The Geartronics cut be triggered either by a digital switch or by a load cell. It's much better then the standard system that was used on the original cars, plus its inexpensive.

Some of the new bits needed for the re-build; new shells, bolts etc. Main bearing shells going in. The balanced crank in, with main caps torqued up and reinforcement plate attached. These are the Cosworth pistons and rods that will be being put in. Just need new rings...

We have any entry for the Abingdon CAR-nival stages on the 13th-14th June, so really need to get the car sorted before then! We have the remains of a few Sodemo engines kicking around, originally from a Continental Megane touring car so are going to rebuild the engine using some of those bits...

Got a couple of spare blocks off ebay, plus a crank and sump. Pic of some of our spares Lapped 2 new valves in, got to put it all back together now and see if they seal ok.

Be warned that you are transfering the heat to other parts of the exhaust, used to burn my hand on the floor after wrapping mine

So no lack of choice then :) Found somewhere called called Allyfab in Chesterfield, somewhere close like this (Nottingham ish) would be prefered! Either this or is anyone could get a bag tank for a works spec Alpine 110 :)

Anyone know of anywhere that could fab up an alloy fuel tank or similar?

Got some spare bits off ebay and think we can make up the rest of what we need. Need to make a list of what is going back in it with some pics

I believe so, the cap is broken in 2 along with the bolts

It joins the growing collection of dead engine parts on my desk at work :)

*sigh*

Probably oil surge caused bearing seizure; broke the rod, chewed the piston and liner up, put a hole low down in the block and bent a couple of valves. We have got most of the bits kicking around to rebuild something decent along the lines of a F7R so going to stick with that for simplicity...

Anyone got a spare engine :(

There's currently 4 Clios and a Megane on the entry list; any of the other clios anyone off here? http://www.disis.qmc.org.uk/1.html

Our Sadev boxes have always gone back to Steve Wardby, expensive but hopefully mine will wear less now if the flat shift is sorted
