Can't make my mind up on the Sunday bumpers? Wheels would look good in black.

Loads of threads on this subject.

​Which way?

Not starting an argument, maybe personal preference but I took advice from various sources including Turbo Dynamics so thought I'd pass on the research I did when I was doing my first conversion. Agree the coolant is moving but the syphon effect will have less air flowing through the turbo so...

I used nimbus too but used this also for a bit of added protection.

Glad you got your car back safe and sound. Brakes issue is a strange one. Were they working fine before the conversion? Sounds like something is not right since you rotated it or the heat from the down pipe has melted a seal. What heat shielding have you went for? I ended up wrapping the...

What you're seeing is expansion and air pushing coolant around not syphoning as you can syphon with an air gap at the top of the header tank. Laws of physics unfortuately.

Speak to Wayne (W33BRL) as he has just bought some fittings for this purpose or get some forge or samco hoses.

So as I said above then?

I wouldn't do this as you don't get the syphon effect when the engine is off. This is when you want the coolant to work as the oil will cool it when the engine is on. Best place for me is from the heater matrix. If you have forge or samco hoses it is very easy as you take it from the bypass...

When you say you've cleaned the idle control valve, what exactly did you do?

They would only collapse on the suction side of turbo if they were too flimsy but 3 or 4 ply silicone is the stuff to go for. More likely to blo them off at the joints unless they have swaged ends.

I got mine from Renault. £20 for the big end set.

Looks a good build Andy. Looking forward to the updates! ​ Why would they collapse when they are pressurised?

The slider is pulling the other side caliper for the front pad. If it didn't, you'd only wear the rear pad out.

Here's the one I use. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Universal-14-355-mm-Radiator-Electric-Cooling-Fan-Slimline-Front-or-Rear-Mount-/160970812281?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item257a9bab79

Whats the big deal with bonnet pins? Youd need to use very short trumpets which defeats the potential torque gains and makes them very expensive for the performance gains.

Do ecotune do install and mapping of standalone ecu's? Thought they only did generic reflashes. Another vote for Russ at PHQ. Very good name for Subaru and evo mapping but can do Omex too.

​This.

172 Cup has widest track of all 1*2's.

Sometimes these things are worth travelling for. Andy will sort you out for sure!

True. :)

Think its 37.5 and 43 but again, I may be wrong.

You sure it's not 5.5mm per side?

Ill take yours on track then and use it for what it is made for! Lol His new boosted Clio.

Unless lowered, you should be fine.

Agree 100%!

Clioturbo day should be at a trackday somewhere as that's what these things should be built for. ​Guess he's sorting out some niggles before posting up?

Is it a secret? I love knowing a secret. ;)

I don't see a problem with a 31 year old owning a 1.4 Clio. Each to their own and all that and if it works for you then fair play. I do however find it baffling that you'd want to modify it to make it no faster and just make people ask why would you do that.
