Yeah would be good to blow the cobwebs off the ol charger and give it a run out. Not seen you for ages

I'll see if I can get down there

You're not far from me, have my number and more than welcome to have a go. @Cub. Whens Bedford?

I hardly drive mine! BUT, faultless when I do, pulls like a train, just keeps going. It's a 2nd car to me so I guess it sees the road maybe once a month, I need to take some fresh photos of it. It's almost on 3000 miles since my charger conversion was done and still love it when I take it out. I...

What size diameter restrictor did you fit?

Good figures Cub well done :blush:

I use the complete phase 1 fuel setup as fitted to all standard Clio 172s from the factory, so it runs back to the fuel sender if that's what you refer to as the swirl pot. Nothing drilled, if you look at the sender unit in the pic above it has the 2 outlets for fuel out and return. If you look...

I'm not running a swirl pot setup... yet, so at the moment the fuel return runs from the rail back to the fuel sender unit

First thing IMO and was advised to is to ditch the 182 fuel setup and use everything from a phase 1 Clio 172. So that's the sender to which I had a Walbro 255 pump installed Fuel Out and Return lines Fuel Rail which has the FPR attached Apparently the phase 1 fuel system is more stable when...

Mint, everything looks just right together.

Liking that lots, much better

A Southend meet that changes to Beckton

Saw this pull up last night in the Waitrose car park about 7.45pm, 05 plate with anthracite 2118s. Looked pretty good

Weather's looking good chaps, think I'll pop down around midday

Agreed, no harm in asking questions. The owner can hopefully answer questions with confidence along with photographic evidence and/or invoices to back it all up. Like anything go with your instincts, if you don't feel positive vibes from the answers or info politely walk away afterwards...

Echoing what @incey-spider has said, I'd be slightly offended if that's what people were thinking. Mines done 2500 trouble free miles so far, it has an extensive project thread to back up all the work done, parts bought including invoices and went the expensive alternative route to mapping...

I think the biggest thing about buying someone elses charged Clio would be 1: Who's selling it? 2: Who mapped it? Would anyone stay clear of my charged Clio if it ever came up for sale??

Good to see you've finally gone for it :D Is that a stock OE ECU I see in the photo?

I should be able to attend

Brilliant pics, I see my friends were there in the Raider, Glacier White, Tungsten Grey R5 GT Turbos and the Coupe Cup race car. The Raider is a thing of beauty, he's also restoring a Renault 11 turbo back to it's former OE glory

My honest opinion, to drive a 100 miles to a park up on a plot of grass within a campsite...... Poor location Activites, average, catered for people who have children fair enough but that's about it. There didn't seem to be as many Clios attending this year like at Duxford. At least Duxford you...

Turned 40 last month and on my 5th Renaultsport Clio with the supercharged Petrol Blue 182. My first was when I was 34

So I ended up buying just 2 new Michelin Pilot Sport 3 tyres and had them fitted to the OZ wheels. Saturday morning I headed back to Foundry tyres in Hockley to have all the wheels swapped over, decent chaps and charged me £10 each to swap the tyres from the 182 wheels to the OZ wheels. They...

It's not a bad mod but can be improved on, the tubes on mine were held in place with zip ties. Although what does let it down is the original rubber splitting which has made the tailpipes move slightly out of centre. I reckon the sealant with the tubes would be a better solution than zip ties...

I'll be at CSS so if you're going you can have a look round and have a chat :)

Cool beans, will try and hook up when you hit the M25

Mark I might meet up with you en route after you've left the M11 meet up point if that's ok
