When wrist clicks its at the right torque :LOL:

Yep all going on the current engine/setup. Its ready to go apart from ecu and injector upgrade.

Halfords torque wrenches are norbar iirc, decent, fair priced. Sealey premier not bad too. Snap on clicker type come up cheap often 2nd hand. Reliable, get it calibrated and last a lifetime if looked after. Avoid the real cheap torque wrenches, as years ago i had one fail to click whilst doing...

Good to hear its sorted. Trimming the bit off the block for clearance is fine, seen it done a few times.

Updates. Had a spare hour earlier so done a bit more to the turbo setup to keep progress moving. Oil return finished with a short bit of stainless braided hose, an10 fittings and firesleeve. Its solid enough, but will prob make a small bracket to hold it when in situ. Id say its good enough to...

Few hours on it today. New gasket in situ, both sides metal so hopefully will last a bit longer. Back together. Give it a wipe over to clean. Battery back on, primed up fuel system with ign on and off a few times and good to go. laptop on to check sensors reading ok. Primed oil system up by...

Yep and the retaining plate they hold in.

Disklok all day long, fairly solid/too much hassle for most twockers. You can get a nice bag with velcro on to store in the boot, saves them flying all over the car.

Undo the 2x 13mm bolts on the intermediate carrier and take the plate off that retains the bearing. Knock the bearing out with a punch if its tight

Updates. Extra van only moved once last year and has been laid up ever since. To recap it needed a bit of work doing, inlet gasket was leaking on cyl 1 causing a bit of noise on boost and a fuelly mix coating the inlet, and down on power but not by much. I had the parts in stock, but lacking...

Doesnt sound too bad, all minor fixes if no rust. Well worth sorting.

Warm up the nut inside arch turret to get it going or drill it out in stages then send a tap through.

Updates More turbo pipework mock ups. The oil return pipe on these g25 setup's is tight due to top mounted turbo and compact manifold design. I done a bit of research on how the turbo return has been done on other kits and every method does not look great being honest. 1st attempt..an10 pipe...

I think the oil is keeping the osb together:ROFLMAO: i need to invest in a spill mat

Any closer to the big announcement? 4pm?

Updates. 210k service for the blue dci on Sat. The drum on the o/s was annoyingly squeaking on low speed braking, which is always brake dust related after new shoe run in. Also cleaned and resolved. Thanks for reading!!

Fuel line pliers work well for releasing the heater hose fittings. Mine were a nightmare as leaked when removed/refitted, i ended up changing the o rings to get a good seal.

Fyi - Type d coolant is ready mixed, not concentrate so worth checking its not too diluted at 50/50.

No prizes for winning TF laps, moderate pace and keep an eye on mirrors. Last couple of trips ive really enjoyed the autobahn driving. The trip in your own car is worth it for that alone.

If you want oem lip, can buy from here https://en.shop.renaultsport.com/RSperformance/ragnotti-front-lip-clio-ii-r-s-rsp-x65-1201.html

A few people have run cup rear shocks instead of oem.

I believe the go to mods for the trophy were mark fish springs and koni yellow rear shocks.

Will be fine. The turbo setups run the oilfeed from that port with a similar setup.

Mine is the jamsport kit. Et43 2118 fit with nk spacers.

Pads are dirt cheap for the wilwoods. I run them on my trophy.

Ring taxi defo worth the money. I went out in the apex m3 a few years ago, forget the drivers name but he could really fcuking pedal and we overtook everything. Also went out passenger with Marv in the old ringkangoo for a few laps back to back. Really committed and quick, that was a hell of an...

Looks spot on. Bonus losing the front spacers.

Looks mega that mate! Be like driving a new car i bet. We seen one with 9k on the clock a couple of years ago, almost bought it for same reasons but seller messed us about. You are bang on with spares drying up. Seems to be more rs parts available than povo.

Ffs didnt know it was aftermarket relay :ROFLMAO:

From memory temp sensor is direct to ecu and then goes to clocks via canbus. Do the obd readings change when connecting/disconnecting the sensor? Connector pins good? Id be tempted to try a good used ecu on it if the connection is good. Sounds like something has gone on the piss.
