How did you fill it? Was the car level then?

Always check the level cold.

Me too as it happens.

Anyone interested in entering this at knockhill this year. Its Scotland's very own time attack series. http://www.trackscotland.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5363 Hopefully my car will be ready and I'll give it a go.

:quiet:

Good stuff mate, I'll get your leads back to you then. ;)

A mate said about this and I was going to take the scooby on until he said it was only 2wd. So we are taking his FD2 Type r and another mates E92 M3 on. If anyone is going, we'll see you there.

They are good but it's not just the turbo that will give off heat so you will need some nimbus to shield from the downpipe and manifold anyway.

The alternator and ps pump were the only things used from the n/a engine and they let the turbo lump down! :(

Not made my mind up on boxes yet TBH and also current funds with a new baby has put it to the back burner. A diff is on the cards but will probably go O2M with a quaife and get the scoff treatment done DIY of course.

Never really timed it due to not wanting to push it too hard, passengers on every session and then the alternator packing in. Forgot as well, you'll have a diff and I wont so that'll give me and boost even more satisfaction beating n/a. lol

That's exactly where I'll be when the car is sorted. 63secs before with 170hp so fingers crossed. :race:

Hopefully very soon and then everyone will agree that turbo power is for men and na is for little boys. :p

Turbo all the way! :rasp:

Have you had the tracking done after fitting?

Mines still going strong (touch wood) after 1 track day and about 2k miles of testing.

You'd be better using a 172/182 block with a megane internals and head.

Love the car but it looks like its been primed with no paint IMO.

Cheers mate, appreciate that. There will be some good updates in a few weeks when the new bits are being fitted. I left the standard ecu in place to control clocks ect and used an adaptronic ecu piggy backed up to it to control everything else. Scoff at EFI parts did the wiring and mapping for...

Lol :D Main thread is on here of course. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?573987-172-Cup-track-toy!/page10

Re: 172 Cup track toy! Did the 225 conversion last year but changing the setup now to a gt2860rs. Getting the cage fitted next weekend then the engine is coming out. Yeah, Borheed mate. You're just down the road. Need to take you out for a spin when it's finished. ;)

You need corrugated tubing as used on the original. I just removed mine carefully and reused it. Works fine.

I thought the plastic pipe had to be very flexible. That looks rigid.

Give it a wee lube if it doesn't slip straight in.:rasp:

Old one will be fine.

I've heard of a few people losing wheels on track when the wheel bolts have been torqued up correctly but the heat in the hub has loosened them off and the wheel has overtaken them going into the hairpin. It happened to me when I used wheels that had been powder coated on the hub face. Wheel...

Wheel bolts not torgued correctly?

Very good work mate. I've got a farmer mate and he's the same with sheds and doing all the work himself. Still very jealous to the stage I know want to be a farmer so I can have a shed like that.

Very jealous of the workshop mate, you are a lucky man! Good job on the pipe work too. PTFE tape should have been fine. Did you use enough and tighten them up enough? Is the workshop at your house on somewhere else?
