It will be sad to see it go. From what ive read they are running events until the end of the year, hopefully the Renaultsport trackday in October will still go ahead
Give the megane a quick enhancement too. Started at 430pm last Sat, by the time it was taped and clayed it was 7pm. Quick hit with poorboys white diamond worked in with a finishing pad and then followed by a coat of collinite 476s before the light went. It needs a full correction badly but not...
Got a bit done over the weekend
List from last time
1.Fit new rear cylinders, adjust shoes and bleed/flush fluid with fresh rbf500 - done - front pads are quite far down so got some pbs fronts on order
2. Fit new engine mounts - started pissing down so had to abandon it
3. Fit V6 airbox -...
Cheers mate, its getting there ! Got a few more bits planned for it when money allows. Its an awesome daily driver at the moment, rides well on the bc's and ice cold aircon, plenty of power and half decent mpg.
Been thinking if i can get away with extending it forwards to make it bigger haha...
172 cup are longer than stock. Ring up Rpd and they can confirm which ones you need. Firstline also do an aftermarket one to suit but they are a carry on to get and not much cheaper than genuine Renault. You want quality tie rod ends too oem, lemforder or trw
I had a set of part worn ps3s off the fella on ebay, great value for money they had 7mm of tread. Good wet & dry grip for road use.
Ad08rs are great too cheap as chips. Yet to use mine in anger on track, see how they fair at Blyton. Perform great on fast road use in the dry though.
I have an ebay special 20ton press that i paid £140 for years ago..its been a good bit of kit and has paid for itself loads of times. I only really use it for pressing new bearings in - i belt the old ones out with hammer and chisel, the shock gets them moving no bother.
Also great for pressing...
Give it ten years and the prices go up and everybody will be regretting breaking them for nowt and whinging about the high prices of parts become rare, same as the R5gtt owners now lol
Engine swap is easy enough on these. Stick a new clutch in whilst engine is out, fresh belts/dephaser, New service items and good to go for plenty of miles
In other news i fitted the Bc coilovers to the mrs meg 250 cup. Had a mare doing it as somebody had been there on the passenger side and fecked up a couple of bits. All sorted now looks and drives great, really impressed with the bc's for the cash. Lowered 40mm front 30mm rear from stock...
7:30pm job done and absolutely knackered due to heat and lack of food. Looks ok though and free
I had planned to collect a pair of ktec/vibratechnics mounts in Darlington so straight in the clio to get them after fitting dash ended up getting food at 10pm lol. My engine has a bit of a rock now...
Small update
Mega busy week so Kangoo has sat there doing nothing. Wheels black with brake dust and fallout after last weeks mega b road blast.
Sunday comes and i have a free day so time to get a few jobs rattled off.
1st job is to check the brakes out as pedal has developed a bit of travel...
Clip drivers are all 32bit.
I couldnt get away with a vm running xp as the usb would not connect properly for some reason so bought a chepa old xp laptop to make life easier.
Later versions of clip can run on windows 7 32bit (v170 & up from memory ?) so might be another option
Ast's look great i need a set of fronts for my Kangoo when money allows. I would keep an eye on the camber adjustable bushes the megane ones they done were terrible and kept moving. I would be tempted to add negative camber on the strut bolts instead.
Bc coilovers finally fitted to the mrs meg 250 to replace the knackered cup shocks and springs. This has fought me every step of the way and i was very close to blowing my top but its finally back on its wheels. Not even driven it yet but looks alright will see ?
If you scan it with clip a fault code will be stored. I personally would just drive it until the light is on all the time then diagnose and fix as it might have just had a hissy fit. Are all tyres the same size ?
Rattle gun best for the strut tops ive never managed a clio set with swan neck spanner
