Cheers lads
Aye everyone's welcome to passenger laps. Proper fallen in love with the car all over again now, rev match downshifts feel way easier with the flywheel🤣 might invest in some heel and toe pedals because I keep missing the pedal with my heel
One thing I did forget yesterday
The R clips for the Mr Pink pins. 2 mins to jack the car up, take the wheel off and stick some in. I bought a cheap set from Amazon after losing 3 of these f**king things🤣 The pads would probably never come out but for piece of mind why would you not put them...
Saturday
Didn't really get a whole load of pics today
So @Louis came over at about half 10 to help me set up the PMS shifter I'd I stalled on Friday. They're an absolute fuckstick to set up on your bill so having 2 people is a must
Louis had set his own up not too long back so knows literally...
Friday
So I kept test fitting the Brembos but the pads were way too far forward on the disc which would mean a hug lip and wasted braking surface area.
Even after cleaning the mating surface there was still 3mm+- to take off in order to get the pads in the right spot
I stuck them in the...
Thursday
Got the subframe back onto the car, Christ it took the piss. Mainly because my driveway is as smooth as the moon so moving the jack resulted in the subframe falling in my face several times as it slipped off
Despite being attacked by the subframe I got it back up on my own without...
Old top mount bearings were shag-arsed, the 2nd top mount in the video shows what effort it should take to move the bearing🤣
With all that done I started cleaning up a few shoddy looking bits whilst they were off
Shocks before
After
Old shaft on the left Vs the one I had in the garage...
Wednesday
Found out that my car had a clutch just before I got it which was a genuine Renault Valeo and has been perfect. So that got put back on
New lightened flywheel with new genuine bolts
Nah I didn't send it, I used the proper tool which was calibrated and has been sat in the box...
Big updates inbound. Bear with me whilst I type all of these out
Update 1
Booked the week off work because I have a lot of things to get done to the Clio in order to get it ready for CSF
Monday
Went down to my mum and dad's to press wheel bearings into my roll centre hubs. My dad has a...
My mum used to call my dad's defender 110 "the boneshaker"
It only had a couple inch lift, a snorkel and grappler tyres. It was wicked, way better off-road than his L200🤣
Always the ones that give it the billy big b****cks on here are always the ones that don't turn up 👀
What's up Marc, scared of walking on grass or something? 😂
Don't listen to these kiddyfiddlers. Splitter, skirts and spoiler make it look like a hot hatch, not a f**king hearing aid
"Oh but it stands out like a sore thumb, it looks chavvy"
It's a bright green Clio ffs, have a word🤣
Check your fuses, you'll have a 30A fuse in the engine bay fusebox top left nearest to the ECU
That fuse is for coilpack, injectors, fuel pump and crank sensor iirc.
What does the dash show when you're cranking?
