Progress has been pretty slow on this but I have acquired a spare engine(cambelt failure) for cheap to use to spice mine up a little. Spent Saturday morning stripping it down to check what the damage is, luckily it’s only a few bent valves and a mark on a piston so pretty happy with that.
I...
After a few years away (about 10🙈) I started itching after another Clio. I kinda started to think the prices were starting to rise and become unaffordable like the 90s hot hatches but I found this whopper on one of the forums. It’s pretty much completely stripped out barring a few bits and it’s...

oh definitely but where's the fun in that plus i have access to all the tooling to build a good spec head. down the line I want itbs so it will pay off
This afternoon I got stuck into the engine strip down to find out what damage was done when the belt went, discovered that the aux belt is also missing so this could have been a factor in the failure.
yep that's proper snapped
sheered exhaust pulley must have gone with a bang
head...
bought this shed off eBay for 300 to tinker around with it's got fairly tatty bodywork and interior and a snapped cambelt so it's well dead at the moment.
plans are get the head off and inspect the damage and rebuild(if not BER)
then I will do a trackday and see what I break
had a few years away from the clio game until this popped up locally needs a fair bit of work but it's a project car
to start with got to investigate the snapped cambelt situation and see if I can reuse the head or not
OK mate I'm planning a large revamp of the car over the next few years will just retain standard shocks if they fit my requirements planning on upgrading arb
