Thanks chaps. Yeah just get stuck in, learnt so much with these cars from just having a bash:smile: The conversion probably wont be happening for another month or so, I've had surgery recently and I'm meant to be sat on the sofa for 6 weeks, not lifting engines:grimacing: But it gives me chance...

Well, took the plunge and went to fetch this yesterday. Megane 225 engine and box on 60k and most of the bits I need for the conversion. Just need to get all the other little bits like decat, powerflex mounts etc. Then planning on doing the wiring and ecu myself to keep costs down :grimacing:

Thanks for the kind words Pav:smile: yeah I think I will do a few track days now, although my brother bought the black one to use on the track so might just use that. Keep mine nice then:tonguewink:

Right, been lurking about on here for about 2 years now so thought I'd better start a thread! I've done a fair bit to the car recently so I'll try list it all in order, took photos at the time but never got round to writing a build thread. I bought an Albi Blue 197 in March 2015, fairly standard...

Oh yeah good shout about the reg.....can't change it now ffs haha. Yeah was on fb today, dirt cheap at that price with that spec so we just jumped on it. Hopefully it's a decent car.. Just to clarify the reg is WP56CZB

Me and my brother just bought this off the facebook group, any previous owners on here? It's had quite a bit done, KWs, remap, team dynamics etc

Got an annoying faint thudding noise coming from the front left of the car. Only really audible at low speeds over pot holes etc. Not to be confused with the more common suspension knock at low speeds (the car also has this but given up with that pursuit). Anyone any ideas? Lots of suspension...

Thanks :grinning: West Yorkshire at its best that! Well, it started out with just the lower ball joints as it failed on the MOT. But as it was all in bits I thought it'd be a good time to upgrade while I was there, so in the end its had: x2 lower ball joints, Spax coilovers, Drop links, Anti...

Recently spent a bit of spare time tidying up my little clio, so took a few pics out this afternoon...

You reckon? My bro is big into BMWs, we did a race to see who could get the top nut off a front shock. His took 30 seconds, the clio's took about 30 minutes! Having said that the plastic trims are a hell of a lot easier in the renault, just look at them and they fall off:tearsofjoy:

Bloody hell mate....classic renault ownership then!:laughing::laughing: After working on mine I think if you can fix a renault you can fix owt..

Yeah I think you're right mate I'm just gonna order the Philips and see how I go. Can get a refund for the Nightbreakers so its not too bad. I'm not fussed about chavvy blue light but like you say just a decent white light. Also the HIDs look like a faff and I've just spent about a month with...

Yeh just seen your thread chap. Don't know whether to go for the Phillips then or just get a HID kit off ebay? Never had a HID kit before but they're a similar price to the Philips

Just retro fitted some projector head lights and brand new bulbs all round, after a bit of research the go-to bulbs seemed to be Osram Nightbreakers which looked nice and white. So installed those (H7 and H1) and must say I'm a bit disappointed with them as they ain't white at all!! They look no...

Sweet. Wouldn't know what size thread it is would you? Or where I can get a replacement? Mine are a bit manky and id rather replace em

@link top man! its the bottom diagram i was after, those washers and bearing below the circlip were the ones that went flying all over the floor..... Thanks!

Does anyone have a diagram for the rear piston internals? I set about rebuilding the rear callipers with new seals and pistons, but typically i dropped the piston and all the guts have fallen out so need to know which order to put them back in....:unamused:

Good idea, think a few people have this issue. Just be careful with the contacts bending them back etc, as one of mine has just snapped off...:expressionless:

@trackspec197 just tried it and the horn works! Thanks mate:smile::smile:

Thank you, I'll give it a try. Did that also fix your horn problem too @trackspec197?
