How many of you clicked on this thread hoping that there was a Clio being broken 👀

@FatRS I have to keep reminding myself it's a project car Hopefully my desire to learn remains greater than the desire to burn

Been flying round the Somerset countryside for a few hundred miles having a great time, but now back to planning and/or worrying about maintenance. To start off with I am not sure what the aux tensioner bushing is doing here. May need to give TwoTechs a bell. Only done 1K mile so far but not...

Exhaust hangers and clamp in good condition? (Back and mid)

https://cliosport.net/threads/clio-mk3-aliexpress-sat-nav-new-head-units-opinions.847217/ Some info in this thread, I have no idea myself but maybe something in here that's useful to you

Last little update for now. Was loosing first gear sometimes when stopping due to the stiff shift rocking around. As its a 3.0 it had bolts that would get in the way of a large o-ring. Also if I tighten the Stiff Shift down is squeaks loudly like a clown car made of balloons. Solution was to 3D...

Let me know if you do and what you want for them. They obviously still work... for now.... Will have to play the guessing game of how long 🤷‍♂️

Headlights out. The left headlight had a popped out adjuster but I replaced it anyway. The right side adjuster had blown into 12 pieces as well as the middle pop mount out of place... As there are mismatching bulbs I can only guess someone had a real hard time trying to replace the bulb while...

Time to look over the car while its off the road for a few weeks, interesting.... Also interesting... If anybody has sources to replace these plugs please give me a shout Also the clutch fork boot is loose, I wonder how much old oil has made its way in there Oh well, time to get the...

Cant answer for all insurers but Howdens told me that it would, went with Greenlight in the end - asked the advisor but he was too northern to understand over the :poop: phone line noise

Will probably sink a silly amount of money in and end up doing the same in a number of years... But that's a problem for then! Appreciate you dropping by, will give you a shout if anything a comes up - appreciate it

The 2118's look amazing, hopefully I can get through the other hundred things that need doing and get the brembo brackets shortened to fit them

Hopefully when @sUpErShOoTeRs 46 fully moves onto beemers and he splits the car I can have some panels off him 👀

After lurking for 7 years I have found myself in a position to do something stupid with my money. I could invest in a OEM spec Clio, keep it tasteful and sit on it as an 'investment'. Or buy something outrageous and hopefully have a lot of fun... The spec sheet is on the forum from some old...

@Frank1 no worries I have aligned the gear linkage a few times, in my experience it's a massive pain! Best of luck

I think the best thing to do is pull the gear linkage out of the gearbox from the circlip/pivot. That way you don't mess with the alignment of the linkage, hopefully when you reattach it to the box it still lines up If you are fully removing the subframe you should only need to remove the...

You will need to remove the spider mount on top of the gearbox (3 bolts), and the gear linkage of course, top mount and rear mount can be left in place if you are moving the sub frame. just remember to support the engine from below during/after

What springs are on the shocks? I'm sure sport springs are stiffer than 1.2, but most sport owners change to Eibach (sportline) to get more stiffness and drop, I run a set and enjoy them (on a 1.2) The shocks most likely won't fit on the front due to hub spacing, the rears are interchangable...

*Pegs that go into the airbag slots

Exactly the same thing happened to me. The airbag frame had been bent, so the slots in the dash wouldn't release. My solution was to unplug and unscrew the passenger airbag in situ and bring it out with the dash - super fiddly with a 1/4 wrench but it worked. Then bent the airbag frame back...

Heat gun? Might be able to soften and remove with a plastic tool before going in with anything sharp

I have a Haynes manual, that's pretty useful Not told me to stick it in the bin or plug it into CLIP yet

HTH

Fruity, custom exhaust?

60K in mine and never a single pop or bang, might be worth fixing it before f*cking with it

That's what I was thinking... If MC fluid/pad pressure is the same as before and the pedal progression from the bigger calliper cylinder feels good why mess with it 🤷‍♂️

@stealthstylz have you had chance to change over the master cylinder? I have been running this conversion for a couple months and getting on well with it. Prefer the linear feel so much more. I have 182 MC ready to go in and was wondering how you got on

Would recommend genuine again. Aftermarket split after two years and leaked the gel-bush-fluid stuff inside. Genuine been on their three years and still doing a great job. (assuming its one of these) And for the rear engine mount in principle yes, the bolt hole is offset so as long as you...

From my experience three options: 1. Buy genuine, rubber lasts way longer and stays tougher. I had an aftermarket (maybe Febi) break on me after two years. When braking the engine would shift forward meaning I lost reverse, 1st and 2nd... That was a fun drive back from work 2. Buy a cheap one...
