Oh and the cage colour is easy... black :)

Got matched inlets at the mo and group n timing doesn't work on a boosted motor. I'm in 2 minds as i don't want to lose the delicacy of the NA motor but also very aware i can throw a few grand at it and have very little extra NA return. The RS2 is also something i've been looking at but i see it...

Ha, I've been looking at the offerings from @Tom Johnson (Fulcrum Motorsport). He seems to do a lovely job but as my car isn't a race car it would have to have very high levels of fit and finish to put a rear cage in it. Hopefully that can be achieved. Tom has already said he could make it fit...

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTT!!!!!!??? Lol, actually its not bad. Tyre noise from the 888s is the worst aspect. The exhaust is on grams mounts which transmit very little to the "speaker" that is the boot floor. Ive only driven to work in it so far but ive already found that my rear...

Thanks chap, like most of the good bits, you could buy another 182 with what they cost, but the Pole Positions are worth their money all day. Undecided at the mo if i go for a rear cage or just a boot net as per the Golf Clubsport S. As long as the level of finish is that of an OEM or near OEM...

So finally nabbed some time to fit the black seatbelts and remove the rear bench. Black belts are standard equipment in almost all cars yet i really think they look better in here. The rear bench was never used even with the OEM seats in place, and absolutely cannot be accessed with the Pole...

Not another Clio price witch hunt? Lets talk down the value of our cars some more :(

Wow, to see it on its wheels again must be a huge accomplishment Steve. Agreed its too low and it wont drive very nice either at that height. Massive well done on getting this far, it looks superb :)

Wouldn’t entertain GAZ myself. AST4100s currently on for around for not much over your budget and are vastly superior construction in every way. @Simon@ASTUK can you help this man. 🙂👍🏼

Lots to consider mate. I’ve many things to consider first what way I go with it, if at all.

Now I know what my bay would look like with a turbo lol. Looks great. 😎👌🏼

Even if you said the box was £10k and it’s got £5k of ECU, dash and control panel, £5k dampers. I can’t see the glovebox but there must be £20k cash in it. 😅👌🏼

All very valid points Ash, and having well trodden the big power road car route, its a slippery slope. NA, as you say provides all the theatre of that induction hammer and that zingy fizz to the redline. ITBs don't really interest me on a daily as i want to keep my AC, cruise etc, so if i were...

Pleased to say this morning starting and idle was perfect and back to the usual but still somewhat grumbly standard Clio sport idle. No misfire or hesitation at all and feel like it pulls much smoother and cleaner throughout. Not sure if maybe a plug was starting to go or what, but certainly...

So she’s started getting grumpy on cold start and developed a cold misfire that clears within a few hundred yds. Only on cold start, so wonder if this is an injector or temp sender going down. She’s knocking on 125k now so either way I thought she could use a fresh set. So fitted 4 new plugs...

Looks superb. Alex’s work is excellent and have nothing but praise for his work and business. Excited for you Ash, I’m struggling to think of a better modified Trophy. 🙂👌🏼

Well mine were for my 182 and bought a genuine one for the OS and the B&B for the NS. I think the B&B item was every bit as good quality as OEM and certainly much nicer than the crap Pagid branded ones that don’t fit. These are the Pagid items and you can see how much shorter they are than OEM...

Nearside you want the Borg and Beck BKB3049

Bloody cheek! 🤣

Just had my black set back from him. 👌🏼

Looking great mate. Only again today was I thinking about turbo conversions 😅

AC rad is attached to the main cooling radiator via 4 brackets. These brackets are riveted to the AC condenser and over time wear from vibration and can get loose. I imagine this is the movement you're seeing.

Obviously its not just a "drop in" unit and you have no doubt had to overcome a significant amount of roadblocks to get this far. However from those last images, the motor sits in there really well. Well done :)

Clio lol

Got a brand new boxed set of 97s in the for sale section if you’re interested.

Actually the OEM brakes on the Cayman are probabaly it’s weakest link. I run larger 345/335mm 2 piece discs from Girodisc, titanium shims, braided hoses, GT3 master cylinder and GT3 blade ducts. To go much more on brakes now it’s a step up to an AP kit. Both cars have been used on track.

PFZ I found were nothing like any of their other compounds and were kind of their way of offering a road useable compound. They’re okay for the money but not comparable to their other pads in terms of performance. I too have used them as a rear pad in the Impreza, fine on the road but was left...

I find 29s go off if they’re not being used hard enough often enough and take a bit of a pasting before they come back again. I know what you mean though, they don’t have that instant axle snapping of a Carbon Metallic pad. But I prefer the feel having slightly less grab. Probably because I...

I’ll see how I go, Pagid said they wouldn’t be horrific for what I wanted. But if I find they’re eating discs and wheels, perhaps I’ll swap to 29s on the rear too. The 29s are easily my favourite pad that I’ve ever used for performance, disc life and non corrosive dust.

Yeah, I might take them of and throw them away. Because weight saving bro!
