You snapped it putting it back in? How tight did you try and do it up? I'll have a look in my bolt box tomorrow morning and chuck one in post if I've got a spare. Whenever I take anything apart I always use wire wheel attachment and wire bottle brush attachment on drill to clean the bolt and...

Shame, but as ever with all of them, you'll be back ;-)

no chance I'm afraid, its my forever car that grey heap of crap, all the rest would go first.....although it would be difficult to let the red one go as well tbh........or the odyssey......or the RB......f**k think I have issues, can anyone recommend a counsellor?

I had it resprayed about 8 years ago I think it was, looked great in its heyday and went well. It'll live again when I stop spunking cash on the red one, the odyssey and the RB, flol!

Ah that's good then!

Oh there's a chap over in Europe who sells front and rear jacking points as can't get them from Renault anymore, think he's active on the clio 16v Facebook group

Yeah it's got front jacking point issues too and needs sills ideally. It was boosted but I got into trackdays and bought another one for that so grey one was decommissioned and has sat ever since Looks like this at mo

Glad to see the work going into this chap, should be lovely when done. Need to sort my old grey one out at some point but the fear of the rust has stopped me thus far

Look tidy, be shame to do anything other than keep it stock imo

Only tyre that's actively tried to kill me on the limit is the pilot sport offerings from Michelin, never again, evil evil semi slick crap that

Been sideways past the limit of grip plenty of times old bean, never felt the fabled 'snap' seems a bit like the bullshit 5k cam kick, not forthcoming ;-)

Never had that issue, always found them less snappy than the semi slick crap tbh

I've responded re wiring in your other thread too @glennbroad

Like that as well tbh, poverty spec with a sport heart should be a giggle

Subscribe up and open the forum for the projects threads etc and start one, great to see unknown mk1's come out the woodwork as as I'm sure you know there aren't many left.

Small update Due to my ongoing spending issues I acquired a set of pms lower arms with the spherical bearings and strengthening plates for a bargain so couldn't say no. No fitted pics but bit of struggle on the offside so had to 'adjust' it to fit but after a bit of loving persuasion they're...

Just seen this too All depends what you want from the car. Keeping stock interior you can decode the original ecu and relatively easily splice the 172 engine loom to the mk1 interior loom. My conversion is more straightforward, as it's a track car I simply transplanted everything from the mk2...

I don't have a spare setup unfortunately, however as a fellow mk1 owner and mk1 F4R owner intrigued to see details of the car etc, do you have a project thread or similar?

I've used the pre loved Michelin and Dunlop variants from the eBay ex race series suppliers for years, and even completely ruined they offer up so much more grip than anything else. For the price too it's a no brainer. Currently I'm on r888r's but they're s**t tbh compared but only running...

leave off, never been a fan personally
