Thanks a lot! Have resisted to pass the magic 4k mark up to now. Although im desperate to and so is the car. Now done 425 miles so only another 575 to go :-)
Its had head work, cams, verniers, rebuilt blueprinted bottom end, rebuilt gearbox, gtt uprated clutch. Needs chipping (22 march)...
Now I finally have my car back thought id give her a proper clean inside and out. Took me all day! Also made my own door cards to match the interior!
That kid on the electric powered scooter kept flying past every 2 minutes. lol

Thought u meant the brakets for a min there mat.
Kev, I swapped my phase 1 with Leigh as I dont think his fit with having nice headlights. That remins me I need to send the hole covers. Leigh send me your address again please mate!
true, iv put my cat back on for the MOT and it doesnt sound half as good. Sounds so much quieter when starting the engine too. Still sounds good though but cant wait to get the decat put back on!
Well cam belt went snap due to tensioner seizing up. so had ported, polished etc head, kent cams, verniers, lightned and balanced bottom end, gtt clutch, gearbox rebuild. Just needs chipping (22nd march), fitting the de-cat again and running in (another 600 miles). Feels a lot more torquey...
Im attempting to fit the phase 2 grill on my phase 1 clio. Its obviously been designed different because the usual screw holes dont line up at all. Anyone know an easy way around this before I go and make some bizzare shaped brackets of some kind!
Thanks
Fine mate cheers, just got it back last night. Bored tonight and cant be arsed to go out so been on a nice 100 mile drive. Need to get to that 1000k mark asap. Its hard work driving a valver around and not going over 4k revs. Although it seems a lot quicker. I havent had chance to floor it...
saw a nice (not) reno 21 with nice williams badges all over it on the way home from work tonight. Had to get a snap would be rude not to!

yeah rebuild with a few nice extras as well while it was in bits. seems to pull a lot better under 4k which is the most i can rev it to for the time being, but its absolutely dying to go all the way to the limiter. Should be a bit better once its run in and needs chipping too. Bit lumpy on...
iv been without 7 weeks. got it back last night but no driving hard till 1000k is up. Went out for a sneaky drive last night before i got tax and within half an hour had a saxo, nova gsi and pug 205 up my arse and overtake on the back roads...
grrrr
yeah going back on in the summer but im liking the phase 2s and its a bit quicker on accelleration with em too. Just some skanker will probably nick the centre caps!
might have to make an appearance rhys. The car looks almost standard at the min. Phase 2 rims and got rid of that splitter i grew to hate!
Was following a cav sri after being in the car 2 mins and had a nice open road infront was dying to overtake but had to hold back. booo. have no tax...
I think thats what its running on mate. If I can remember what he said about it anyway when i went to collect.
Its itching to pull round to the limiter though, Never though driving under 4k everywhere would be so hard.
finally after 7 weeks, mostly deciding what to do with it and getting all the bits sorted and about 3 weeks to get it built and running. I cant go over 4k yet but it pulls like fuk up to 4k and it dying to rev its knackers off. Only another 800 miles before I get be let loose with it!!!! cant...
I bought them from someone on here but I think they were out of a smashed up williams. My mates been after a set for ages now, they are hard to come by. good luck
scrapped willies are the best bet. i wouldnt bother clocking em back or forward, just remember your real millage.
iv got a set in my 16v, look loads better but redline at 6.5k which makes it look like ur abusing your car when giving it some lol
