Hope you dont start popping boxes and clutches.

LOL, im expecting to to be honest, renos chocolate boxes are sh*te!

Maritin, leather will be kept in for shows and everyday use, but will just strip out the usual for strip/track action, on the road i doubt it will make a massive difference, with over 200bhp traction is gonna be my main problem.

BenR · Mar 11, 2005

Another update,

Being held up by a few things so i continued with the flow development.

The ITBs and manifold have been flowed and shaped to maximise efficiency over the std ITB setup.

The Divet was put there by me to control the area behind the injector and the cone pattern/turbulance after it is injected, a few more secret tweeks will be done to this area.

How the feck do you do all this? Looks so detailed and loads of hard work to get the finishes Ive seen on those pics.

Would love to see this go in the flesh, is it going into a standard looking clio too? lol would be a good sleeper

clean16v · Mar 11, 2005

Excellent pics again Ben!

Yes its going in a standard looking clio, just a bit of smoothing. Loads of engine and suspension work though

dannyt · Mar 11, 2005

What susp you going for mate?

Danny

Adams_16v · Mar 11, 2005

awesome!

clean16v · Mar 11, 2005

Im going for Williams tracks and gaz coilovers. its already had teh manual steering conversion

JanO · Mar 11, 2005

This is a lovely project - very jealous mate

muz · Mar 11, 2005

Very very nice

Reminds me of when I did loads to a CVH in a MK3 escort, got 140 BHP with no forced induction butit was very lumpy

How driveable will it be everyday?

BenR · Mar 11, 2005

Itll be fairly drivable........but it has got ALOT of cam.

Idle will be higher than std.

dannyt · Mar 12, 2005

Are you picking it up today clean, whats the score?

clean16v · Mar 12, 2005

nope, not today, time wasnt enough in the end. hopefully next week

TheJesus · Mar 13, 2005

well, saw this in the flesh yesterday, sh*t hot is all i can say. The TBs are f**king massive too, I reckon when it comes out it will be sucking cows and fully grown men into it when he opens the b**ch up!

looking forward to seeing this thing go

Nafoff · Mar 13, 2005

sounds crazy, wish i was northen so i could see this

(it is up north isnt it otherwise i will look very stupid)

clean16v · Mar 13, 2005

I live in Manchester, but the car is in Cambridge at moment mate

CLIO16V · Mar 13, 2005

I like the sound of what you are doing mate i have a mk1 1.8 16v i have had a lot of engine work done ie cams, chipped, bigger injectors, nife edge crank, lightened and balanced flywheel, group n cluch,valves, boost valve, ported and polished head and a few other bits my clio is running around the 205bhp all i do is snap cluches,shafts and boxes and do in big ends my best time was 14.2 on the quarter mile at crail dont expect any better coz they spin about 1/4 of the way up you cant help it good luck when its finished mate

BenR · Mar 14, 2005

Throw the full specs this way as that is alot of power for relatively minor modifications.

On another update, your ECU is here along with other assorted bits and bobs.

Just building it up now.....and no you cant rush me!

clean16v · Mar 14, 2005

where did my post go? i put a post up asking the same as Ben. And stating that a few clios on here run 14.1 and 14.0 1/4s with around 170-180 bhp, so up your launching game!

Any pictures dood? You sure you cant be rushed becasue your setting GT4 lap records

TheJesus · Mar 15, 2005

Ben, i reckon I can beat your Nurburgring record, but on the Xbox PGR2... if you have it we need a race pal, cos I fancy meself as a dab hand. Can do 6 mins for fun in the TVR. hehe

BenR · Mar 15, 2005

i think you need to go get GT4

TheJesus · Mar 15, 2005

bloody el, that means buying yet another PS2... this will be the 3rd one... they just die when you chip em... with GT4 being Sony I dont suppose there is any other way???

failing that, when I next come over to GDI/AWT bring the PS2 in and a telly and well have a race... not using no stinkin 172 tho lad! well, unless you can make it blue and gold

BenR · Mar 15, 2005

lol.

Get a cheap one from HK, you buy then brand new with chips, impossible to get them without chips. plus with the exchange rate as it is, cheap as chips.

Mine has been going strong for years.

BenR · Mar 15, 2005

Another update,

nothing really new apart from just assembling and blue printing the cylinder head getting ready for the final skim.

ECU, pressure reg, loom built and coilpack (not running dizzy anymore).

What he said!

MickeyO · Mar 21, 2005

have you picked this up yet??????

BenR · Mar 21, 2005

Nope, its still running through a few problems.

Mainly with the megane head to williams block mating extra waterways need to be added. Dry build needs to be done to check pistonvalve clearance due to extreem cylinder head work and face skim. If they are too close the pistons will have to come out to be modified.

Apart from that, all is on track.

Its ALOT of work this car.

Nafoff · Mar 21, 2005

massive respect,

BenR · Mar 21, 2005

To Mehdi for holding on as long as he has! lol

MATT BLACK · Mar 22, 2005

This is a very interesting project - im impressed.

Well done.

BUTRE · Mar 22, 2005

This is ace stuff.

Like we at Ford foruns say: RSpect

TheJesus · Mar 22, 2005

this f**kers gonna fly, think its time for any more power yet Matt? lol

(bet you cant get to 400bhp

DO IT)

BenR · Mar 23, 2005

ahhh.....but mehdis will have 200 extra bhps worth of noise!

clean16v · Mar 23, 2005

the noise, how i cant wait for the noise! the neighbours will love it

BUTRE · Mar 28, 2005

So... How is it going?

Rich_16v · Apr 11, 2005

Is the car running yet

Or better still has it had any power runs yet?

Progress pics ??

Cant wait to see it at the FCS

FincH · Apr 11, 2005

Got to say that looks amazing.

Hats off to both of you for the time, money and effort. So good to see people moddifying a car how it should be done, with time and respect.

Look forward to seeing/hearing the finished item.

Bealo · Apr 11, 2005

Its good to see the modifying game going from strength to strength and people still using a bit of imagination.

reading about it again will nearly bring me out of retirement!!!!!!

BenR · Apr 12, 2005

Its been on the ramp last week waiting for the right rack to turn up for the willy front end conversion.....so time to carry on.
