This is what’s happening to my build 😂 I love the build as much as driving it so wouldn’t change it but.... I do look back to my RS2 spec and think I should of left it 😂 reliability is key to enjoyment of track days and I think the RS2, EFi map and quafie diff is a really good achievable base...

I second the RS2 inlet. I sold the RS2 and went ITBs and wish I didn’t tbh

Need a friendly mot tester 😉

Pushed the Clio out the garage and rinsed off the dust and started the tear down ready for some progress to start 😆

You know what’s like, constant battle 😂 I’m happy it’s found the ground and everything looks ok so far. Once I can push it out I’ll know more.

Thanks bud 👍🏻

Few milestones achieved recently. Finally got the thermostat and bottoms coolant hose sorted with clearance from the rad. Brakes are sorted hopefully now as the discs were hard up against the calipers on the inner section. Wheel studs are loctited on and torqued up. And it’s back on...

@Paulstewart20 Here you go mate

Good work 👍🏻 Might look at this myself. Much weight save over the OE setup with passenger wiper arm on the drivers side you reckon?

Still Problem solving. Would be easier if I wasn’t being stubborn and used a normal Clio rad 😂 Anyway to gain clearance on the stat housing and fans I’ve had to buy 2 more fans, this time push fans so I can mount them on the front of the rad rather than rear. I still wasn’t sure this would...

NA and abuse is my plan. To start with 🙄😂

Handy to know for the future 😉 What offsets where they?

When I ordered my brakes and wheels from PMS I was debating 7j or 8j 15s. Nick reckon 8j need a little work to stop catching if I remember correctly, along with offsets and camber playing apart. I went 7j in the end but mainly because the 8j wheels were along wait time 😂. Once mines built I’ll...

What’s it like? And how safe do you feel under it? I’ve been looking at mid raise scissor lifts as I sell them through work but this maybe an option as they take up less room.

More info on the jack needed 👌🏻 Brakes look good 👍🏻

Gotta have a laugh 😂

Faffed around with the boot for an hour or so today working out why it would never close flush. Turns out the rubber seal/the inner part of the boot clearance wasn’t right resulting in some of the seal being chopped. Got all the pins and buttons lined up and it shuts much better. Just need...

Banged my Ricky Evans heated screen in along with the new rubbers. Wasn’t as bad as I thought actually was worried doing it on my own but turned out easy. Also ordered new Pitking push button releases for the boot as I don’t think I can get aero catches to work with the current holes cut.

Finally found a CV joint!! After 10 shafts 8 old 2 new aftermarket brands and a lot of research we have one. Turns out these K20-Clio shafts use the 32 internal spline for the outer CV joint which isn’t that common and I think only on the 172 cup shafts. All aftermarket brand shafts inc the...

I like these a lot especially in white 👍🏻

I’d 110% go with the a-class hydroelectric pump. Easy 2 mount, 2 wires making easy to wire and works great with good feed back. I’ve fitted one to my mates eg civic with a k20 in and it works well.

Measured the exhaust ports, hopefully makes sense. Ph1 rockers I believe have this round casting on them in the centre

I know how you feel, frustration is creeping in on mine now after moving so well for abit. Defo don’t break this up, you’ve take time to everything probably, just take a bit more time.

Ticking things off slowly but struggling with finding a decent outer CV joint that’s usable once removed. I’ve brought 3 shafts off eBay and all where knackered. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Also having trouble making up a bottom coolant hose that doesn’t play on my OCD 😂 Problem I have is the thermostat even with...

Congrats on the little one 👍🏻 And the ITBs 😎 I have a large port head I could measure at some point if you struggle 👍🏻

What day you booked Mallory? I’m hoping to get there in my Leon.

Slowly ticking through the jobs. I’ve got loads to do and mock up before I can get the wheels back in the ground. I want the wheels and suspension set before tacking the chassis leg and gearbox mount. Had this gearbox breather on order for a while as mine was shagged. I’ve been looking...

Have you looked at the AP setup?

I wish I stayed on the RS2 manifold and grpN timing. Drivability was spot on, simple and reliable.

Looking forward to watching this take place 👌🏻
