2" for the rears is the correct size

Low boost if maintained an built properly *should* be as reliable as a standard one IMO

Low boost should be fun

Alot of work and hours to be put in before its ready for paint going by that list! Good luck with it all, good to see some real progress being made now! Should be very light once finished

With the same money spent on engine mods, yes they are. Standard for standard agreed there isn’t much if any difference

4k+ car all day long IMO.

@doug6488 needs updated!

R53 mini would be my choice if i had to change the clio for something else. Handling is similar to the clio, with the right mods they are almost as reliable and far quicker (in a straight line) than a clio. The only reason i wouldn't just boost my clio for more outright pace is the ridiculously...

The wiring was the only job i hated when rebuilding mine! Worth it though to neaten it all up

Other half always moans at me to me to sell it. Complains i'm always in the garage cleaning it, taking it to bits and that i spend too much money on it. So safe to say she isn't the biggest fan of the car, In fact lets be honest she hates it!

10000000000% this. I understand the car obviously now has sentimental value and you are "too deep" to stop, but it surpassed the ridiculous stage a while ago. scale back the spec, sell parts on and get the car up and running would be the route i would be taking.

To be honest i'm amazed it has been allowed to drag on so long and get to where it currently is! Absolutely mental in my opinion, crazy sums of money.

The new one looks good, but as per above at £700 not worth it. £600 and i think they would sell well, i like the new design as it offers a scope for increasing the runner length.

As has been mentioned, @Tomotek created what seemed a comprehensive excel spreadsheet with details of all the bolts!

Shame about selling up, was progressing well an would have been great with the diff etc fitted. Saying that if you break it, let me know as I would be interested in the gripper

easily fixable. Scares a lot of people but its just a time consuming job to do properly, all the metal panels required to fix it are readily available

Make brackets that bolt to the existing slam panel holes and allow you to keep the catches where they are. It will allow you to remove the slam panel

Interested to see what results you get with that mapping of the SM inlet

I'm almost certain the cam cover and head are a matched pair as they together create the cam journals. So in essence it is certainly not good practice to mix an match them

Thanks for letting me know. Still be good to see what you think as I feel the 5.25 that a lot go for is too short, hence I was going to opt for the 4.28 as it's a lot closer to the standard gearings 4.09

@JKING3008 I'll be interested on your thoughts on the gearing with the 14/60 CWP as thats what i was going to go for or keep the standard.

Out it comes. Cheers for the replies guys

I know how to do it, there are various ways. I was just looking for people's opinions on whether they preferred it or wished they had kept the ABS

I'll have a look an see if I can find my order form over the weekend an send it to you

Looking for peoples opinions on whether they preferred with or without ABS on there track/race clio's? I have ran ABS ever since i have raced/track'd my clio but recently had a short stint in a non ABS car and quite liked it, but before i rip all the ABS out i would like some other peoples...

For the rear turret tubes/cups get them from custom cages. I was less far less than £70 for them delivered. They are a standard part used on the custom cages clubman cage etc

Vids don't work in here, but if you click the hyperlink attached to the on wednesday below tony's name iit will take you to facebook direct and they work there. Don't need to sign in either

I've possibly missed it but you had it weighed yet? @Tomotek

Any chance you could let me know what sort of figures the car does once mapped mate? @benji93 Same applies here, be interested to see what it makes with the piper cams

A helpful link to work out where to cut tubes without a tube notcher https://www.blocklayer.com/pipe- notching.aspx Another useful link http://thefabricatorseries.com/build-blogs//video-how-to-notch-tubes-without-a-tube-notcher I used both of these when altering my cage
