Engine is back home from its little tweaking. Just been tinkering ready to get it back in. Steering rack in looped and blocked off, I've also blocked off the hole in the bulkhead where the heater pipes pass through with a piece of carbon. Need to fitted me power flex rack bushes and...

Keep chatting away mate lol I enjoy reading your thread. :smile: Looks like your making good progress. How much were the engine mounts you brought and why they taking so long? Got my engine back the other day and started working on mine again

Right, collecting my engine tomorrow night :) It's had a new Dephaser pulley and full cambelt replacement along with special timing dialled in :) Actually looking forward to getting it back and planing on doing abit of work on the car tonight. Might just be getting the bug back. Got a lot...

Shell looks good. Jealous your making good progress even with swapping shells lol I need to get moving with mine.

Have you looked at goodridge aeroquip fittings for their braided brakes? That's what I'll use when I do mine.

Usually there m10x1.0 or m12x1.0. Them blue and silver unions look like aeroquip fittings no idea what size that they are lol What size master cylinder did you go for?

Rusty ph1. Every cloud has a silver lining!

Well it's more than likely staying but motorvation is low to get anything done. Only thing I've done is take the engine for a new belt, dephaser and timing altered. Took the engine in the boot of my Leon lol

Didn't know pms did them?! Can't see them on their site either?

I'm sure I've seen fancy/uprated/aftermarket/custom breather plates somewhere but can't find any when I search lol Anyone know of anything like this? Mines a 172 and looking the get the open neck that goes into the inlet blanked off.

Thanks. The light was a prank that my mate played. I gave him my hole saws and drill to borrow, when he returned them I was out and told him the garage was open and to put them under the Clio. I got back home to find massive holes in my headlight lol

Well insurance and tax are due on both me cars and a house has come up that I like, house a garage and is decently priced so need a bit of extra cash quick. Desperately trying to work somert out.

May need to break this unfortunately

Typical. Lol all that for a crank pulley lol So need the tools. I'd like a set of grpN's like yours if I have to buy some tho lol. They available from anywhere?

I've just got the cam locking tool and crank pin tbh. Was hoping I could just lock it with either the crank pin or cam locking tool and gun it off lol

I just wanna replace the crank pulley with my light weight item. It's had a new belt and dephaser when I brought it so.

Not sure to be fair it'll road legal tho :) I wanna enter the Javelin sprint series.

I've got a decent gun no so that's no probs. So will I not lose the timing undoing the crank bolt then? Thought I would?! How do I know I've got the crank pin in correctly? Sorry I'm used to vag engines.

Can't lock the engine up as it seems mine is slightly out So can't get the crank pulley off. Any other way? After this fail I needed some inspiration

Fitted some pulleys :)

Removed the pas gubbings yesterday night And removed some of the gunk from the bay too

I haven't mate, I just squirted tiger seal in side the window channels (side, top and small front bit by the mirror if this makes sense lol) And pushed the window up with a bit of wood.

I'm planning the same to get a bigger filter. The one supplied is tiny ain't they lol and I got a ramair filter. I had a massive green cotton filter on my last track car, thinking about hooking my itg maxogen up see if it'll work well or not. Would be over kill on a clio but get the...

Oh I've got drivers side frame :( I've got side mounts tho I'll dig em out me garage. I'm sure there brand new.

Thanks very much. Yeah it's solid piece now and weighs a fair but too.

Looks good mate :) I've got an omp frame and brand new side mounts to sell if your interested?

Finally my parts from Renault turned up And some nimbus. I decided to paint the engine whilst it was out and I was waiting for parts. I forgot what a pain in the ass it is to paint engines lol takes for ever.

If the pedal is rock hard with a nipple open I'd say servo or master issue.

I've got a ML270 which I was gunna use to take my towing test and tow my Clio with, but would I get away with not taking the test then? If I'm reading this right? Also considered using a A frame as mines road legal.

Put the engine back in with my new box, fit my new front brakes fit my Brand New RS2 that I've had hiding for about 6months now.
