Nice spec, what are you hoping for - 220bhp ish? That manifold doesnt actually look too badly made, the usual ones from them iv seen are shocking.

Looks a tidy conversion Danny, what manifold is that? Chadil? What spec is the engine?

Not a bad start mate, should do a lot more than that too :D

Not had a full read mate, i will do over the next few days - looks a good project :) Unfortunately as mine is the skintiest skint project going il have to be fitting myself lol

Tis a catch 22 mate, £500 would get you one of the best springs (Eibach) and a decent set of matched adjustable shockers (Koni are very good on Clio's) where that is the realistic starting price of budget coil overs - I agree if you want low then coilovers are more appropriate

Im obviously not South enough as im skint as a skinty thing lol

Disagree, a decent set of springs and shocks are plenty good enough - you dont need coilovers. How much are we talking mate? Id probably save a little more and look at something different rather than those two choices, id get some better front pads and new fluid - hate the standard pads

Pmsl, I got a good deal on a cage mate, details will be up at the weekend ;)

More pics of the cage mate? Im looking forward to fitting mine - not

Yes single is sold mate, and no, no balance shaft another quickie, cracked gearbox casing?

pmsl - how fast did you get it up to mate? Im sure mine would have shown 150 on the speedo - see what i can do with this one lol

driveshafts are unequal lengths mate, and single mass

I can imagine mate - just one further thing, are the mounts adjusted right? I had a right night mare with mine, just wondering if one has slipped slightly - from what Danny has said I doubt it, but again im just throwing ideas around

IMO not ness, if there was slight wear on the splines it may not show itself until under heavy load (ie full throttle) with the weight of the car on it. Iv had that issue before, not on a Clio mind, on a VW but just thinking out loud for you really mate :)

Hub wear?

Nothing silly like the 3 legged mount cracked under the box mount mate? Mate a wobble when I cracked mine

Oil temp i mean Danny - Im to used to talking about oil temp than water temp lol

J, just to check - it is only under hard acceleration? So if you drove normally can you feel it? Was it a gradual thing or did it happen suddenly? I think it's going to be something fairly simple, my new one does it a little but only under full throttle - feels like mounts to me but iv not...

:o I was specifically talking about from cold Fred, I used 0-40 as I can get get oil cheap from work, but I saw a noticable increase in oil consumption, and the car sounded rougher from cold, and swapping back to a thicker oil made a big difference -I posted it on my phone and didnt give a...

My old one got 143mph, though that was me backing off -it wanted to carry on lol. the itbs made a huge difference to the pull over 120

Hero name tbh lol Cheers fella, it wont be anyehere near the finish of most, but the plan is to keep the total cost in 3 figures, and that includes everything from cage to brakes/suspension etc. Oh and original car purchase included in that :)

The Titan mate? Opie Oils, did me 5 ltrs with a ltr top up bottle delivered in 48 hours at a cracking price :) But you can get it elseware too, Opie are just convenient

To give you an idea I try to buy Titan Pro S - all the cars iv used it in they have sounded much healthier, they dont seem to use much and it smells great lol And I still buy it even though I can buy Shell Helix through work for £1.50 a litre

True mate lol, I was open to whatever car came up that I fancied so I was looking at cheap ITR's, kit cars etc, but when this one came up and we came to a deal I couldn't say no :)

Go with 5w40, 0w40 is too thin

Yeah thats an impressive hole :( I saw it when it was trailored off Combe, side all caved in :( Mines a beast lol, check out my new project thread :) Its as cheap as it possibly can be, and im doing everything on the cheap, 2nd hand parts, and seeing what deals I can dig up - selling off...

Yeah I heard something along the lines of it got to 140 something mph and went bang :( Looking forward to my 'new' ph1 lol

Titan Pro S, one of the best you can buy. Dont skimp on oil

Saw your Clio at combe a month ago - still with the dents in it :(

I only know yours exists because iv seen it, otherwise id be doubting :rasp:
