In my opinon hillclimb 2421's best aspirated engine 2422's. However there are so many other elements to a competitive hillclimb Clio which would place demands upon your hard earned money! Bilstein B14's are a bit soft great for road , but for out and out hill climb car you need something a bit...

Me personally and I sure there will be other posters with opinions, I would still have gone for the 2421's as it sooo important to have an engine that will pull strongly for low revs rather than waiting for it to come 'on cam' higher up the rev range. If it was focussded on trackdays it would...

Just to add, I went with an Engine Dynamics Level 2 build with a few extras which I have been very very pleased with. Car is running Jenvey throttle bodies and Gen 90 ECU. I went with 2421 Cat Cams as for hill climbing its not about outright BHP, you need good mid range torque for really...

Hi, Happy to provide some advice based on my experiences. I compete regularly in my Clio182 and I'm usually in the top three with several class wind in1B over the past couple of years, so reasonably quick car. You mention R/S Tuning so are you 'local to Leeds and do you compete at Harewood?

Done!

If you have completion seats fitted and they have a slot to facilitate a six point harnesss then I would go for that. In a head on you can 'submarine' out of a 4 point. I moved to a six point harness and feel much safer. If you are not mounting to a roll cage make sure the fittings are done in...

Hi Jame Hi James, yes I recognise your car from Harewood. I have ordered some yellow roof graphics ( squares) but if they are not up to scratch and/or I mess up applying them , I'll be looking for some to do it professionally so thanks and see you at Harewood!

Hi Jon, Hope you are well. Yes, I did Rally Harewood finishing third in class and people took hundreds of pictures and posted them up but my car hardly figures at all☹️ Thanks for the endorsement. Work will start shortly!

I wanted something that was simple to put into effect. I think I prefer the original registration😂

Thanks for the input. I used ChatGPT, for the mock up. The roll cage and calipers are yellow so thought would continue the theme.

I am thinking about making my hillclimb Clio look a bit more exciting and to stand out more on the hills. Last year I did a rally hillclimb and car seemed to attract little attention compared to most of the rally cars doing the event which were more brightly coloured. So here goes: Current To...

Thanks for the shout out Ed, and great to see you again. Car was a bit dirtier by the end of the event!!

Rallye Harewood, just been confirmed I have an entry for this hillclimb event with a difference!! The event takes place on Saturday 13th December and will consist of several timed runs in the daylight and at night up the hill climb course. Over 80 cars entered and many 'proper' rally cars...

Buy the genuine Aero Catches, the cheap ones on eBay are crap! Speaking from experience!!

Hi Ed, Thanks for the picture. help out on the Academy Days so should be able to answer most questions., so please don't hesitate to contact me There is also information here: https://www.harewoodhill.com/driving-academy The dates are posted up on the Website under events. The date go up...

Hi Ed, good to see you today. Unfortunately the misfire got worse to I called it a day after the first timed run. At least I have until April next year to get it sorted!

Hi Ed, Yes I'm there tomorrow. Today was terrible, rained all day and my tyres are low on tread, so 5th place out of nearly 40 was OK. Hopefully better weather tomorrow!

Hi Ed, Good to meet you too! Was not my best day had a few issues and a misfire so my worst result of this season with 4th. I only managed two out of four timed runs due to loss of spark (the car not me) but now sorted. Loved your Trophy, must rank up there amongst the best around!

This can happen with cars imported from the US as well. My son nearly bought a Corvette which had been imported to the UK from Germany. But after doing checks it had been crashed ( written off) in US, exported to Germany where it was repaired and ran for 2 years , then imported to UK.

I've purchased six Japanese Imports over the years and they have all been relatively rust free and been great cars and 4x4's. They do still rust as they only have a few layers of paint on them but at a much slower rate due to the absence of salt on their roads. Any import will need...

As my original thread has been recently 'bumped' I would just like to say over three years later my engine built by Engine Dynamics is still performing faultlessly. I would highly recommend ED

This is great. Really appreciate all the effort everyone is going to on this topic.

Will try and find more about it with a view to removing it.

Hi, it is wired into the injection harness so we are loath to touch it. At least we know this is not an alarm my so he is not going to be left stranded f it fails.

Wow thanks!!

My son has just purchased a 2013 BMW X5 and we have subsequently found a device hidden away in the engine bay. Unfortunately the previous owner had passed away (purchased from the estate) so unable seek information on the device. There are no names or codes on the device, but it lights up...

I would concur with Jon, Putting ITB's on an otherwise relatively standard engine is a waste of money ( I speak from personal experience!) ass thet will generalte hardly any improvement. ITB's come into their own with head mods and cams, again I speak from experience as Jon's with 226BHP was...

I'm pleased you are enjoying it... I think the engine is single best thing about the car!!

Hi, I fitted CL RC6 pads to the Clio because they worked really well from cold which is great for hillclimbing as the brakes never get hot, (unlike a trackday) hence std pads in the rear brakes. In the Fiesta I'm now hill climbing I'm using add pads all round and they are working really well...
