such love for you.

Pulled the engine out again today... Getting pretty damn good at it now. Removed the bulkhead sound deadening, as I ordered some Nimbus to replace it. Also removed the clutch cable after this photo. Then cut like 1/3 of the chassis leg out... Meaning I could get the engine back in, and...

basically yes, just swap everything across.

When I say gearing is too short, I was meaning I was often requiring a lower gear for corner entry/apex, and then needing to go for the next gear before exiting the corner. You're smashing through the gears and getting into 5th pretty early and being pretty slow. I certainly didn't expect it...

I'd say do mods that you want for a road car, and just use it on track if you like. Lots of people have fun in standard cars. Couple of years ago, a mate had a 1.2 Corsa that he used on track all the time, because of his huge b****cks and learning how to drive a slow car, fast, he was passing...

Echo the above really, Brilliant tyres from what I've experianced, both on a heavy Diesel Alfa and a Clio. Price sounds epic too.

True, I think its got to be a little more track focused this time round, but still a daily drive. Don't pamper it too much, just turn it into a good well built track car, Don't bodge it and make it look respectable and you're onto a winner.

Already had this thread open lol. Yeah as Ryan said, I found the gearing too short for track really, but then its not designed for it. Mine has 172 wide track (and thus sport kit), decent shocks and springs, track tyres, decent setup and a RARB and I have a brilliant time, and hussle a lot of...

I seem to be the only DCi owner not building a 172 track car. Meh! Car looks good, and plans sound epic!

With a 1.6 harness, it'd be super easy. I'd imagine, as long as both are Ph1/Ph2, you should be able to just plug the 1.6 engine bay loom into the bulkhead plug. Where abouts are you?

This this this. You might be welsh, but you are right.

Shells are all the same, so no different on engine mountings other than the alloy pieces that join everything up.. Throw up a project thread, should be a good read!

TEG, Jack and Jaff are all right. Spigots do feck all. Look at your bolts, and your bolt holes, wheres the movement in that? There is none.

Re: dmallett's indecisive clio thread! Monaco ph2 pg1+, Titanium ph1 pg31+, PB ph1 pg Sticking with Ph1 it'd be Sunflower, Scarab and Iceburg if you're picky? Feel like I'm missing some tbh.

Oh dear indeed! Switches are quite cheap new, and same across sport and non sport.

After tonights discussion I might have a car for this too, Non-Clio. Big turnout is always nice, but I do always have a good time with you lads.

I can recommend somebody in the midlands, I'd have to dig out his details though..

You can give me a lift if my car isn't done then :P

I wonder about painting them. Be a pig to do, and they don't like coming apart.

Honestly hadn't thought of this before now! Ruined it now!

lol, f**k off you.

Its going to be hard for you to find somebody you'll let drive it!

Hearing it the other day as Scott turned up at Southend, it sounds just as good as it looks too.

I'll have to confirm nearer the time. Brothers birthday that weekend, and depending on car situation.

Cup shouldn't have the Cruise control wiring. So make sure your brake lights work, as that looks like the brake pedal switch plug. Bit hard see from the angle.

Re: dmallett's indecisive clio thread! Monaco ph2 pg1+, Titanium ph1 pg31+, PB ph1 pg I thought, by your responce, there was an update. Altho page numbers are all wrong for me.

I'm amazed how well it fits tbh. Still Hydro, I could do with getting the Meg clutch pipe though, as its a different fitting to the Lag IIRC.

I saw that driving around... Nice car...

So, I would have liked to have got more done this weekend, but not been in the right mindset for it yet, plus I'd like to do things in the order I have them in my head. I discovered the other day a Megane 1.9 DCi 6speed box would be a better fit, NDO01 box vs the Laguna/Trafic/Clio V6 huge PK6...

BJ made me laugh. How immature.
