    The everlasting ph1 ITB Build **GREEN-BUILD STARTS AT PAGE 100**

    So a bit of a shameless plug as some grandads on here don't do social media ;) so wouldn't of seen the below: 21ten is a bit of a passion project that utilises my everyday talents* but in less pressured way. The idea for 21ten was to give me more time out home (pre Corona) to spend with my...

    The everlasting ph1 ITB Build **GREEN-BUILD STARTS AT PAGE 100**

    I must agree with @Coops Mk1 @1985michael182 imo the MK1 was a much better base, I loved mine (and was disappointed once I had owned the phase 1 for a while (I think I even mention that early on in this thread). Indeed was much less snappy and predictable, could play with the back end on it...

    Pointless anyways imo, all that money and it doesn't gain you a massive amount of power over and above a cammed/ITB'd lump. I know for sure I will never bother, I will just keep it external and if ever needed just bolt everything over to another engine.

    I couldn't recall from stalking his thread what power he was at, but I was pretty sure I hadn't read he was forged.

    The everlasting ph1 ITB Build **GREEN-BUILD STARTS AT PAGE 100**

    Hhhhmmmm as I said, bloody hate electrics... I genuinely think a lot of my problems were how old my stuff was, like the dash. Because it was 1st Gen it didn't have a 5v out.... proper pain. I am pretty pleased with 830kgs but I could still get more out, the cage could be T45 and I am sure there...

    Thank you for the kind words mate, much appreciated. You mention about patience - yet you only read from page 99, far more happened before that but it was along similar lines... for some reason I kept my foot in. To answer some of your comments below: I don't have a fire extinguisher at the...

    UPDATE: Had a little bit of time today to get back out and check spacing on the rear wheels before I put in an order with Pure Motorsport. Previously the car had 5mm each side on the rear but I was seeing if it could go out to 10mm each side. On putting 10mm on I was surprised at how much more...

    UPDATE: With everything made up tonight and having riv-nutted the arches earlier in the week I fitted the deflectors and ducting this evening. Pretty pleased with the result, I am also quite happy with how flexible it is, this should mean any big bumps and there is no further damage to anything...

    UPDATE: Well I think I would have hoped to be getting more down whilst we are on lockdown but I am spending way more time with my son which is cool and I have been converting the cab area of our sprinter camper which is fun in a sadistic way.... I love wires/electrics.... Onto clio jobs...

    I was joking, mine is way to bloody long (but I guess it depends how long we are in lockdown for). 😜😂 it does have all the ups and downs though. Agreed. I think facebook has kind of done the forums a favour. I think a lot of people have left or don’t bother with the forum anymore thinking fb...

    Ha, now who’s the stalker @1985michael182 😜. Seems like we have all been on the same path on the builds. At the risk of sounding all CV-19 unity/community spirity I think it is worth sharing when you have a sh*tter because others can relate and help out. Michael’s advice is for sure a good...

    My 182ff track car build (so far)

    I have a stockpile of ACF50 here waiting for my bolt check and application. Not sticking with the ITB's then?

    My 182ff track car build (so far)

    With a baby in bed and a wife asleep on the sofa I just done start to finish and left Michael with a million like notifications. After seeing Michael comment a fair few times in @Chambers_RS thread I thought I needed to see what he was all about. Great attention to detail in the build. Good to...

    Sorry chap, that was more of a general question rather than aimed directly at you. They look pretty different now but they were my old Image Billet 95's that use to be on my phase 1. I am not sure I would have gone polished lips when I was racing but he is a painter/sprayer by trade so I think...

    Clio 182 - road car / track car / race car

    Ha, trying to prevent damage... a bit stupid isn't it as its going to be skimming the road shortly (however I am exactly the same...ha). When I bolted mine up and torqued up all the bolts to the correct specs the powdercoat on the wishbone-arch braces cracked.... doh

    Just before the clio got painted I was debating selling everything and thinking about a playful daily... The only thing I could think of was a 1 series saloon and then you needed a decent engine one (and they were too expensive).... literally didn't fancy anything else - well maybe a Valver or a...

    Looks so good back on the ground, clean and out in the open - this is pushing me to get mine back on the floor - looks sorry for itself sat on stands covered in dust

    Clio 182 - road car / track car / race car

    Its so satisfying bolting bits back up isn't it.... makes you properly feel like you are moving forward.... Feel your pain on fitting the subframe up by yourself... ha.... can remember doing it with the car in the air, the subframe on my chest holding it up to bolt in...

    Daunted at the amount of jobs in hand? Or the type of jobs you have to do? I literally had no clue when doing my car but feel its turned out alright, if I can do it, you certainly can

    UPDATE: A new heatshrink boot has been ordered from FCLane, it is Hellerman rather than Raychem but reading the specs it all sounds the same. FCLane were awesome too so I will certainly being using them again if needed, once that arrives it will be sorted asap. Grabbing little bits of time to...

    I believe it does yeah, when you heat shrink it I believe the adhesive helps it adhere to the surface you are putting it over. His reply: “Hello, It looks like some of the /225 pre coated adhesive is coming away. This is fairly standard with the product you have ordered. When the parts are...

    Cheers mate, it is coming along. I did order a new heat shrink boot off of ebay, but I am pretty sure its a knock off jobby. It turned up with the inner lining flaking off quite badly so it is being returned straight away - jokers.... Need to try and find another one (which seems easier...
