New rear discs and pads too. Spoiling it this month! Old rear pads had some odd wear, the pad material was attached too high up the pad....strange! Much better. 300mm vented discs on the back of these things. And took it for a weekend away :) - yes, I put normie plates back on....for now!

Busted AC pipe fixed. Had to nab a PAD fitting of a povvo spec Mk2 Clio - PAD fittings are not standardised it seems and even the Mk3 Clio is different! The Mk2 pipe was the same fitting but bigger diameter pipe, which fortunately sleeved over the Vee one. Now fitted and seems OK. Of course the...

All I can tell you is that it was engine or gearbox related, as it stopped when I did the Meglio conversion on it. Other than that I can't be any more specific, sorry! It never caused any issues other than being a noise that was there though.

I don't know why but I very much want that plate on my XC90 :D

...apart from the V6 :) Investement to return, if Bitcoin drops near $5k USD again, buy it. I think the boat has been missed on trophies. We have already seen the value jump. It won't step up a level further for many many years, probably 20+.

I recently discovered in the parts stash a set of brand new pistons (with rings!), liners and gudgeon pins, and some big ends and mains too and I fancied a bit of engine tinkering so I pulled down the 9 engine. I was amazed how good it was considering, the crank is in fab condition. Humped it...

Wow, thats beyond dangerous. I struggle to believe it could come out that bad, with that much loose or bodged.

The F1 team are sytaying for the forseeable future - good news. Not liking the factory cutbacks or the model reduction though, and not looking good for the RS range is it :(

Loads of places do vapour blasting, just google "vapour blasting near me". I have three different possible places within 5 miles of me.

Mid-to-high 20's if its still low miles and good nick. Mine is just over 80k but in excellent nick, with some nice OEM+ mods and a fresh coat of paint, i'd put it at £20k, maybe £22k with both sets of wheels and belts done.

The RS Clio is following the same path as the R5GTT. Currently in the cheap-and-plentiful stage, like the five was 2 decades ago. Give it 20 years and minters will be worth quite a bit because of the attrition rate thinning the ranks. Parts will go up in price when OE stuff runs short. They...

M8 is a 1.25 pitch not 1.5.

Nope... https://cliosport.net/threads/my-renault-21-quadra-supershed.821989/page-5#post-11889082

Same. Mine is a saloon car though not a hatch which is why we did it like that. I have harness bars built in to the main cage.

Like this?

I'm considering putting normal ones back on for the summer....maybe.

The last couple of times driving the Vee I have noticed a bit of a crankcase smell hanging around, and then on my last drive a wisp of smoke out the sidepods, so I thought it best to investigate. Took all the trim off over the engine, then the inlet manifold. Had to take the drivers seat out...

I'm game if you find a 182 and a 200 :)

No worries, I actually stumbled on a Renault 21 Manual brake servo last week, snapped it up and the 197 brake master is a straight fit...which is nice haha!

As far as I recall the bidder was UK based, or, his IP address was at least. These was a Cat S LY Megane 225 went for close to a grand the other week too, that went to Belgium though.
