rofl, epic read! and tbh I was expecting the car to be a total rotter, few quid tho and she'll be reet! Welcome Ben from Torquay from Ben in Belper :)

i'm planning to do this for the mk1 next year, good work :)

oh I know you didn't build it chap, I was just surprised that someone would pay a lot of cash to build a track car and not put a diff in from the off!

don't get me wrong, I've spent I reckon 20k on the turbo, but it was built up as a road car that I started doing a few track days in, realised it doesn't cut the mustard, so soon as I bought the new project track car first thing I've bought after the car is a quaiffe,lol!

what? the phase 1 had 28k slung at it and didn't have a diff before new owner added one?!!

sorn'd and unfortunately in bits too mate, sold the parts off it to pay for the new track toy with a view to returning it to standard interior

lol, hark at you vulture boy ;) yeah I couldn't separate it from the plate, its been on it 10 years I think now inc previous owner

bloody hell I was not ready for that, I have always thought the new clio 4 RS looked utterly gash, but in white, on those proper alloys (not like the shite on the megane in the pic) it looks.....dare I say it.......fecking wonderful

In the highly unlikely event of me ever selling it, we all know how this goes, all the prospective buyers disappear/no cash, so you never know Ross ;)

cheers lads, it'll rise again I try to 'get' the mk2's but I'm a mk1 kid at heart so always have a few kicking about even if they aren't used daily like I used to :(

check the integrity of the main connector to the alternator, they can sheer off and if its close to doing that it could be causing the issues your seeing!

not true currently, mess would be more accurate ;)

fingers crossed this finally nips it in the bud chap!

ai the mk1's aren't the most ideal choice for those not experienced with them, I've owned so many and my last track car was one so I have most of the parts in the shed ready to swap onto it :) so should be a nice simple build, just need to find time!

cheers Ross, the turbo is a giggle, this should be a weapon when its done :)

Bought this back in October 2013 from Danny-Ace on the forums, he'd ebayed it randomly as a none runner (aux system removed for s/c mock up and all wiring sold) so I snapped it up for a few quid. Its since sat on stock in a mates lockup since then over Christmas etc with me having little or no...

^^^ bus-mans holiday ;)

Re: DCI 65 pov spec commuter OEM+ epic work but sack that for a laugh!lol!

I'd be interested to know how much the entire 'experience' has cost overall, so servicing, restoration to saleable standard, depreciation, tax, insurance etc etc. be a good figure to know in case I ever fancy a re-mortgage and pissing 20k or something up the wall for 18 months of motoring...

no reason why not if you get the correct tools and know what your doing.

mx5 will be my next project once the current ones are done :)

pretty sure I've seen your car somewhere too, recognise the plate, god knows where like but somewhere in the Sheffield/chesterfield/Mansfield/Derby area

including the aux belt kit and depahser, around 600 quid.

if you'd been there around 1pm today you'd of seen an RB with my ugly mug hooning about ;)

sunflower was gorgeous, such a lovely car.

the rear window seals, they fold in on themselves at the bottom, water can get in there.

50's all the way, cheaper, more comfortable and don't look like silly little ribbons on the wheels

rofl, look good next to that clio you bought in chav corner matey ;)

looks fecking awful that, however right bit of machinery
