maybe interested in one while my exhaust is off

nah just on the road and mainly track days, i wouldnt bother going down a drag strip in a clio as i would lose to most things i reckon :) will wait to hear of maynard or summit unless i can get one somewhere local for a similar price

done :) cheers again dan

cheers Dan thats why i can find those bloody other 2 16mm bolts. I'm literally squashed on my back as the car is on stands in my garage so i have limited movement and view but now you have said that i know where to look. Thanks again, almost there !

still struggling, ive undo two 16mm bolts behind subframe. The subframe is free just wondering what else i need to undo or how to remove the steering rack ? how do i dissattach the steering rack ?

a good pull then a good push to get it in :)

Ive just done them. My friend dropped a dewalt and 18mm socket this morning. soaked them over night and give them abit more lube this morning. Came out a treat. what do i need to undo now, the collar things on the steering rack and them metal support things, i dont know the term for them !

I'm only running standard power and stripped out. I thought it would probably be ok but just wanted to check before i get one. i will pm maynard

Are GSF on here mate ? sounds like a good price to me :)

My Engine is out at the moment for clean up and new parts before finishing it off and getting it ready for track use. Are the standard Genuine Renault clutches up to the job or could anyone recommend what i should get ? cheers mike

cheers dan, well my impact gun hasnt shown up as of yet so it could be tommorow to give it a bash !

what size spanner is it if i fail ! just waiting for impact gun.i might wee on them ha ha

Fred your not helping lol !

phil ive soaked them up. did you use impact gun or a socket wrench ? same here on the front, got half way then they started spinning, i'm hoping rears will be easier. just waiting for someone to drop off 18mm socket, dont know whether to use impact wrench or just try socket set on it ?

I'm debating whether to do it now even though i have the 2 front off, if the nut starts spinning on the rear which it will probably do then i'm going to be in a lot of trouble as it looks near impossible to get a spanner in there :(

Re: Engine is out, Going to take to specialist for cambelt fitment, dephaser pulley,p ahh right major bummer. what do you need to get the tention right on the aux belt kit. was hoping to have this all on or could it be set up for the tention then removed to drop engine back in or any way to set...

Fred what would be your advice prior to attempting rears ? The engine is out the car if this helps :) will soaking them in wd40 prior loosen them you reckon do i need an impact wrench ideally ? the front were a pain so not looking forward to the rear, the problem seems to be that shitty...

managed to get a 16mm socket on it and breaker bar. got the 2 out. is it the same scenario for the rear 2 apart from it looks like an 18mm bolt ? after that what do i need to undo to drop subframe ?

Started undoing the 2 front subframe bolts at the front and got to a point and the nut inside is spinning ! Just been trying to get a offset spanner in there to grp it but dont seem to fit which ever one i use ! Anyone know what type i need or any advice ! without being to grip these with...

Re: 172 Cup track toy! Looking Good mate, i removed my engine about 2 months ago, just need to get back on it now and get things sorted !

I removed the engine about 2 Months ago so that i can clean up the block and fit some new gaskets etc. I really want to get this on the track for the summer but need alittle help as i dont want to attempt the cambelt myself as i know what can happen ! Anyone Wrexham area or NorthWest fancy...

if i was a girl a clio would not impress me at all

Whats the best things to use to clean up engine block and gearbox ? I was thinking of a wire brush and some form of de-greaser. Ant particular degreaser people found better or any good methods of preparation for cleaning then painting ?

surely you can get a 11mm long socket from pretty much anywhere

cheers fred
