Thanks mate 😊

Thanks mate. Kit is Ok/questionable in my eyes. If you wanted to get one together quick it’ll be perfect. The gearbox/chassis mount is 5mm think and the chassis leg is like 1mm box section, so welding the together was hard work. Glad I got someone to do it rather than me. Exhaust manifold is...

Thanks mate 👍🏻🍻

Loved my RS2. I also went for grpN timing

So you using 1*2 block, ph1 large port head, 197 cams and pistons? What about 197 crank and rods?

Anyone know of anywhere near the midlands to have a custom NA exhaust manifold made?

Thanks mate. Can’t wait for it to be done, feels like the major jobs are done now. Just wiring and full exhaust left 🙄😂😂😂

K20 powered 172 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

Thanks mate 😊 Yeah 8s all round and yeah I’m sure they are one of the only wheels to fit but I run/or will be running a spacer 😂

How do I get the title of the thread changed?

More progress

Progress.

This is what’s happening to my build 😂 I love the build as much as driving it so wouldn’t change it but.... I do look back to my RS2 spec and think I should of left it 😂 reliability is key to enjoyment of track days and I think the RS2, EFi map and quafie diff is a really good achievable base...

I second the RS2 inlet. I sold the RS2 and went ITBs and wish I didn’t tbh

Need a friendly mot tester 😉

Pushed the Clio out the garage and rinsed off the dust and started the tear down ready for some progress to start 😆

You know what’s like, constant battle 😂 I’m happy it’s found the ground and everything looks ok so far. Once I can push it out I’ll know more.

Thanks bud 👍🏻

Few milestones achieved recently. Finally got the thermostat and bottoms coolant hose sorted with clearance from the rad. Brakes are sorted hopefully now as the discs were hard up against the calipers on the inner section. Wheel studs are loctited on and torqued up. And it’s back on...

@Paulstewart20 Here you go mate

Good work 👍🏻 Might look at this myself. Much weight save over the OE setup with passenger wiper arm on the drivers side you reckon?

Still Problem solving. Would be easier if I wasn’t being stubborn and used a normal Clio rad 😂 Anyway to gain clearance on the stat housing and fans I’ve had to buy 2 more fans, this time push fans so I can mount them on the front of the rad rather than rear. I still wasn’t sure this would...

NA and abuse is my plan. To start with 🙄😂

Handy to know for the future 😉 What offsets where they?

When I ordered my brakes and wheels from PMS I was debating 7j or 8j 15s. Nick reckon 8j need a little work to stop catching if I remember correctly, along with offsets and camber playing apart. I went 7j in the end but mainly because the 8j wheels were along wait time 😂. Once mines built I’ll...

What’s it like? And how safe do you feel under it? I’ve been looking at mid raise scissor lifts as I sell them through work but this maybe an option as they take up less room.

More info on the jack needed 👌🏻 Brakes look good 👍🏻

Gotta have a laugh 😂

Faffed around with the boot for an hour or so today working out why it would never close flush. Turns out the rubber seal/the inner part of the boot clearance wasn’t right resulting in some of the seal being chopped. Got all the pins and buttons lined up and it shuts much better. Just need...

Banged my Ricky Evans heated screen in along with the new rubbers. Wasn’t as bad as I thought actually was worried doing it on my own but turned out easy. Also ordered new Pitking push button releases for the boot as I don’t think I can get aero catches to work with the current holes cut.
