Ooh interesting, I've got a mk1 1.8 engine in the garage that needs a head skim and I can't get the idea of building a NA engine out of my head.
I'm about a millimetre away from chopping the Clio in for a mk1 so I'm trying to do some planning.
I guess your at the top end without significant money being spent then.
Slightly off topic but Interested to hear whether you'd go down the N/A tuning route with a mk1 again in the future?
I was going to say about the BBR Super 175/180 kits but it sounds like you've done most of it anyway.
Why are cams so expensive? that's Clio cams sort of money including a belt change isn't it.
I remember doing that, it was absolutely hilarious but I think that did for the challenges last time round!
I think I only managed about half a lap at a reasonable pace.
This is as good as I've got it, hasn't been washed for a couple of months but it's obviously against dirt in general, I haven't even had to clear my number plate yet
I'm not going to win anything yet, been taking the country roads to work but it just doesn't seem to be getting that dirty! I think the blue hides the dirt well.
It looks incredible.
But will they deliver on time - No
Will it be a huge disappointment because of the sounds and the stupid stubborn Japanese people that make it. - yes
I'm getting back on this afternoon for a bit hopefully.
My potential time was a 51.1 so I'm hoping I can get at least a bit closer to that and be able to hook up a full lap.
So frustrating! Need to come back to it as I just got so annoyed with the first corner I had to stop.
I will be back before the end of the month,
51.592
I'm well up for that. I never play it anymore as it's a bit a pain setting up the wheel but if there some friendly competition then I'm sure I could manage.
Absolutely gutted for you, was genuinely one of the best cars at CSF this year, not good to see it meet a terrible end. Glad your alright and fingers crossed you can get into something fun again soon!
