Excellent start to the project buddy. I will be watching this, as for upgrading the brakes I went with the brembos from a megane 225, but I run 16" wheels but my friend who has a Renault 5GTT has done the brembos under 15 wheels, I am sure you can get different brackets to suit wheel size. :)

Those wheels look ace on a clio!!

Awesome, gonna be watching this one :)

Cheers matey :)

@Pauleds that alternator mount looks nice and tidy now, I need to do this to mine when I put my EPAS on, what belt have you used for it? Cheers

^^ Cheers, cant please everyone :) . Finally got round to sorting the garage out the weekend, new toolbox and some storage units, rolled the car out, started her up, had a quick look round and decided I'm not happy with a lot of bits, plus there is a small oil leak which looks like its coming...

Excellent project @KitsonRis and those headlights look ace!!

They only have a facebook page and instagram account at the moment. Ill link you when I get back from work.

Peerless vehicle detailing in Birmingham, excellent service there, he can use which ever products you prefer, normal he will use G tecniq or Cquartz.

This will be awesome when its done, we need more boosted ph1 on the road :D

Depends if you're going down the 225 block and gearbox or are you gonna use a 172 bottom end and jc5 box? I've done that in mine, however Chip has done a complete 225 swap into his 172.

Awesome project and work going into this, cheers for the bonnet too :)

So my new swirl pot, more fuel hose and more fittings arrived. Decided, I wanted the fuel set up closer to the tank and behind the drivers seat so started to place things and started making a template to mount them on. once all the work was done, it was time to bleed the brakes, give...

Cheers @Ph1 Tom still got lots to do on it :)

Day after I ordered some fuel system bits they turned up, which was great! I was tempted to not run an external pump and just run an internal uprated one, but after days of doing some research and speaking to others, I decided to stay with the two pump setup, but I removed the external fuel...

While I was measuring up for lengths of hose and fittings which I needed, I decided I wasn't happy with wiring of the car either, It was always on the to do list once the car was running years ago, but like most people I hate wiring and something always goes wrong... never the less it was time...

So back in January 2015 we finally got the keys to our first house, so I didn't really touch the clio at all for a few months, then the bug started to kick in again and I just waited to use the car a little more. So I went back to my parents house and uncovered it, started first time and drove...

I've just read the whole build thread! Fully awesome build! Makes me want to start messing with my ph1 again!

Once again Ive just left this thread and not updated it... Will throw some photos up tonight with a few changes :)

Awesome build thread, great attention to detail, and that fuel rail is a master piece! I could never find a decent fuel rail so I had to stick with the standard one! will be watching this thread :)

Where are you from in the west midlands bud??

@ph-reebone Fair play, I've watched this project from the start I and remember seeing it at the NEC autosport show years ago. Garage is looking great and don't give up on building the car! I built My turbo'd ph1 then bought a house, car is just sat under a cover for a while. So I know what...

Excellent mate! ill be watching this! If you need any advice etc on anything give me a shout! I did this to mine a few years back with the help of Andy G best thing I ever did!

Cheers guys, I cant take all the credit though, ive had a lot of help from a few members on here and also close friends to help get the car where it is at the moment. @JD_RS172 all the mounts are the same and its running the standard 172 box at the moment, until I do the vag box conversion...

Yes, yes! full of win this! use to have different wheels on it iirc when Andy built it. Will be keeping an eye on this :)

Cheers @StuOwen86 cage was made by a chap on ebay, he does cages for fords etc too, was a while ago I bought it, Think it was around £150?? Then I got it powdercoated. cheers

So I uncovered this today, battery is on charge as we speak, hopefully going to get it fired up this weekend, and then it will be moved into the garage where I can begin work on it again, Made a long shopping list of parts I need for it. First things are a new steering rack and column, lower...

Excellent Build, I Cant recommend Andy enough, he really helped me with my conversion, and the engine is still strong as a nut! Fair play.

Excellent build so far, keep up the good work!!

So lets rewind back to 2012, mapping of the car had gone very well and I was pleased with the results, had no major issues with the car, so I decided to book a track day, so a few touches were needed, had the camber and castor setup and also bought a mocal oil cooler with a thermostat plate...
