Trying to take the head off, first two bolts came off with some encouragement, but the third has managed to sheer most of the head of the torq head bolt clean off leaving a nub that you can't really get purchase on. Tried another bolt and it has started doing the same thing. Anyone has this...

Ahh gotcha, i assumed that is what you meant. It is only the second bang that is relevant, the first is just the bucket seat flexing a little. I do still have the servo, though it is not connected to anything at the moment as the engine is not in the car (I've just blocked it off). But good...

No sliders as they are brembos, but i might try and take the pads out and add some lubricant anywhere there is movement. They were newly refurbed recently. How would the seal in the master cylinder flip over? Should be bled properly, spent a long time putting fluid through. Pedal is not...

Ignore the first couple of clicks, that is just the seat creaking a little as I'm pushing quite hard.

Any ideas what this could be? It's started happening during my rebuild and no idea where to start with it. It seems to happen once after being left a while then not again. Pressing the pedal (while stationary with no servo connected) there is a loud bang and the pedal jolts. Note that the...

I put those stickers on back in 2012 when it was still cool. Not sure if they'll stay. I'm still toying between a clean look or a bit of livery. Given that I will use it on the road it might be best not draw too much attention to myself with loud graphics.

Little update - I've been away quite a lot over the begining of summer so progress has been a little slow. I've also grew very bad at taking pictures, so im just throwing this together. Made a little dash insert with the new gauges and some sheet plastic. It's a little rough around the...

They've offered to let me return them and replace for a length of my chosing... trying to work out if i can be bothered to take them off and work out the correct length.

Good to know, ive reached out to them to see what they say, but it sounds like they are just overlength and this isnt a mistake on my order. Still got some time before the builds finished so I might change them for some better fitting ones if they offer a refund.

tell a lie, looks like i actually bouth the BRT ones: http://brtmotorsport.co.uk/collections/braided-brake-hose-kits/products/clio-172-182-ap-brembo-brake-hose-kit

Digging up an old thread! does anyone know what length theyre meant to be? I bought these ones and they much too long: lines

My plan was to set up the cams as you normally would in a cambelt change, get the car running and idling and handing it over to engine dynamics to finish the job. Also using the OEM tensioner.

Is there a way to edit the body of a thread once its been posted that I'm missing? I can't see it. Anyway, I wanted to add that there has been some discussion around which valve springs to use, some saying the catcam ones are too aggressive and the 197 valve springs are actually more suitable...

Afternoon all! I did have a quick search on this topic but I didn't find anything concrete (and within the last few years). So after realising that the cams I have to go in my engine build are not compatible with the standard valve springs I have resigned to the idea of removing the hard from...

please delete the above, posted in completely the wrong seciton! :ROFLMAO:.

Small update today, decided to take the dash out to tidy up behind. Id already made the following mods: Cut down the mounting frame - I figured this is to hold the the airbags and the weight of the dash, but with the airbags this want really required. I kept the mounts at the ends and left...

Hey Everyone, I am planning on replacing my cams for cat cams later in the year and I wondered if there is a guide on here for doing so? I'm aware that there is a guide on here for a cambelt change which I have read but it appears to lack a number of torque settings for various bolts and I...

Ugh you're probably right, but it looks so cool! I wonder if anyone does 5mm axle spacers... Wheels are second hand, i was trying to find the et stamped on the rim but failed. Looks like they come in et25 amd et35 based on the team dynamics website. I dont think theyre et25 surely.

I completely forgot to check! I'm quite annoyed with myself. Will check in next week and update! I'm more worried about the wheel to the rear quarter at the moment! I guess I could max out the shock stiffness and raise the ride height. Or just remove the 10mm axle spacers.

Hmm, well hopefully the amount ive done it so far hasnt done any damage to the other wheel bearing. I have put the shafts back in now, and i can confirm once torqued up the play in the new wheel bearing has completely disappered. Also new wheels got delivered today! So on they went, and...

first vote for the tyres being OK! It does sound like UV is the big tyre killer when it comes to the rubber hardening and these have been inside pretty much their whole life. Still, I'll probably replace the tyres to be save.

Eek, Ive been doing this! There's no engine in at the moment so I the weight on them is significantly reduced, still a no go? Are you better of just having the shafts in dangling? I'm worried they'd get damaged when rolling the car around.

Cheers dude! yeh i want to keep the posts going just so i have my own record to read back on. Though looking at this thread i definitely need to proof read more. Thanks for the feedback on that though, perhaps once the wheels come tomorrow I will put a drive shaft in and just torque it down to...

So i double checked the date stamp, it was 3410 - so August 2010, i must have got them pretty fresh out the mold... 15 years ago. Sounds like the tyres definitely need to go, I agree with the above that it would avoid any confusion if there was simply a legal requirement to scrap tyres over a...

This forum is really a shell of what it once was sadly. But i want to push forward with my project thread purely so i have somewhere to look back on this in the future (I should probably download my updated to be honest). So - Absolutely no progress was made over the winter, but that was part...

Managed to post this without any context! So, here are the discs, i went at them with a wire brush drill attachment to get the surface off, there is a bit of pitted rust you can see in the close up. Last used ~2013 before the care was laid up. The tyres are a slightly more complicated...

So I am getting to work on restoring my old clio and I'm wondering if the old tyres and discs can be saved or if they need to be binned.

Did fit these? were they correct? Im currently in the same position that i cannot for the life of me work out what length theyre meant to be!

Is there any go to place people in Essex use for machining 197 callipers to fit under 15s? Better yet does someone on here do it in exchange for my nudes?
