If nla, stick the current ones in a tub of citric acid overnight to derust, wire wheel and paint.

Got myself one this week. £100 for 11ltr filled with resin. Also ordered a tds meter. Looking forward to using it, will give it a go in the next couple of days.

Updates Pre mot checked the blue dci on Sat. Quick jack up and all looks good, floorpan etc in really good nick for a 22 year old clio used in all weathers. Not much to note, front tyres need changing sooner rather than later, whilst in the air i greased the brake pipes and selecror bush, front...

Alloy not the right material. Phosphur bronze ollite prob the best but im no engineer. Ive done about 30thou on my brass bushes now on the dci. I had a look at them on sat whilst doing mot pre checks and no play whatsoever. The car also has no heatshielding like 172 so basically open to the...

Id use a ceracote trim wipe on the stalks.

Great power. Out of interest, any difference to power with exhaust valve open or closed?

The bosch 630cc are in stock but you will need map doing again. From reading the text in the link below, hard to find 630cc deka now. https://efi-parts.co.uk/product/630cc-4x-bosch-ev14-short-injectors-for-renault-rs/ Send your current ones to efi for a clean and flow test. Prob be ok.

Chris/Efi stock flow matched sets of 630cc bosch. https://efi-parts.co.uk/product-category/renault/ You could also use meg 250 injectors for around 300hp.

There are miles better injectors out there than the siemens deka. How much power do you plan on running? Look at bosch motorsport.

With it balancing ok, wouldnt worry about it. Be fine on the back. Deal with it if wheels ever need a refurb, or if a spare wheel comes up in better nick.

That will be pretty quiet with 3 silencers in. My trophy has two decent silencers on a 3" system and barely makes any noise. I would have got the cutout pre silencers for maximum asbo :LOL:

Clio/meg rs are always expensive in france and spain. Only seems to be uk that they end up at chuckaway money. Rhd not going to pull more money overseas though in a lhd country. They usually import to convert so need to be priced to suit.

Ive also had that on another car, cv boots s**t themselves and vibration when hot. As i was skint i fitted new boots and regreased the joints. The damage was done and they clicked on lock but i recall the vibration went so got quite a few more miles before sticking a shaft in. Ive had a 4th...

If it feels like the wheels are going to fall off, prob worn driveshaft or wheel bearing. Usually get it for a range of rpm/speed.

Ive been using cerakote trim coat wipes on headlamps and it seems ok, current ones still look decent a few months on.

Updates. Had my new Ar1's fitted to the Technomagnesio alloys a couple of weeks ago. Give the wheels a mega clean as they absolutely needed it. Cant beat fresh rubber. Bagged up and on the wheelstand, ready for another day. Its had plenty of use recently as a daily. Nothing to report apart...

Updates Kangoo headlamps were starting to yellow/uv fade on the top. Not the worst but longer you leave it, the harder it is to get them nice again. Hard to get a pic but on their way at the top. No wetsanding required, panel wipe, cutting compound / medium pad on da polisher, followed by...

Its the metal inside the seal corroding. Common issue on the older renaults.

Prob disconnected for a reason, they like to leak

The vyair resin vessels are mega for spot free rinse off. Ive got one on the never ending list of bits to buy.

As above id clean them up. Zinc galv spray also works well.

Cheers mate! The turinis were a random fb marketplace find. Lad said he had been struggling to sell them. Agreed about the steevs, much better in full black than diamond cut.

Shame to see it getting split up for parts, it looks mega. But totally understand its the only way to get a good return if selling.

As tempting as it is, the current game of car tetris is bad enough :ROFLMAO:

I think you have been pretty unlucky. I use a bluepoint socket which goes fully on and few taps with a hammer like @Adey. My dci head bolts were tight as fcuk and all came out. Arp do a stud and nut kit but its expensive and not really necessary on stock 172. Id just purchase a decent snap on...

Id bet brakes were also advisory :LOL:

Usual Kwik Fit advisories. Unless brand new car or lights it will have that down :LOL:

Yes right carry on from experience, very easy to bend when fitting.

Plenty breaking on the fb groups etc and on ebay. Found one in ten seconds. https://ebay.us/m/Oiog01

Buy a povo spec dash top and change the lot. Half hour job.
