could narrow the groups down a bit as well to these clio's
Mk1's
V6 - so everyone else gets a look in :rasp:
Mk2 RS & Non-RS
Mk3 RS & Non-RS
Track weapon
Those 7 categories should cover all bases I reckon :S
I'd submit mine in the valver category then:cool:, I will get pics up when I get home.
I like this idea, can we make it a proper competition where we all vote? :approve:
I'd smash her tbqfh :approve:, get her to pose in/near my car please, not on it as the paint is a bit too fresh atm :rasp:
Prefer the blue vee's (sorry riz:rasp:)
Addz, was you on trent bridge a few weeks ago with a silver vee? If it was you, the other 1 was my housemate, I bet the noise...
franx - dunno if this is any use to ya but also the megane F7R head can't work with a F7P or williams inlet manifold as the shape of the inlet ports are completely different

All the bits got ordered & paid for yesterday :D forged rods, pistons and all the other bits & bobs...
Absolutely gutted for you mate :dapprove: especially after doin 2 voluntary tours in afghanistan to pay for it :(
You'll get another one through insurance, and you'll have nearly a year to keep fighting to keep the blame on her :nono: and off yourself.

Update with a Few more pics 8)
Took a bit of persuading with a T50 bit, blowtorch, icecube and a hammer :mad: and got the sump off
Couple of gratuitous oil pump pics, I don't think its very healthy as it doesn't turn very easily and clunks a little bit :S not too bothered as I'm...
I've had the bores measured today and the good news is that the block hasn't had a re-bore, it is a bit worn but not excessively, so I'll be ordering some 83mm pistons & getting the block re-bored to fit them :D
I've got a 2.0 litre megane block and a 5l bottle of mobil1 in the boot of my pug :D
As for my clio's boot......it's got half the interior in thats had to be removed to beat out the bent panels :(
I did notice how coked up the head was & was quite surprised but not too bothered as the whole thing is being rebuilt with new parts & obviously a proper map
I'll be getting a rebore as well, I just need to measure the cylinders to see which pistons I need to get as I don't want to go too far...
Right, time for an update :D not done anything for the past few weeks :oops: had some money making projects on the go ;) But here's the pics from the stuff I done last time round
Engine in order of strippage
Can anyone tell me if I should be bothered about this rust on the cams, or...
Yes it will have boost :evil:
Here's some pics I took of the repair work this morning
The only downside is it's gonna cost an extra £100 as the roof had to be re-done :( the repair to the top of the B-pillar caused the roof to move a bit & cracked the paint
Just had a phone call from the lovely people at Helphire :D

Mine got mullered on bonfire night :mad: just waiting for the clowns to pay out so I can get it fixed, I miss it like mad so in the meantime I'm abusing the shitbox 307 diseasel courtesy car
Where have people got these from?
I want to get some for my old man for crimbo to go on his astra, but I cant find any :mad:
Have they got some other name that I don't know about? :S Google is not my friend atm :(
I hate that its just like a good woman, annoying & expensive :dapprove: but by christ is it fun to rag the pants off it :rasp:
I love it :D and sometimes fcuking hate it :mad:
You'll need a new head gasket, new head bolts & a cam belt, big(ish) job but not too difficult to tackle yourself and afaik the ecu should be a straight swap
Unlucky :dapprove:
My m8 done something similar last week to his Vee :nono: scraped a shedload of fresh paint off the bottom of the bumper
:lolup: Oh how I laughed - 2 mins after picking it up from a respray as well - UBER FAIL!
