This is definitely the direction I want my car to go in, although it's taking a while...

More carpark photos, because they are awesome...

Now hoping to tag along to this, basically to oggle Cub. 's flamer.

Re: 'Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc' Wow, looks great. Tempted to make the trek to Maidenhead to have a nose on Tuesday...

If I knew how, I'd subscribe to this thread. Looking forward to the boost!

Re: 'Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc' I've not seen the last few updates, this is some awesome work!

It's for the best. Mine is the same, and it's great fun. Although mine is dull as dishwater Iceberg, Love a LY!

Stuff for sale!

Trip to Ikea today, makes me think a proper van conversion would be a laugh. Also makes me think now the back is stripped, the Cooksport springs are too high... aaaannd now I want some coilovers.

Thankfully not, haha, that's my atrocious phone at work. Previous owner had them in a Golf GTi mk2, so they are grey exteriors and have the 'ultraviolet' material on the padding.

Quite an update today, some of the biggest changes to the car yet! Also some of the worst photos but my phone is dying a death... So, I set about planning for the installation of the Recaros and I spent a long time deciding what kind of subframes etc to use, but that will come later... Before...

Weather looks moody but I'll probably bring the camera along for this. Been looking forward to this.

Re: 'Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc' Sounds good, it's going to be a few weeks before I have the bits, but I'll be in touch for sure.

Re: 'Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc' Cub. Who did your powder coating? Last place I used in Reading, I asked for Gloss Black and got some dull grey and with horrible orange peel... I'm going to get my side mounts powder coated for the Recaros and looking for something similar to yours bits...

Another vote for P Zero Neros. Have had them for a couple of months and can't fault them at all. Although going from the bald super skids I had before the tread movement suprised me at first but I'd buy them again.

I've sent a message over to a couple of seat vendors for their thoughts. Cobra have these so I might take a punt... http://www.sportseats4u.co.uk/brand/cobra-seats/cobra-car-specific-fitting-frames/cobra-seats-renault-clio-mk2/facelift-lowered-direct-fit-subframes/prod_1318.html

Bit of a bump, but also considering these mounts. Fletcher did you ever get an answer?

This sounds all too familiar scott.p mine is in the same situation. I have almost a whole new front end to be fitted but don't want to do that until the leak (where ever it's coming from) is done so it doesn't knacker the new bushes... Will be on the phone to these guys in the coming months, no...

They are side mount seats, so as long as the side mounts you use are adjustable then yes. But not while moving, no.

Lots. They also came with Recaro side mounts and some Schroth 3 point harnesses which look unused, so that's a plus. They are Recaro Pole Positions, which have been reupholstered in a dark grey canvas exterior and with 'Ultraviolet' cloth center, which is the pattern VW used on mk2 Golf GTI...

I'm fitting the studs today, just waiting for the studs to set and I'll post some pics and whatnot tomorrow. Also super excited because I bought these...

Any longer than 1 week in advance and it's not worth planning for in my world.

I'm reasonably local so put me down as a maybe.

Fairly sure I saw you turning up towards the Chineham Arms as I was leaving the Business Park in Chineham this evening. Couldn't see much but I noticed yellow fogs!

Deposit sent. Really looking forward to this, just need my decat installed before then. Anyone fancy helping out one weekend, I'm 20 mins from SRR?

I'm using Greenlight on a set mileage, agreed value policy, so the underwriters have asked for pictures as above for the valuation.

If you're lucky, the heat shield will come off easily, in which case it's an hours job tops. Mine did not so it was a couple of hours while I messed around trying to get them off. On the 172 at least, it's much easier if you drop the exhaust and swing the cat out of the way. It does make me...

Gave the car a winter clean, pics aren't great, they are primarily for insurance purposes. And then a bit of a teaser, because these aren't installed yet and I'm waiting on a few more bits to come through... Looks good mocked up! Still need to get the oil leak sorted, but in the...

That is a sight to behold. Well done for keeping a mental project like this going.

That's the one.
