@DrAlex for chiselling you need a sds hammer drill with rotary stop function. I’m not sure why you need one if it’s just plaster board your dealing with? Or is it plastered walls you have? The Makita 18v DH202 LXT with a 5Ah battery will do most things..then DTD152Z impact driver body only (£65)...

I’m liking your oil catch tank. Did you get it made or was off the self ?

Makita 18v brushless hammer drill and a brushless impact driver. Can just buy the body of one and share the battery’s and charger to save some money.

Goddammit! Thought you might be doing a new venture for the groupe buy. ?

That will be me ? You couldn’t have looked to closely as it’s got pink door handles ?

This is my old shell with a harness bar welded in...only pic I could find after I wrote it off:cry:. When I got the seats and harness I thought using the existing seat belt points was a bad idea so I got a roll cage company local to me to do it....it served me well for a few...

Those in the know always come back! Welcome.

Saturday was brand new home for my mine...only an old council garage but at least she’s dry now. I’d have to have half the car outside the garage to work on it...But I’d dry thou. Not to many gaps but just wanted to post to get ideas.

Pictures of said beast!?

Could be rear dampers shot?

Dog bone mount..cheep/easy and could make the gear change sharper. Like others have said..change every front and rear bush for new. Then Thrash it! Save for a diff.

I take it yours is a mk2 Clio? If so you will need lines making up. Mk2 end to 197 the other end on one line. Goodridge made my conversion lines. Only for front... rears is mk2 lines as there’s no need to change the rear caliper. Unless you really want 197 rear calipers...not sure if anyone...

Decent rear pads in the rear does help to scrub off speed on track. I know everyone says they don’t do anything but I’ve had standard pads and decent pads in the rear and they definitely slow the car better. As for what mod for track days..go straight for diff and don’t waste your money on...

Are they inside wheel sensors you have? I’ve been looking at doing a tpms..what make is yours/have you tested it out yet?

I’ve just had the pipe changed as the fluid was leaking/weeping though it. The garage said it seems that the fluid has eaten away the pipe inside out.

Thinking about it. Didn’t powerflex make that type of bush? Or was that for extra camber.

That’s very interesting! I take it they have the off set for the track rod end as well?

Good to see she’s getting built back up(y) Do you run with the heat shield for the starter motor? And have you got much further with your bell and rotor setup?.. I can’t remember what size wheels you run. I’ve been running a bell and rotor setup near on two years now under a 15” wheel and...

I’ll be checking mine in the morning! Thanks for sharing

This is my setup. I’ve tried to find the PDC measurements but for the life of me I can’t find them at the moment. The alloy bell I got from eBay of all places and the rota is a Hi-spec 283mm and Chris’s adaptor brackets with 5mm machined off the caliper, running d.s 1.11 pad. All under 15”...

Good to see some finalising coming along...obviously a long way to go but decent progress with doors etc...starting to look like a car again ?

Put more pics up so we can see the car. Has it got a cup spoiler? Not sure what you mean with the phase 2 bumper?

I’m running the pms exhaust with a mid and back box..also running ITB’s and never set off a dB reader. If that helps.

Oh...this looks very interesting!!!

Pretty sure Nik said it’s for the sake of doing it and it’ll be his road car.

So it took a garage 6 months to do my clio. They aren’t a Clio specialist..and all they did was strip a standard Clio to a shell and then stripped front and rear subframes and engine from my track car on to the new shell...paint a couple of panels..fit a cage..remove sound deadening and paint...

can’t wait for more instalments ??

They always come back!

It will be interesting to know if there is a difference in the rear axel. Looking forward to reading about this new build ?

I’m in the strips camp too...maybe as yours is a ff it won’t be right! If it was a cup 182 then yes
