Thanks Adam, I'm hopeful next season will go better! Should be another update very shortly as the breaks are nearly finished and I finally have the pulleys back from Nick at Pure motorsport so the engine can finally be buttoned up and bolted to the gearbox ready for install.

You don't necessarily need to go straight to the Cup setup. The cheapest route would be to buy the delete kits from Pure Motorsport and then either buy the HPAS rack blanking kit from either PM or Proline. Then the only other outlay is for the EPAS steering column and controller. The Cup...

Glad you're enjoying it. I'm enjoying following your thread too! I'm hoping this car (and me) has had it's quota of bad luck now. I'm trying to stay positive about next season having now had a whole season without any racing.

Looks great! I don't suppose you weighed those wheels did you?

Thanks. https://www.prolinemotorsport.co.uk/blank-sefrn/renault-clio-ph1-172-inc-cup-rs-abs-delete-internal-kit Have a look here. He will also make up custome lines if you need something different.

Ah that explains it! Don't have a problem with you posting pictures mate. (as long as they're relevant of course :wink: )

yes it is. Is that the difference?

I was going to ask you how you found yours! That's good to know, although I don't think you've got exactly the same kit as me. I don't have a tee piece for the front brakes like yours. Mine come straight from the MC left and right, so I'm only capping one outlet not 2.

Glad you're enjoying it. Could do with it going a bit quicker myself! Using the standard tensioners. I'm not too concerned with these as I'm sure the engine will be apart again long before these get close to needing replacing and I'm not tensioning the belt any further than standard. (Although...

Me too! Watch this space!

Thanks for the heads-up. I hadn't heard anything bad about these before I bought them and Mitch seems to do a pretty tidy job of the stuff he does. I'd better check them all out then and get on to the phone to him if it's going to be a headache. Annoyingly I had already bought hardline for this...

Really?? I take it you've tried these then. What was the problem?

As the engine is out I'm hoping they won't be too tricky!

Still waiting for my vernier pulleys to come back from Nick at PM so got on with more stuff. After receiving the ASTs my OCD was going to make it dificult to fit them without doing some refurbishment to the rest of the suspension and brake setup. So off with the hubs and brakes for renovation...

Good to see they're getting some use. I assume you've changed the tyres by now!

Hoping they'll arrive today! Thanks mate, they're going to a good home!

So, I decided to send the pulleys back to Pure Motorsport after all, as the dowels weren't coming out of the cams easily and I didn't want to have to strip it all down again. So new dowel holes will be drilled. Slowly getting through the little jobs while waiting for the pulleys to come back...

Looks like Mitch Plowman's kit. I've just bought the same so it's good to see where you've run it. Have you tried welding the EPAS plates yet?

What a great bit of racing! That's why we do it!!

They worked fine for me yesterday. (the videos that is)

Talk about carving up the field!

Sold one set untested. I started to fit a set before I ran out of gas but if you're interested I'll do them at £15 plus postage for now until I have had a chance to weld some up and test them properly. Eventually I'd like to have them installed and rig up a GoPro pointing at the bracket while...

Cat Cams 5503433s. Same as Pure Motorsport's 240 engines. Good mid range torque is the idea, with out having to rev the cahoonas out of it.

So easy to miss one! But not only that, it means I can give the engine a visual inspection at any time and see straight away if a bolt is coming loose. Nothing worse than your alternator dropping off in the middle of a race!

Just a small update this week. Correct length 4pk belt arrived so that can be checked off the list. And finally got the cams in and Pure Motorsport's new vernier pulleys on. Unfortunately though, the dowel locating the pulleys on the end of the cams is in the slightly the wrong position for my...

Probably be about £25 a set plus postage. I'll put details up once I receive them. They'll need to be welded obviously.

Just for now. EPAS is being prepared for some time next season. The 1.5DCi rack has quite a weak mounting bracket on the LHS so I'm having some reinforcement plates CNC'd up at the moment. I'll also be selling these to anyone who's interested as I had to order 15 sets to make it worth while.

Bottom end came back this week. (finally) So have spent the weekend starting to build it back up. It's nice to start getting some of the newly powdercoated bits out of its wrapping! Firstly, cleared some space at the front of the car. Still a couple more jobs to do here. And these finally...

We've never had a cat on any of our cars racing in the TDT, CSCC Tin Tops or the 750mc Roadsports. Never even been discussed.

A small update as I'm expecting the bottom end back next week. The head is now finished with all valves lapped and all assembled. Also been looking at where to mount the oil cooler. There's not much space with the PM radiator and all its shrouding but I think it will fit just to the left of...
