Mine might be the Volvo part tbf looking at yours. I’d get a nice aluminium spacer made to space the top alternator mounting out a bit. Unless you have the wrong alternator for that mount maybe? You using a cup one or air con one? I know the mounting point on the is different.

Different view of it

I’ve just got a similar setup but mine has an extra part with it. I haven’t tried fitted mine yet. Maybe get time over the weekend but this is what I’ve got.

I loved the lumpy idle groupN timing gave my engine ?

Looks interesting. CAE are all cable shifters I believe, is the mk1 Clio a bar shifter like the MK2s?

Come back to work from holiday to boxes and boxes of parts ?

So engine is nearly done. Just needs the cam cover sealing, timing up, flywheel, clutch and gearbox on and it can be swung back in once I’ve ran some new front brake lines. Next I need a cage so I’ve tidied me garage and jacked the car up high so I can start the prep for this. I want seat...

Looms awesome. What work did you carry out on it?

This is true. Even at work we have warning notes that arms and rear shocks part numbers are for all Clios bar sports and don’t not sell so we don’t have any issues

Does the tunnel not get hot? Just wondering as I’ll be running fuel hose down it ?

It’s not finished don’t worry.

Few more parts ordered to make progress.

Cheers. Will do ?

Nah I won’t. It’ll get smashed round track ? Standard engine, 48mm PMS ITBs with 330cc injectors, manifold 421 cams.

Engine nearly done.

New parts ?

@Phase1sr did you take the stud out the OE exhaust cam?

Cool cheers. Wonder if it’s for running non vvt?

I’m fitting 421s currently. Still VVt In with the exhaust cam was this pin I’m guessing it goes in the end of the cam here Can someone confirm this is correct as neither the exhaust cam pulley or Dephaser pulley have a hole for the pin to go in too?

Same reason I went for Quaife. If the box was easy to pull out like a saxo vts id have gone gripper.

Block refreshed

Engine is apart now and being cleaned and painted ready to be put back together with some goodies. I need to order a new water pump pipe as mine is cracked. ARP bolts fitted Block wire wheeled. Heads first clean. Needs another going over.

Mine was on RS2 with GrpN timing mapped by Chris and drove spot on. RS2 makes it hard work working on anything below it don’t ? worth it tho.

Mr muscle?

That’s awesome. ? What sealant did you use for the rocker cover? And how did you get the head to look so clean?

How do you know it’s leaking and not using it?Do you have patches under the car when parked up?

I had a intermittent starting issue which turned out to be the power cable terminal bolted to the alternator cracking and finally breaking off. The 13mm nut on the alternator, Maybe be worth a look. Car looks great ??

Awesome ?

The 182 drive belt tensioner setup is shite glad mines a cup set up ? Strip the aux and cambelt stuff off the 182 lump and anything else that’s bolted to it too lol. Also brought a few essentials
