Not sure on your coil problem (seems pretty unrelated unless they have done something to the wiring getting the headers out) but welding it with a sick welder is classic!

Mine went straight in the rollers and seems to make ok power! You'll need a mineral/break in oil which you can change once tuned. But as mentioned before probably best to follow your engine builders instructions.

Manifold competed. As with so many things on this car got lucky with space and turbo fits perfectly. Next, weld new intake and exhaust pipes, make up water, oil and breather lines, relocate expansion and breather tanks.

Cheers! Yeah, setup is crucial. Boost by gear & throttle position, wide rubber, lsd etc all bring it together. That car in the vid looks aweful to drive (not to mention the drivers poor handwork!). Unfortunately the car is in Australia so little chance of making it out to any UK tracks.

Out with the log manifold and in with some tubes! New mani cut and tacked today. Twin scroll Borg Warner EFR7163 to go on top. Like it needs more power but as my engine builder says "I never met a horsepower I didn't like"!

Although I encourage work to be done at home, brakes (please note the spelling) might be something you want to get someone to assist you with for the first time (which I assume it is from the questions) being a critical safety component. To answer your questions, you should be ok with those...
Probably is on a normal Clio but this car is significant wider and running on 255's which can chew standard wheel bearings in a day or two - there is a lot of twisting force there - in saying that it is stiff! Think grippy rubber on the back will be just right - only one way to find out!

Rear beam installed along with PMS arb and upgraded stub axle/disc/bearing kit. Also through some Hankook Z221's on the front - great tyre for sure, every bit as good as the DZ03.
Got out to Wakefield again - managed to find myself facing the wrong direction a couple of times with the new...
Cheers!
Work in finance so not much overlap there! Always been mechanically inclined and I figure if someone else can do it why can't I!

PMS strengthened beam along with their upgraded stub axle kit with larger bearings and ARB. On track next weekend....

As mentioned the abs rings on the cup shafts I had were about twice the width as to sit far enough across to line up with the sensor on the cup hubs so i used the cup rings - same number of teeth.

When I moved to 60mm hubs I just subbed in the abs rings (which are double width). Everything else remained the same although my car is widened (and was so on the 54mm hubs too) so I can't be 100% for a stock car.

If you're running the stock meg turbo then the ED downpipe will not fit (it's made for a log manifold onto a T25 style turbo). Unfortunately being is Aus my recommendations for shafts are not useful! Good luck.

Good as I have. Note you will need to cut the existing guards if you want to fit bigger wheels. At the time I had them I was running a 255/40/17 upfront and 225/45/16 on the rear.

eBay! They are universal plastic ones - they go in pretty easily (although I did cut the guards under them for clearance.

We only have 2 tracks in Sydney! Intend to try my hand at Phillip Island again as well although that's a 22 hour investment to travel there and back!

Cheers. Yeah, it sounds worse than it is but still fiddling to get it setup - front and rear were at full for that run.

Video from today at Wakefield Park.
Got black flagged for 96bd. Quick trip to the exhaust shop and I was back with a new resonator and just over 90db! Also collapsed another rear bearing - have ordered the upgrade stub axle/disc/bearing from PMS. Ordered their rear beam stiffening and sway...
Oh, and I'd like to think it is getting close to done but I am sure there are a bunch of things I will come up with!

Haha, yeah, it's a nice part of the world!
Control arms are about 40mm wider than stock and also shift wheel further forward (more caster). A little over engineered but better that than a failure!
Bolts are not threaded into the hubs. No issues thus far but will consider if required.
