i wonder if he fancys a race on the twisties!!!
oh and he has a 50bhp direct port nitrous system on it too!!! (1.2 16V)
nice pics there!!!!
i did it to be different
everyone is doing black wheels at the moment, and silver is SO 1990s!!!!
i dont half feel a plonker driving it though, EVERYONE just stares at you!! but that was the idea!!!
cambelt etc was fine, no damage at all
i think the bottom of the piston where the gudgen pin goes through and connects it to the rod has suffered a stress fracture and let go
pics to follow (sometime!!!)
oh and there were chunks of piston wedged holding one of the valves open!!!!
plus we found bits of piston ring + piston bits in the exhaust manifold!!!!!!!
we took the head off earlier, and cylinder 2 (from the gearbox end) is "missing" a piston!!!! missing as in its shattered and is now sitting in the bottom of the sump in bits!!!!
the rod has bent and wedged against the bottom of the cylinder
plus theres a hole in the cylinder wall also...
not yet, i have to get them back to the owner (mitch) early next week now due to FCS

these were turned over in 24hrs (including tyres off + refit)
notice that we even powdercoated the top of the bolts that hold the centre caps on to match the wheels!!!!

it needs a bit of persuading, and i sometimes have to use a flat blade screw driver and hammer to tap the circlip back into its slot
IIRC the large nylon part has a rubber O ring which could make it a tight fit, i maybe wrong though
well if its the R5/clio/megane B&M, then itll go straight in
you need to undo 4 x 10mm bolts on the heat sheild
1 x 13mm nut and bolt on the bottom of the shifter
then remove large circlip
pull out old shifter
assemble and wack in new one
reverse process
easy peasy
firstly they HAVENT GOT A CLUE!!!!!!
you dont need to touch the old stick, just remove it from under the car (comes out in 1 piece inc the knob, no cutting required!!)
secondly the B&M quickshift is identical for any clio from 1990 (even the R5s use the same unit!!!!)
if the cars on ramps...
