3 days fook that, good job I got a mechy with a 2 post ramp and lots of ugger duger guns Haha
Lucky I had a mate local who had a couple of spacer washers laying about to get me out of a jam also.
Went out today to do a bit of photo whoring...
Kam Racing do them too. https://www.kamracing.co.uk/car-tun...o-mk2-grams-oe-rear-disc-spacer.html?___SID=U
Mine didn't have the spacers fitted when I changed the disc's, glad I'd ordered some spacers as a precaution! @Louis' the easiest way to do any job is chuck ££ at someone else!
Clio RS
Thanks! And they are deliver to germany! Gerat Great!
Where's the fun in that though? I'll have a go at anything!
The fun is in an extra dee hours driving rather than lying under the car swearing:tearsofjoy:
This guy knows!! Haha
I will too within reason but when I know it’ll be a pig of a job I’ll pay someone
Hold on to them! They’re hard to get hold of in a emergency! Lol
So my £17 panic buy washer turned up today, got to say that the finished quality of the product leaves a little to be desired but owell least I have a new and a used spare now.
In other news I’ve ordered the red centre exhaust hanger as it’s catcher over bumps and a new gear gaitor as mine has a little hole in it and for when I carry out the @182_steve mod to my pms in case I break the clips.
Good man! Now you just need to find an elastic band, the most expensive mod of all, and you're sorted! :smile:
Gaiters are so cheap, well worth getting another
Small update...
When we did the rear spacers Tuesday I noticed that the middle exhaust hanger had failed an was looking past it’s best. Popped to local dealer and ordered a new one as well as a new gear gaitor as I wanted to carry out the @182_steve PMS mod.
The old failed hanger...
I noticed that the black one wasn’t a oem part as it had no Renault markings on it.
Hopefully it’ll pull the centre up abit so I won’t catch when I go into the local multi storey car parks.
Next was the PMS mod... During he test drive it was noted that the minimal vibration I did have is now nonexistent.
Whilst it was all apart I decided to put the oem sound deadening material back in to further reduce any noise that is made.
Since my gaitor has a tiny hole I ordered a new one but since I didn’t break any clips I decided to keep the new one as a spare and re use the old one putting a new tie wrap in it.
All buttoned up... When it was stripped down I thought a good idea would be to put some motorbike chain lube in the bearing to keep a smooth action.

Good stuff, glad to see the 182_steve PMS mod is starting to take off :smile:
Just kidding, as I said I think i'll put my sound deadening back in too when I get the car back, thought about it, but never did........... also, man points for buying that rubber band ball, plenty of spares!

So found out my mot had run out on the 6th, so this morning was spent frantically ringing round garages trying to get it in.
Luckily I have a mate who works at a Renault main dealer who got me in and it just so happens @182_steve car is in there also getting his gearbox done.
The tester said Renault sports are like buses...
None for ages then two come along at once.
Mine was given a clean bill of health, Steve’s on the other hand is a work in progress.

It does appear to work, only giving the odd rattle under hard acceleration. It was very good an it even has the emissions as good as a 1.0 corsa :wink:
I like it :smile:
You are a hero Steve lol [emoji123] loving that

I mainly use Mitchell’s Renault in Great Yarmouth after hours where as @182_steve mainly uses Mitchell’s Renault in Lowestoft.
I have two medium size bands twisted to make 4 wraps...

Cheers. I'll try adding another band. I'm on track next week and would love for it to be quieter!
I've only got one band on mine, but it's a thicker 'Royal Mail' type twisted over - it still rattles a bit under harder acceleration but general pottering about and on idle, mine doesn't rattle at all so far
Not really an update but...
I took the super cheap cup Turini’s out today to get rid of the ditch finder t1rs that are currently fitted.
2 were knackered anyways so I have swapped the new rainsport3s I had on the 172s on to them and saved 2 of the t1rs for the 172s.
The Turinis were fittted with 205/45 but the rainsports are 195/45 so hopefully there will be no scrubbing issues with the 10mm stub axel spacers.
I have also managed to source a good condition MR battery cover locally for less than half delivered rrp which I’m pretty chuffed about. I’ll be picking that up tomorrow so will try it on over the weekend.
OZ F1s are still kicking about which I’m surprised about so they may end up going on fleabay.

Love the photo shoot pics above.
Cheers buddy, it’s hard to know what looks a good back drop imo and not not looking like a complete tool taking pics in said backdrops haha
I might put them on this week coming just for the bantz haha
Do it, afterall, it would be rude not to try them out!!
What you doing with it??
182

Looking at a s line audi later.so different type of car completely to the Clio.

Picked up my battery cover this morning and set about fitting it this afternoon... I thought this would be a 5min job but how wrong could I be.
Before...
During...
Finished...
Where the 2nd lower bolt goes the head rounded out after being over tightened, I assume by ED after the conversion. I tried various torx, Allen keys, hammering the head in, mole grips, mini pipe wrench and various pliers.
In the end after loosing my rag the drill came out and the head came off.
To be honest I’m not convinced by the new cover, I think I prefer my receipt list one and being able to see the filter but after the chore in putting it on it’ll be on for a little while.
Possibly fitting the orange Turinis this weekend also too but watch this space.

That sounds like a right mission!!! But you didn't let it defeat you bud, nicely done!
I've never been a huge fan of these but to be honest, I think that looks ok! If you were keeping it long term, you need to loose the big Pure Motorsport sticker but if the receipt list might go back on, keep it. IMO! Oh and for the price paid, worth trying all day long :up:

So this happened today...
Got the tango rims out from storage after swapping tyres the other day, I thought it be rude not to try them on.
For a second I thought I was a dubber so left my torque wrench on...
cos that’s what the kidz do init!?!?
Running 195/45 uniroyal all round, rear 10mm stub spacers and 16mm hubcentric up front.
Took her out for a little blast and safe to say no scrubbing on the rear but it is on the front. Further investigation found to to be the tire rubbing on the arch liner where the bumper/headlight bolt is so that’s no drama but may look into 10mm pms spacers if it annoys me.
Give her a quick wash after testing, not sure what to do with them as yet colour wise.

I've always been a fan of bright coloured turinis!
