Trying to gauge a rough price on my turbo ph1 172.
86k
Will have it mot'd by Clioturbo for potential buyer.
Engine:
Clioturbo stage 2 kit - 280bhp/246lbft with printouts.
Adaptronic ECU.
Garrett gt2560.
Low comp pistons.
Megane head gasket.
Vibratechnics engine mounts.
Powerflex dogbone mount...
Wheels are back from being powder coated :smiley: look amazing compared to what they did. Got some new speedline corse stickers from Egay and put them on, well I say I did but it was actually my other half haha. Ruined them on the other two wheels hence why I'm only showing the two complete...
I got it up in Edinburgh from a very suspicious looking garage. According to the dvla it came across from Ireland just before I got it. Probably stolen or something knowing my luck haha.
I know I had a chuckle to myself as well. Oh the irony!
Saying that FedEx made a good job of testing it out for me, bent one of the feet plates a little and scratched it down one side. Grrreat thanks FedEx haha.
Few updates from the weekend. Finally got home!
As I mentioned in my previous post I picked up some Speedline 2118's last week. Didn't intend on buying new wheels but these were quite local to me and I'm terrible with money. They are currently away being refurbed back to anthracite which I...
Good stuff good stuff, looks like it's settled on the ds2500's then.
Another small but awesome update. Ordered some PMS solid top mounts and brace the other day. Picked up some Speedline 2118s last night, don't have any pics as they're caked in brake dust. Will get one once they're clean. Going...
Will be keeping an eye out for brembos especially when I start tracking it. Right now though I'll experiment with uprated discs and pads, see how it goes before going big brakes.
Drove it for 2 hours down to Clio Turbo and it was painful on the buttocks to say the least. Think I'd need an ass transplant after the drive down south!
I'm just going to go for them brand new from RTR Parts on here mate. I have no doubt they're more than up to the job, its just the extreme dust I was worried about. Thanks for the offer though :)
Another update.
Picked up some new track rod ends and tie rods this weekend.
Haven't been home in the last week but my gauges have turned up. Boost, oil temp and oil pressure. Only autogauge ones but I had one in my Starlet and it done the job well enough.
Also ordered one of the half cages...
Yeah I'll probably start saving some money towards a quaife next year. Ideally I want everything else done before then. Diff will be one of the last bits.
Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. The way Scoff at EFI parts maps them helps the box, so it doesn't just get a massive surge all at once I think.
Means I'll have to start using it more often. Only done 2.5k in the last year and a 1/4 of that was a trip to work and back when the golf was on its last legs haha.
Forgot to add in the original posts, it also has some Ns2r's on it now as well. Will be getting the rear two at the end of the month.
Yeah took it up on a whim to get the Geo setup, bit stupid really as I'm not finished with the suspension yet haha.
Did toy with the thought of selling it to...
Quick update. New longlife cup racer zorst, 2.5" which should help with the turbo. Going to go over it with some metal polish when I get a chance.
Also ordered some ramair cold air feeds so I can make some brake ducts up. New track rod ends and tie rods. Think my gauges showed up today as...
Got rid of my Mk4 daily and replaced it with a Honda Accord I-Ctdi, absolutely love this car on my 330 mile commute to work.
Back to the Clio.....
As a Christmas present my mother was kind enough to buy me an OMP wheel and boss. Can't believe the difference this thing makes, one of the best...
Hi folks, thought I'd start a build thread as I've just took the jump from a few choice modifications, to a full scale turbo build. Apolgies for the quality of pics you're about to witness.
Anyway after toying with the idea of yet another Civic I was swayed when I seen a saw an immaculate Ph1...
