And sold to me for £26 haha Also managed to get the 182 exhaust surrounds and bumper insert - seems no one wanted cheap Clio parts tonight thank god Rob

Few pictures of the current stage, got the exterior looking more or less how I wanted bar more carbon fibre..... Got harnesses on the way and just need to sort a bolt in cage for track so can mount the harnesses to as well. The Turini's are the road wheels with a new set of T1R's...

Well got an oil collector pot fitted. Unfortunately the paintjob looked nothing like the pic so rubbed it down and repainted it. I mounted it in its current position for quickness but will need to orientate it 90 degree once another location tab has been welded on. Also when I was out for a...

As said above it was to get a base printout before adding anything else to boost power. Then can see what has been added/lost regradless of original figure. All being well can put a better graph up in a fortnight from a Dyno Dynamics rolling road. Also - book power for a Focus RS mk2 is 301bhp...

It may well be reading high but as said above it was mainly to get a before run for when the cams go in along with matched inlets (the inlets may already be matched after chatting to previous owner) and a map. Not sure on the engine power calculation as never bothered asking even though used...

I dont think its that much out mind haha - standard Focus RS's on these rollers run around 290-305bhp and they book at 301bhp More interested in getting a starting point then when I add mods I can take it here again and compare Rob

After owning the car for around 5-6 weeks I thought it was time for a rolling road session to see where I was at with the car. The car came with the V6 airbox complete with Pipercross filter and a Janspeed catback exhaust. I have added a 182 4-2-1 manifold along with a Ktec decat link pipe and...

Bought some inlets which have had some porting done and just needs finishing off; Also called into Motoscope for a power run to give me an idea of what I am working with, Rich commented on how smooth and strong the engine felt. The fans on this rolling road are enormous in comparison to...

Well today had the day at MB Motorsport with Mich, Frankie and Mark who work there. Got all the jobs I wanted done as well. First up was fitted the Clio 182 4-2-1 manifold, Ktec link pipe, all new gaskets and hangers. The spring and bolt arrangement between the link pipe and manifold didnt...

Cheers for the comments - I wasnt sold on the colour initially as it hadnt been cleaned very well by the garage where it was bought. I have snowfoamed it, lime primed, clay barred, 2 bucket wash and then a full polish session by hand then 2 layers of wax and 1 of glaze to get a lovely shine...
