What a great line up! Glad you’ve come back to the ‘Roots’ too... love seeing those that have gone on to successful lives and are still grounded. just go for it on this build... put a cage in it for sure, if the mrs means anything to you (I’m sure she does) then throw one in. And then just...

I’m glad this weekend has been good for somebody! My Aux belt snapped last night on the Skoda Superb work horse! :( Although, it does mean I get to spend the night on the forum :D What are your plans for this car?

Here’s mine in its basic form... this is before it gets loads of money thrown at it. However.. if you want a quick weight loss program for your Clio... this is it. Next step... windows out - poly windows in Doors out - fibreglass in Boot out - fibreglass in Cage in Then the underneath gets...

Nick... do the EPAS conversion and Vlog it! I’ve watched all your vids and I believe I’m a subscriber... look forward to the updates mate

Bloody hell! You’ve been busy!

All of the sticky stuff you have remaining inside the car, will come off with Autosmsrt Jelsol Thank me later 😂 Mega effort going into this build! Quality stuff!

Plenty of OLD cloths! (They’ll be good enough for the bin only) and gloves! I’ve learned a trick with this stuff. spray it onto the offending sticky stuff, let it sit for a minute or so and try and use the same cloth as much as possible, the Jelsol that’s already on the cloth will aid removal...

What a shame, after all that work ECP let you down with the injector! Loving the swift upgrades too! Coming along very nicely :up: I shall be sure to keep an eye on this one

Mine will get trailered to and from the track too. The only thing I worry about is parking it up in the unit Loving the updates

Erm... I’m glad you think so 😂... I’m glad there’s a guide to be honest, but I’ll still find a way to mess it up 🙈 It’s great to learn all this stuff and I’m genuinely enjoying doing it all, but each task gets a little more technical and seems really daunting. However, I know...

It needs investigating, I took it back to the unit first thing Tuesday morning and abandoned it 😂 Once I’ve had a good look at what’s causing the issue, I will move forward with a fix. I’m not holding my breath as fluid was absolutely everywhere :grimacing:

Is your steering really heavy without PAS? My pal has just removed his and blanked off his rack and it has to be the worst steering I’ve felt. If there’s another way around PAS than going EPAS, I’m interested (and not very knowledgeable in this stuff :grin: )

I’ve heard it’s a bit of a ball ache... but needs doing I reckon Thanks JB, I’ll certainly be following a guide! I wouldn’t know where to start 😂 Not sure what you mean mate? I don’t want to stick with PAS as I hear many people have issues with it Well, with my PAS fluid still...

What an awesome read! That PMS shifter found its way into the car pretty discreetly! Looks bloody brilliant! I’ve got to where mine is for £3k...however I bought the car for £220 and I’ve done NOTHING in comparison to this! So I’m going to say you’re north of £5k now Few questions in...

The update I’ve been waiting to make since purchase day!! Errm...where do I start... well, after a lot of prep work over the last few months, the car was ready for a track day! There are still bits to sort with the car but they’ll all be done in time. So, Sunday afternoon/evening I picked up...

This is great! The thing I love about this, is that it’s clearly been loved before your ownership and now it’s time for track stuff it’s still getting really good mods. You could’ve just replaced the rad, but you’ve chosen to upgrade the pipe work too. Things like this are great to see...

Total cost.... THIS FAR!! :grin: Purchased Car - £200 Fine (Clamp) - £260 Battery - £70 Headlights - £40 ECU/UCH Set - £50 Front Grille - £10 Washer Jet Blanks - £4 Air Filter - £16 ASH Induction Pipe - £16 Hazard light switch - £2.50 Brakes - £532 NGK Spark Plugs - £36 Flocked Dash Trims -...

He’s jumped in with both feet as he has a pas leak. Told him to buy the kit from @JB21 but he knew best 🙈

he’s still on the standard alternator

Gents... Mate of mine is doing a conversion and can’t seem to get s belt that fits. What belts are you all using?

Welcome along... I had an itch last year... it’s now partially scratched! First track day is this Monday coming. DO NOT! Whatever you do, add up the parts you purchase 😂😂😂 I’ve made that mistake 🙈

Another small update Popped down to the Unit tonight for a few hours to sort a few niggly bits out A couple of weeks back, I butchered this headlight so that I could use it as an air feed Tonight, I went for it straight into cutting the holes, no measuring as I’m not bothered about the...

@Vicky. would you say you’re into cars more than your other Half?or did he get you into cars? I’m intrigued as my mrs has always said that she would love to do stuff with cars, but never really seems bothered by it all either 😂 Hopefully see you at brands in it soon :up:

This is such a nice car! Now I want a Cup Racer!

When you follow a build thread and see a car go from s**t to holy s**t it’s a great process to see... But when you open a thread and see the long list of new parts... THEN see the pictures of said list... astonishing build! Looks great! Oh and not to mention, the felled money tree would be a...

Gents... sorry to dig this up, but saves a new thread. Where do I buy CLIP? or another software that’ll read my 172 and turn features on or off Thanks

Rather good read. Enjoyed watching the wallet flying out... the bit I’m not looking forward to in the disappointment.. Why I think you’ll be disappointed... I don’t think, even with all the work that’s been done, that you’ll be keeping up with/going past the honda’s that you’ve struggled with...

How has GOLD not been mentioned! This would look slick on a set of gold wheels

Afternoon all Just trying to keep up with this thread now. i know I’ve not kept up with the coatings of everything, nor has everything that I’ve done to the car been documented in here, but hopefully soon the car will be out for its first track session and then I can make more quality upgrades...

Thanks mate, should hopefully be out for it’s first track day soon :D
