Thanks mate!

Ouch! That'll be me hitting the limiter hard then down flugplatz and fuchsrohre as I'm reaching 135 on standard gearing! Are you on the standard final drive ratio?

I remembered mate! Ok so you need 1x m14x1.5, 1x m16x1.5 and 2x m12x1.0 blanking plugs. You then need 2x m12x1.0 brake pipe unions for 3/16 pipe to make the link pipe. Get the Allen key head blanking plugs as well mate as you can't fit anything else in there.

Same as what I've gone for then mate. I'm wondering what my top speed will be with that setup as I don't want to be sitting on the limiter in 5th gear at the ring. My limiter will be 8k so not the nicest place to be sat for any length of time!

Fuckin knowsit! Lol

I do that also. Regularly. Lol! Good news on the sale mate as well. I've got to be honest, I wouldn't want to see the car again if it were mine. That's one of the main reasons I dismantled my turboed mk3 Astra with @not normal dan and then scrapped the shell! Couldn't face seeing someone else...

I'd bet my wages on that being a plug popped out. Whip the upper inlet off and it will become apparent which ones goosed.

There's nowhere I could put it now mate unless I put it as a remote servo similar to what was found on novas and stuff. Yeah the nimbus should help a lot, or at least I hope so. Having no skin on the underside of the bonnet will also help to get the heat out. I don't want to vent the bonnet if...

The brake reservoir is still in the original position mate where you find it in any other Clio. It's just hidden on mine by the nimbus. The coolant reservoir was what I had to relocate and it's now residing in its new home.

No worries mate.

Yeah serious mate. I can't do it straight away, but happy to have a look at it for you.

Well I'll happily give it a once over mate. :up:

Ooh almost forgot, I've upgraded a few items already. These should be arriving tomorrow. Nothing impressive, just something for if I need more power. Lol! And a cheeky edit: ordering a f**king oil filler cap tomorrow! Keep forgetting!

I have my moments. Lol! Yeah I think they're a lot easier than the jc5's from what I've seen. Wouldn't be for fitting a diff by any chance?! Lol! Thanks mate!

Just a little update as I've done a great deal of f**k all on it tbh. I've made a heat shield to divert some of the radiant heat away from the inlet and the coil on plug setup. I've also fitted the gearbox, so now everything is sitting on it's mounts and all bolted up. Here's a couple of pics...

Which 5th have you opted for mate?

Sorry mate completely forgot. Because I'm a bell end! Tag me again on Sunday after 10pm. I'll be in work then!

Longacre make them mate. Search for longacre bulkhead through panel

Can't help with this one I'm afraid as I'm on spherical bearings for the tre's

I personally would go with powerflex as the evol ones are a tad harsh going off what people on here say. Alternatively, press the large bush out of your original dogbone and turn it through 90 degrees. Press it back in and enjoy less engine movement without the harshness of powerflex or evol. I...

Not that I can see mate.

Be better if he was bitten by a cancer ant. That way he suffers slowly in a similar way all of us who see his overpriced s**t on eBay.

I've got custom acetyl bushes on the back of mine, but I'd definitely recommend the powerflex poly equivalent mate in the black series. You'll get a bit more noise in the cabin though as a compromise.

I've deleted the pics off my phone now! Lol! They're in a thread on here somewhere. I've got to order some bits on Monday, including one of those bushes so I'll get the part numbers for all the other bits and bobs. Also getting some info for @warwickstingray for similar items. You found them!

You'll find that the car accelerates a bit faster with one of these fitted mate, so yeh I'd recommend one for the ring. There's some sections where you struggle and need more power, but with one of these you'll take a bit of load off the engine as well as helping it rev.

Come round mine tomorrow and I'll measure it whilst your there if you like mate?

No worries mate. I'd poly bush the rack personally if you've already got them. They don't come under as much stress as the wishbone bushes. I've got poly arb bushes on my car and I'd recommend them over standard tbh. Less compliant so makes the arb more effective, however minuscule the amount of...

Either go standard top mounts and wishbones, or pms mounts and Renault wishbones. Don't waste your time on poly bushes as the standard Renault bushes in the wishbone are very good tbh.

Yeah they're about 12 or 15nm from memory mate.

The input shaft passes through the clutch disc and into the flywheel/crankshaft mate. On some cars they have a bearing on there to act as a support. I'd be pretty confident that cup you've knocked in is what's causing you the grief. Only way to tell 100% is remove the box, put grease on the end...
