Mk1 F4R
I think an update is needed as i have'nt done one for a while and quite abit has been done
Starded off by taking some white spirits to the left over sound deadening. I tell you wot it aint half a messy job lol
I then started on the front and rear footwells i decided to miss out the bit under the seat till a can be bothered to take the seat out
Next job i did was to take out the airbag computer because its not needed as i dont have any airbags. The wires were just tucked into the glove box
Cable tied the centeral locking switch to the bottom of the dash
Got a new cliosport sticker the same colour as the car
old logo
new one
Purchessed some fixed rear windows off f0xy and fitted them the othher day
Started off by drilling the rivets out of the window frames
New window fitted
Done this on both sides and it only took 15 mins

R19 braided brake lines
mill down the hubs 2mm on each side so the williams suspension will fit
tidy some of the items up with a good coat of paint
Started off on the callipers
They were looking tired and on there last legs so i decided to give them a good sand down and a coa of paint
took the carrier off the calliper to sand it down with a wire brush
next i then took off the old brake line off as it was cut and it was the same on both
decided id get some new bleed niples, cost me 70p from the local shop
sprayed them with WD40 and left them for 10 mins, the firs callipers niple came out with no problems but the second was a ball ache it was that tight in it rounded off, so i thought if i put a 7mm on it, it might come off so i bashed it on and it started to turn so i thought great and then snap ooooo sh*t here comes another job that i dont have time for lol :dapprove: also broke the 7mm spanner in the process

The broken spanner
I had to cut the top of the niple off to hit the other end of the 7mm spanner on and then it broke the niple in half dammmmmn
Ill have to fix that another day
Got the 172 wishbones out brushed them over and gave them a coat of paint
one of the callipers painted as im not doing anything to the other one yet as it need work doing to it
it was time to unpack the williams anti roll bar
It needed a brush down and some paint as it wasnt looking as new as it once did
Painted and looking good

consider trying a blowtorch on the caliper, heat the whole thing up, then use something direct to cool the nipple (tee he), spray duster (CO2) or plumbers freeze spray would do it, or a water pistol or something. You might just be able to turn it with a flathead if you could get a grove in it.
could save you a few pennies.
edit: having said all that I think brake fluid is flammable and you want to be careful with the rubber seal.
Best of luck!

adam was trying to get away from me on the lancs and was failing lol...
i was following him then is i pulled into the other lane to go in for the kill then all of a sudden sparks everywhere lol
the down pipe seperated from the manifold itself and one of the bolts fell out and is now lost
Mk1 F4R
Well the same has happend again tonight
luckley was turning into my road when it came off this time got to get it sorted out tommorow, think it was coz lack of one bolt and the solid dogbone mount
Hopefully all will be sorted for the rolling road day at RS tuning on saturday

Sorted the manifold tonight and topped up the gear box oil and power steering fluids, The car feels so much better now no blowing or power steering whining and the gears feel a little better to get in to gear now
JDM Dc2
lol i wont say anything as i know adam moans when i reply for him lol
LOL
haha, was wondering what was going on, thought you were trying to jack it up on a jack that needs your entire weight tbh
Compression was down on 2cyl before the day began, lol. It would not hold idle on cold start for around 30 secs...then would struggle too. Used to smoke like anything (had a fresh cyl head on it), lol.
Think it ran low on oil, temp shot up and there it went....good riddance I guess lol.
Mk1 F4R
Thanks for those wounderful pics jord
Anyway here are a few pics of the car on the renault sport day 17 november 09 oulton park
When it was all going well, was a really good day and met some new faces
My dad with his lean on
Jams x trying to catch up
Lots of smoke
Down hill from here on, this is when the downpipe fell off on the sighting lap crap design if you ask me
On the sighting lap the downpipe fell off from the manifold not a good start, took 20 mins to fix and then out onto the track, good first session. I then let my dad have a go who has neve been out on track before :S, i have my seat pritty far back and because my dad is smaller than me couldnt quite reach the pedals so he cept snatching at the clutch (not good for the gear box mount as it was loos anyway as some of the threads had come out of the box). He spun it once, it was pritty wet to be fair and that is when the mount came off completely and the engine was then sat on the subframe nothing i could do so it stayed like that for the track day.
Also one of the centre section bolts came out, that was then fixed
had to move the drivers seat coz my dad is shorter than me lol
Then at about 3 it was game over bottom end went
I think its time for the F4R conversion
Bring on the hard work
