Well i love Japanese cars at heart, as well as the normal Skylines etc i have a lot of love for the Toyota Chasers. I was talking to my mate about it and he said to me if i didn't do it now i probably never would and then when it gets older and can be imported to the USA the prices will rocket...
Today's update is brakes, dropped the car to Chris at Beaniesport yesterday and picked it up today. Went for a drive afterwards to bed them, should be able to get a better feel for them tomorrow. On other news the car maybe up for sale soon as i want to buy one of my dream cars.
Car seems to be revving itself at times, i'm not sure if this is relating to the cams being fitted. Andy at Engine Dynamics mentioned that holding onto the revs a bit more was normal. I have just sent the video to him so he can take a look. I would appreciate it if any of you guys had any ideas...
I will be using http://www.pure-motorsport.co.uk/clio-2-rs182/clio-2-rs182-engine/clio-2-rs-power-steering-delete-kit.html as that way i can keep the air con. I have text Chris asking for pics to make sure i will have everything, I will post them up to confirm with you guys. The pump is going...
Thanks, I will get Chris to send me pics of what he has just to make sure we have everything for the conversion. What about removing the power steering pump etc? I have emailed PMS to see as i will probably need some sort of delete kit.
The car has developed a weird problem, it seems to hold...
For the EPAS conversion can anyone confirm this is what i need?

Yer as @OssPoop mentioned I will get them from Andy.
£37 each.
You can search via the part number, but i was the same. It wasn't until i was told its the same as the V6 ones so i looked under V6 and they were there.
Today has been a great day! First i passed my Microsoft exam wooo! 3 weeks revision and managed to pass, very happy with myself! Afterwards i stopped by Beanie Motorsport and spoke to Chris, he is going to do all the brakes for me next Saturday. Also he had a look at my PAS pump and we started...
First problem could be the brake pedal switch, same happened to me and it was a quick cheap fix.
I run the PS3s on my car and they are great, alot of grip. Seem to be quite soft.
Wipers are just bolted onto the motor, you sure its not the motor arms that are squeaking?
Managed to get hold of the spacers so that's one thing sorted. Need to either get another pump or come up with a new plan.
I think i might end up doing this, so much hassle with the current setup. Think it might be worth future proofing it. The pump hasn't died yet its just noisy and has a bit...
Yer i might give him a call, i just know somewhere someone has a brand new genuine pump sitting around! I will consider my options over the next few days.
I called Renault Wolverhampton and they had none and neither did any of their other branches etc. I called Ren Parts Direct just now and they have 3!! So i ordered 2 and to cheer myself up i ordered new door grabs as mine have gone all sticky and nasty!
Currently then i just need to sort the...
b****cks!
Just had a call from Andy at ED, the pump i bought is no good! When they rebuilt it they pushed the shaft on too far and now its scrap metal. Good job Andy checked it before they took the car to pieces :( George has also let me know that the rear disc spacers are on back order with no...
Picture less update today.
Car is currently in Engine Dynamics have the 197 cams fitted and mapped :) Whilst it's there it's also having the new power steering pump fitted, rear axle brake line replaced and oil and filter. Very excited to see what it makes on the dyno! Pick it up tomorrow so...
I think someone tried to remove it before and must of pulled it from the edge and broke it :( Looks alot better now. Going to ED next week for cams and mapping very excited!!
Some new, well new parts to me arrived today. I purchased another climate control panel and hazard button surround from @Mk2dillon . Decided on my lunch break to have a go at fitting them. The climate control panel i received had quite a few marks and scratches, as to be expected. Its a second...
Yer its probably closer to £700 at times haha, but i get lots of Shell points so must be worth it right? As i mentioned in the update i am probably going to be changing jobs and it will be closer to home or i can use the train etc so will give the car a bit of a break.
Should have some new...
Thank you sir.
Lol how do you do so little mileage? Use another car?
Yer i have been very impressed tbh, obviously its not the most refined car to travel in. Saying that i do alot of miles everyday and sometimes the car will get abused and i have had no issues with it. I would of expected it...
I can see this thread has sparked quite the debate haha. I won't be going for the 4 pots I will stick with the standard calipers for now. I don't need some mad track pads as the car won't see the track that often, I can happily have a set of race pads on the side if i need them. This is mostly...
