I bought this in 2016 for £550 running and driving with an MOT on 114,500 miles. After 8 years of ownership I’ve only done 3000 miles in it and pumped thousands of pounds into it 😂 It’s now just a full time track car:

Some pace on this build now [emoji102][emoji276] Looking good mate!

Looks good David. We made some wee stands to sit the car on which gives you plenty space to slide under and adjust the track rods with the car still weighted and strings setup. What are you using to measure camber? I need to get me a camber gauge!

I ordered this one: https://www.engine-dynamics.com/Products/Product.asp?departmentid=95&id=104787 1.30mm thick

What are the dates on V1 and V2 designs? I purchased a kit in November 2020. Assuming these would be V2 and no need to upgrade the pins to the new design? Ta

It actually felt pretty good certainly wasn’t struggling with turn in or mid corner grip but I probably wasn’t going quick enough for setup to be an issue! Lol Want to get a few more track days under my belt to get used to the car and driving it quickly! Could be tempted in the future though...

Been a while since the last update but the cars had a few more bits and pieces done to it. I bought a PRO-AM racing roll centre kit on a black Friday deal which I just fitted last week. Nice bit of kit and looks to be nicely machined and everything fitted together well. Took the opportunity to...

Me and Heez both used to own this! Can confirm that it is a good wee motor and wasn’t abused or driven hard by either of us! Was just a road car when we had it!

Seen this on Facebook the other day... grinding isnt for everyone [emoji23]

Not really much to report. Progress has slowed now that I’m back to work. Managed to get the foot plate painted, just need to get it bolted into the car and then apply some grip tape in the correct location. Also got the roll cage in with a little help from the feline friend! Also got the...

Tapped it into the block. There is a small flat area just above the sump which is big enough to tap, thread and fit barb. You can see it in this photo:

I bought the pre-made engine dynamics oil feed pipe for convenience and then made my own drain with just 2 threaded barbs, a length of hose and 2 clamps. The drain was less than £15 to do. I’m sure you get a Cliosport.net discount on the engine dynamics page if you setup a registered account...

Changed my broken gearbox mount which has sorted my exhaust knock that I’ve had for ages. Mount must have been broken for months [emoji51] whoops! Glad it’s sorted now though!

The hardest thing I found was making sure that everything fitted together correctly and that I was getting the right sized threads/fittings for stuff etc. A bit of research and searching and you’ll be sound [emoji1417]

I’ve had 2 turbo Clios. The first one was a ClioTurbo build (before they went totally to s**t) on a T28 Chinese turbo. Never had any problems with it and is still in use having done 2 seasons of SLS at knockhill. It made 232BHP when mapped by Chris at EFI. My new build I decided to go with a...
