Yeah to put it in perspective Dan, my RA may have 320bhp but the torque is also 320ftlb, and I'm sure it's fair to say your Clio weighs a good deal less!
I'll see you out on track! [emoji6]

I was there on Friday, and it was indeed very busy! I spent most of the day up at the rally stage, which fortunately didn't get too crowded.

Great result mate. Even if it's not the figure you were after!
Most importantly it's at a safe level, and there's no mechanical issues. you have plenty of scope to increase it once the intercooler has been rectified.
Like you said the best thing to do now is enjoy it as it is, get used to a...
New tyres in preparation for CSF17! [emoji6]
Not long now, and I'm really looking forward to it. The last two years I've been were awesome!
Hoping this week to install a RCM oil catch tank. Looks like a fairly comprehensive kit and includes a braided line to return oil back to the sump using...
A supercharged Clio is a wonderful thing. Anyone that witnessed my Trophy at CSF last year would surely agree!
RIP Trophy... [emoji30]

Can't wait for Metro! A really great series.
Don't get me wrong Forza 7 also looks incredible, but sometimes I just feel they're games are just technical showpieces.
Forza 6 bored me to tears with it's clinical approach as did the previous titles.
I really fancy an Xbox X, but I don't...
The Clio might get tarred with the 'it's French' b****cks but to be fair considering the amount of abuse most of us give them especially on track. They're bloody bomb proof.
(within reason of course)
It will be very interesting to see how the Scoob fairs at Blyton especially against the...
Cheers Dave!
As I was saying to Kris I have decided I really should try and enjoy this RA after all the effort, time, and money has been put into it.
Even with all the problems I've had I really do love the car, it's just a pain in the bloody arse!

Further investigation/stripdown concludes it might not be the turbo after all!
Impeller has no play, and appears to be dry. However both the intake pipe and intercooler pipework are very wet with oil.
Could suggest a breather issue. From what I've been told on the RA forum if your running more...
The RA will be there!
(hopefully)
I've got the whole day on track Saturday, and anyone is welcome to jump in as a passenger.

Cheers Scott,
I may well take you up on that. I'd rather get my TD05 rebuilt rather than take a chance on all the cheap Chinese turbos out there!
I doubt I will get much done this month as I fly out to Cuba next Thursday for my 30th so will probably have to wait until July.
With CSF looming I...
The RA is no longer for sale!
I'm going to keep the stubborn mistress...
The old girl put her foot down again, and I'm pretty sure the turbo has just let go!
A plume of white smoke under acceleration, and then when off the throttle the same out through what I presume is the intake.
Further...
Really enjoying this game. codemasters have done it again IMO!
I can't wait for Micro Machines to come out also! [emoji2]

I do love an E39 M5. Those wheels are awful though! The standard wheels are lovely, why change them for those is beyond me...

As much as I like a 'Z' I don't think I'd be able to drive around in one looking like that!
I agree though it does look smart for what it is.

It's funny you mention that mate! 😂

Next time we'll race for 'pinks!' I'll see you at race wars... :wink:
Thanks Mark, Kris did some cracking shots.
I have always liked them ever since they came out. That's about it really! A cracking engine with plenty of potential for tuning.
Doesn't need to be mate. Everyone knows a Clio is the fastest car on earth! :wink: However a supercharged Z would be...
Thanks Ross,
I'm glad you've enjoyed the read, keep an eye out for my next purchase as I'm sure that project will be full of the same! 😂
I haven't had any interest yet. It's a fairly niche car so I expected that, but as you said hopefully the right person will be along soon!
