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

Got to redo some of the exhaust as theres a split down the length of the center box, plus it needs to be a bit quieter. Also got some Ferodo DS3000 pads to put on it which should hopefully sort the brakes.

First event at the weekend, purely as a shakedown as it has done hardly any miles. Finished, and with a list of things to look at. Different brake pads/fluid Fuel guage needs some work Few things came loose Flat shift needs checking Apart from that it seemed really good and...

It wasn't me!

Its not technically a swirl pot though is it? The fuel return from the engine does go into a container that the pump sits in, nicely designed and compact.

They are the discs from the compbrake 4 pot kit right?

well, ill need to get a spare set of discs at some point anyway

Yeah, replacement discs

The windows are from Plastics4Performance. The wheels are just some we have with some road tyres on for testing etc

Have done a few more little jobs; fitted navigators map light, seats properly bolted in, stuff like that. Also got a package with loads of little bits in... A little bit of soldering and stuff... And what do we end up with? A new fuel gauge. Because putting a 58mm...

This is the diagram from the MSA blue book about harness angles, which shows more leeway then a straight 20 degrees below horizontal

Which is safer though, attaching belts to existing standard eyes which arn't in the optimium position but are guaranteed to be strong or attaching them to a plate and eye put in by Mr Bodjit with his gasless MIG welder and cordless drill? I'm fairly sure my harness installation isnt 100% to...

It's all very well, but unless you are building a car from scatch it really isn't simple to comply with all those guidelines. In my opinion unless you are using the car for competition you should stick with the standard seats and belts

Not a clio, but a few years ago going to work in the morning in my Fiat Copupe 20VT.... Had snowed overnight and there was an inch or snow on the road. Going along in a straight line at 30mph on an unrestricted road the back end just came round with no warning. There I was; sliding down my...

Well, my work gets charged out at that rate... I get rather a lot less :)

:hail: My time is charged at £150 / hour or part thereof. Just because a job only takes 10 mins wouldnt stop it from being charged as a complete hour. That standard in most businesses
