Engine went back in today :cool: Before it did tho I gave the engine bay a good clean Before After Fitted the 1.2 heat shield with new nuts aswell. Next was to address the alternator setup. I took a chance and order the PMS lightweight pulley kit with PAS delete kit a little...

Oh b****cks. Will have to have a rethink now then. Thanks for the heads up.

Because race car :stig:

Not done much to the Clio till tonight. Had a massive tidy up around the car and carried on getting the engine ready to put back in. Finished the alternator mounting and figured out the belt I needed. Need to get a new mounting bolt that goes through the alternator as its too long. I also dug...

Sorry lol, I didn't finish what I was typing for some strange reason in that post. I meant did you have a rough idea of when your'll have them finished lol? Price not to fused lol as I was happy to pay the PMS price lol.

Are they going to be made of billet like the PMS kit? And do you have a rough idea? This is the last piece of the puzzle for my rear beam but in no rush

This is interesting. I was literally just hovering over the buy now button on PMS website till I got offered a McDonalds!

Started today off pretty well, Changed the steering rack bushes for me black powerflex set. Took a little while as my 17mm socket fell into the subframe 😧 Old bushes Then dragged my engine out the other garage and started putting it together Torqued the flywheel and clutch up...

Not really. Finally got my parts from Renault so can start finialising stuff for the engine to go back in. Need to fill the rack boot with grease, change the rack bushes, fit flywheel clutch and box and finish my alternator setup then swing inter lump in. Need to get on with it as my mate wants...

Awesome work so far. Where did you get that breather plate/coil pack mount from?

Engine is back home from its little tweaking. Just been tinkering ready to get it back in. Steering rack in looped and blocked off, I've also blocked off the hole in the bulkhead where the heater pipes pass through with a piece of carbon. Need to fitted me power flex rack bushes and...

Keep chatting away mate lol I enjoy reading your thread. :smile: Looks like your making good progress. How much were the engine mounts you brought and why they taking so long? Got my engine back the other day and started working on mine again

Right, collecting my engine tomorrow night :) It's had a new Dephaser pulley and full cambelt replacement along with special timing dialled in :) Actually looking forward to getting it back and planing on doing abit of work on the car tonight. Might just be getting the bug back. Got a lot...

Shell looks good. Jealous your making good progress even with swapping shells lol I need to get moving with mine.

Have you looked at goodridge aeroquip fittings for their braided brakes? That's what I'll use when I do mine.

Usually there m10x1.0 or m12x1.0. Them blue and silver unions look like aeroquip fittings no idea what size that they are lol What size master cylinder did you go for?

Rusty ph1. Every cloud has a silver lining!

Well it's more than likely staying but motorvation is low to get anything done. Only thing I've done is take the engine for a new belt, dephaser and timing altered. Took the engine in the boot of my Leon lol

Didn't know pms did them?! Can't see them on their site either?

I'm sure I've seen fancy/uprated/aftermarket/custom breather plates somewhere but can't find any when I search lol Anyone know of anything like this? Mines a 172 and looking the get the open neck that goes into the inlet blanked off.

Thanks. The light was a prank that my mate played. I gave him my hole saws and drill to borrow, when he returned them I was out and told him the garage was open and to put them under the Clio. I got back home to find massive holes in my headlight lol

Well insurance and tax are due on both me cars and a house has come up that I like, house a garage and is decently priced so need a bit of extra cash quick. Desperately trying to work somert out.

May need to break this unfortunately

Typical. Lol all that for a crank pulley lol So need the tools. I'd like a set of grpN's like yours if I have to buy some tho lol. They available from anywhere?

I've just got the cam locking tool and crank pin tbh. Was hoping I could just lock it with either the crank pin or cam locking tool and gun it off lol

I just wanna replace the crank pulley with my light weight item. It's had a new belt and dephaser when I brought it so.

Not sure to be fair it'll road legal tho :) I wanna enter the Javelin sprint series.

I've got a decent gun no so that's no probs. So will I not lose the timing undoing the crank bolt then? Thought I would?! How do I know I've got the crank pin in correctly? Sorry I'm used to vag engines.

Can't lock the engine up as it seems mine is slightly out So can't get the crank pulley off. Any other way? After this fail I needed some inspiration

Fitted some pulleys :)
