That blue steel needs two coats to fully seal 👍

I've had the same issue with new depo headlights, there's no cracks in them I can see but they fog up whether I've used the lights or not, there getting ripped out so i can see what the issue is, very annoying

So it was running rough as toast then you went back on track 😂🫣 could be a fuel issue

Veban motorsport have just got a few shells if thats any interest to you

Yeah you'd need to be vigilant spending decent money on any old French shyte

You thought about just selling it as is and buying a minter to enjoy, let someone else waste their time chasing rot! both will be the same cost the time your finished, thats what id be doing anyway, resell or move it on

Clio looks to be in a good shape to start with, is there any corrosion? Mine was good apart from a little under the rear axle mounts, nothing serious but guessing it would of got bad hadn't i seen to it then, was 10yrs ago now 😂 time to sell it i think ha

Powder coating just cant deal with stone chips, i used to use my cup all year, it was restored underneath and everything has held up well with it being waxoiled over the years, its all the powder coated items that now look in a sad state, rear axle was chipped to death within 18months after not...

Worst thing is once you get into it there's usually a load more fabrication needed, not always but its usually the case

You'd be better getting a good shell and using that instead of repairing the one you have if it requires what you've listed above, most quotes will be high as its a lot of work, once you add paint the shell will cost you more than the cars worth when built, thats the route I'd go down anyway

Looks like it'll be nice once complete, only thing i would say is I'd avoid powder coating except the wheels, paint is far more durable with stone chips and the like, powder simply looks terrible and falls apart in a few years if the car is used in all weather's, I've learnt from my mistakes 😂...

Their pistons are coated unlike the renault ones, which then deteriorate, crack and causes them to stick, mine failed quickly after very little use, If your only getting an intermittent issue then it could be the master cylinder, it sounds to still be a brake issue

Sounds brake related, recheck the calipers, check disc are running true, test master cylinder, best for this to be done on a brake test machine really if its intermittent, that's where I'd start. Were the calipers overhauled using big red pistons, if so then that might be the issue also

Whip your engine out and send it too aw motorworks for a refresh, saves buying another 100k banger imo, if your keeping it long term its a no brainer

That's fine, if its just when accelerating it has to be either shafts, hubs, engine or box touching something, get it on axle stands, fire it up and have a mate find the issue

It's the solid grill that spoils it for me on these, the bumpers ok, get the dremmel out I say

I just sprayed mine with wd40 and worked it up and down without taking it apart last month, had the same issue you had, worked it a good while and it's back to working fine, they basically never move much which is the issue. I've had mine coated in wax a few times in the last 10yrs which has...

Spray some wd40 on the valve and work it up and down, most get sticky after a while. The valve needs to be in the up position to get fluid through the valve, you'll only get a little if the axle is hanging down with car jacked up. You can tie wrap the valve closed while you bleed it

Yeah it may not need fitted depending on the damper your fitting maybe, you'll know if you need it when you tighten the top mount prior to fitting it into the car, the play is obvious to see, search on here and it'll show you the washer somewhere, I don't have any pics unfortunately

There's a daft washer you need to fit with these topmounts or they knock, I had to fit it using B14 coilovers, it's either that or the bearing, I'd say washer first with that amount of play tbh

Don't get one, they look horrendous 😂🫣 homemade max power scene cars looked better🔭🤑

That looks an old tyre, it's cracked to fook

I've got a 275cup, they are decent enough but still rattly, cheap made and suspension is firm, doesn't bother me but it's something you may not like

Be very wary letting someone else touch the engine before sending it back, as that more than likely will totally void the warranty, as right now they say there isn't an issue, very easy to switch blame. I'd only use someone else should the problem not get resolved, you won't be able to...

Just take it back, it needs to be tested, likely a ring issue if it's down on power, if it is and you keep driving it it'll soon if not already be a liner issue also 🫣

Bilstein is all you'll need, I ordered mine direct from Germany years ago which was much cheaper, I guess you still can, I couldn't find the link I used though 🫣

I would defo recommend fitting a good set of all weather's for winter, them p zeros are a summer tyre really. I run goodyear vector 4s in winter and they are fine in the snow/rain, other tyre I run is the ps4s for summer, it's not the best in very cold weather imo

Any garage will manage just the aux belt mate

The one linked above was the only one I could see online, I'm looking to get one soon also fitted in the garage, such a chore fighting the standard plastic shyte
