My K4M shed

[G3 NYX]

So, thought it was about time I posted a project thread, I've owner her since March 2011, bought for £3600 with 32k on the clock (Mark 2 Phase 2 1.6 16v Extreme 2005 in Ottoman Blue)

I used to own this:

She was too slow, so bring on the 1.6!

Rarr! So I didn't mod for ages, then in usual Renault style!

Thermostat temperature sensor or something had been blown out, and needed a new Clio pack!

So first two mods are RS grill and Renault badge sprayed black:

And a custom plate! (thanks mum!)

Carbon dash from streamline carbon:

Then built my own custom induction set-up, got a green panel filter and stuck a bit of ducting on! Induction roar ftw!

Some pics with my friends 200 (not on here)

Now onto the breaks!
Ordered some DS2500 pads, Brembo front discs, Brembo rear pads, Goodridge stainless steel braided brake lines in orange and TuV and ATE Super Racing Blue break fluid (thanks sideways_danny for recommending!)

Bugger...

Continued the orange fetish:

Built a false floor, with some nice carpet:

and I have some oversized speakers in the front thanks to MT_audio.

Its in for all the best changes and general service next week!


All set for the Nurburgring for this year! (5 weeks!)

Future plans:

Lows
oz wrc superturismo's in white
Ktec super sports with decat maybe?
Stripped out interior, buckets etc.
Samco silicone hoses
Remap
Spacers!

Rubber glove? You do know you want to keep the nipple submerged during bleeding to stop any air being drawn back in yes? You'll have air in the brake circuit bleeding like that for sure.

The best I could come up with, the brake pedal is firm and the car stops very quickly, so I don't think I got any air in there. I admit that could of been better haha!

 

[LIL B]

Where is your air filter?

 

[G3 NYX]

Where is your air filter?

I never took pics of the green filter, but on the k4m its at the back of the engine, where the ducting attaches to, the part I removed was only a sound resonator.

 

[Addicted]

expensive brakes for what is essentially a 1.6, do you plan to do any track days?
look good though, like what you've done on the front grille!

not often, every 4 years really, but i'd be doing it again as you will definitely have air in the system

 

[Kieran..]

[G3 NYX]

I did email you asking you to do it but you didn't want to
The brakes seem fine atm, but I'll bleed them again before I hit the ring in September

whats up next then?

Nothing for a while, I'm broke, too many holidays!

I plan to do a few track days, going to the Nurburgring in September. Eventually I want to S1600 this.

[GeorgeH]

Nice man, love that false floor.

 

[G3 NYX]

Nice man, love that false floor.

Thanks!

 

[Beef-Mc]

Where did you get the braided lines from?

 

[G3 NYX]

Where did you get the braided lines from?

I got them new off the Goodridge website.

 

[Beef-Mc]

Mmm must be a new thing they are doing, couldnt see them when I last looked! Cheers.

Expensive? Standard discs and DS2500's are hardly bank breakers. Lines are just a good idea on any car. (Pointless in orange, i hope that wasn't extra)

Nice work, floor looks very neat.

However its not all good news, that towing strap is horrendous. And i don't understand the orange badges, why not continue the carbon theme of the inside to those?

Yes the orange was an optional extra, was £1.50 so I thought, might as well!
As for the tow strap, lol I agree, I've tucked it in and put the plastic bar back across to neaten it up a little.

I would carbon the badges, but I'm broke, and I don't like wraps very much.

 

[sideways danny]

I did email you asking you to do it but you didn't want to

I didn't want to fit parts I didn't supply

 

[Knuckles]

How did you fit that induction set up!?!? That's where I wanted mine but I couldn't get it past the altenator and radiator!

 

[G3 NYX]

I didn't want to fit parts I didn't supply

Should have told me you supplied them before I went a bought them then!

It's a bugger, but it fits, if you come to a meet you can have a peek at it to see how it's fitted.

 

[Knuckles]

Didn't realise you were local! Pm me if you ever get the urge for one

 

[G3 NYX]

Oh haha, I'm not local, I'm from Kent!

Naah, I've had a lot of trouble with my car over the past couple of months so I've been trying to get it to a show acceptable standard lol

 

[G3 NYX]

Depends if you want to go in the boot or not.
