121mph GPS in my 1.4 RT Yet to do a topspeed run with the new engine

the points i use on the front are 2 beams that come from the subframe area, and go towards the back of the car, just under a foot in from the sill. Axle stands seem the perfect size to hold at that point, and ive not had any problems yet with using that

A couple of members on here have done this extra mount, one of them being Nick Read, the guy with the valver turbo, so it sounds like it fits. Ive looked at my subframe and the holes for where it bolts through are there also. Doubt it would take very long to fit it either, 30 minutes max...

you can also get a mount from the R19, which bolts to the gearbox and subframe, stops alot of movement Ive circled which one it is http://www.steven-petersen.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/r19mount.jpg

yea, the camber has been sorted with some new shocks, basically got sent the wrong shocks, that fitted perfectly, and were stamped up with the right part number etc. Cant afford to go through tyres like it did when them shocks were first on... 500 miles from new to wrecked. As for the...

Not ready to start quoting figures yet, atleast wait until its on the road etc... but i do have a few things to do to it still, after its run in etc :devilish: Thanks for the comment clart :) Suprised i havent had the "Shouldve scrapped it instead" and the "You should drive it into a...

the engine is out of a volvo 400 series, its basically an RSi engine with a turbo strapped to it. But alot of things need bodging to make it fit, as ive found it. Im not a mechanic, am an electronics engineer. Have learnt all this just by diving in and getting on with it. Would love to be a...

Had a few requests about info and pics of my car... so thought id share it with everyone... My car started off as a standard 1.4 RT 5 door, got given it from a friend who had just had the top end rebuilt due to the cambelt snapping at around 6000rpm. He said it wasnt reliable enough to get...

nice one mate :) think you should change the wiper arm to a black one, theres a guy on ebay that sells single wiper kits, and he sells the parts for them aswell :) Im gonna get one soon, once ive got some spare cash

The leather will fit. For the backs, your better off using your original clio rear benches, and wrapping the leather around it to fit

You have to use the runners from your original clio seats on the 2 fronts, then on the back bench you can either modify it to fit, or just use your old clio bench, and attach the leather and foam to it

2 too many doors. No-one modifies 5 doors

its the whole front end setup for a megane RS

rag the sh*t out of it, your not keeping the car forever, and youve got warrentee anyway Im sure the few miles it had on the clock when you got it werent taken below 3000rpm lol

All the best Nick, The big meets/shows ive been to show just how much hard work youve put into organising. Thanks also for all the info ive asked you about in the past when i was just starting out with my clio :)

bloody hell!! i spose if your gonna do it, do it properly lol :)

looking good matey, will have to take a detour all the way up to see it, and use your PC whilst im there lol :D

your car is looking sweet Remedi!! think the turbines really suit it. Will have to arrange a proper ashford meet, once mine is back together, was dieing to see yours when i went down to meet the nurburgring lot, but mustve missed you :(

ive got clear side repeaters, but the idiot bodyshop have glued the originals actually onto the wing, so when i start to pull off the originals, they pull the paint :confused: Cant even go back to the bodyshop as its owned by different people now, and was a cash in hand job. I prefer mine...

3. Yes some 5 doors can look good (que the folk who will post up their 5 doors) BUT 3 will look better with whatever mods you have. ---------------------------------------- The fact it has 5 doors will be doing me a favour with what people think of my car :devilish: And as its an...

washing up liquid removes waxes etc, its bad for your paintwork if you keep washing with it, but i dont think it really hurts to use it once in a blue moon

rtoc is £15, then renewal is £10 per year :)

mines far from ready, so wont be going now... heres a pic anyway http://img53.echo.cx/img53/8811/dsc002446vo.jpg

Got a modded 5 door mk1 aswell, but i must say, that front bumper just isnt meant for a clio, the clio isnt a jap car, so no jap bumpers needed. Ripspeed sun strip... says it all really. red bits on Wiper arms and red wiper blades.. look tacky, stick to the black normal stuff, its not as...
