More shots after another clean today..

I just Wish somebody told me about the swearls in the vinyl need to find away to get them out..

 

[Cliosport-carl]

well works now closed for a few weeks so lets get back on here and update this thread and do some bits..

 

[Cliosport-carl]

Went and stripped some bits down the other day and found the lower swivel joint to he knocking a little so have one on order also give the car a quick clean so over the next few weeks will be changing that over..

 

[Cliosport-carl]

Also got some motoul 600 on the way.. I've been using cheap brake fluid for ages and decided to get this changed over..

Just spent a bulk of my day on and off reading your whole thread. Great build, well done mate.

Was thinking of the port matched inlets myself and the 64mm TB. Well worth the outlay?

thanks for that and I think getting the whole lot done is definitely worth doing it just screams when you get up the rev range

Just spent the last few hours going over your progress, I do recall several posts but was nice to see it again, you have one of the most progressive card on here and your love for the French machine is very evident! I hope one day my ride gets as much love as your car, anyways, stay safe and keep on Clio’ing!

How much brake fluid do we need for a full system change?

Dont quite know I've got a 1ltr and have half at a pals house but will be doing it probably next week..

 

[Cliosport-carl]

Busy day yesterday started doing my swivel joints.. lower one was fucked and I didn't really know apart from the slight movement when leavening it with a bar







And sadly the top was fucked I think this was my fault but I owing where I got it from possibly wasnt me..



And as per normal the bottom bolt snapped so after an all night drilling session I've now got it out and put a nut and bolt through it..

 

[Cliosport-carl]

And because the car is mostly stripped down I've also just bought a steering rack as mine has had a knock since I got it.

 

[Cliosport-carl]

Well what a pain that was..

Just waiting for the top to come and can finish it but had to grind around it to give me enough purchase to press it out..

 

[Cliosport-carl]

Well deeper and deeper I go I noticed a wet patch under the car which I thought was just water and I've noticed it hasn't gone away...





So after a few moments.







And will have a alloy toyosport one turning up next week..

 

[Cliosport-carl]

Hubs now all back together





and because I've had some time I've also got a twingo washer bottle



And hopefully the rad will be here tomorrow and I can start getting the whole lot back together..

Hubs look good mate, fair play.

What's the reasoning for the twingo washer bottle?

Its smaller and allows the brake duct better flow.

So rad is back in now just need the rack and I can get it back on the road..

 

[Cliosport-carl]

Things are getting serious now..

No just a stock one to get rid of the knocking.
