Rebuilt 182 box with Quaife. I’ll get some videos soon ?

Cheers. It’s G-Plus thermostat controlled one, think it was around £100 from eBay or Amazon. It’s fine mate, well it has been so far ?

Coolant or oil? Oil got up to around 90 earlier on quick 15min drive. Coolant sat in middle of standard gauge like normal. It’s the fuel gauge that moves the most ?

Done 500 miles now, sandwich plate and oil cooler fitted with oil pressure/temp sensors. Bumper modified to allow lots of air through. Borrowed a mates cup alternator setup while I source my own.

More grip and sooner for track use, more wear for road use. They advertise them 90% track 10% road

Yeah I’m pretty sure it says Motorsport Use only or something similar on the sidewall. I’ve got another set of wheels with PS3’s I was using as wets so they’ll do for the road. Went for a trip to Snetterton today for the time attack, car feels pretty quick for 1bar of boost, pulls away from my...

In other news.. I bought some tyres to help with traction, was going to go for full slicks but the rules for Snetterton say you must have a FIA approved cage, although mine is approved it’s only a rear cage which seems a bit of a grey area at the moment. In the end I went for the next best...

Good to meet you to mate, hope you had a good day. I was going to do a 15min session between the Time Attack on Sunday but until it’s had the boost limited in the lower gears there’s no point as it’s absolutely useless at the moment.

Haha! Cheers buddy, still more to come hopefully ?

I bought the laser one as I’ll only use alloy rivnuts, if your planning on steel ones or using it a lot I’d agree with bloke and but a decent one. The sealey, burger and laser ones are the same just a different colour I bought mine from Epic Tools £22 as it’s only round the corner from me...

One Rivnut gun later .. Still need to finish up the wiring around it, would have liked the foot rest back an inch or so but very limited by the slope of the floor.

Just read your whole thread, awesome work! Pretty sure I remember your Ibiza from SCN. I was a regular on there a few years ago with my mk1 Leon’s.

This was my first thought to but I don’t have a rivnut gun and don’t want to buy one just for 2 nuts.

My washer bottle was leaking last week, must be a Clio thing ? If there’s any more local meet ups let me know mate I’m finally on the road again.

Passenger foot rest, looks a b*****d to fit without welding some nuts to the floor as it’s double skinned one side and big gap between the skins

Ahh! I only went up to put a few more miles on it, didn’t go round. Let me know if you go there again and I’ll come join you if I’m free.

Was your mate in the blue 172? Hope he had a good day . There was a black 182 on throttle bodies to, think he’s also a member.

All run in now, hopefully get the oil changed and fit oil cooler at weekend, seems very impressive so far at 1 bar of boost ? Got my gauges fitted, will get some proper pics when dark.

Around 1.3 bar on track hopefully.

Got my MOT and done my first 100miles of running in tonight, fitted my new header tank to. If anyone has a cup alternator setup for sale please let me know.

Hopefully be on the road before the weekend @T9 0LLE ? Beeen getting car ready for MOT and generally tidying things up over the last few days, modified inlet manifold to accept a 2.5 bar megane 225 MAP sensor then spliced a megane plug into my Clio loom, much better now it has a bolt in sensor...

Doesn’t look that fast but certainly feels like it’s gonna move ?

Cheers buddy! It’s only running a bar of boost at the min (actuator pressure) spent a bit of time checking everything is ok with AFR‘s etc, everything looks good so had a little blip up to 5k earlier. I’ll put small vid up in a min.

Easy it’s not in the way of that, it’s pretty much in the way of everything else tho ?

It’s 2.5” I’ll check the bends next time I’m there, some are not standard lengths some are a lot longer then normal, there’s some unusual bends in there to. Put it all back together earlier. Gauges next.

First little drive, only 3500-4K on actuator pressure.

Had a few teething problems but it’s in and running. Completed a 20min break in with the millers running in oil, dropped that out and replaced with the same oil to do a 500 mile run in, just need to mot it now. Managed to get a 3” intake in, made a massive increase in torque to my mates so...

Couple of gauges to keep an eye on things. SPA Design Oil temp and pressure plus a AEM wideband.

Cheapest I could find was just over £800 don’t think there as popular as they used to be due to the GTX versions now available.
