clean16v · Jan 23, 2005

Just to keep all updated on my project, got my Williams wheels today, they weill be sent to Pro Clean to have them sprayed white with a silver lip.

Megane head is on its way to BenR at the moment and teh car is being dropped off at GDI HQ on friday for Ben to wave his AngelWorks wand at it!

Hopefully it will be ready for the RR day on March the 5th, then straight to the bodyshop and on with the willy track! Its gonna be a very good season!

BigChris · Jan 23, 2005

two words for you mate...

LUCKY and b*****d

lol, wish i had to money to do this...

clean16v · Jan 23, 2005

Pics would be useless as th eonly work carried out at the moment (Williams engine/box and manual steering conversion) arent worth photoing at mo!

Car is just a white clio 16v that hasnt been washed for a while, with leather. Im sure the pics will start flowing as soon as its dropped off to Angel Works Technology!

BTW big thanks to gunnergibson for dropping of my wheels, nice meeting you mate.

What spec are you cooking up Clean?

You still going to Maran racing for T/ bodies?

clean16v · Jan 23, 2005

Martin, maran racing seem to have vanished, BenR is doing the conversion at AWT.

Spec will be as follows;

Williams bottom end, megane head with AWT headwork, 280 cams, AWT throttle body kit (based around Jenvey gear), OMEX ecu. BenR will know a little better then me, but he is hoping for 200+ bhp and circa 170 lb/ft torque! Should be a little monstor but it will be prepared for shows also!

Chris, car when totally finished, including willy track/coilovers/the car itself/T/B conversion, willy engine/box/new clutch blah blah blah will be 8k. Not too bad i think!

Adams_16v · Jan 23, 2005

mint mate!!!!! cant wait to see it all done!!! i think were gonna be seeing one fookin fast mk1!!!

TheJesus · Jan 23, 2005

think were looking at the new one in front, 2 lives got some work to do!

dannyt · Jan 23, 2005

flippen heck pal, you must have a good job or something as your certainly not holding back on the spending!

Good luck with the project though pal and looking forward to seeing it! Maybe you can come over to mine and martins end this time and ill meet you if you get lost!!!lol

bondy · Jan 23, 2005

mmmmmmmmm tidy better get my clio off ebay as this could be a challenge !!!!!!!!!!!!!

clean16v · Feb 28, 2005

Latest update, just been on the phone to Paul at infinicar and Andy GDI, the willy track with GAZ coilovers are scheduled to be put on begining of next week. New top mounts, wishbones and bushes at the same time.

AWTs part (the engine) is coming on ok as well, waiting for parts is the big killer but progress pics are in the pipeline! not long now, roll on march the 12th!

Just a little worried about the drive back, drove it there with a knocking top mount and 150bhp, driving it back with over 200bhp and coilovered willy track! should be intresting!

dannyt · Feb 28, 2005

flippen heck, wish I could spend as much as you on the motor....looking forward to when shes all done mate...youll have to take us out for a blast clean???

Winston · Feb 28, 2005

Remedi · Feb 28, 2005

Sounds awesome, money well spent.

I wanna see some pics!

clean16v · Feb 28, 2005

yeah eveyone can jump in for a blast (not at the same time tho).

Waiting for pics myself, its all work in progress at mo and waiting for parts! Not even gonna cost as much as you think, latest estimate of price is circa £7k including car, willy engine/box, new track and suspension, T/B conversion, full re-spray, willy wheels refurbed, basically all in.

cat171 · Feb 28, 2005

sounds nice mate & it will be a right beast !

Adams_16v · Feb 28, 2005

Snufty · Feb 28, 2005

Munson · Feb 28, 2005

clean16v · Feb 28, 2005

hell yeah, not been for a season, want to see this TT clio and Nick Reads. And will be good to finally meet you Martin. Its defo gonna be a good season!

BenR · Feb 28, 2005

Mehdis bits are comming along nicely.

His custom cams are arriving mid of this week, Throttle bodies are being held up over the smallest part, but will also be here mid this week.

And right now the head is being roughed out to create the port shape requied for the setup and the extensive flow development.

Just a few pics.

Roughed out chamber and std ports

http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/10/web/322000-322999/322115_129_full.jpg

Roughed out chamber and roughed out ports, developing the short side and the right areas of the bowl. There are certain areas you do not even want to touch at all!

Another view of std port (note machining)

View of roughed out port, note short side radius development and flattening of the floor and tightning of corners between wall and floor.

This is the very first stage of improving a head, so aesthetically its not very appealing, but it is where the majority of the work is done, and where the flow is gained. Tidying up could essentially be secluded to making customers feel happy that it is smooth and semi shiny........no actual flow gain occurs between the roughed shape and the smoothed shape, as they are the same. However, textures are used to energise the charge in certain areas of the port.

So dont worry, itll look better.

Ill keep the updates comming.

Thats it for now!

Dan_mk1 · Mar 1, 2005

Awesome chap!!

TheJesus · Mar 1, 2005

Ben, cant see the emergency pannick button there pal, more pics needed

dannyt · Mar 1, 2005

looking good there, wish i could do all this to my motor!

How much is the full re-spray gonna cost fella and where u getting it done?

Danny

Nick Read · Mar 1, 2005

Excellent news, keep up the good work. James G was asking me about my next outing to Santa Pod...Ill leave it until after we get back from the Ring; who knows what could be broken, but assuming its all ok, sometime around the end of April/beginning of May Ill be up for some quarter miling if you want something to go against. Itll be the Pod though, not York.

clean16v · Mar 1, 2005

Cheers Nick, i hope to get a run agianst yours this season, would be good to see the differences in power delivery!

danny, the whole respray is costing me £400, in white, includes sorting some rust out, smoothing the tailgate and de-badging the front. Its the same place the did Martins banana.

dannyt · Mar 2, 2005

Is that over in Manchester then?

Is it normally that good a price or do you get discount or something???

All the quotes ive had have been for about £1k!!!

Ben H · Mar 2, 2005

Sounds absolutely lush - just the sort of thing my heart says I should be doing...but my head said otherwise and hence I have a 172!

clean16v · Mar 2, 2005

Danny, its in Liverpool, and its a price available to all, currently trying to sort a group buy with two other members to see if we can get a further discount.

Ben, i nearly bought a 182, but the amount of money i would lose depreciation wise on that would be similar to the clio im building, except this clio will b exactly what i want and come in at a few thousand pounds cheaper, not to mention the pace!

dannyt · Mar 2, 2005

OLD SKOOL ALL THE WAY CLEAN!!!

Ill drop you a pm pal as im interested in a group buy as after washing it, i want all the little scratches, swirl marks etc gone!!!

Danny

P.s Tell Ben to get a move on...Im getting impatiant!!!

Khany · Mar 2, 2005
