    Lewis's RB Clio 197

    Forgot to add these photos of when I did the AC delete too. Clean sump with fresh gasket on Also couldn't believe how clean my oil pick-up was. For a 97000 mile car. I was expecting it to be discoloured from oil and heat etc. Almost looked brand new Had only done 1200 miles or so since...

    Lewis's RB Clio 197

    Yeah to be honest I question it too! I knew my exhaust was 60mm (the oreca is 60 where most aftermarket are 63.5) But a friend of mine reassured me it was the 2.5" one I needed. I still might try the 2.25 one day just to see if it's any better but this 2.5" one fits pretty snugly. Clamps it...

    Lewis's RB Clio 197

    Cheers dude :) Was a 2.5" one. https://www.turborebuild.co.uk/webshop/prod_5629255-Turbocharger-V-Band-Clamp-Common-Stainless.html This is the one I bought. Roughly the same price as OEM but it's actually reusable. Obviously sometimes the OEM one can be reused but it's a pain to get off...

    Lewis's RB Clio 197

    Forgot to update this I decided to stick with the 172 pulley so I basically grinded down the guard a little and threw a quick bit of gloss black on the guard and put it on straight away and pushed it down as hard as I could and there was no paint transfer to the belt so I assumed it wasn't...

    Top Mounts - OEM and alternatives

    OEM top mounts are made by TRW mate. Though I'm not sure whereabouts you can get them cheaper as I've never really looked! Sent from my ONEPLUS A5010 using Tapatalk

    Lewis's RB Clio 197

    Typical thing to happen to me Crank pulley looks like the rubber in it might've gone and wobbles a fair bit. Looked okay visually though but yeah. Is what it is. Something also smelt rubbery and I immediately thought the worst and shut the car off incase the cambelt was rubbing on the guard...

    Lewis's RB Clio 197

    Update: Turns out my passenger top mount is pretty much destroyed. Less than a year old, roughly 4000 miles on it. (OEM one) Rather than buying OEM new, I've decided to buy some PMS ones. Initial thoughts, is that the quality is 10x better than the compbrakes I had previously. Yet to fit them...

    Subframe stiffener bolts/nuts

    I've had this before. Mine is actually only held on with two, because by the time I came to take it off there was only two on there anyway! One went missing into the subframe somewhere and then I just replaced it with my own bolt Absolute nightmare to undo though, have to have a spanner over...

    Yeah it seemed promising. If they can take a beating round the ring with their curbs etc, they'll stand up to a beating on UK roads. My thoughts atleast. Going to seal them up before they go on because I hate cleaning wheels and I want to look after these. Thinking about the carbon collective...

    Lewis's RB Clio 197

    Yesterday marked two years of ownership for the Clio. Not much has changed looks wise (massively anyway) but the car is basically rebuilt underneath & lots of money has been spent [emoji23] Today my new wheels turned up too! These will look epic on the car and I can't wait to get them...

    When you guys say hex sockets, do you mean a 6 point? Rather than a 12 point? Sent from my ONEPLUS A5010 using Tapatalk
