Delivery day today. Got home to 2 packages after work. 1st of which... BAF Motorsport K brace. And a quick mock up I would have fitted it there and then but.... I seem to have misplaced the isofix bolts that i took out a couple of year back. Have other somewhere so will be bolted in at...

Got round to doing the front numberplate as well so it was also quick removal. £5 strip of aluminum from B&Q, some strong as f*** glue and some vinyl on the bumper. 3 magnets on the back of the plate and voila!

With the rear end painted i set about getting front painted also along with the roof. Just need to get the cage sorted out and that will be the interior done and ready to bolt everything back in! To tidy things up a bit, I had bought some rubber edging. So fitted this to the edge round the...

Got a couple more pics of the bay today whilst removing the battery and ecu housing. Attempted to lay my ecu flat on top of the gearbox mount but there seemed to be loads of tension on the cables 🤷 Any suggestions? Then set about removing the cage, brace and seats and given the rear...

Well was expecting a delivery for the clio yesterday after work so headed round and set about doing a few bits. De greased the bay and got most of the crap off the rocker cover. Got all the painted engine bits refitted, unfortunatly not the best pictures due to the glare of the sun but ill get...

Took advantage of the good weather tonight after work and got a few more bits painted. Engine lifting bracket, engine mount and engine mount bracket. Next on the list is the rocker cover and alternator bracket.

Got round to drilling out the seat mounts for the the harness lap belts. Replaced the inner rear bolts for eyelet anchor bolts for the harnesses to hook onto. Feel as if this is a much safer solution to what i was running before. At the same time I also set about tidying up more of the...

Next part of the update. I was beginning to feel like theyre was a bit too much going on with the livery on the car so decided to tone it down a bit. I also fitted a new rain light on the rear as the one i was running shorted and half the l.e.ds stopped working. I also stuck one of the...

Recently I have been toying with the idea of adding a sticker in the plate recess (like on race cars) but obviously removing a plate every trackday/car show would be a pain plus all the sticky tabs or screw holes will be an issue. More so for the front with having the holes in the bumper. Now...

Time to sort out the next step of the puzzle. Seeing as the interior is getting an overhaul. The half cage will be getting taken out, then out of the 2 cages a full one will be getting made. The rear cage in just now has harness bars which I need for running the harnesses. So I'm now in...

Another update. The seats were always doing my head in in the clio, The blue just did not tie in with anything at all. So enough is enough, got the seats out and stripped down at the weekend and got the backs lightly sanded. Then a fresh lick of primer And then paint So after...

A bit more work been done to the clio over the past few days, safe to say i never want to go through the bother of removing that foam padded sound deadening behind the dash 😂 What a mare that was getting the lower dash out and then re fitted. Whilst i was under there though i tidied up the...

Thanks alot, Appreciate that. I have a quick write up done on here. https://cliosport.net/threads/inferno-track-car-build.836758/#post-12067106

In all honesty i was questioning my self the same thing whilst doing it. But to be honest I have seen it done on other cars and thought it was quite smart looking. I will however be heat taping the underside of the intake plenum and also round the air filter area once i change my set up.

Spent a bit of time on the car today mostly wasted trying to solve an issue with the rain light which is currently unresolved 🙈 Put the recharged battery back on and started the car. Turned on the rain light and was nice and bright, working brilliantly. So decided to tidy up the rear wiring...

So small bit of progress made today on the Clio. Finally managed to find the time to go round to the garage and get the car outside for a change. Unfortunatly the battery was basically dead, so car had to be pushed. Also has a flat tyre but no biggie got that re inflated. With the car...

My usual go to old game is Medieval 2 total war on the pc. Brilliant game.

I might end up going down that route mate. It seems less hassle 😂 Daves also sent me pics of exactly what wire to connect too etc. Ach ill get round too it.

Havent made any progress on the Clio lately, Issue at the moment is trying to find a suitable way to run the rear rain light off the front foglights. (Sounds strange i know) Basically my thinking is. The wiring for the front fogs is currently unused as the fogs are obviously removed but they...

Thanks Dave! Wish I took the time to document the progress when i actually bought the car, would have been more informative and indepth Well your too thank for that one mate! If you didnt invite me to track nights and give me tips on track day driving i probably would still be sitting in club...

So got a chance today to fit the rain light. Quite pleased with how its turned out. Also might keep it in the black plastic. Seems to contrast well and tie in with the livery. Had to cut some metal away from the bootlid to get the actual light to fit through. Next step is now to spend a...

Got round to fitting the painted scuttle panel. Looks like the wipers will be coming back off 😂 They look grey as hell compared. Also done a bit of heat tapeing Bay needs loads of tlc. Really been neglected through last year.

Had my rain light for a good while now and never really had anywhere to fit it. So after a quick search on google a clio popped up with the same one. Made this quick mock up before i butcher the inferno one. Think its turned out quite well 👌🏁 Just a prototype mock up, The one that will be...

Also got the scuttle panel all sprayed up too ready for refitting

Going to be changing the interior up a bit and giving it a general tidy up. Made a start with the dash trims. Thought seeing as the shift knob is white and so are the recaro emblems and stickers on the side mounts. White will be the colour to go for. Annoyingly the cage and brace were already...

With the car nearly sitting all of 2019 due to being on furlough it needs some tlc so as from now posts will be updated. Was just a quick thread from when bought to now. Theyre is probably loads i have missed but the pictures do the talking really only other thing thats worth mentioning are the...

Since the livery was done I sprayed the mirror surrounds gloss black as they were faded same with the grills And upto now thats pretty much it. I have another big list of things that need done that i am currently doing. So the clio is now tucked away in the garage. Ar the moment i have a...

Now seei g as its going to be a track car i decided a livery was a good idea. Now i spenr ages trying to pick a design i liked. Also one od ne capable of doing. I like to do things on a budget. So I seen pictures online of the old x65 cup racers and i absolutely loved the design! So gave it...

Couple more pics of the exhaust

Now the dual exhaust with the diffuser looked gash so it was now time for a custom exhaust. Massive weight saving and looks 100x better!! Also sounds great but ill need to find out how to upload videos. Also added a front tow eye and rear chassis mounted tow strap Next purchase...
