It was a company in dyce Scotland (highland electroplaters) they just do industrial stuff but I popped in with them all in a carrier bag thinking it would be a no, boy said 20 quid be ready in a few days, there will be a company local to you surely, some came back plated but excessive pitting so...

You can get all the bolts cleaned and plated if they are not to badly pitted, I was £20 for all mine to get done from a local industrial coatings firm. The front subframes are galvanised from factory so that would come up good with a good power wash/strong cleaner. Powder coating anything on...

Likely a faulty switch, or you'll need to trace back where the power is coming from

Very sad news mate, horrible illness 😔

Injector seals maybe, my 172cup runs perfect with no known faults for years, it also has always had a lumpy idle, I've just accepted that's how it is. I have a 275 megane, that is also the same at idle 🤷‍♂️🫣

Wow some good power! I'd run it at a bar, be more than enough power for the track, thing must fly 😂

Buy the best looked after 220 you can find, the gearboxes are fine

Clutch is likely the wrong way round

second hand diy mechanic hub...oops 😂

Reset the linkage would be your first thing to check

Prices for various parts are hugely marked up to general public, grooved discs for the rear of my megane, £104 each posted from Germany. In the uk they range from £3-500, lesser price is because they were on sale, uk price is basically double depending where you go 🫣

I was £700 last year for belt kit, dephaser, pump, stat etc at a specialist, invoice showed cost of timing kit from renault was just over £100, parts were roughly £300, he said they got them cheap from renault as they buy bulk batches, mine was completed in 6hrs at rentec

There's not many for sale, but im sure you'll find one over the coming months. You looking for a standard car, modified or just see what comes up

Just grip the piston in the centre of the spring, Stilson or vice grips, put a bit of leather if you have any against the jaw to save marking the piston

They look fine, most likely been painted in the past I'd guess, unless its never outside

Also keeping the ride height at a sensible level is the way to go on a road car with all the variations in road surfaces/camber/holes, lowered cars pull you all over the road when pushing on from my experience.

For a road car I'd have it a little soft on the rear and medium on the front, these cars are not heavy enough imo when firm, makes them bounce about when they hit bumps etc. I've got bilstein b14 and they are a little soft, but to me it works fine on road, little soft for the track though on...

There is a 5amp fuse in the engine bay for the pump, try thst first

Just means you'll need to remove the brake pipe if you ever need to move the caliper out the way for any reason

Yup as above, rust is your main concern, next regular issue is electrical problems, immobiliser/uch faults and crunching gearbox more so at high rpm. Everything else is very simple to replace, I'd always buy the best one possible to spend money on

I'd stick in a set of second hand recaros if its mainly a road car 👍

Just visit the local petrol station, once a month is more than enough 🫣😁

The clio 182 trophy is great, but for everyday car hands down the mk3rs just walks away from it easily from my daily driving, I drive a 275 daily ots just easy to drive fast as a road car imo

Just buy a cheap seat and mount, put it in night before is your best way I'd say, you'd need to use a harness also on track to keep you snug 👍 i have some cheap corbeau thats fine, not very comfy for daily driving though

Might be someone on here local to you that could lend a hand, with the tool required and done a few

I'd do it, in general very few new seals leak

You'll be fine, once you feel the grip after a few laps, dont need to be hitting the limiter all the way round, need good tyres pads fluid and brake ducting then you'll have a great day,its to far for me or I'd be going 🫣

Sounds like a perfect drive just to enjoy it for what it is, fun and beautiful!

4k for everything ready to drop in is decent I'd say with minimal hassle
