Good fun lol

Still running and on the road yes mate

No probs mate, was good to meet you. If my clios about next time your over, I'll take you for a run up the road :-)

Just uploaded a couple of short ones m8

It needs a front grille and some front fog lights ! Erm or maybe its another engine up front thats missing lol

Yes m8, JE pistons, Pauter rods

Vw festival was on at Harewood House last weekend, and i managed to sneak the Clio in with the VR6 Owners Club. Surprisingly i didn't get tied to a cross and burnt alive ! Here's some pics

I managed to find some different wheels. Oz super t's. Repainted them in a mid grey with a hint of the brown in. They'll do for now.

Couple more pics

Cheers, I'm Huddersfield way m8

Thanks m8 ! ;)

Lol, it's been sat gathering dust for at least 12 months ! Not quite finished yet. Bits and pieces to do. Rubbing strips to fit Bumper strips to paint satin black Window / door rubbers to source, although i think i've sorted that one Lower tailgate trim and front grille and a scuttle to also...

Thanks, and i have to agree. I'm looking round for some different wheels. Would prefer to stay 16". need to be 7" wide on a 42 offset really so i can squeeze some bigger rubber into the arches. Compomotive mo's would have been nice but they are rocking horse s**t !

So.................I've been busy.........

Cheers m8 :)

Haha ! Not repaired the one i bust before yet, the clio's not turned a wheel in over 2 months. Hoping to have a real push on in the next few weeks ready for the spring. Got a couple of small modifications to make :rasp::cool:

It's Andy m8, and yeah it was me you sold the bits to...... A VR6 subframe which is now fitted to the clio, and an engine with a rod out of the side for spares if i remember rightly :-)

Not sure, i wanted to change colour to a grey or dark blue, but everyone seems to tell me to leave it black ! I suppose the standard OEM look is all part of the cars look. Non standard colour and bodywork mods may kinda ruin that.....

Think it'll be nxt year when she's back on the road though now. I'm planning on pulling the motor out and repainting the whole car over the winter.

Ahh, thanks again for the loan of the sockets m8, was good to meet you.

A boosted vr6 motor puts out way more torque than a boosted f4r or f7r. Mine was 430lbs/ft at 18psi. Also i'm running an standard fit VR6 O2A gearbox, just with a quaife fitted. The O2M is a much stronger gearbox. I'm looking at converting to an O2M now, so we'll see......

Well, as many of you already know, i managed to strip all the teeth from 5th gear on Sunday...... It was a day that was destined to fail from the off...... while driving over to Efi-Parts the car developed a misfire and i felt it was caused by some recently changed spark plugs, so once i arrived...

Bit of an update.... A fair bit of work has been done to improve the clio's handiling characteristics recently. When she first hit the road, the handling was interesting to say the least ! Over 50-60 mph and the car felt scarily twitchy. The trip to french car show was a long one ! it felt as...

Thanks m8, shame i haven't seen their faces either, since they're playing catch up lol ;-)

Thank you :cool:

Not going to bedford ??? But fingers crossed will be down at santa pod on the 2nd september.

Yes m8, i was there :-)

Hey up lad ! Hopefully be at pod on the 2nd, although it doesn't look like i'll be running the clio. Been on with some suspension tweaks, and tbh they aint made a right lot of difference :-( Another quick test to try before i take time out, but i should still be there even if i don't run the...
