Have you done that just to make it all look neater, no difference in braking?

So now your just running the standard 172 cup braking system, but with the lines inside the car?

Haha I've seen worse wheels tbh

That does look great, I think £750 is pretty good for that type of quality.

What's the rrp on that? That would i'd buy if I was going to buy some bits

I don't know if this is really going to make a difference but having a hugely wide rad wil mean the alternator won't get as much cool air passing over it? Could cause alternator failures?

Oh right I didn't know that, having the engine off is even worse though isn't it because the engine keeps cooking. It happened to my formula student race car in Hungary last year.

But it sure will when you come in for the pit stop/driver change?

And thats what makes a project special when all the work is done by the owner. Sure there are some nice cars on here with work done by companies, but i'm possitive it feels a million time better when you do the work yourself, like i do :)

Absoulouty love that! Really like red cars :) What's it like to drive then?

But spending all that time building your own one and then not even racing it. Maybe after racing the car you've built 1st and then racing other cars after would be fine for me. I just can't wait to drive mine!!!

Yeah, all those hours spent on your car, blood sweat and tears and then to go race a different car :S

Oh i see, thanks for that info. I'm one fixing short which is a right pain, its the slightly bigger bit that i'm short :( Oh and get a bucket and sponge on that shell, its filthy!!! ;)

Tom, on the master cylinder is it the two openings closest to the servo that go to the front two wheels?

That little bar is what levels out the xeons lights when there is more weight in the boot, it's so you don't blind oncoming cars if you've got a dead body in you boot lol. The little bit that connects to the beam had broken on mine but it was cable tied on and it worked fine. What lights are you...

The usual plum in a manual bias valve like I was going to do doesn't work very well on clios. Burpspeed one did it and it allay had too much bias at the rears even tho the bias valve was set to send all the pressuse to the front. So as the 172 cup set up works I'm going to just use that. So...

Yes it will be piped up the same way as standard cup, I just need to find out which ports on the master cylinder go to the front wheels and which ones go to the bias valve

Oh right, so If I just plum the master cylinder and rear bias valve in then the brakes will be fine for the track?

Oh yeah forgot i took these pictures. Fitted the 172 Cup rear bias valve to the car the other day. I didnt realise that the headlight adjuster thing is in the way of where the cup bias valve is suppose to sit. So removed that and now have the vlave in its place. I fully dont understand how it...

Not an exciting update but I have bought the following: Heat Shrink for the engine loom Correct size bolts for front and rear Tow strap 2ltr's of Dot 5 brake fluid Forge Silicon Coolant hose kit - in black 180 degree bend to neaten up the heater matrix removal - in black 60mm Hole saw for...

Re: Cliosport Saturday - The Launch of a New Era Oh good. Well you never know ;) Might drive it up and down the car park at 10mph! lol Yeah i did read this but thought i would ask anyway. Might just get it finished by this event!

Are you going to be having gussets on the cage? Looks lovely upto now

Re: Cliosport Saturday - The Launch of a New Era So is the event a private off the road type of thing? I would probably bring my Clio but it will be on a trailor as its not road legal. So will i be able to drive my car off the trailor & park my car in the event somewhere?

Mike don't cut too much out, bonnet was too weak after my second cutting sesh. I did post a pic further back in the thread of what I cut out. I'll find you the pic tonight. dave I bought a 60mm one for the front numberplate bit. And I'll be doing the same to the boot where the plate used to go.

Re: Dave.'s Trumpeted Engine Spec, Cammed Up Gunit, 2118'd Carbon obsession I found the pads only kill paint & wheels when the dust stays on there for a long time. Whilst using the pads when I was living at home and I used to was my car so often that I had no problem with the pads. It was...

Re: Dave.'s Trumpeted Engine Spec, Cammed Up Gunit, 2118'd Carbon obsession If you havnt tryed a race pad you don't know how much better they perform over a good road pad like ds2500. One you have a race pad you can't go back to road pads as they are rubbish in comparison. Dave should have...

Get your car rolling roaded now and then build this new set up and thenget it rolling roaded again and you will see if it's any good. Could be good

The paint is VHT paint and I wanted it in in this colour as the cars colour scheme is matt black and silver. I bought the hoses for £158 posted so i think it's a fairly good price. Group buy could have been cheaper but it's All done now. Got a hole saw come soon so the bumper and possiably...

Oh spot on Wilky! That's just what I have been looking for. Thanks for that link :)

The kit does look nice! The only bad it is I will be chopping on of the pipes in half as I no longer run the heater matrix. I'm still looming for a pipe with a 180 deg curve to attach to the end of the cut pipe. Similar to what f0xy has done.
