Love H&R with 197 spec Cup shocks on mine, so much confidence on the roads I actually drive the car on. Considered changing to coilover's but big jump in maintenance, complexity and cost when I'm already happy with what I have.

Split the TD04 tonight. TD04 is dead. Any 250 Turbos for sale

Yet more factual proof that Yaris Verso's are gods own motor. Back to the HQ/shed by 1:30am after setting out after work on Wednesday, the nan bus took the extra weight in its stride. I didn't even need to take the lowering springs off Thursday night involved stripping the engine and box...

If you're northern I'd highly recommend the Hull Rotterdam overnight ferry. Let the boat do the work then head across Holland and down into Germany, you'll be there by midday. Feels like you're about 2 hours from home by the time you get there.

Gave the nan bus a good mop and put my old wheels on. Megane setup is getting picked up tomorrow evening. I was going to rent a van but for the near 200 quid I'm getting charged as I'm under 25 I've decided I'll put the factory springs back in the Verso tonight. Still want a supercharger...

Looking good! Stealing that Hydrate80 idea for my Meg lump when I get my hands on it.

Birchdown in Malpas are a good shout, know a few friends with RS cars that have had work done by them multiple times.

I've lowered it using some old Tein springs I had lying around off my Yaris T-Sport and it actually goes half well for a high sided boat with budget 175/65's. I have a Whiteline rear anti roll bar and a set of 15's with PS3's on knocking round that would turn it into a properly quick wheelchair...

Slow progress on the Clio... Mates Evo had some fuel pump issues so we escalated and decided that stripping the entire back end out and restoring the underbody metal was a logical step to take And 3 hours later In the meantime I've finished stripping the Clio, engine looms out, subframes...

I remember there being a Green tab that needed pinching, It was way easier with the inlet manifold top half removed.

Engines probs the easiest I've ever taken out of a car tbh. I worked from the outside in starting at the rad and finishing down at the exhaust manifold. Gearbox mount can be a bit of a pain to remove, only thing I struggled with.

Cheers all, getting excited now. Slight delay on getting hold of the engine now unfortunately, more time to get friendly with the metal finishers down the road though...

Run a rally IG account by any chance? I recognise the pics of your old one.

Backstory: Long time lurker finally doing something worth posting about. Bought this car on New Years day 2021, fell in love instantly despite a slight crunch on 3rd and 4th, which I factored into the cost of purchasing the car in the first place. Slave had gone, clutch was low and 3rd and...

Quick update. Box failed earlier than planned and left me stranded in Friday rush hour :censored: I then decided to do the only sensible thing I could think of and bought an R26 conversion.

I had in my head that these were out of stock, I think I remember reading something on a Facebook thread at some point. Pure do them though so might drop them an email and see what they can do

Had a box rebuilt in 2021. 11 months later clutch slave started being iffy and dragging the clutch at high RPM. Rode it out through winter and looking to drop the box and fit a new clutch & slave, LSD, and refresh the synchro's that I have absolutely 0 faith in being in good nick. Queue "Global...

Sound proofing worth doing? Had it in a few cars in the past and can't say its made any difference but if it knocks some drone out then I might have another go.

Hoping the RP1's are a nice middle ground. I have Blue Stuff NDX at the moment and they give me zero faith I'll stop in time. I'd run RPX again but they are a bit silly for a car used mainly on the road.

RPX is harsh on disks and wheel finishes, as I sadly found out with my 2 month old Autecs... But the performance is insane, for the money the performance is absolutely bonkers. Will be trying RP1 myself later this week.
