10" fan from eBay I believe, Cost £40 I think and workes perfectly well to cool the car. Others use the same set up

Can you not just get a bigger/longer silencer?

In my thread I posted up the info of the rad I use.

I've just ordered a set of forge silicone coolant hoses and bomber said he could do a group buy on them. Oh well, they should come soon so I can get on with filling the car up with fluid. I have also started making my brake lines and have ordered a load of bits to finish the car off :)

Bu**er I've just bought a set in black!!! Tut

My list was huge until recently and I've had some really productive days. You just need a few days like that and you'll feel better. When you out the subframe on it's all up hill from there :)

Oh hope it gets sorted. Possibly speak to rs fab about it and see what they could do! Surly there's lots more to do on the car. When I get fed up with one thing I take a break and do something :) which is why I havnt finished my loom :(

Both cars looking awesaum :)

Right so I have a new master cylinder, new brake fluid resiviour and completely new brake lines. So the whole system will be dry. How would you recommend bleeding the system? Would I try bleeding one brake at a time making sure the resiviour is allways full of brake fluid. Any thoughts...

Those tips look fancy. Much lighter than standard?

I really want the forge hose kit that you have. My standard hoses have gone a bit yellow :s

Looking good mate!

Car will be finished very soon, gona plum all the brakes tomorrow, so nearly there!

I'm not planning on putting it through an mot anymore. Getting a trailer are the car is finished and will be trailering it everywhere.

Yeah i quite like that too. Obviously would only ever work in a Baked Bean. :)

UPDATE: Had Friday off work and decided to do a little bit of work on the car as the weather was nice :) So first job was to find a place to mount my 13 row Mocal Oil cooler. after trying to place it in lots of areas of the slam pannle i decided to place it here... Still gets air flow...

My shorter radiator is from www.adrad.co.uk The rad is part number SE310 and its a VOLKSWAGEN POLO MK4 1.4 RADIATOR. which cost £40.07 posted to my door, could be slightly more due to the VAT increase!

Excelent result mate :) Could do with a shorter radiator though, looks very close to the filter, and the engine seems to move quite a bit. Are you running completly standard engine mounts?

I have a mk1 dash too, don't forget me!!! Lol

Bonnet looks good, never seen those wheels before. I assume your not using the 25mm spacers now? I personally wouldn't reshell it now. If you bin it at a trackday the. Maybe reshel it if it's bent! Have fun at the trackday tho mate

You can have my rad and brackets for £80 collected ;)

I'll find the paperwork for you Saturday

Sorry guys the link i had no longer works and i cant find the paperwork for the rad. I think it was actually a Seat rad, probably the same as the polo. this is the website i got the rad from. http://www.adrad.co.uk/car-radiator/ Tony can you remember which rad we both have?

The rad is from a VW polo. I can find you the link when I get home. Only cost £40 posted to my door. It's a little longer but loads shorter so it spot on but needs some little brackets making but pretty simple

Excellent build mate, always been a fan of the cars you build. Never quite understood how you make money out of them! Is this a business or a hobby?

If the sump was shallower the while bottom of the Clio could be flat, stupid sump been the lowest point :(

Sometimes i spend more time taking pics than actually doing the stuff to the car so that's why I sometimes can't be at**ed

Those brake fixings look mint. Wish I had done that now but I'm just doing kunfer pipe (think it's called that). Do you know how much brake fluid the 172 cup system will take? I need to order some dot 5 and am not sure how much to order

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project Nice leads ;) I found that the cam cover never really looks clean even after its been degreased fully. It sort of gets stained by the cr"p on it. So a quick spray of paint will make it look a million times neater.

Black calipers with the AP racing bit in Orange. (think your gettin AP callipers)
