Next on list for mine is sill trims and all front arches off and same plan of attack

No didn't bother with actual paint, just the bilt hamber hydrate then hammerite wxoyl

Nosey on my Instagram @ben_cooper_83 Or search the media forums for odyssey posts by me and you should find some more

Exactly what I did, wire brushed lot, then over few days good few coats of hydrate 80 then few coats of hammerite with waxoyl

Looks similar to my rb that although gone further up the inner panel on yours to where rub strip mounts

For that I'd expect more, chop out all that metal and replace plus anything underneath that's gone will need replacing to weld to, 1000 a side I'd be budgeting minimum

Mine wasn't, same as my 172 so I lathered it up when I treated the inner sills. Which had surface rust in them too, worse than the phase 1, so basically get your rear cards out and check imo

Shouldn't be, the aux system auto tensions

It wants rechecked imo chap to be sure, they're very finicky the belt replacement jobs on these engines and easy to get wrong

Who fitted it, and was it tensioned correctly. Sounds to be like it's been over tensioned

Ooft that last pic....incredible stuff

Look spot on to me @Ant1 you happy?

sound, let me know if they look genuine, correct etc etc and I'll get a set ordered I reckon @Ant1

did these show up then as expected @Ant1

Mega deal, if it works out @Ant1 let me know as I'll buy a set for stock

Tbh on an obviously fast car that does nothing for me, needs to be a 1970 Talbot with a rb26 or something to make it work

Diff float will cause excess heat which will lead to the oil changing colour and darkening so that was probably the issue. The welded clip will do nothing to sort the play in the diff and fact it popped again and took the welds with it means those diff bearings are proper fucked

Nice, same sentiment from me too, solid price for a solid car and glad to see a Renault spec refurbishment to standard .

Nice Although isn't a slow shutter something the older gentleman suffers from

there's a thousand other things to sort on a clio for track use before aero imo

pants! loves to kick you in the teeth this thing doesn't it @Djw John hope you get it sorted!

Looking clean

RTOC facebook group, or Renault Turbo one

Slicks fitted to freshly powercoated track wheels Two weeks to Caldwell and ready I think. Had tracking done and tweaked exhaust fitment too Cheers Ben

Looks really clean that, nice purchase! Needs black insert headlights though imo

Concentrate on the house move matey, the car will work, it's basically done. I think a diffuser may sway my opinion on the rear end aswell so I vote do it! And get those wheels sorted, disgraceful ??

Looking on point. Semi slicks are heavy though! My full slicks on superleggera weigh in at 11kg a corner

Defo @Ant1 got too of been the cheapest one about

Yeah none genuine shocks are crap, bin them and run the genuine

Amazing the colour premium for LY, like you say it's a 1000 quid car in silver. Still, tidy up and it'll be worth more than you paid so laughing
