How I did my dash 2 speed pick up , simply picks up on the driveshafts bolts. If you have clearance you could put a clip around the inner joint and use that as a pick up or as Gary says use the old abs point. How is your kill switch wired is it the ECU ignition switch or direct through your coil.

Yes mate due our first one mid Oct , that's why i'm pushing to get my car done to at least get a few trackdays out of it beforehand.

WOW congrats Neil :) Looks like that will be two green clios parked up next year while we get on with the next stage of life .

Wow dream spec ? Do you know what ignition cut delay you are running for the flat shift. We played it safe at 110ms on mine but have hear of people using as low as 80.

I did have a larger Brian James but like you say storage was an issue as my garage isn't very deep. One thing i did like with it was the low level tyre rack as it aloud you to work on the car while on the trailer , with a high level you cant open the bonnet.

It will fit but very tight width wise at the front depending on wheel offset , my tyres basically touch at both sides. If your lucky you can also get them with a folding hitch which saves more space when its in storage. It tows behind my X3 brilliantly even with spare wheels in the rack.

That would explain why i have slightly less issues with bonnet clearance on the filter :)

Well things didnt go to plan today but in a good way I guess. After changing the injectors to qure the low down stutter , I wanted the map checked. Instantly the AFR was different ,so started to adjust the map and re scale the TPS to give good low down throttle control. The car was making less...

Had the car in for alignment today took it to a local place I've used in the past with a hunter machine, so haven't had it weighed or corner weighted justnow. Looks like the cup racer lower arms dont give any more static caster than the regular cup road car ones, they just have a uprated bush...

Good post alot of useful info in there . The mounts have the engine at the same height but it is mounted to the subframe , guess this is to help with the shift on the sequential gearbox and also makes it quicker to remove the engine by dropping the subframe.

Think that's the car now ready for alignment. Eventually got the dash2 set up with all sensors working and speedo pick up fitted. I still have to calibrate the fuel sensor but the tank is full justnow.

Little more done today with a v band and flexi fitted to the manifold. Badly need to re do the heat lagging on the bottom section of the manifold. But the exhaust now seals up well and little less vibration in the car.

Hi Scott yip out on the 3rd to give it a run but will be more of a test/shakedown. It's not much of a change but the actual bush design is better so will have less play. Cup top Cup racer bottom The inside as it sits justnow , but if anyone knows of a lhd dash top. I have a plan for the inside

What finish were they Craig always liked them on tour car

Black 1.2's Silver sparco chronos

I fitted one of the cup racer lower arms tonight to the passenger side. Without getting a before and after alignment I wouldn't say there looks to be a big change to the caster over my old polybushed cup bottom arm. I do think they may be slightly longer though. Before After

The new owner LOVES a phase 1

Yeh it give a good bit more room. I did think about chopping out the frame work on the inner wing , but decided to keep it so could put a standard engine/box back in if needed.

I would guess it was done on the cup cars to ease engine removal and also clear access for working in the bay. Plus with the sequential box you really need the engine solid mounted To drop the engine its now probably a 25 min job once the car is in the air.

Decided the engine bay needed a bit more colour.

I got it as part of a group buy on fb , sorry I cant mind who made them.

Balanced the bodies this morning with a syncrometer. Took the car for a quick test run and still a stutter at 2k but then it pulls clean and really revs with the gearing. 7000 rpm flat shifts :cool::cool::love::love: Gave the car its first wash in over a year.

I'm not sure Zach but looking at the mounting points I think it should increase is a fair bit. May fit them tomorrow so will get before and after pics, the car still needs alignment aswell.

Got my ECU back from Omex after a firmware update, plugged it in and straight away the revs and water temp were working on the dash. Plans for this week is to pull it off the trailer , balance the bodies and see if it cures the power dip at 2000rpm. If that doesn't work I going to switch the...

Looks very clean , an ideal start to a project. Did the shell come with the dash top ? I noticed on FB when Chris had parts up that it had a Sadev gear display .

Sad to hear Andy but sounds like it's for the best. Get the fancy bits sold off, spend a weekend putting a standard loom and engine back in and enjoy the summer in the car. Let's face it the way things are going with clios , in a few years a decent standard car will be worth more and be more...

I dont sorry i just made it to shape around the manifold out of some Nimbus sheet.

Yes having no mounts or fusebox in the way makes access easy I just wish I had a bulkhead multi plug on the engine harness as would make taking the engine and box out a 20 min job as its all on the subframe.
