Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco The ph1 ran 2.5 front then as does this one. Lol at -4, gota love our pikey ways!

Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco Thats kinda the idea, but in bronze ;) See my edit above Danny, yeh sounds a decent idea to me. Whats standard camber on the front? the ph1 ran 1.5 or 2.5 i dont remember, this one has 2.5 at the front currently.

Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco Just looking into how the rear camber will make the car feel as i never messed with it on the rear before, though i dont want to eat through tyres quickly Ive just been outside in the dark with my phone light and a tape, pretty sure it will fit! Im just wondering...

Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco Thank you mate :) Im undecided on what to do spacer wise atm, looking into the 10mm with the camber as i think that should be ok

Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco Ah right just saw black 182 on your profile. Was the awesome £6 hand car wash near the station, i dont do detailing you see! I might go for some 10mm ones with the extra 1' camber, that will tuck the top of the wheel in and not rub then hopefully. I obviously just...

I get you with that, all about reliability with this build. After being in a super charger clio running 250bhp i cant say a clio would really need much more power than that. Presuming as the 197 cams are just a mild improvement on standard 172/182 cams they'll be fine for the turbo application...

Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco Ive seen them, im just unsure if 10mm would be too much and would rub. As my 5mm on the ph1 never rubbed but the 15mms rubbed alot! I could always borrow steves rear 5mm spacers and put them both on one side and see if it rubs lol So was thinking of just going for...

Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco Your not the guy with the 182 who's car wouldnt start at the car wash are you by any chance?

To save me clogging up Dan's project thread ill reply here. There is a rather large difference in size on them! My car has had the head ported on it by 519 when he owned it, on N/a im sure it makes a larger difference. You not doing anything with the 197 head?

Very interesting that chip, been doing abit of reading on inlet manifolds etc and theres alot more to it than meets the eye. Dan does that fit with out cutting the bulk head? looks as if it will be tight!

IMO the roof looks alright but the fact it just stops at the spoiler ruins it. Engine bay looks ok, but could do with some paint to freshen up the inlets/fuel rail guard. Wheel whores stickers, sticker bombed rear insert, sticker bombed fog inserts and bonnet bra all look s**t. But i really am a...

Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco Ive got a load of stuff kicking about which made it cheaper, found someone on ebay selling the spray i use for £2.45 a tin where as i normally pay £7 so ordered a load lol

Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco Wheels are 100% going that ford roman bronze, just ordered all the stuff to paint them. Including paint i have kicking about it in my garage it should cost under £35 to do all 4 wheels, and a bit of my time ha

Thats true. Have you never considered condensing both of your clios into one? and running the RS2 on the turbo car? I really want to see someone run it on a boosted application, would look so smart if it were to work! Saying that i know both the clios serve different purposes so would be a bit...

Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco Haha, If I did go down that route I would be tempted to leave a standard passenger seat in tbh. I used to hate the hassle of pissing about with the passenger harness for any passengers. Mind that would look abit weird.

Your knowledge is much more technical than mine. Time will tell if its any good I guess!

Im with chip on that. If it is restrictive (which i doubt it would be any down grade on the standard inlet) it surely shouldnt make much difference? Plus its easier maintenance wise

Theres a reason the coilovers are so cheap.

Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco Cheers Dave, I dont think it will be going down the route of buckets and seats as the ph1 did. Keeping it more enjoyable for everyday use for now seems the best idea.

Theres one in needham market thats slammed with a big exhaust, dont think hes on here though.

Most of these red ones seem to be up in Scotland, where as in East Anglia the in thing is monaco blue now. Im just being a sheep tbh

I dont have one, therefore ill take that as a compliment for once!

Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco Better pics of the F1s, ill adjust the suspension to suit after i get spacers and address any rubbing. Then i sprayed a few bit with some silver vht paint that i had left over from the ph1. Looking much fresher now! Laguna air con removal setup, Removed...

Ive been back through this thread several times recently ha.

That is cheap, hate renewal time

Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco Shame. You kinda need a bathroom though!! I'll let you off

East Anglia clio owner standard. Plans sound spot on Danny, is insurance getting cheap or is it an age thing? Ha. Mines cheap as now! I hate the ph2 alloys personally :(

lolz. your a 1/3 as bad at doing that lewis!

Clios got to cheap, queue cheap lowz&lolz

Re: dmallett's 421'd monaco Unsure if its actually monaco under all the s**t. Sure you dont want to come ring trip next year? :P
