drill the head off and take a set of mole-grips to the remains after

Just watched all 5 fully :-(

Think I'll swap cars with Em, mx5 would be a pig up the roads again :( We need to do this again

Oh my gosh, the memories :-( I keep meaning to make a video out of all the ones from my camera. Unfortunately Dan has them all

I'll start a new one and link it in here. Picking some scaffolding up Sunday ;)

Update/thread on the mx5 will happen at the weekend. Already bought a few bits ;)

Yep shell has gone. It was no use as a road car as I had to cut the floor out to remove the cage

Good to see my old wheels are getting used still :)

Ah right, they both needed moving on mine as they were no where even near the bolt points on the car. Two steel inch long spacers were made in the end. Burpspeed just use lots of washers and pass scutineering with that :)

Check my project thread about 18months ago I had a load of photos during fitment of mine

Youuuuuu farking knowsit!!!!!!!!!!

The actual engine will be pushing more like 360/370 bhp before the fly which makes it all the more impressive, it wastes it just turning the rotrex. I didn't read properly, but is that it's final setup/bhp figure?

Impressive results Mark, looks a good job too. The older stuff was a bit naff using steel exhaust tube (not your car I don't recall, was Andy's old one I think) I appreciate what your saying about the gripper diff, and being set to a lower torque is going to help things last alot longer. This...

Heartless b*****d x

Yep Clive the mx5. Maurice the megane and Claire the Clio. Everything with a soul must be named ;) Hah, might just have to get that one Chris!!

Emma isn't happy nope. She genuinely couldn't believe I'd bought one until I picked her up and took her outside :D It's f**king gutless, like the handbrake is constantly on kind of gutless. But it's rwd and cheap so can be abused 1.8 uk model with 75k miles, koni adjustable coilovers, miltek...

Bye bye Clio. Hello hairdresser car Say hello to Clive... He will get his own thread soon

:) painting that cage was a nightmare first time round, as I'm sire you could tell there was one section where you could still see the steel code through the paint. Likely was hidden when fitted Don't know about others, but I couldn't see any pics in the last post

My missus has a meg225 so I do have at least something to play in now and again too ;-) I was looking at 172's on eBay and Emma just flat out said no. Lol, I'm under no thumb of yours, woman!!!

Might have some spares for you Jay, need to see what sells and what doesn't in the near future :)

Dan, I'd have thought it be ok on your drive tbh, especially up towards the garage. Flat floor would be ideal but not tje end of the world. Good times phil, that hasn't taken long to build and paint back up, got to say it does look sexual ;)

lol, never. thats like punching your own child in the face because they got bullied on the first day of school

this evening i nearly wanted to cry :( R.I.P lil clio

dont spend too much ;) took me 4 years to do what I achieved with it. the boot net was from renault, couldnt tell you any part codes though. its an omp 6 point bolt in cage off ebay. i then welded in the extra cross member and harness bars afterwards before fitting and painting it all myself...

they spin in 5th in the wet at 155mph with 280bhp lol. torque kills gearboxes, power is what you need to stay on the reliable side :)

my dads coming round when the scrap yard come so i dont have to be at home :(

Cheers Arno, been a good laugh and met some great people doing it. If the re-sale value was greater then it would have been sold as a whole but no one would pay anywhere near enough to warrant it sadly. Doors, boot and bonnet off tomorrow then the scrap yard come to pick it up tomorrow...

How low can you go! About this low It seems

dont be sad danielson, you has boost to play with now. i has nothing except a frigging wedding plan lol. i'll be back on trackdays with something, some day.....

Both your cars can now be full of win ;) Now buy the body panels ayeee
