06 nimbus 197 daily track toy

had a busy day with the Clio yesterday sadly it was a bit half cock which isn't like me at all i managed to clean it then stopped there no sealant or window cleaner as the Mrs was on the phone and i got distracted so my boot plastics now off and decided to give my engine mounts a go because i haven't done anything mechanical for a while so i will post pics later but Powerflex engine and gearbox mounts now fitted then engine one was fine just a bit of a faff getting it in and out but i painted it and it looks lodes better and the gearbox mount after taking everything out and using the hammer its now back in and feels fantastic the front end really feels more positive i love it .. also cleaned out my PCV valve that was disgusting.
 
whoop whoop picture time

Can't say I noticed as I also put the engine mounts on and they took precedence as they where just so awesome I do wanna go the 330mm but I think I will next time at the moment I'm going to do the ktec deal of ktec slotted disks and CL rc5+ pads

Studs turned up today however 10 of them are the wrong thread pitch so they are sorting out the proper ones and tomorrow the spacers shims and other studs will be here.

In the very close future I'll be doing a group buy on compbrake 330mm rotors with some discount for members like I've just been running on top mounts. Not sure how much the ktec discs are, but I know they'll work out a fair bit cheaper than the reyland ones, will be testing on my car shortly.

yeah as i already have the axle spacers on the rear im looking forward to seeing what the fronts will be like and the camber on the rear should make it feel a bit more like the old one lol
 
Fronts done today spacers and studs and handles nicely
