I shouldn’t look at cups makes me wonder why I sold mine 😭 looks like a cracking example!

@George@RTR_Parts

I’ll check mine when I’m home but my gut is that that’s right to allow for some thermal expansion

As incy said I think with that brace they could be too rigid. That being said I’ve put full faith in the opinion of the guy that welded it up for me

Same place mine went, the guy who welded mine said that plate on them is pointless and took it off, time will tell to see if he’s right.

I got mine re-welded, didn’t want to buy another for it to crack again

Really into gears and gasoline at the moment

Mines 52 plate and doesn’t have ESP😃

I need to order some engine bits and I want to order the thicker Megane gasket. Do I need to order a clio headset and then just a Megane headgasket, or can I just order a Megane headset? I’m not sure if the rest of the gaskets transfer over from 172 to Megane 225?

And she’s back on the ground, still some niggly bits to do to the suspension/subframe but she’s largely complete. Engine build next....

Easily worth that IMO. Collecting cars would be great for it

Do love reading your threads, if you can definitely keep it!

Sorry to bring up an old thread, today I managed to pop the fuseable link because the starter wiring touched the manifold 😩 from what I’ve read I need 120amp mega fuse? It’s all standard location etc

If doing it at home on the driveway I’d pull it out the top and do it all in one go. But if you have access to a ramp I’d leave the engine in and drop the subframe/gearbox. As for jobs while it’s out, I’d whip off the sump and fit some arp rod bolts and reseal the sump. I’d also consider...

Some progress today! Subframe back on with new lower arm (offside was already new) new arb bushes inside and out. Also replaced the steering arm and track rod ends . Fitted the rear pms studs, and ran a new fuel return line to the tank as the old one was too short. Aiming to have it rolling...

Mate of mine put some in his 182, I thought the quality was really good and they were comfortable too

And she’s MOT’d! And proceeded to thank me by the alternator internally shorting out and breaking down on the way home 😛 got to love French cars

I haven’t no, still looking at them though as they seem good value! Yep I can’t wait been a long time coming lol Cheers mate! I meant to tag you but I think I was still half asleep when I posted that this morning! Really really love them, way to good to go on track.

Cheers dude! Not too bad, just took time made sure it was all okay and went for it. I always use a dremel for final trimming

Back in my possession at my house, not ideal but where she was can’t be used much longer so outside storage will have to do for now 😔

Likewise to the above, got a bare looking wall lol

Welcome along 😀

New Porsches are terrible for this!! How it’s safe to navigate through 3 sub menus to change a radio is beyond me.

Been out working on the 182 today. But it’s so cold I wasn’t out for long. Can’t wait for 20 degree days and long evenings!! Anyway another day another idiotic bodge from someone, who uses a 13mm headed bolt to keep the top dash in🙄

I’d go genuine Renault for all. Renault parts direct have great prices. Also aftermarket timing tools like to bend/fail so better getting genuine. You can always buy the tools and sell them on for not much less than you pay for them new

Yay she runs. Those sills look so good too.

Good luck with the new engine, and good shout to go to EFI or ED, fingers crossed for good numbers and reliability🤞🏻

Removed the battery tray from the relocated battery today, glad I did as I had been tempted to keep it but will relocate back into the engine bay. If you look closely it was held in with 4 self tapper screws 🙄 the car that keeps on giving aye! As frustrating as this project is being im so glad...

I’d recommend @Mike@Rentech did my cambelt for me on my 182 4 or 5 years ago

No worries, worth doing ARP rod bolts too.
