Ha ha! Don't worry mate, I'll be replying to that tonight! 'Ring trip is planned for 2016.......that's about as far as it goes atm tbh. It'll be mid summertime I imagine. Got to plan it around @not normal dan's wedding and @BIGASH's über busy work schedule.

Lol! That's better than, 'wrong hole dickhead!'

Looks good mate! It's not in the hole yet though! :cool:

I'll make do with my measly 170-180lb/ft!! Lol

This is my interior loom that's been simplified and rewrapped. My advice is - re-wrap your original loom to tidy it up and forget about it. You just can't save any noticeable amount of weight from doing the Clio loom unless you rip it all out and start again.

So to summarise? Lol

Honestly mate, it's really not that bad. :up:

You'll be fine mate. All you've got to do is remain relaxed and commit to the corners at the same speed as me. :wink: Your the camera car anyway. Already discussed it with BIGASH as your car has the power to carry 2 of you round! Lol!

You been before?

Thanks mate. Erm, not sure I'd say the enthusiasm has come back totally as I'm forcing myself to go into the garage to do stuff to it. But I am enjoying myself when I'm in there. There's a potential job change coming up on the horizon for me, so this will definitely help to bring the enthusiasm...

Ah right ok! Makes sense now! Yeah totally agree. Not a fan of crap paintwork myself.

Flol - both rear quarters!! I thought you'd only Done 1!

All this effort to get to here in 2016:Then on to set a good lap time: Flol!

Great update! Reminds me of mine when I bought it! The previous owner decided that functioning rear shock absorbers weren't needed. Then proceeded to bin it in a ditch! Legend. End result was a new front bumper, front wing, passenger door and the rear quarter pulled out. This picture makes it...

Cheers! :smiley:

Cheers mate. It's getting there!

I've always been taught that you, do it once, do it right or don't bother. That applies to everything as far as I'm concerned.

Thanks. I do try and do things properly.

Yeah that's the rear lights/fuel pump loom.

Excellent stuff! About time you updated your thread as well! Lol

Had a bit of spare time today so I decided it was better to waste it on the cup!! The loom is in and all clipped up, and despite my moaning about it, I'm actually VERY pleased with how it looks now it's fitted. Also shows that the time taken to mock it up was time well spent, as it really does...

You need to lock the cams with the horseshoe tool to get them in the correct timing position. The pulley locking tool is there to stop you bending the horseshoe locking tool, or worse, snapping the lugs on the end of the cams. Seen it done. Laughed. Wee came out. Finished off with 'told you'...

Easily done Tony! No one would suspect a thing. :wink:

It'll lock up for fun mate with a normal bias valve as they don't reduce the pressure enough.

It can only be the compensator that's the problem imo. There's no way it can be piped up wrong at the mc as the fronts are m12 and the rears are m10.

Well I'm thinking that if they're working exceptionally well, the rear is end is lifting up. So now your thinking, 'right so what's your point?', well what's this rod you've got connected to the lever on the compensator valve? The arm on the bottom of the compensator shouldn't be connected to...

Bolt drillings are also different to allow for the slightly wider track on a cup, but still allow for the same camber angle as a ff 172. :wink: The best bit is that no one, not even Renault realise this. Flol!!!!!!

Do it once, (ok maybe not in the first couple of instances) do it right. I'm confident you'll have a pretty much bombproof engine when it's done mate.

No worries mate! Happy to help!!

Well believe it or not, I'm not actually happy with the loom! Lol! I was moaning to BIGASH about it last Sunday night as we had our usual weekly catchup. I wished I'd gone all out and used the raychem boots and boot glue rather than the adhesive lined stuff, but not only are they horrendously...
