Decided with some spare time to give the rear of the car some light prep/treatment. Gave it a clean and then inspected the area. Found 2 small holes by the wing tops which I will address in the future. Hit any rust with a wire wheel and then coated it with Fertan. Gave it 48 hrs dry time then...

Managed to get out of shopping but only for a few hours.... in the morning I tacked the 36-1 trigger to the bottom pulley, this allows me to keep the timing wheel fixed and not have to adjust it every time I remove it. Whipped everything off and gave it a clean. Used the "shopping" time to allow...

been messing about like a child trying to get it poping flames with launch control.... it hasnt worked yet in other notes, there is a decent oil leak from the timing cover end (can see it on the back box in the vid), got myself a cork gasket and seal set so may tackle that over the crimbo...

i dont actually get it, are they there to smash stuff up?

this is wild

pretty sure twingo mk2/base clio mk2 items will fit too (same 259mm discs) https://turborenault.co.uk/threads/adeys-mk1-clio-oasis-c1j-swaped-td04-turbo.80994/post-589612

Yeah the Twingo had the old welly on, was awesome on that. I went with the Forge item for direct fit and what not. I mean its not bad as such, I just think it could be a lot better. Probably a decent upgrade for a stock/stock mapped car, the oem intercooler is shocking on that. Probably asking...

Was actually checking some old track day vids, 15 ambient was seeing 40s on pulls! Thats only on what I could see, imagine it being alot worse on 20+ days. Recovery was still decent though. On the road I dont think its an issue. Not a bad shout on a welly tbf

Still tinkering, giving the car a go with the recirc removed, same as I do with all the turbo motors. Gives them that "dose" sound normally. Hasn't thrown a wobbly on the dash yet but if it does I'm sure I could just code it out. Sounds pretty cool. Still want to look the boost pipework, I...

This is a pretty big update (in my eyes) for Clio 4 RS aftermarket support. Ive posted this chaps youtube stuff previously, along with his properly in depth info on hpfp and injector flow rates (why the clio 4 rs hpfp taps out at around 300bhp) hes been working on motec/renault stuff and now he...

Had a little time in the garage today, decided to take a look at what failed in the gearbox. 24hr support from Steve Swan (thanks again (y)) Cage in the end bearing seems to have failed and locked up. The end bearing is very stiff on the shaft and has spun slightly in the housing. Hopefully the...

Seems to be 1-2 degrees cooler on general driving (4/5 above ambient instead of 5/6). On boost at speed its also a bit cooler than it was. What I did notice the most was it seemed to recover quicker than previously seen/noted. That's about as technical as its going to get without proper pre and...

Bit of trim added. I may fully contour it to the bonnet if I make a revised version

Its always a thought at the back of my mind. Id defo miss it though, great all round car. Not sure what id replace it with if I was to let it go. Only thing i could think of would be a proper kit car

I was bored and had a little time on my hands. Something ive been wanting to knock up for a while was a heat shield to protect the big open filter I have. Had similar on my old Leon cupra R from badger 5 so knocked up a shield from aluminium. Mounted it on a cotton real rubber at the back to...

I've come to the conclusion that I'm getting very old, this should have been a simple job and it did me in. Took way too long and that really annoyed me. Anyway, gearbox out and in the garage

So I managed to get hold a gearbox today, I am told it is a r10 1300 box. Trying to give it a clean up as its very dirty. The cups (cant remember if that's wat Steve called them) are loose, one was off enough for the diff to move about. With them pushed up and turning the input the diff rotates...

want to see the car make some noise, then lock up.... watch this

sounds awesome (I may be biased...) :D indeed, debating slapping a later item in the hole for now whilst trying to source the parts for a stronger 5 speed gearbox build

Car was singing on the dyno before the gearbox went tight.... full video will be up soon

awesome find on the TB, very much looking forward to how you get on with this one

Id take that 😁

Just a few test miles to complete, but I think we are ready for Tuesdays mapping session. Get posting your power estimates 👍🏼

indeed, fitting is super simple, you will need to reset all the adaptations once done though

Todays job was to get the fuel line in, ran it along with the heater matrix hoses but will likely replace with some hard line in the future. Rain was coming down hard, wind blowing and the light dimming fast made it very fun to do. Only had about 2ltrs of fuel to test the tank with so Ill grab...

Some oil and coolant on the way from opie, base timing rechecked and adjusted and car running sweeter again. Fuel tank mounted and im now waiting on delivery of a few fittings and some fuel pipe. struggling to get heat into It, unsure if the thermostat is faulty so may need to replace that too...
