As above, it’s still running. Just keep topping it up. If you’ve got spare cash, I’d just buy a lump and leave it under a cover until you need it. Could tidy the spare engine up slowly. Do the belt on it etc.

There’s no guts in them. As long as it’s moving without smoking or spluttering I wouldn’t worry about it.

@youngarthur do you have any pics?

Love this! Can you give some more info on the conversion please? Can you use the Kangoo fuel tank/pump etc? Edit: Assuming you started off with a petrol engine.

A45 hands down for a useable car. Utterly mind blowing things. Exige is amazing, but you've got to be in the mood for it. Right weather etc.

RSDirect have 2 red edition new RS's for sale

I have a genuine cup splitter, it's broken into 3 pieces. Is it worth paying to get it repaired?

Might be worth having the clutch changed too, while the engine is out.

Really enjoying watching this car progress. Keep the updates coming.

I've driven one, it was brilliant.

I think if your looking at freeing up money, turbocharging a Clio isn't the best option - it'll be eating your money in repairs. Over a reliable Megane. You could get a second set of wheels for the Megane cheap enough and put part worn track tyres on them.

I would just keep the Megane if your going to turbo a Clio.

At least it's in safe hands now and the turn around should be pretty quick!

What colour?

We're all keen for updates! :D

Looking forward to this being updated :)

Or buy my lump.. fit that and enjoy the car, and build a spare high spec engine up on the side out of yours haha

Simple. Sort the compression and continue. It doesn't need to go further down the money pit route IMO. Standard base/internals is reliable. Sorting the compression is peanuts in comparison and then just get it back on the RR for mapping.

I'd offer him £1K and do as above.

Tips; 1) label all the wiring loom, so you know exactly what goes where on re-fit. 2) when you take the bolts out and remove a part, but the bolts back in the area they came out of. So easy to mix them up. 3) your going to need a tray for coolant and gearbox oil when you pull the drive shafts...

Jesus, I started this thread in 2011..! 7 years ago..!! Lol. I've been around a while..

@robzracing what are you doing with the old power steering pipes?

I thought you didn't have an LSD, but thought I'd ask, as I can see that inside wheel spinning when it's lifting. An LSD would completely transform the car, especially on your over steer, you can just power out of it and not loose much momentum. An LSD would be my first 'go to' mod after...

Really loving these vids, I think you've got a good balance between in car and and other track cars/fly bys etc. Proper good. I think you could get away with doing 2 vids per track day, the ones your currently doing, to entertain the masses, then I think you could add a link in for the purists...

My exact thoughts, the stickers and the Alps in the background...looks amazing!!

Is your bulk head dry? Or leaves blocking the drainage holes?

Couple more pics of it. Fun car that was!

Yup, and the Corsa B - just flip the hazard switch upside down.

Prospeed custom exhaust. 2" straight pipe underneath lol
