Thanks!.. erm lets just say i had a grinder/tin spins/small pry bar and a free weekend!.. removing them had to be the most time consuming/awkward thing I've ever done.. My spot weld drill was at my parents and didn't want to buy a new one. I've welded in my own FIA spec seat mounts now that i...

Car looked mega at Rockingham from the pics mate!.. Love the wrap you have on it and the livery! Thinking I need a racy livery on mine! Busy???...... your a student bum Ant ;) all you do is lounge around all day pretending to listen in lectures! haha

#9 Missus has gone to visit her parents tonight so amazingly got some more time to put a few more pictures up!.. The next step on the cage was to add the harness mounts. I started with the shoulder bars. I put the seat temporarily in the car to figure out at what height and spacing the bars...

Thanks Tony! Don't mind at all mate.. Safety first!.. Luckily you didn't get T Boned at Rockingham when you spun, looked close (you would have felt that, especially without door crosses and your fibreglass doors wouldn't have offered much protection either) .. I bought straight tube from...

Thanks mate!. Appreciate it... Yeah I enjoyed driving it too, just need to get it finished so I can remember what it was like haha!!... I'd only do this again (strip it down) if I already had another track car to play with at the same time. mix fun with the work. Hi Andrew, Not sure what the...

As you wished Mate!.. I didn't realise my last one had been back in january!.. my bad!

#8 Been doing a fair amount of work on the car over the last few months, finally found a spare hour to right a bit of an update. The work I've been doing has mainly been fabrication based, getting the shell ready for a lick of paint on the inside and engine bay areas. I started to install the...

Oh nice!, how you finding the journey in?, worse than to Whitley?... My new role is 'Rear Axle CAD Lead Engineer' work in GDEC. Do you drive your clio in?

Great Thread.. Got me through the last hour at work :wink: .. Hope mine turns out as well as yours!

Yeah! I love all OMP's products, I get a good discount too which definitely swayed my decision ;) Hey, thanks for your kind words.... and wow, very small world!.. I'm at Gaydon (work in the chassis department) where are you based?

Hi James, How much are you looking for the following: - Cup master cylinder and bias adjuster - Engine Mounts Also, do you still have the following and if so how much are you looking for: - Oil filter/cooler take off plate (if you ran one?) - Alternator Mounts - Water Pump Pulley - Clutch...

Hi James, I'd definitely be interested in some of your parts. Have you sold any of the engine ancillaries? or engine mounts? What dampers and calipers are you running? Have you got the master cylinder and bias valve still? Cheers, Scott

Also finally got round to putting my seats up for sale.. check out the post here: http://www.cliosport.net/threads/182-interior-seats-front-seats-rear-bench-seat.763415/

Thanks!... On the garage theme, I just noticed one of your threads on here!.. Looking very tidy! Defiantly a requirement when I buy my first house! Warwick is a lovely place, very quaint.. Not sure how they would take to me getting the good old power tools out once I have a garage though...

Hey Martin, sorry I haven't got back to you. I'm probably a bit to far away now but your more than welcome to have a nose when its done. I'll definitely be bringing it down to Brands for a track day though when its done, so maybe see you there!? I'll have to try and dig all out my pictures and...

On a side note... I shall be putting my standard Clio Sport seats up for sale on here this week, so if anyone is interested let me know. :grinning: They are in really good condition. I'll put a link up to the post on here once I've done it.

Thanks for all the kind words and support!.. It will probably be nearer Christmas when I get to work on it again. I've got a busy few weekends coming up.. I'm co driving for a friend who will be rallying his Vauxhall Chevette in the Regency Stages @ Bath on the 29th of Nov. First Rally so should...

That's what I thought when I got the car in there! I had forgotten how big it was (I did dig the footings for it one summer so I should have remembered haha!!) I have moved to Warwick, got a job at Jaguar Land Rover. (was in Woking with my previous job)

Hi Harry, and everyone else that reads my posts (which I am hugely grateful of) sorry for the lack of updates recently, has it really been over a month since my last post!!.. I have just moved house and started a new job so I have been mega busy and had to take a break from the Clio :cry...

Thanks, I have enjoyed doing it.. I think my slight OCD is showing! haha Regarding why I stiffened the wishbone: The standard wishbones are designed to have the original rubber bushes installed, These bushes are designed to improve ride quality for the road, their secondary function is to...

Thanks Martin!.. I worked as a welder/fabricator before I went to uni (back in the day) .. so I have had a bit of practice.. It's definitely come in handy.. Especially as I've just started to make my own cage and weld that in!

Think I've found some reading material for the weekend!.. Car looks mega!.. exactly what I intend for mine to look like when I'm done! Good Job

#7 Time for another update I think!.... I decided I would tackle the Front Lower Wishbones next. Earlier in the thread I mentioned that when I picked up the car that it had a strange dead spot to the steering, and once I started to remove the suspension I noticed that the lower ball joint was...

Thanks mate, I'll keep the updates coming.. been doing a lot on the car recently! Sweet!.. I do love to see parts looking all clean (the way they should be!) .. defiantly worth the time and effort!

#6 Next on the list was sorting out the front uprights and hubs!, These were in such a state!.. Normal refurbing procedures were resumed.... I sandblasted the complete units to remove the outer corrosion.. I wasn't worried about getting sand in the bearings as I was going to replace them...

Hey, had a quick look on the website, looks pretty interesting.. something for next year potentially.. I'll have to come to a round a see what its all about!.. Ah I had a brief look at your thread a while ago, had another look this eve, car looks really good! mega job on it!!!!.. I also noticed...

Thanks!, hope your enjoying it, never done a thread before but thought I would on the Clio Cheers, all these comments really are motivating to crack on and get more done! Hi Mate, Thanks, I had a previous comment from sonny172cup (who I saw races in the Tricolore too) .. That prompted me to...

Cheers Ant!.. yeah its pretty handy.. being able to use the lathe and sand blaster has been a godsend!.. once its all done you'll have to pop over and we'll have to do Donington or something! Cheers Mate, Its all worth it in the end when you get to see the end result! Hi, yeah I can imagine, I...
