I've used a Citroen C1 seatbelt buckle, depending on what seat/side mounts you've got you could re-use the OEM bucket and pretensioner Theres a few threads on here that say 3.3 ohm is the right resistors to get

Took the Clio to Pistonheads Sunday service this morning The Fairmont had a LS in it with a massive single turbo.

Thanks mate 👍

Yeah, the kits come with instructions and there's loads of how-to guides on YouTube.

I bought a zinc plating kit and did everything myself for my engine build/front end refresh, it's about £200 outlay but having got stuff plated for other projects and losing the will to live fishing through a bucket of fasteners to work out what went where I think it's worth it so you can keep...

Got my seat fitted today, it's much lower which is nice, but despite the seat being as far over to the centre of the car as it can be the steering wheel feels more off centre than with the stock seat, looking at the stock seat it is offset on the base so it's just something I'll have to live...

If it's fitted it has to be tested and work, even the reference they've used states it's a fail.

You can get an LED replacement from a place called Barthel auto solutions, I have one fitted to mine, however if the light isn't fitted it can't be tested so a strip of black electrical tape over it will be a pass too...

Cheap Amazon pressure bleeder works really well for solo brake bleeding https://amzn.eu/d/06mWk0fw

Mine are the black series ones and fitted no bother with a freshly powder coated ARB.

I wanted to fit the bucket seat this weekend but another job took priority. When I was fitting the oil cooler I noticed the bottom corners of the radiator looked a bit wet, not willing to risk a failed rad leaving me at the side of the road I ordered a Nissens replacement. It was on offer with...

My aluminium arrived on Friday, so I've put the printed bits together and test fitted it For anyone wanting to do the same you'll need: 2200mm 19mmx1.6mm round tube X2 800mm 19x19x1.6 square tube X2 600mm 19x19x1.6 square tube X8 280x280x3mm aluminium plate X4 (this is for the turning...

That's what mine looks like, it looks like you've got the wrong size bush. IIRC the cup models have a 1mm thicker ARB

That's mine, it's a BTB rather than a Ktec but the extra hanger takes the weight off the centre section mount

What exhaust do you have? I had a second hanger made for my back box and it's much more secure

I bought one of those poly exhaust mounts for mine, split in exactly the same place without the car ever being driven, absolute pony. Went back to a stock one and it's been fine.

looking good mate, I'll dig out my timing tools this weekend if you're still after a lend of them?

it will cost you as much to get it cerakoted than it would to get a new stainless exhaust. https://www.demon-tweeks.com/uk/vht-flameproof-very-high-temperature-spray-paint-7000879/?srsltid=AfmBOoobeEjYNuyvknjyPQQmPm16MzQS1I2ucHnuI7fZGRs32wBY0nyW I've used this before with good results, I did...

I won't be selling it, I haven't got a printer (yet) and the lad that printed them for me is maxed out with his sideline of printing military trinkets. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4632013 That's the link to the free STL files I used, anyone with a printer can produce them, you'll just...

That's what the 3d printed bits look like, the STL files are on thingiverse, you just need to buy some 19mm ali, I've bought some Ali plates to make some turn plates too Should look like this when it's together

Got the Konis fitted today Arches are filthy from driving it in the rain to get the AD08's fitted earlier in the week, I'll get a few hours this afternoon to give it a proper clean. I haven't driven it yet to see how much the alignment is out but I've had a lad at work 3d print a set of...

I'm pretty sure it's just a con by 'Big Detailing' to make you spend more money, I've used waxes, polishes etc that were years old loads of times with no ill effects. I've got some paint sealant (Poorboys world EX-P) I must have bought in about 2012 that I used the other day, was still...

That's a really nice wheel.. if you're planning on using the personal horn push and it's a two wire one like mine was it will need some modification, it's really straightforward though, just need to remove the earth wire from the back of the horn push dismantle it, drill a small hole in the body...

Yeah it might, it's got to come out eventually though, in for a penny...

Have you had a mapp gas torch or induction heater on it too?

I went to move the Clio off the drive this afternoon to plug the daily driver in and noticed a little patch of oil under the NSR wheel, thought it was brake fluid at first but had a look under it and the damper was covered in oil, strange as they were bone dry last time I looked which was only a...

yeah you'll want to replace them while it's apart (they're only about £10 a set), and check/confirm end float on completion with a DTI and magnetic base

the horseshoe shaped things are the crankshaft thrust bearing, they set the crankshaft end float and take up axial load, the stuck rings definitely are a big contributor to your lack of compression. I still wouldn't put it back together with bores like that though

they come with the INA timing belt kit iirc
