Unfortunately not no, just down on a Sunday and away Friday afternoons, I'm away dinner times on Fridays so just thought it's be worth asking if anyone wants to meet and greet etc one night this week while I'm down :)
Tends to do that over here, a lot ! lol weather round here is the route of all evil xD
Yeah the pinch bolt will be just behind the clutch pedal and its of a bizarre shape so it only fits one way so you don't need to worry about your tracking as such, and yeah don't worry about the boot, go to...
Its not rocket science just to undo the steering column to the knuckle by your feet, I think its just a 13mm then with that, you keep the rack attatched to the frame and you can lower the frame properly, I struggled when I first did mine and I left the rack up and dropped the subframe ! Trust me...
Simply enough just curious to whether or not its best to try taking the engine and box out of the top or raising the car and removing from beneath ? And preferably keeping the gearbox and engine together to split once its out of the car
Thanks in advance if I even get any replies Ta Mark
I'm a mechanic by trade anyway but I have no interest for it any more I know what I want now and im going for it as soon as possible so fingers crossed this can evaporate rather quickly !
No I don't think it is quite worth putting all the money into it as when I first got the car I did 200 miles in it and the gearbox blew on it so that was another box needed, bought a reconditioned box put a new clutch in it, then to find this great box was crunching in third so I put a third...
I understand that's the best thing to do but nobody wants a car without the standard engine in it and I personally stay well away from cars with different engines its never a good sign and im not putting the time and money now of repairing it, don't get me wrong I can do it all myself im in the...
Lost interest with the car, recently put a clutch in it, £100 on a new starter motor, £56 on a Crank Sensor just want shut and if I have muppets offering £500 to take it ill just strip it myself, it was only last month I paid nearly £500 for the exhaust . .
I have a BlackGold clio 182 that's just ticked over 68,000 miles and the aux belt has decided to jump into the timing case for a peek, im not interested in all the ''Did you do this'' Did a garage do it?'' ''This should of been done!'' I'm not interested whats happened has happened, anyways the...
I know there's been a lot of these threads started and it doesnt take a genius for you to notice people get irritated by it but here goes my problem . .
The car runs fine in a morning when cold, after a blast when warm and just pottering about whatever i may be doing, but the misfire is only...
Glad to see another that gets stuck in and does jobs as they need doing lol, so far ive had my 182 9k and ive put a reconned box in it as my original shat itself at the end of my street, 2 clutches ( The first one broke :/ ), handbrake cables, new rack, new PAS pump, water pump, cambelt, aux...
I need the parts you have ! lol i have the front splitter and thumb grips in carbon and all the rest im going to have to build up piece at a time but i think yours would look mint just with the thumb grips left to go :)
Would of loved to have made it, shame the reliability on these fcukers held me back :( never mind new rack and an excuse for a milltek so sign me up for the next meet :)
Well, im sure there will be some decent scenery around southport area with being by the water, obviously b'pools nearer for me but this would be you doing me a favour not me making you travel the postcodes for me lol ill definitley give you a shout though mate ta :)
You have some really nice photos in there especially a black clio on some abandoned land 'FFH', where abouts are you in NW ?
Ha ! Maybe, if youd want to go in the Mk1 lol that would keep me in shape for the rest of the month xD
I'll have a look for Riad now and have a butchers :) thanks
I'm wondering whether or not they may be anyone that fancies taking some pics of the motor for me that lives near to me and obviously for a negotiable fee, as i'm not interested in buying the latest cameras and spending a months wages on one, id rather pay someone so they can earn whilst...
Really ? Do you really need to go that far with the comment of it just being 'awful' ? Theres a few on this site that put pathetic little comments on like that its the same when it comes to someone doing something 'different' and they get abused for it and when people stay oem they say 'its just...
If you dont like the photos I have which I know are'nt very good anyway, you can always just get any pic of a clio for me with TD Pro Race 3's on it please just either silver, anthracite, black, etc
Ta in advance Mark
