Silver lining and all that 😂.

Well I can't see the other side going any easier so I'll remember that 👍.

Yep I tried the big f**k off milwokky but I did spin and I didn't jack it. My stress levels were high last week so resorting to destruction came quicker than usual. I did think about just throwing a match in the garage and shutting the door too 😂.

With the M2 booked into the garage on the Friday I set about sorting the clio on Thursday. Simple job, undo the tre and fit the bush then remember to put the abs wire bracket on and tighten the tre up again. Right? Well that's not what was supposed to happem. Stupid f**king chinesuim shyte just...

I only thought it would need help with the emissions, all that s**t is easily fixed.

Let's just say he was thorough 🤣.

Well it didn't fail on the emissions which was a shock. I even asked him 3 times while he was going through what it did fail on 🤣. But let's rewind a little bit. I dropped the car off at 8:30 and told the guy what I'd done to it and that it had been parked up for 18 months and asked that they...

I had a good look around online for new top bushes but finding a pair was impossible and I done want to fit poly bushes anywhere really. A couple of bolts and the rear springs and dampers are done. Diffuser needed a good clean while it was off too. The rear discs are like new thankfully...

Onto the rear end to fit the BC kit. That meant turning the car around because the garage is a bit full at the back. It was a lovely sunny day and I was tempted to just jack it up on the drive but that would definitely have attracted rain. Ah that made seeing the garage a bit tricky. If only I...

Is it time to revive the CS calendar too with some pics from the archive?

Well the brake pipe bracket didn't want to fit on the top of the hub again 🤔. Why could that be? Well there the pipe runs between the damper and the arb droplink. And there it doesn't 🤦. A bit of faffing and I managed to remove the droplink and replace it with the brake pipe where it should...

Finally it was time to start putting it all back together and all the pics I took while dismantling it became priceless. New parts fitted: Genuine Renault bottom arms. Genuine Renault tie rods. Trw track rod ends. SNR wheel bearings. New wheel hubs. BC Racing BR coilovers including new arb...

Yes Krarl, those ones. 🙄 Don't get ahead of me 🤣.

With that done it was back to pulling parts off the car. The ac never worked and as I said earlier the condenser was crusty so arch liners out and bumper off which made lots of space to get at things and tie up the radiator when the rusted rad support was removed. Track rods and ends were...

Next job was to strip the swivel hub so the bearings could be replaced. I was pleasantly surprised at how easily it came apart even though it was a bit crusty. I only have pics of it that I took to remind me of which bolt went where but you can see the state of it. Plans to have them blasted...

Mine was a lot more colourful. Surprisingly it sailed through the emissions and just failed on everything else😂.

Where asre the pics of the AA man breaking into @Myfanwyi Cup at FCS? That was a club highlight for sure 😂.

Get some stainless caliper pins that wont seize in too. https://ozertengineering.com/product/brembo-caliper-pins-renault-clio-3-megane-2/

Back to normal state 😂

I think everyone knows how I feel about 2118's by now 🤣.

Back in one piece.

If you've put 2118's on instead we're going to have a falling out!

Is that all that's left of it? I knew it was rusty but wow 😱.

1x4 mm so they stand out on the boot will be perfect 😍.

The current banner would make a great sticker to celebrate the milestone. @Nik

All this place reminds me of is the patio I never got to build. CSF wasn't the same after that fire.

Maybe next year, I've bolted all the bits back on that side now 😂.

I gave up trying to get the rack bush out of the clio, it didn't seem like it was meant to come out at all!

They are usually shipped with a clip keeping the rod compressed and with it removed the rod should extend by itself. Sounds like it is defective.

About time I test my memory and update this tale of woe. The car is still in the same position as my last update but much less together. Lets see what I can recall... At the end of March I did start to remove parts and took loads of pics of screws and fixings because I knew it would be a while...
