I believe he's just put his passenger side wiper on the drivers side wiper stub :smile:

Exactly that lol

Does that actually work?!?

seanconnolly · Apr 9, 2016

Yes mate just put the passanger side wiper onto the middle bolt so it's the drivers side arm and it still sweeps the whole screen, need a slightly smaller wiper to be perfect I think 11" but I've not bothered yet not until I need a wiper but I don't drive my car on the road so it might do your head in if you do

Has absolutely no performance increase or weight saving mind but it looks cool so by my calculations if it looks race car it'll be faster any way

Should be able to cut abit and shave a bit of weight of the linkage and losing one wiper and blade. Every gram helps lol

Feel like I've neglected the car of late! Can't wait to get it cleaned up ready for snett on the 27th!

seanconnolly · Apr 21, 2016

Had my wheels powder coated in Audi nardo grey (shiny primer) I love them I think they look so much better than the pinky colour they were before I appreciate its not every ones cup of tea but there we are

All loaded ready for snett in the morning!

seanconnolly · Apr 30, 2016

Well Snett was a bit of a crap day for me and the clio in the end. Going really well in the morning on my AD08r's and then decided to swap to my td's with the r888's on them and went out done about 5 quickish laps thinking they were up to temp so went harder on the 6th lap or what ever it was, through the bomb hole flat third, into fourth for corum didnt lift on turn in as I hadnt been, went straight on into the grass at a good 80/90mph heading straight for the wall I ripped up the handbrake and managed to turn and miss the tyres no damage to the car other than ripping the front bumper off so no one was hurt luckily 😂 oh and got a good ripping from my friends too lol!
But cable ties helped put the car back together and it was straight back out ( once i bashed the mudd off ) tyres were fine after that so not sure what i done whether it was the tyres not quite hot enough or i just cocked it right up lol

After lunch i stayed on the r888's and took a mate for a spin had a good few laps with a trophy ( not sure if the guy is on here ) and then my gearbox let go so had to roll as far as i could on the grass to keep out of every ones way, another red flag lol!

Not a great day for the car or my driving lol but was still fun and will be back soon once i get another box!

More pics to follow!

seanconnolly · Apr 30, 2016

Video i made showing my clio from various cars ( mates r32 GTR and mrs' focus ST ) as i didnt have the go pro on, not my mrs laughing at me being a field 😂

seanconnolly · May 13, 2016

Right so have'nt had a chance to upload the pics from snett yet so here they are!

seanconnolly · May 13, 2016

Car is currently up on stands awaiting a box transplant lol

But on the up side my lovely hubs came back from @NorthloopCup can't wait to get them fitted and have a go at brands with them. Thanks mate you've been awesome!

barnesautos · May 15, 2016

Yeah cable ties ftw mate if I had bolted it up as it should be I would of broke something lol

seanconnolly · May 15, 2016

Got a bit excited with the hammerite whilst the subframe was down and on the floor today, also painted my new box what I collected this morning and arb and hubs 😂🙈

Just need the bushes to get here got a whole cars worth of powerflex black series bushes and get a clutch tomorrow and it'll be back together ready for a brands evening to try out the hubs! Can't wait!

seanconnolly · May 19, 2016

Should keep me busy over the weekend!

@Josh · May 19, 2016

Not yet mate, once I get the bushes in I'll get it set up and book a trackday see how we get on!

dann2707 · May 20, 2016

Seeing all those black series polybushes makes me so happy. How much was it all if you don't mind me asking? Mines all done bar the rear beam so would be interesting to know how much i've spent over time.

I think a whole car comes in at around 300 ish plus postage mate, well overdue for my car lol

seanconnolly · May 21, 2016

Good couple of hours on the car this afternoon, black series buses on, subframe is ready to go back on.. When taking the broken box out we noticed the top of the sump is leaking so I'll sort that does any one know the the sump has a gasket or is just a sealer of sorts like some cars

smith647 · May 21, 2016

It's a gasket pal.. Mine was leaking and cost me £20 from Renaultpartsdirect.

Thanks guys can I still fit the subframe or would it be easier to do it whilst the subframe is off?

smith647 · May 21, 2016

Can be done with subframe in place but I'd do it while subframes off if you can pal.. When I did mine I dropped the subframe a bit just to make life easier. While your buying a gasket I'd buy a handful of spare bolts too just incase.

Not updated in a while but the car is nearly all back together just waiting on a new stud and nut kit and all fluids then it'll go for a set up and be driving!
Some pictures of what I've been up to ..

So to summarise what I've done to it is - new gear box/clutch/drive shafts.
full powerflex black series bushes every bush on car changed.
changed all the rear beam and subframe captive shite whilst I was at it.
tarted up my whiteline arb with a cost of silver hammerite just whilst it was off and on the floor,
and fitted @NorthloopCup amazing looking roll centre correction hubs seriously can't wait to have a drive with them on!
Thanks for reading

piece of piss mate tbh followed the instructions and was perfect! Can't wait to have a drive of it round brands!

seanconnolly · Jun 6, 2016

Been meaning to fit this into my dash for months finally got round to it, need to run a power lead and fit my smaller battery, I under stand I need a Longacre bulkhead through connector or something, not as simple as poking a wire through a gromit as I first anticipated lol

sonny172cup · Jun 9, 2016

Step drill bit will sort the hole put

I'll have to give it a go!

Disaster tonight as I set about fitting my new stud and nut kit the front were fine but the rear 1 of the studs is just spinning so take it the thread is stuffed... Looks like I'll be ordering new discs Monday! Doh!

Elite developments 90mm stud kit in black hopefully will look nice against the grey ultralaggeras!

Mash. · Jun 11, 2016
