Over two thousand images from the pro photographer here, watermarked low res.
If you want full resolution, they're £1 each up to £10, £10 gets you unlimited - any and all you want up to the full package. All proceeds to the CSF charity...
To clarify, a £10 donation gets you unlimited images, as many as you want.
Dont forget the image ID and your email address, you can also DM me with requests on here or on TR.
Yeah the actual file transfer is OK, but we are going to reduce the size and watermark them, and make you pay a small donation to the CSF charity for full res/unwatermarked. It cost us £300 so we'd like to see whatever is recovered go to the chosen cause.
These are 10% of original res/size and...
Hit me up next time and i'll take you for a passenger ride.
My car has a few tweaks to make it handle better, it has a longer wheelbase than other Phase 1 V6's, wider tyres on the larger phase 2 wheels with some seemingly odd tyre pressures, and some camber mods. Its very usable now, it took...
CSF and back - no problems! Even in the extreme heat, although it was nice to know both my sidepod fans are still working properly haha.
Props to Katie Rose for the pic, my 220 is a pretty car but the Vee...
I got a pax ride and it was on another plane of existence. The thing is absolutely savage. If I could fit in one to drive, i'd go get myself one... but I can't. Too tall for anything Lotus make, my legs simply dont fit.
Thankyou to the Admins for organising and working to make this event possible. Fantastic event as always, there is just too many people to get around and meet everyone!
I'll drop Katie a message today and get the photos sorted, she was busy busy all day so hopefully there are some great shots...
Came back to it Sunday and had decided I wanted the engine back in come hell or high water so I had to swap out the rack for the rebuilt one from my white quadra, I can source and rebuild another for that one I guess! Pipes went back in OK this time.
Annoyed at the waste of time and...
Popped the slave on the bellhousing along with a new fork and a new bleed pipe and new release bearing
Then, in anticipation of refitting the engine on Sunday I put the steering hydraulic lines back in, and unfortunately as I tightened the back union the threaded segment broke out of the...
Prepping the subframe for fitting, the nuts and washers I replaced but the bolts were OK so I cleaned and greased them, then fitted the subframe bushes. The old large washers under a 36mm socket are perfect for this.
Then dropped the 'box on - it's easier to lift the subframe and box in...
I managed 41.2mpg out of mine on the Coventry>Dover leg of my LeMans jaunt this year. Mid-30's for the rest of it. My other Clio pictured with it below doesn't do that well on MPG, unsurprisingly
Considering they are both RenaultSport Clio's I don't think you could get cars that are more...
Centre console back in (god damn thing, you have to disconnect the handbrake cables to remove/refit it) and looking really good, very pleased.
Test drive No1 - I could hear something unsavoury out the window, like a brief regular scrape once per wheel rotation - quick nose at the back...
Machined, fitted, boot on. Old ABS target broke taking it off (and is too big) but I glued it on with spacers and tiger seal so I can prove it all works before I buy the new targets. If its OK I will buy another new CV for the other side, 2 ABS targets and change the other one when I pop the...
While I am prevented refitting the engine and box by the lack of a clutch I decided to drop the subframe and have a crack at making it less yuk.
Gave the vibration dampener a bath
Then spent an eternity cleaning off the sticky underseal grot off, and the greasy and oily build ups...
I've had it far too easy of late, it seems, and the car has decided to test my patience a little.
The plan was to take it to LeMans this year. I was aware however of a low rumbling appearing at the rear near side when cold which reduced when hot and resonance directly related to road speed -...
It's not just the mechanical mating, thats the easy part, you just have to get torque to the input shaft. getting the electronics working would be an epic task, because the DSG systems take input from many other parts of the car. Lets take some simple ones, engine speed, road speed, torque...
Yes mate they're quite collectable now, the Yankee 1/4 scale models. I owned one myself for a while in the mid-2000's but sold it due to being a new dad/very skint...wish I could have kept it. I have a pic somewhere of it on the bonnet of my own real 21 Turbo. They're selling for 3 and 4 times...
Yep - my 1986 Phase 1, as thread-ed here... https://cliosport.net/threads/phase-1-renault-9-turbo.823533/
Currently sat outside the garage under 2 covers, I will have to kick it out of that spot shortly too because I need to do a wheel bearing change on my Clio V6 there lol
I cleaned off some sticky goop stuff, I assume an underseal of sorts from the subframe, think I might gravitex it. I think I saw new subframe bushes in the parts boxes as well so may just be easier to drop it, coat it and lob the bushes in at the same time.
The engine needed the crank seal...
I've kicked the R9 out of the garage to start laying out the puzzle, started tidying some stuff in the engine bay, cable routing etc. Nothing too exciting, so here are some pics of the incredibly clean shell.
Away she goes to a new home, the new owner is happy to tackle the smaller stuff now the main recomission is done.

PS i've already got the next one in :) See here https://cliosport.net/threads/1988-red-r21-turbo.842581/
As the previous one departs, the next one arrives (literally the same day :)
Sub here for more 21 Turbo shenanigans!
Bye bye
Hello!
In and ready for jigsaw puzzle time :)
