Clio 197 steady progress

And you mate. I didn't even realise it had the extra plates welded in for extra strength. Even better [emoji1303]

Yes mate! Will be bullet proof. I forgot to say earlier one header cracked, as my exhaust centre hanger was broken, so the full weight was pulling the manifold down at donnington! But yea, welded up and strengthened underneath to make it nice and strong .

No not yet. Didn't want to give mine the chance to blow because knowing my luck it'd start blowing just before the mots due. When you hoping to have the megane engine in?

Good day at cadwell on Monday. First time there and definitely my favourite track so far. Had a nice big spin at the the end of the day but no damage so all good.

Also the manifold will be going on tomorrow and I need to sort out a rattle/ buzz that's coming from the heat shield at the back I think, it's killing me.

Where was it coming from if you don't mind me asking?

 

[Jminkley]

The rubber sliders were worn down to the metal. Bought some of them off eBay for like £3 and it sorted it

So bad news. The toyosport exhaust I took a gamble on has failed. The baffles in one of the silencers has started to rattle. I have spoken to toyosport and they are sending me a new system out that should hopefully be here tomorrow.

Can't ask for more than that to be fair and a swap-over isnt a huge issue.

Did you buy direct in the first instance ?
