Re: Project 172 Trophy Red Megane 225 Powered Heavy Track Car
Hi Guys,.
Sorry ive been working away!! last minute job so not had time to get on here either. I hope to get some updated this week its in for MOT monday :)
clio 172 Cup Friday in the Gateshead felling bypass, i was pissing my self laughing at the pops and bangs ;) K tec racing silver stickers down the side,
What exhaust do u have fitted??
Why use Rocket? Thats what Extra fast hardener is for, the Rocket was designed to use in Ovens before extra fast Hardener was available, Its horrible stuff that kills the finish as you stated. Id never use any thing less than C85 Laqure Balls to rocket :)
And these wont take a day to do, id...
nice project, The only thing that im going to say is that that rear window really lets the car down it looks GASH!!! Apart from that its a great track toy with lots of umphhh :) well done
Nick, Id imagine Ian will be doing the work him self :) I had a NA engine that when built cost close to £5000 plus the ITBS and the most we got out of it was 241Bhp
On the mk1 clio as in the 1991>1996 then the answer is yes, its fully possible, as steve says the hydraulic clutch arrangement, custom driveshafts, custom mounts etc.... will make it a task,
I decided when i fitted it to my car to keep the Jc5 not for ease but for the weight and the clutch...
