Managed to give the wishbones a lick of paint, planning on doing the rear beam to match with new lines etc.

What do you think of it? I really like mine.

Looks nice mate, amazing how all the little details make such a big difference :smile:

My AEM management and HKS boost controller turned up today :smile:

Same to you buddy! Same here I doubt I’ll do much this year to be honest.

Had a delivery of a different nature last week. :smiley: Not been doing a lot on the car for obvious reasons, ordered a few little bits and bobs, will update and do bits as and when I can.

Baby be here any day so things will stop for a bit soon. Earlier I fitted my new alternator only to find out it doesn’t bloody work :rage: so off the road at the minute until I can get a different one.

Looks awesome! What car cover is that?

Some nice changes here, looks really good mate :cool:

I’ve lost the plot with this a little 🙈 I’ll now be going mid boost using a fuel injection controller and a boost controller, probably switchable between 230 and 270hp which should move it along nicely :kissingsmiling: Just bought this, should be here in next few days. Also bought a...

Few more bits turned up, mocked up cold side of intercooler pipework. Also got some cup wishbones, gave them a clean up ready for paint.

Oil cooler turned up today, 80deg thermostat opening and take offs for turbo feed and gauge.

More parts turned up today, low mileage 225 pistons and rods. I know the rods are the same as mine so will prob use these with ARP bolts.

Ordered a 182 flat boot floor today, got my water and oil lines for turbo sorted, one side of my intercooler pipework sorted and my fuel return lines to. Slowly getting there :smile:

Awesome shot! Cars coming along nicely :cool:

Few pics from last weeks track day

I noticed a massive difference with my roll bar to, you’ll love it!

Tested out our corner weighting scales today, Car weighs in at 897kg and 965.8kg with me in it. Cross weights very close to 50%

Track day was great, titanium shims worked brilliantly with no fade at all. Diff was incredible. My alternator packed up half way through the day but we were able to swap it with my mates 172 who unfortunately destroyed his engine in the morning. Got a few videos, not the fastest Clio there but...

Removed my hydraulic power steering today, used the PMS pulley kit. Changed gearbox oil and bled brakes again ready for track day in few hours.

Made some titatanium pad shims, will test them out on next track day. They have already reduced brake squeal massively. Had to remove the 'High Temperature' paint after it got hot, bubbled up and went black :rage:

As @M.C.. says I've got Gaz Golds, very happy with them.

I went from k-tec mounts to PMS, couldn't actually notice any difference apart from the KTec ones come with a nicer top plate if you don't have a strut brace. Luckily the holes were in the correct place so fitted straight in.

I see what your saying James, just googled it and the first 2 things that come up show how to fit harnesses to a harness bar like mine? http://www.doubledgarage.com/?p=2925 It is a proper harness bar made from CDS by a company that makes cages? Looks and feels extremely solid to me. I can...

Fitted my cameras today and got my track wheels ready for next week.

Really? Nearly all the pics on google have the harnesses attached to the bar? I can mount them behind that's no problem but none of the marshalls have ever said nothing at a track day? I'll look into it as don't fancy dying :laughing:

Cheers, there the 16mm hubcentric spacers from JJC race & rally on eBay.

That's not bad at all, are they the cup spec ones with the added caster?

How much were the genuine wishbones mate? Thinking of getting a pair in the future.

Cheers buddy, things will slow down a lot now as baby do in next few weeks. I'll do bits as and when time and money allow :smile:
