one step forward.... fifty back..?
I was aiming for this too be a moving forward thread, but then i remembered i have a renault.
Anyhoooo at the NW meet on Sunday the window regulator fully failed both sides
passanger down - drivers up... detailed here http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=392935
lots of help was shown by members as always and i drove to sy's (sy16v) on sunday night to get the doorcard off..... in the snow, with a blanket round me...
anyhoo, it just wasn't happening, his dad quickly fabricated me a polycarb window, that was infact a perfect fit!, we tapped it up and i went home to cry. all sunday night with the snow i was worried but nothing seemed to get into the car.
today I drove all of 5 miutes to winstons as he said he was free and i needed my window jamming up... who else to call but the 'king of the rig'.
i pull up and he's tinkering with the 5 on a main road, as you do.
instantly taking a like to my polycarb window, we set about pulling the most awkward doorcard off in the world. i had started on sunday night but gave up... talk about a ballache. I imagine to a renault tech it would be easy but it was stuck fast...!
Winst was looking for more leverage as we had removed pretty much everything we could...
i got annoyed and ripped it off (which in hindsight was all we needed to do)
we wondered whether the car had a new door as there was a ghetto style sticker on the interior. you would never see writing in the UK like below (unless its my dad writing) and obviously the GB gives it away too... so yes we realised it was original and cracked on.
winston disconnected the motor, I dealt with the plug and plays and the whole doorcard eventually came off from the wires and connectors. As the motor in effect turns a wheel i turned the wheel manually whilst winston pulled the window up, it stayed up.
the car door basically looks like this now (minus the white box and thick wiring loom which is hidden)
The problem being now, I actually like it, carbon door skins with some of the parts put back in, maybe with manual winders? keep it stripped and use manual winders? put it back to OEM or electronics all in but with no doorcard.
all depends on what money I can muster and if I do any of the above (bar OEM) it will mean pulling the driverside out too. but this will need to be done as the regulator on the drivers has gone too... god bless renault!
the car has stripped rear interior now, like last summer, and will be in the garage within the next 14 days to have a new boot floor, rear bumper and the exhaust remounted after a Ring&ride hit me whilst stationary. the yellow decals will also be changing.
thanks for reading & cheers to all who offered advice on sorting it.

the R26 has a different rear setup, springs, an LSD unit, drilled disks and 5 ps gain over the 225 (standard)
the meg range is awkward as everything can be interchanged and messed about with from the 225 full fat (which mine originally was) upto the ultra hard R26R. i have parts off the R26, cup, trophy, R26R and one or two clio bits haha
its the LSD (limited slip differential) that makes the difference between them mostly tho, there is little things but for the sake of babbling they are little

The rigging force was the strongest i had seen in any young jedi and i taught you all i knew.... but you turned to the darkside... using your rigging for evil :quiet:
Brick-tek is unbeatable TBH:approve:

now this is a quest i would like to see and indeed participate in.... jord has the power of brick tek utilising his blue eyes as a mighty weapon where as winston propels himself with the force from a million crushed PAS sensors..
wtf (before anyone else says it)

5 points for every piece of ducktape or cable tie
10 for every part fixed with a hammer etc
25 for pieces of wood

Nice. Look better with a CF splitter though.................................
lil update, been working last week or so, which is poo but had a day with her today.
purchased some more oil from opie today, checked engine mounts (i'm going to replace them as she's getting pounded this season) and continued with the weight strip.
the car is awaiting a new rear bumper and zorst reallignment, when thats done the cage will be going in, but until then im stuck about doing anything major (unless warren gives me his CR splitter or some K&Ws just happen to show up.
managed to get about 2KG of weight out just with all the sound deadening, not much but all adds up. ive made alot of inroads in other areas and still 50/50 on whether to remove a/c pump... ive used it twice i think tops!
so today was just about getting the rear ready for a spray, mostly consisted of removing side rear carpet and blooming tar. a few foam coverings with hole in too (just into the chassis)
below shows the main points of removal today (purple dots), surprising how much tar was there in hidden areas, cars not exactly quiet anyway so its all out now
took her out tonight and the sound was bordering on rediculous, me n riad just looked at eachother and grinned like kids, anyone who has a ride soon will do the same i hope
i know the seats need to go asap, they are a pain and doing my nut... but things take time.
these also arrived today, nothing special i know but getting some sparco bits in soon so thought i'd spruce the pedals up as they look... 'used'
fitting tomorrow
