To do a season in the clio cup costs a great deal of money, that said, i'm sure there are other saloon series where a 172 would be eligible. First point is to take a look at the various series that there are and find the technical regs for them. No point in building a clio that isn't...

Wheels on and off the sill stands. Going to get the wheels sandblasted and repainted at some point. Brake fluid in and exhaust made to fit. Also a temporary drivers seat fitted ready for going away to paint. Terratrip rally computer and display fitted to the dash, with the Sadev gear...

You would also expect that for the amount you paid for the car you would have a good look at it before buying

Yes, but you cannot 100% define 'satisfactory condition'. By the way you are talking you could argue that ANY used car isn't 'satisfactory condition' as it isnt 100% perfect as it would (probably) be fresh from the import center.

Got a Geartronics flatshift ecu to replace the Sadev one we already had. And fitted in the glovebox next to the Pectel T2 engine ecu. And a vid of it running. Aplogies for the shoddy camera work, can't start the engine and hold the at the same time. It only has the exhaust...

Hope the valve pockets have been radiused properly and its not been left too thin anywhere

Saturday we transfered the uprated fuel pump from the old car to the new car, plus fitted the old competition driveshafts into the new car. The oil breather catch tank also went in. You can also see the adjuster bar for the alternator aswell. Test fitted the bonnet and wings, and...

Here are a couple of pictures of the brake line fittings for those that were interested. They are a similar item to this http://www.kiowa.co.uk/Products/Hydraulics/EMB_Compression_Couplings/Straight_Bulkhead_Coupling

I was on the lookout for a quick RHD power steering rack for years... There are companies that would alter it, but it was all bespoke stuff

Cool, what car do you run? Edit: Just seen from the British Rally Forum thats its a clio :)

In past years we've done quite a few rounds in the East Midlands / North East Midlands championships, but we're looking at trying to do some futher afield with the new car. Hopefully go to places like Epynt etc

I'm not sure what they are technically called, but we got them from a local place that makes up hydraulic hoses etc. They are an olive fitting by the way if thats any help

We have a combination of the standard 172 piping and some custom that was made up for us

I'll beable to take some decent pics at the weekend if you can wait that long

You could use the same fitting... Or, see my project thread :p http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showpost.php?p=3811680&postcount=129

Take a look at my project thread http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showpost.php?p=4081766&postcount=150

Dash display connected up and self tappered in, all connected up and working. Also wired up the Pectel T2 ECU, so all ready to go wiring wise. Got some longer Jenvey throttle body trumpets off ebay as it makes fitting an air filter much easier. Had to modify them a little but they...

Its part of the unit that the pump sits in. I did have a pic but have misplaced it i'm afraid

Buy an impreza, strip the running gear off it and mackle it to the clio. Best way

If I have time to look at a speedo i'm not trying hard enough :) As theres no speedo drive in the gearbox, and no ABS anymore there isn't a way to use the normal speedo even if we needed one. That said, we can have a digital display from a trip meter to show the speed. If anyone was...

Been working on various ideas about how to mount and display the various guages on the dash. Finally ended up with this. Past the point of no return Drilled out the existing SMD's for the indictators I needed to use; indicators, headlights, main beam, charge light and oil pressure...

The last few weeks we have mostly been sorting out the wiring and engine mounts, so couldnt really take any worthwhile pics of progress :) All the unused wires have been taken out the dash loom, and have just retained the wiring for the lights under the bonnet. Fitted a battery box in the...

What voltage are the standard SMD's in the dash rated for? Just need to work out what resistors I need to use to power them from a 12V source

Cluster? It's the wires going to the ECU i really want to identify in the big bundle of wires I have left. The fan and is seperately wired anyway, so no trouble there :)

Thats the trouble, the gauge doesnt seem to have any specific wires in the plug going to the dash unit unlike the fuel gauge. Ill just have to kep trying to find where the ecu gets its input from As for the project, its http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=264615 not a normal...

Cheers, im doing more or less the opposite; a Mk1 engine in a Mk2. Everything will be fine ECU wise, its just I want to run the original guage. It has just proved impossible to trace the sensor back to the ECU Ill be playing around with it more tomorrow anyway

Any ideas? After a little more investigation it looks like it just works as a thermister, so there will be a resistance between two wires I can use, just need to find them. I'm a little reluctant to just try shorting random wires together :)

Is there a way to get the coolant temperature guage working with nonstandard engine wiring / sender? I have got a standard dash, uch and loom all the way through to the engine loom (so up to the big white block connector with the underbonnet relays/fuses), and want to try and drive the guage...

The R3 is cheap compared to a S1600 aswell, might aswell get a couple at that price!!

A tubular one... We had some in the megane, taking it off the race suspension made the car too high for the air jacks to work though. Theyre not cheap either
