might help if people put cup or trophy offset for the turinis too?

only if you map it after painting them that is

its a man retreat, no room for polishing b****cks, engines and oil take pride of place :drunk:

love that pic, Lesley doing her best amongst all the crap and oil all over the place :)

as above, half a litre on track is sod all. if the engine seems fine then just look after it like you have been and it'll see another 150k! lol!

try as I might, I really just don't 'get' Vauxhalls at all which is weird as my dad's always had them, maybe that's why? best I can say is it looks a clean enough example :)

lol, clutch alignment fail ;) its a tricky job if you don't get it right.

as above, sounds a decent enough deal, labour for removal and fitting is a killer on clutches/boxes

ai I know George said it was basically scrap! come on Georgie, finger out and get it sorted ;)

top job :) so is that the teething issues all sorted George? or still go issues with the link pipe?

Lol! Sorry, didn't mean to alarm, tbh sounds a solid one! :)

as above, they fit straight on a mk 1 clio, not a mk 2 ;)

my first ever car, 1.4RT clio, I did similar thing, rocked up, paid up, bloke disappeared and car was a total fecking shed. blew up 2 weeks later. then as you do when your young, didn't learn and went to Gateshead for the next one, 1.8 16v Clio, and same again, blew up after a month that time...

welcome and tbh, for 700 quid who can argue, good buy even if it does pop in a week :)

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...
