Drilled & tapped the diff in situ for the renfort plate today. Not too bad a job with the small sealey drill i borrowed, new drill bit went through it like a knife going through butter. Had rags stuffed in the box to keep the swarf from falling in and will flush oil through. Will fit plate...
Up in the air yesterday & stripped
That will be the issue then broken spacer
Got my battery drill out and no chance of fitting it in the gap available. Have borrowed a small drill will revisit later on in the week weather permitting.
Ive noticed a weep from most f4r crank seals clio or meg and at low mileage. Does the crank wear bad on these and can you get away with moving the crank seal slightly to accomodate for wear ? Ive not had the pleasure of doing a crank seal yet but looks like oem tool is needed to save damaging it...
I think you might need to get the immobiliser done on ph1 ecu but not 100%, somebody will be able to advise. Apart from that fairly easy to wire up, seen a few r5gtts fitted with ph1 setup.
Ive had a garrett fail with a pop and f**k loads of smoke back in the day, exhaust impellor sheared off on full boost.
I still cant believe most of the clio turbo kits run ching spec cheapo turbos on them. Bang a garrett on and enjoy reliable boosting (well reliable turbo anyway ?)
Parts have arrived, just need to pop down the local fasteners for some 12.9 high tensile bolts tomorrow, get it stripped and hopefully wont find any nasties. Half expecting the box to be knackered with my luck lately.
Thats Renault life sadly ? prepare all the bits needed then something totally unrelated breaks?
Cheers mate? was flying to be fair. Still need to change the pads cant get away with the PBS.
Wrong dampers at a guess. My dci done the same on stock shocks - 172cup rear shocks were 25mm shorter when put side by side. Have a look and see what fitted.
Morning all
Ordered a Renfort plate and new genuine circlip after Saturdays circlip saga at Croft
Does anybody know what pitch/thread size tap is required ? Also bolt size etc so i can order some 12.9s to suit. Just preparing in advance so when it lands i can get it straight on no messing...
Weeks use of the note9 and can confirm its pretty awesome. Battery life is 2 days - you do not need to worry when its on 30% or less still have hours of use available.
I used Gtechniq c4 on them a couple of years ago and just topped them up with a little bit of trim gel. Need another coat of C4 really it lasts for ages.
Cheers mate. They used to be a few the same colour around here but most have dissappeared. I always think of it as the povo spec inferno
Croft didnt go so well !
Went out for sighting - noise tested 100db static. First session went ok no issues apart from lack of confidence in the pbs pads. Went out for 2nd session and 5 laps in rode the kerb on the lhd side exiting chicane and lost drive. Assume circlip has come off the diff as...
Cheers mate hopefully they will do the business. No fogs in this as pov spec lol
Fuel rail connector issue sorted. Removed it this morning an o-rings not the best, swapped them for ones off the new connector and all seems good.
I dont have any incar footage just off the rear view camera. Might set up a mo7nt inside for Croft if i get chance.
Yes mate from Redcar so only down the road. Christmas stages will be epic go for it ?
Croft prep continues
Brake ducts fitted - 100mm bass ports fit nice and tight in the foglight hole, filled inside edges with PU and hose cable tied to inner arch.
Had a bit of a carry on with this as removed the remains of the carbon canister to make room, knocking the fuel line causing it to...
Evening all
Having a nightmare, got Croft booked for Sat and connector to fuel rail has decided to not clip on properly and leak when knocked
Option 1 was renew pipe - Renaults system is down and no uk stock so thats off the menu for this week
Option 2 of renew fitting - got some on order...
