I think the whole idea with the JMS kit is it's bolt on and no need for internal work. I'm starting to doubt whether I want to even take the clio any further than matched inlets and exhaust as any further mods either make power every so often and the ones that dont have 'issues' :(

Thats fine mate I'm 6ft 2" so shouldnt be too much of a problem. Are you going to get a thread up on yours? I know you had engine issues but it would be great to read through your experiences as I'd love this conversion on my own car. I will take you up on that offer at some time mate, maybe...

I commented on it mate, seems to pull nice....although sounds like youre riding the clutch slightly :o get that 30-110 up there when you get chance. Just noticed where you live, I could be tempted to drive down and take a closer look if its ok sometime :)

I'm after some magnecor leads, not sure whether to get blue or red, I'm not really sure of the benefits of either but if it's better than standard I'm game Anybody know where's cheapest?

Theres a supercharged 182 that was done by rs tuning just been put on around a week ago :)

Did you notice any change in performance? Car looks smart btw, is this the one that had a few 'issues'

The 15s they use are the same width as a standard 2118 wheel. You can get 17" slicks so I'm sure if they were that great they would've been running them

It sounds more like you're the one who listens to the bullsh!t at the local mcdonalds than anyone on here. Put some 15's on it and see what you think :)

The contact patch is the tyre width nothing to do with how big the rim is 15s would be a better performance wheel, less weight and less circumfrance meaning the engine can get its performance onto the road quicker.

If I solve the dilema in my head and end up with coilovers I will be slamming it to the ground for the ASW'ness and to piss off the purists :) but I wouldnt be keeping it that low obv ;) I'm about to shell out £550 on service parts to make sure the trophy is as reliable as can be :)

Also have you got any side on pics just so I can guage the drop from the eibach springs

how does the handling feel with the sportlines fitted mate? Have you thought of upgrading the rear shocks to fully adjustable? Sounds a similar spec to what mine will be apart from mine is a bit more of a luxury car inside :) p.s I also remember the saxo, think I wanted to buy the tailgate...

Where abouts you from mate?

nice one, I was more interested in the conversion pics and if there were any W.I.P pics taken. Have you done the conversion yourself or given it to a company to do?

I'm going with my uncle and his mates, taking the trophy though what's ground clearence like for seriously low cars getting on to ferry and camp sites etc?

more info on your car would be nice if it is SC as it says in your info :) along with vids and pics :)

Re: Project 172k Trophy, & its endless track abuse I see having your seat forward might have an effect on your leg position vs the accelerator? The seat looks totally off centre

You can go down about 100mm and still have no problems, you may catch the front bumper mounts but with a little bit of trimming it will be fine.

As for colours: My ultimate would be: (all trophy spec) LY, Capsicum (trophy red), RB, arctic, Black gold, inferno, silver, petrol blue.....in that order :)

Glad you got sorted out mate, pleased you searched a bit harder and got a good colour with both cup packs, much better than silver ;)

Car looks nice, you may have to order some finer wet + Dry online or from a propper bodyshop/ paint supplies.

he must have been at a meet before as I definitely recognise him lol faces to names = useless

IF you had the balls to do it you could slam that to the ground....ghetto stance lol but f**k me you need to get used to checking your front archs for immigrants each morning

Why do I recognise this chap....not you geddes lol

Aye mate, think prospeed are in cardiff or there abouts and they usually deal with all of the recessed exhausts on here, including cutting them

A nice recessed exhaust and if you fancy a change of wheels then maybe get some anthracite speedline 2118's

Put the fenders on the passat if all else fails :)

Looks mental, I think you could pull it off with some massively wide wheels if the fenders were trimmed to fit properly

I've been up today, easy enough to find. Spoke with Ian and got a price on some important bits :)

benj88 has one of the cleanest 5's I've ever seen, busy doing a full rebuild on it atm, think hes got a thread on here somewhere
