parts go to other people's projects, plus get more cash towards your business. What I'd be tempted to do, is sell off bits to get money back and put car back to standard and get some use out of it.

Good call @marinemackay2003 I have a shopping list for RPD and new flywheel bolts are on it, just never knew they come with thread lock. Thanks for the heads up

That brilliant thanks @Arran_

We use loctite at our work but it too strong, fly wheels bolts need thread lock but nothing too strong that you can't remove then if need be

Few different types, strengths the the loctite range. Don't want one too weak or unable to take them off again

Oh dear, that's terrible. You need banning for that

Best thread lock to use on flywheel bolts? Thanks gaz

Didn't hang about getting them on, looks loads better, actually makes me wonder if I've done the rite thing lol. The blast out did scare me a little tbh!!! The thing is mental, never been in a Clio that still forces you back in your seat in 4th. Bet its nice having tread again

Can't beat a bit of discount! Haha thanks mate, soon as my cars on the road I'll pay him a vist

How did you rate the Jon Ashley Exhaust on your 182? Thinking of using him, did you have it mild or stainless steel? Thanks

This sounds like a good thread, you building up a track car or daily?

Absolutely loved reading this thread, nice way to spend Sunday morning in bed. I remember your old 182, made me want a Jon Ashley exhaust and pop and bang rs turner. Your 172 really shows how nice these cars are as a standard unit. Don't know if its just me but still think theses cars stand out...

No way! always use to see it taking my lad to nursery, never knowing what was under the bonnet. Use to have speed lines if I remember rite?

Love this car, did this car ever live in Cannock or do you ever go to cannock? Not many around in this colour

This is what I'd want if I didn't care about fuel costs, really like it and is a real sleeper.

I'll keep you posted on the karting and yes I'm on latest this week.

Just read this whole thread..........now I feel poor. Look forward to seeing this finished pal

Haha I don't think many folk drive like Ste, have to keep telling him of for drifting his mx5 every where lol. Your laps look fast and smooth, normally the fastest way. Saying that arranging a night for karting soon, you should come. Your future plans sound awesome, look forward to seeing you...

Looks awesome mate

As above, best looking car in a realistic price range, with yours being in the best colour. I have two mate that have got one, one blur other white, parked next to each other white one stands out loads

Just read your whole thread mate, really impressed with what you've done to it. Imo all the rite things! Would love a ride out in it time I see you as I thought my brothers was fast as standard. Keep up the good work. What are the plans after the wedding?

Oh yeah, fish brothers didn't notice

Cheers mate, Would love f1's but saving for some speed lines. These will do for now.

I'd buy from here http://renaultpartsdirect.co.uk/products/Renault-Clio-172-%7B47%7D-182-Cam-Belt-Change-Full-Kit-.html

Yes mate, love em! Best buy so far :expressionless:

Cheers mate, I think the problem is that it had a new engine fitted by renault at 70k and folk have seen this and thought they could leave it. Plus I have ocd when it comes to things like this, if I could afford to I would of liked to strip it rite down to bare block and rebuild it. I'll just...

Cheers guys @rsdan your fiesta looks a good base, looks solid too. Always stayed away from mk1 due to panels being silly money. I restored a mk2 xr2, did a rs2000 xr2, had a 2 rs2000. Always loved Ford's but think they are over valued now. Xr3 yours as well?

If your having same issues with a new starter, then its not the starter. If it won't start only when the cars ran (hot) then its heat soak. It's simple, there is something stoping your starter from engaging. Earth or immobiliser is my bet. Who fitted starter motor
