Couple of updates to keep the thread alive as everyone goes into winter hibernation. Drove the car briefly on Sunday which of course was huge fun. The seats at the moment are too far back and need moving forward for the sake of control and the new cage. I'll do that at cage fitting time though...

Cheers Dan, must have a look through yours soon, seems to progress very fast! It's a DRE shift light. It's possibly one of the easiest things to fit, live, ground and signal wire from the coil pack.

Painting finished. Got the seats in today and the shift light in. That was a quick sentence to write but it took ages to get both things done right. Big thanks to @Martin. for coming down and helping with all the cup jobs. Cage next. I'm wondering if it's actually going to be possible to get a...

Thanks matey, it is great to have it finally done but god I miss having unlimited time at my disposal! The car is on 438 cat cams, rs lower inlet, ac and pas delete, decat, 182 manifold and a terrible induction kit! Yeah it would be usable if I bored it out but I'm looking to get around 250 out...

Evening Chaps, few little updates on the Clio. Weekend just gone I headed down to Surrey Rolling Road, arrange by @TimR26, with buddies @AlexW @Sash and @Martin. It was a very good day and I was over the moon to see the cup run 196.3 bhp after saying I'd be happy with anything over 180. It shows...

Was @Timmsy polo. Totally standard, book figure of 190 was thrown out the window. Apparently VW always understate.

Thanks for organising the day Tim, thoroughly enjoyed it, especially after my run. Was good news for the cup today, it made more power then ktec claimed! Hilarious amounts of oil coming out the back. Not bad considering the engine and ECU came out of another car. A great day with great mates.

Assume I need cash or is card good?

Cheers boi, would have missed that

Sounds like fuel system needs looking at, do leak off on the injectors and report back with how much they let out over 1 minute.

Very quick progress Matty boi! Like the quick and new idea for the hydraulic clutch and heater. Welding coming on nice too :)

😂 Cheers matey, I'm old in the head that's for sure. Spent a little time on the car today fitting the PMS brace and top mounts and looking over it after the trackday. Thankfully the car has had solid mounts on in a previous life so it had pre-drilled holes for them, huge time saver...

Cheers boyo! I had a decat in mine which made it considerably louder. Think I paid £140 for my centre silencer but it was "soiled" stock. I have to say it was worth me swapping it because I didn't bat an eye lid about the noise limits all day. I'm sure you'll be fine though, I did a weekend day...

Was a bit of a bummer to start the day that's for sure. We'll get to the bottom of it! How would you check the fuel pressure Mark? With the ph2 lines it's a bit more difficult in my head.

Bedford It was an eventful journey but the weekend was perfect. Friday we left home about 7, had a wonderful journey through the blackwall tunnel and quickly found out the car was a little low with all the gear in. I'd take spare hubs, discs, driveshafts etc etc so it wasn't light at all. The...

@Martin. @AlexW @Kelv @Timmsy You guys up for this?

Yeah we did, no problems with it at all. It sure is, we're honestly totally out of ideas now and are down to wiggling wires.

Timing signals on OMEX is spot on so its very unlikely and there's no timing error. Last night we checked the spark again with a better earth and it's strong. Compression test came back good. Even swapped the dephaser solenoid just incase.

Evening chaps, quick update on a couple of bits. Car is pretty much ready for the track day at the weekend. Saturday just gone @Martin. and I spent the day sorting out a few bits on both our cars. For me that involved finally fitting the new harnesses, new cup alternator bracket and fitting the...
