What I meant by perfect brakes, is brakes that work when you apply them

Always nice, it's not fun when they don't.

 

[Knuckles]

It has run before, hence the front end smash and why I haven't risked driving my project without knowing the brakes are perfect. Learnt from his mistake

Was it this one that was bumped into a garage door?

Steve, give it to chip for a week or two to get it running, then fine tune it yourself? ( brakes/cooling etc)

Somthing like that, read from this post onwards http://www.cliosport.net/forum/show...RWD!-updated&p=3986217&viewfull=1#post3986217

 

[Chip-mk1]

That was 4 years ago though, not exactly a small amount of time passed since to get sorted, lol

 

[theduck]

Yeah I know, I was originally just pointing out it had run. Sure if we were to read through from that point it would be clearer why it isnt finished, but tbh I cba to do that right now.

Aww that's terrible lol at driving with no breaks.

 

[stevo172-RWD]

They did work 1st test .
Then I must of gave it too much when showing off to
my brothers mates lol.
Brakes not my strong points.
Welding and fabrication I like and have alot of ideas.
One idea I was going to draw up is a bolt in rear frame that holds
engine,shocks,hubs etc all one piece.
Its alot of work.
My main excuse for taking so long.
Life!
in and out of work,money,time,etc

Front showing fuel tank only 28l

 

[Nafoff]

for roof scoops possibly look at the reveire (spelling) lotus exige / elise item, fits the shape of the clio roof very well

 

[NoahRobinson07]

If you wanted roof scoops, there are plenty of companies that will make you custom ones from either carbon fibre or fibre glass.

Carbon Weasel
and Arc Angels

 

[stevo172-RWD]

Carbon sounds nice

 

[aucky]
