I tidied up wiring loom today, mounted the switch for EPAS adjustment on the steering coloum along with the traction control switch. The wires on the fooor are the airbag system, not sure if I'm removing these or not.
Gave it a quick clean
Next up is turbo manifold and intercooler.
Sooo .. I was going to fit a TTV flywheel with my gearbox as I planned to get a SM inlet and cat cams, this has now changed as I couldn't justify the cost for such a small gain. 3 of our 5 clios have turbos so this was the obvious route to go down.
On Wednesday evening I ordered the first...
Just went for my first proper drive since fitting the diff last night, all I can say is wow!! Makes so much difference on the road, can't wait to try it out on the track.
I'll have another update later hopefully :grin:
So ... knocked myself up some polycarbonate windows, there all in now.
Got a CM Composites rear cup spoiler, painted and fitted that along with some led brake lights, only weighs 1kg
Removed some unused brackets from the rear, sealed and painted.
Lightened the doors, removed...
I just spoke to the bloke making the newer ones (the Facebook one) he's saying there £700 including shipping and 50 units will be ready in 20 days time.
Gods honest truth it was as fast as the GT3 RS down the back straight, they sat side by side! Not as fast round the bends tho.
I'm not sure mate, baby due in few weeks, still have my other cars that I need to sell. We will see ....
Hi mate. I think I'll have to at some point, the yellow one is now about 370hp and 440lbft, the lad that helped get your wheel off now has everything bar management for his turbo conversion, rob now has a phase1 with a 225 megane engine to put in so im getting a bit left behind 🙈😂
My mates is more comfortable on the road and still performs well on track, if you want them for road and track I'd get the BC's, for track only I'd get the Golds.
I'm not sure I can make that @Greeny. would have been good to meet up but can't justify 3 track days this month unfortunately.
In other news ...
Changed my roof decals, EMS is my mates garage Elite Motor Services, all our clios are prepared there.
Tried my wets on, can't put the centres on...
Hey buddy, still had a little bit of understeer however I think it's down to me not chucking the car hard enough into the corners, with a bit more confidence I'll go harder into the corners loading the suspension up creating more grip.
If i bought them again I'd prob go slightly softer on the...
I did another track evening last week, they seem very good. I was a bit worried about the rears being to stiff but the back was amazing, felt very planted. I did have a bit of understeer mid and exit of corners but I'm hoping to overcome this by stifining the rear up a bit more, may even raise...
Done a few laps at Snetterton last night, spent most the time adjusting new coilovers, not really a great lap but faster then this M3, surprised it didn't pull away on the straight.
