I will never upload a photo direct from my phone again! That looks terrible.

Southend in Essex, M25, M1, M6, M56

What's the round trip mileage for you? Mine works out to be 470 miles and just over 4hrs to get there

I'm in the minority here as so many people have gone turbo but in my opinion the supercharger gives you all that extra power but retains the driveability feel of an N/A car. I absolutely love how it drives, it's effortless, I'll say it again it just pulls and pulls. You see the turbo cars on the...

Being honest there was nothing there to show why, it was running rich top end and had more boost 2nd time round. With the timing now changed and the tighter aux belt it had changed the characteristics of the map higher up so with more fuel he could dial it in and make the most of it running...

Well it's been a while since I've really had to do anything to it up until a couple of weeks ago. I decided to take the Clio down to the Surrey RR meet at the end of November 2014 just for a run out and to see it on the rollers, it had 2 power runs after which Charlie mentioned it was running...

Hey @Knuckles was nice to meet you and chat. Yeah Chris mapped it after everybody had done their power runs so it's all sorted now 262bhp and 220ft/lbs torque

It's looks much better that way

Was there since 10am and had to wait till everyone had gone on. Now the 4hrs drive home

6 chocolate hob nobs!

262bhp and 220ft/lbs

A long day but well worth it

Picked up the Petrol Blue tonight. Again another big, big thanks to @AlexW for all the work he's done on it over the last week. He's gone beyond what he originally set out to do and all in time for it to be ready to head up to EFI Parts this Sunday, much appreciated mate, really impressed...

Ill be there in the SC Petrol Blue 182

Ordered a new filter for the PB182

Bets on hitting 260 this time round

Good luck tomorrow Alex. Would also just like to take the time to say a big thanks for all the work you're doing on the Petrol Blue. I'm so glad the cam timing's been checked before the remap at EFI next week, it just goes to show. Also really impressed with the work and how I've been contacted...

Good ol man logic

Carbon Lorraine RC5 pads are ideal for that

@Cub. I have my doubts, there's more than 1 factor in that equasion that would make that happen i.e driving style and braking etiquette for starters. Decent brake fluid, braided hoses and good track pads.... Works for me

Just don't fit 4 pots at all, problem solved... Overkill IMO

With the supercharger setup working on more horsepower as the revs increase, I'm looking into minimising potential belt slip at high rpms. When it was mapped first time round there were signs (although not proven to be aux belt) that the power would tail off. So I was thinking of trying to...

Regards going vernier would they work as an alternative when running 225 pistons as they don't use VVT? Set the timing up to suit using the pulleys and do away with the dephaser, maybe throw in some 197 cams too while it's apart. Been thinking about this as a next step up for more power with the...

Can I do away with the tensioner spring on the aux belt setup to create a manually adjustable alternative of my own Thanks

At least it could go back on the road :blush:

Does the shell have a VIN

All this reminds me of the good ol days working on R5 GT Turbos :smile:

I wonder what grade material they're using to make these? I guess it's finding a new weak point after everything you're doing

Suspension is already on full coilovers front and rear Brakes are all done bar changing fluid to Super Blue which I have already New Michelin tyres fitted when I bought the Superleggeras. Could do with a new windscreen, Steering wheel retrim. A decent wash and wax I guess

I know exactly how you feel! Money is burning a hole in ones pocket to go forged and up the power just to give me something to do :smile:
