I remember putting in 4 litres of motul gear competition into my r5gt, and when the 4th emptied i thought to myself this should only take 3 and a bit. To find I forgot to tighten up the inner CV cover.... Very silly and very expensive waste, we all make em
Spark test it, are you getting a spark? Just pop the leads off and stick an old plug in you must have one somewhere If you have a spark then it has to be fuel, unplug the injectors and razz some easy start or brake cleaner in the inlet and see if it picks up on 4 when you do.
I did remember a mouse has chewed my thermostat housing bung a little. Haven't noticed anything else but i'll check the wiring to make sure there's nothing wrong.
It's strange as it was all ok running wise when I parked it. Just had the noisy tappets??
Will do a compression test, and see if I can check for spark then look at continuity to the upc from the coils.
I did buy new connectors for the coils which I haven't fitted yet.
Chris at Beaniesport sorted the issues ended up having a full top end rebuild with valves re cut and new guides fitted.
However not long after this the clutch plate decided to loose its teeth!!
So I got a new CG motorsport plate made which is sprung and has stopped the chatter in the box.
But recently been having issues getting it up to temperature.
So checked it to find the clio thermostat was not closing. Quick flush of the system new stat fitted and cleaned out the header tank whilst I was at it and it gets up to temp nicely now, even feels better.
Have a slight leak from the turbo return which is my next job to do...
Just browsing back through this thread, and i have to say this looks fucking fantastic! If it had a sprint spoiler on it it would be perfect and I don't normally like the 197

I did originally have the sprint spoiler, but thought being a Cup it should have the Cup spoiler, if the Carbon one didn't come up I probably would still have the sprint on there..
So bought a brand new turbo as this one smokes when you first drive it, not start it? Going to check the oil return too as that’s leaking since it went to Beaniesport.
Also picked up a set of these, now it’s Lowered on the kw’s it rubs a bit when we’re all in it.. the Superleggera’s are being donated to the 5.
