Rog, looks like some nice updates there.. cheers mate. I just run the standard fork which does need a bit of grease from time to time where the conical shaped washer sits in the fork to stop squeaks, it also feels much lighter when greased too!

Defo yeah. I’m sure nick would sell that extra support separately.
I removed the box fitted the new fork and refitted the box Then found that washer your talking about to fit the old fork 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

How long you had yours fitted and how you found it

Pretty much 2 years mate, I have a custom pedal setup using an AP racing master cylinder but using the pure stuff on the gearbox end. I’ve found it to be so much better than the cable setup, sharper changes.. I used to get a bit of clutch drag using a cable clutch between shifts on the track and this sorted that, I use the Sachs performance clutch too.

One thing I will say so it doesn’t happen to you is make sure you thread lock the body of the cylinder, mine unwound itself on the way to the ring in Belgium (don’t actually know) we’d just been cruising for miles and miles and had a few blasts when I went to change gear and my clutch pedal went to the floor... so I pulled over (all mates gone in the distance) feeling a bit worried, also 35+ degrees. Luckily caught it just in time with the internal spring just sitting there and fluid leaking out. Anyway managed to get my hand in the red hot bay and screw it back together, luckily just enough fluid in the reservoir to make it to the ring where I sourced new fluid, duct tape and cable ties... never came loose again!

Just had these arrive. PMS bilstein PSS10’s Wanted some decent coilovers since I’ve fitted the GAZ ones. Especially as these have special fitment 😁

 

[Chambers_RS]

Finally got my wiring box back from flocking from the Cartek switch panel

 

[Robproof]

Going to have to work on the Clio congregation to buy Nukeproof’s in the future

Orange looks a nice vessel though.

I was thinking about getting myself a set of these in the new year. Be interested to see how you get on with them.

 

[Chambers_RS]

Rear Billies on with black series bushes.

Ive had to buy a right angled drill to drill out the rivets/pclips holding the brake lines to the bulk head.
Now this is done I can start measuring up the new setup finally.

 

[Chambers_RS]

Started finalising the pedal box set up.

I’m hoping gravity will feed the masters with no issues or I could be a bit stuck 😂

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

Should be fine. My Escort was very similar and worked ok.

 

[rttam]

whats happening to the old gaz coilovers?

Its one of my favourite builds. I'm sure having come this far you want to finish it and deserve to get it on track 👍

Thanks 😊
Yeah it defo deserves to be finished and beaten on track 👍🏻 Just need to stop adding to it but I find the build as enjoyable as actually driving it 😂

Got my Tilton brake bias adjuster mounted and routed today, went for the yellow knob. Just need attaching to the pedal box.

Also fettled the scuttle panel to clear and give access to the brake and clutch fluid. Gave the scuttle a lick of paint aswell.

Thinking about selling my Wilwood brake setup if anyone is interested?
4 pot calipers
Bells and rotors 295mm AP racing
Braided lines

 

[Mickb]

Nice,

@Djw Dave would like the 4 pots

 

[haimsey]

Nice job with the scuttle. Looks really tidy

Thanks. I’m tempted to buy a new scuttle panel and do it again tho 😂🤔 as I cut into the side rather than just cutting a hole, if that makes sense. Took a abit of strength out of it but the bonnet will hide and help that i think.

Do you mean the very end of the scuttle under the bonnet hinge? I didn't spot that bit, maybe make the cut closer to the left hand bottle lid if you do it again

Id defo do it like you suggested if I do get another but it’ll be ok for now I think. The scuttle Clip will hold it fairly tight.

 

[haimsey]

Looks like that will be fine, I was imagining different tbh

 

[Nafoff]

Nice work mate. like the access to the scuttle, proper handy

 

[gez 172]

What are you up to? @Chambers_RS !? 😅😅😭 end of the road?

 

[Chambers_RS]

@Nafoff has kindly done me a picture of the Clio, collected it from work today and looks pucka thanks very much 👍🏻

Found some time to fit my carbon fibre door cards.

I’ve put loads stuff in the for sale section that I need to shift 👍🏻

 

[Chambers_RS]

Nooo, just fancy a doing something different 😂 have a habit of tinkering too much 😂

 

[EVO 4LEX]

K swap incoming....

Was a pleasure drawing this one, the colours look great on it.

Are they streamline carbon doorcards?

Thanks Neil.

No I don’t think they are, I think I got them off eBay. The same seller that does the carbon foot trays 🤔

 

[Chambers_RS]

Engine and box out

new subframe offered up 😎

 

[Nafoff]

Look very similar to mine,

anyways.... Have I missed something???
Just seen the crazy for sale thread... whats going in?

That's what I was thinking too!

 

[haimsey]

I'm guessing K swap, everything is getting K swapped at the moment (only because there's a company released a set out mounts, and I want to do it)

 

[hostler]

Love this build!

 

[jp_lcr]

I can't take the suspense, put us out of our misery 🤣 every time there's a comment I check to see what the engine news is. A lot of guesses on K swap, my PMS engine theory has gone when you sold manifold, latest Clio or Megane engine?

 

[Krarl]

I know

Tenner and I'll tell you

 

[Chambers_RS]

Original plan has now changed 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

I’ll update in abit on way to collect new engine, box and upgrades 👌🏻

 

[David James]

Wtf hahah you love changing things at the last moment.
Hopefully it's turbod

 

[Chambers_RS]

Plan C has started.
