You do get freaky ones from time to time, a mate of mine had a silver 172 Cup with aircon & completely standard it made 184bhp at Surrey Rolling Road, as it was due a belt he then took it to Ktec for cams & a map & it then made 186bhp 🤣

Breathing mods (exhaust etc) along with cams from a 197/200 and a map gets you in that sort of region Can't be 100% sure with the weight figures as mk1's are more my area of knowledge but doors are most certainly worth the effort replacing, on the later Mk1 Clios, a normal door weighs 38kg and...

No, because then I'd have to build another one & I seriously cba to do it all over again 🤣

It was whilst the engine was coming out to do the rear main I was contacted by Beanie offering to sell me his Sadev 6 speed sequential gearbox, so I managed to beg, borrow, steal and do a part ex with my freshly rebuilt Gripper diffed box to get my mitts on the Sadev Took a fair amount of...

I thought I'd updated this a hell of a lot less than 4 years ago 😳 Made a few changes to the car since the last update & tested them all out at Bedford last week............................current power from when it was mapped at EFI Parts in 2017 is 225bhp 171 ft/lb but it needs to go back...

The 150 piece set is £85 atm as well

Because I know him and I've royally taken the pi5s out of him enough times over the years so it's just friendly payback, was after the 4th or 5th time he went past that he'd run out of ideas & just shrugged his shoulders lol! As for the car, based on what happened I'm thinking maybe 4th gear...

Head off Thankfully the mesh filter in the oil pickup did it's job & stopped any piston debris from getting into the rest of the engine & causing any more damage Sump off The only 3 pieces left of what was once a piston & 1 of those big lumps was wedged between the block &...

1st job was to drop all the fluids. My car has a magnetic sump plug & when I undone it I was greeted by quite a lot of water which seemed odd at the time, then came the oil followed by a bit of light being shed upon what damage I'd done Once I'd got the downpipe off, I crawled out from...

Time for a little update. I failed to get my track car ready for a trackday at Castle Combe back in June so ended up taking the ATR. Because 2 of my semi slick tyres were buggered I eneded up taking just 2, fitting them to the front and putting my most worn Potenzas on the back and all I can...

This is due an update Just for the lolz, hovercar y0! Super dooper new & better fitting radiator made by Radtec 8 week delay courtesy of Piper being useless, sending wrong lifters then telling porkies that the correct replacements had been made & sent but head fully rebuilt, 16 new...

182 Cup wishbones are the weapon of choice for the extra castor

172 springs are a direct replacement for Williams springs

The mk2 subframe is also different, 182 cup wishbones also look identical but it's tiny differences that are only noticeable if you take lots of detailed & accurate measurements between them that make up the bigger picture

It's massively less restrictive than the supersprint that used to be on it nevermind the OEM one lol!

That made a tent in my trousers, if that was in front of me I'd be licking it quite a lot tbqfhwy :tongueout:

Here's a better pic of the manifold now it's off the car, 1st time I've actually been able to see it properly lol

She's in the workshop now A couple of pics of the sexy as fcuk manifold and a pic of the ride height with no engine in

Looking back on my short stint of ATR ownership so far, I've done quite a fair bit to it so I thought it'd be worth collating it together How it all started, with a bit of a scabby front end but mechanically good Several months of pretty much hassle free motoring passed with only fitting new...

I wouldn't call it work, the bloody thing has been dumped in the garage & not been touched for 8 months & buying a Honda stopped me from doing anything to it lol!

A short while after the disaster the car was booked in for a full custom exhaust to be made & as the guy doing it had a 6-8 week waiting list to get in we went ahead with it anyway. 1.75 inch primaries into 2 inch secondaries then 2.5 inches all the way to the back After the exhaust...

Suppose having to re-do this will teach me not to use facebook for image hosting

I think I've got a unique problem to try & get around. Background info 1st, this is for when I'm not at home so a wifi based solution isn't what I'm after. I want to use my phone - which has unlimited data - to watch netflix but as I despise watching stuff on a small screen I want to show it on...

I'd like to share this on here so everyone is aware & that Bass & myself will be sorting this out on the day.

It was contaminant free on the freshly painted bits then after a couple of days inside the painters unit it went straight into my mates unit where I spent a few days crawling all over the freshly done bits whilst shouting & swearing, crawling along a floor caked in all sorts of car fluid related...

I'd like a bit of advice regarding new paint & looking after it as my car cleaning/detailing skills/knowledge is limited to blast with snow foam, the wash mitt & 2 buckets method of washing, clay bar follwed up with super resin polish & extra gloss protection :blush: I've just had the front...

Try http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/ they should be able to find what you need

I'd say yes as it's a case of fit & forget and be left with a problem that you'll never have to worry or think about again. As long as you fit a sandwich plate with a thermostat that is

YAAAAYYYY!!! :clap: Now my life is utterly fcuked again as I'm desperate to see the next episode :cry: :banghead:

If the oil gets too hot it basically gets too thin to do it's job properly so could potentially munch the engine. With a cooler and good quality oil you can essentially just forget about it, not have to worry & just keep hammering the car. I did just that on my 1st ever trackday, paranoid as...
