Passenger side nearly finished just the caliper and disk to fit now. Ran a tap down the threads in the hub before I fit some studs I ordered from supreme motorsport. Should make it a lot easier refitting the wheels now. I’m leaving the driver side suspension out atm because I’m hoping to...

Great stuff Lee, I’m using it as a track day and weekend toy.

Yeah I reckon it's the seal that's gone on mine

Aircon pump leaking, looks like it’s from the body itself. I had noticed this was leaking last year so I cleaned it all up before removing the box and the leak is back without the engine even firing. Has anyone take the AC pump apart? I imagine it’s just a o-ring that’s started leaking but...

If you wouldn’t mind mate that would be great

Making some good progress now! Managed to get the subframe fitted today, it would have been easier with another hand from my dad but I managed with a trolley jack either side. Because of the awkward shape it took a few attempts to get the jacks positioned so I could lift the subframe flat but...

Everything went smoothly with the refitting of the gearbox, a helping hand from my dad was welcomed! Hardest part was remembering which bolt hole the studs went in lol Glad I fitted the pilot bearing in the end, by my rough measurements the input shaft would sit in the bearing. The input shaft...

Legend cheers mate

Just a thought while removing the flywheel to fit the new bolts, should this be timed up in a certain way? e.g. engine at TDC and FW in a certain position. I've noticed there is a mag sensor on the gearbox which lines up with the flywheel teeth so assume it will need timing but the crank or FW...

I’ll definitely give it a go this year mate

I’ve done a supercar day there but it only had about 4 corners at the time! Seem to remember it resembling a big concrete airstrip they’ve turned into a circuit. Croft doesn’t have a lot of dates for the year so I think I’ll give it a go, my mate has just bought a fn2 so at least I won’t be on...

Definitely! Tbh that’s the first time I’ve seen that one, cheers Maidens

Decided to cut the rusty legs off my radiator support, the decision was made because of 2 reasons: Excessively high price for a new support I can’t weld! A lot of people buy the standard Clio support and weld the RS radiator bracket on I saw someone had done it on either this forum or Facebook...

Gearbox is back! New 3rd and 4th synchro rings, blackline LSD, new diff bearings and driveshaft seals. Garage said everything else was in good condition which isn’t bad for 101k miles. Thinking of an early trackday maybe March or April to see the difference this lsd makes, does anyone...

Found this in the Clio 3 service manual I got hold of, it does look like it doesn't reach the flywheel. Once I get some free time I'll try to measure it up.

Yeah doesn’t look like it by that, what website did you find that drawing?

Decided to order a spigot bearing and flywheel bolts. Not worth the risk of snapping the bolts like RSRowe and having to drop the box again.

Fair enough mate, I found the same when searching before a couple did but most didn’t

@RSRowe ive just realised you have a spigot bearing in the end of your crank. I’m 99% sure mine didn’t have one when I removed the box so I refitted the flywheel and clutch without one. Is the F4R meant to have one?

Oh no! Now you’ve put the sh*ts up me
