Lol. Remote alarm. Sneaky.... :)

Re: 'Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc' Dodgy earth fuel relay sender There was some comedy though. I managed to lock myself out of the house just as Alex arrived. And the lock on the bonnet was stuck. Took us 45 mins of 'ninja hands' to get into the car! Lol.

Re: 'Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc' The flamer runs! AlexW - hero! :) Budgie - hero! I'm so chuffed.

As Gray said, ask @oilman at Opie Oils on here. He was great sorting a very specific grade of gearbox oil for my gripper diff in the clio. Just seen micks post above, if it's not plated then it's less of a concern I believe. You still want a decent oil though.

Re: 'Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc' A potato you say? Where is Daniel when you need him.....

FLOL. Just noticed that. SpecialSpecial Edition. For winners.

Was this after you brought the exhaust next to my head and revved to 6500 rpm. You're lucky we're friends or I'd have put my boot through your face.

I second this. Although I have you ear marked as being an early casualty if I'm honest Paulo ;)

Re: 'Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc' Thanks Morgan, I'll give that a try. :)

Re: 'Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc' Cheers guys. I'm trying to find someone who can paint the inlet lettering white without goofing it up. Which counts me out. :)

A reasonable amount of loom came out and the weight of the pump. But it's not major weight saving. I did mine because the ABS pump get blowing fuses on track days. I didn't want ABS on track anyway really.....

Good progress being made! :) I did chuckle at the 'clio graveyard' materialising on the driveway. Bet the neighbours love it ;)

I've done this on mine. Basically just source an entire Cup setup (incl lines) and swap it all over. @Dan@SJM did mine so he can give better guidance.

Oooh. Very kind of you mate. Do you mind the trip over to Reading? Which evening works for you bud. I can reimburse you petrol and time :)

We tried to fire it off Mikes DCi. Nothing. Not even a splutter. I'll start with chips tests, then start cleaning stuff up. I don't run arch liners (looking for a pair) so he may be onto a winner with the relay to the solenoid.

Lol! You confuse me good sir! Stand by your beds on Saturday then chaps (or your phones....) :)

It conducted electricity to fire when Dan tested it. So it's not that. I had to jump it to get it to start to put it in the garage in the first place before the engine swap. I thought it was the battery at the time, although now I am not so sure...

Cheers bud, I'll give that a whirl this weekend. Stuck in meetings for the next two days. At least it's not the engine! :)

Update. Seems to be confirmed as electrical. I put it in 3rd and rocked it and the aux belt has moved. The garage can't pick it up until Monday, so I'll just have to wait. It's sat on the drive looking sorry for itself!

Cheers bud, i'll give you a ring. Won't be up on axle stands, as i've wheeled it outside to get it on a beaver tail tomorrow.

I'm in bed mate! lol! You about at 8ish tomorrow am?

Have to ask Mike dude, where are they?

Don't worry bud, only discovered it wouldn't fire again about 30 mins ago. Thought the new starter would sort it. On the plus side, bled all the brakes, and everything else is done! If j-tech can't find it tomorrow, you about later this week? Haven't painted the box bud. Its exactly as you saw...

You in London this week at all bud?

Lol! I bloody hope not. Its off to J-tech tomorrow, so they should be able to fix it I hope!

PPPANNNIIICCC. :) Its not because I have painted over something is it? lol!

Sorry Dan, what do you mean by this? Remember i'm dumb :) Gearbox was, clutch wasn't. I think. But Dan@SJM can confirm. Yep. And tried a different battery straight out of a working clio. I'll get them to check it bud. It is driving me nuts. And budgie, lol!

Daniel - Machine gun noise seems to come from the starter motor. Mark - I'll do that, but how could the engine go from turning over on the stand, to not turning over when put in the bay. Literally craned into the bay and bolted up?

It doesn't get to that point. But the engine turned over fine when Dan@SJM checked it / compression tested it before it was fitted. Seems electrical, which fills me with fear!

So, put a new engine in the flamer, wouldn't start. Machine gun type noise. Sounded and thought it was the starter motor. Swapped it earlier for a second hand one which is proven. Same noise still, no start. @Budgie and I have tried to pin point a bad earth. Charged the battery up. Tried to jump...
