Little bit more progress on the Clio over the last week. I noticed the rear shocks were paggered so swapped them for some cup ones. The ones on there were shite fitted by a previous owner so hopefully these are a nice improvement.
Next up was the issues with the abs sensor and the Christmas tree dashboard. I ordered some sensors from Latvia for about 1/4 of the price of the ones from the uk so got them fitted. Hub with all the bits stripped back
The new sensor was the right fitment and the right length but back to front. Nothing that can’t be fixed. Tapped a new thread into the hub for it
and all nice and fitted
and when I was on I gave the front half of the calliper a lick of red to match the fronts
That’s done the trick and the abs lights off 👍. also fitted a new set of pads to the front that I’d had sat for ages. It’s bugging me that they don’t cover the whole disk and I’ll starting to get a rusty ring on the disk around the middle but dont suppose there’s much I can do about that.
next up was the mot and it passed with flying colours 😁. No advisories at all!! I’d adjusted the preload before taking it in and the boost is spot on now too. It’s coming on boost not much over 2.5k and holding 8psi to the redline so absolutely perfect.
The only thing the tester said was the oil return is quite close to the exhaust and is showing signs it’s been warm and might end up melting through eventually. I’ll replace it with a steel line and that’ll sort that!
tomorrow’s job is to tax it then it’s play time 😎
