Been over a year since this was updated so thought I would post something while I'm bored... I guess buying & renovating a house puts a damper on playing with cars, but we've still been tinkering away in the background! The Clio's biggest weakness has always been the dairy milk standard...

Nice one mate. Don't blame you for not competing either, may aswell enjoy the holiday though haha. Ah that's no good, bet Covids not helped that too!

Tank cover is all now complete and back together - happy with how it's turned out and is much more functional than the previous one we made. New Bilstein Group N suspension is finally on all round and everythings bolted up again good to go. New top mount bearings pressed in and re-fitted as...

Not a lot in particular! Fancied doing something different as don't mind 'faffing', at the end of the day this is much more secure and fairly confident this weighs less than the plastic tank with a proper guard so COG isn't really going to come into play here in the grand scheme of things. It's...

Other stuff in the pipework for upgrades is the suspension which will be up for sale in the near future if anyones interested. To swap out the Gaz Golds we've decided on going for some proper rally suspension in the form of the Clio Group N Bilstein setup. The Bilsteins I'm hoping will be much...

Not updated this for ages as usual for some reason! We've been using the time spent in lockdown with no events on to do some upgrades to the car. First one was we never really were a massive fan of the fuel tank firewall, due to the pain in the arse it was always to remove and not really being...

Sent you another message about it mate, guessing you accidentally missed the first one as never received a reply from last time?

Thankyou! It's not no, still in two minds to sell all the bits or eventually build a second 'proper' engine up slowly out of the car to replace the current one.

So much to our amazement everything at EFI went to plan yesterday and looks like we've got a strong engine! The car made 191Bhp/165Lb-ft which I'm chuffed with for an engine that's only had AT Power ITB's, Group N timing & 225 Injectors - with no port work etc. Chris said the cams & 172...

Interior of the car has been freshened up with a few patches of paint here and there and is looking good as new again after much trampling in and out of messing with wires. Messy extinguisher pipes are only temporary as they will be removed and replaced neatly with a brand new kit from SPA...

Pretty much finished up the wiring jobs yesterday at the car. Managed to finish the second loom thanks to the lockdown and surprisingly everything on that one works too! Very impressed with my planning of everything , did final tests of everything yesterday and everything seems to work...

Just had a look back through my purchases on eBay and it's a Golf III VR6 Direnza alloy one

Perfect that was gonna be my next question haha, look forward to seeing those thankyou very much!

Awesome work so far, very jealous of the engine spec was speaking to Tom the other day about it. Is that external machining of the block the only 'modification' required to fit the dry sump setup then, or is there more internal work needed like blocking off galleries etc? Reading this has made...

Yeah already had a few people asking for various bits, steering wheel panels, EFI looms etc. Definitely got 2 to make that are in the pipeline... busy busy!
