Still Problem solving. Would be easier if I wasn’t being stubborn and used a normal Clio rad 😂
Anyway to gain clearance on the stat housing and fans I’ve had to buy 2 more fans, this time push fans so I can mount them on the front of the rad rather than rear.
I still wasn’t sure this would...
When I ordered my brakes and wheels from PMS I was debating 7j or 8j 15s. Nick reckon 8j need a little work to stop catching if I remember correctly, along with offsets and camber playing apart. I went 7j in the end but mainly because the 8j wheels were along wait time 😂.
Once mines built I’ll...
What’s it like? And how safe do you feel under it?
I’ve been looking at mid raise scissor lifts as I sell them through work but this maybe an option as they take up less room.
Faffed around with the boot for an hour or so today working out why it would never close flush.
Turns out the rubber seal/the inner part of the boot clearance wasn’t right resulting in some of the seal being chopped.
Got all the pins and buttons lined up and it shuts much better. Just need...
Banged my Ricky Evans heated screen in along with the new rubbers. Wasn’t as bad as I thought actually was worried doing it on my own but turned out easy.
Also ordered new Pitking push button releases for the boot as I don’t think I can get aero catches to work with the current holes cut.
Finally found a CV joint!!
After 10 shafts 8 old 2 new aftermarket brands and a lot of research we have one. Turns out these K20-Clio shafts use the 32 internal spline for the outer CV joint which isn’t that common and I think only on the 172 cup shafts. All aftermarket brand shafts inc the...
I’d 110% go with the a-class hydroelectric pump.
Easy 2 mount, 2 wires making easy to wire and works great with good feed back.
I’ve fitted one to my mates eg civic with a k20 in and it works well.
I know how you feel, frustration is creeping in on mine now after moving so well for abit.
Defo don’t break this up, you’ve take time to everything probably, just take a bit more time.
Ticking things off slowly but struggling with finding a decent outer CV joint that’s usable once removed. I’ve brought 3 shafts off eBay and all where knackered. 🤦🏻♂️
Also having trouble making up a bottom coolant hose that doesn’t play on my OCD 😂
Problem I have is the thermostat even with...
Slowly ticking through the jobs. I’ve got loads to do and mock up before I can get the wheels back in the ground. I want the wheels and suspension set before tacking the chassis leg and gearbox mount.
Had this gearbox breather on order for a while as mine was shagged.
I’ve been looking...
Think with a standard 172/182 it would be fine to be honest.
May need something with the PMS manifold. The manifold Is lower on the K20 even if I went for a PMS style manifold so will be fine
Yeah well happy. Took a few brave pills to drill through it mind 🙈 but was fine 😂 rather that than make new bloody hoses 😂
Ties the engine and dash together nicely
I received my carbon bulk head panel from @EVO 4LEX and its proper smart and perfect fit.
Got a new oil cap and coolant cap, I’ve also fitted a Ktuned recirculation hose, ordered a Ktuned blank for the housing and fitted the Ktuned coolant housing.
Also ordered the clutch hose from HEL
