thought id resurrect this project sins it been back up and running sins April last year
i wont bore you with all the in between bits or car to car but yes i did crash the original car unfortunately, i think i was out of a 200 for about 2 months and then this is where it kicks off from
IT'S BACK!!!
Finally got a hold of what I'd been waiting for!
My new car haha (ill try and keep this one on 4 wheels this time!)
The photos are crap as there just off the website and I won't have it home till about 15th/16th of April but it'll be worth it miss driving the clio so much stuck with a fiesta 1.25 ATM but its better than walking!
Full fat cup
Recaros
iPod connector
And only 7k miles on the clock!
Next up will be refitting everything off the old one haha
First photo of the new car after it was cleans properly (evens halshaw are a joke)
Lovely Scottish weather in the background, can't beat a summer day here haha
Need a bit of beading
UPDATE (tyres+V6 box)
Well I got my tyres on and can say I will be buying them again, takes a bit to get used to the grip and the bedding in time takes a few 100 miles not much at all! Good bye ****isports!
V6 BOX
after one failed at temped if fitting it I tyres again with some help from Angel (thank you a lot!) I bought a 90degree elbow 76mm to 67mm pipe from autosiliconehoses.com on Monday night and got it today I took 15mm off each end seemed to be enough as it fit ok but was to long the way it came, it's now all fitted and I'm away to try it out!
So in short save you're self some money and just buy a V6 box a filter and an elbow haha
not been on properly for a while and the car has had some changes recently
first was the debadging
from this
to this looks much better and fatter at the back, I LIKE!
then i has a spare RS badge from my last clio so got creative
really sets the back end of with the black diamonds as well
then i finally got my rear brace back from the painters and stuck it in the car! feels more settled with this in not sure if its just because i know its there or not but its a winner in my books and completely free so i cant complain
heres the only photo of my car from the last north east meet because i was late haha
been slack at work for a while and thought id make myself another brace haha
got all the measurements while the car was on the ramp getting its 2nd cat and silencer remover( sounds great with the V6 box! almost no flatspot compaired to when i just had the panel filter in)
looks and feels so much beefier than the crap that renault put there you can bend there one in your hands its that flimsy, 2/3mm aluminium at best and spot welds ftw! compared to the 5mm stainless steel pipe which is solid!
just a photo on the car
something a bit different to the ultraracing ones
went to the track day at knockhill that was organised by mike, it was brilliant thank you for all the effort you went to to get it all running smoothly mike!.
the car handled brilliantly a lot to do with the R1Rs and the braces i think! no need for fancy suspension the factory items are more than up to the task, lap times were coming out at about 1:10/1:12, i thought that was quiet fast for my first time round
the backs were getting used!
i thought after being hard on her id treat her to some new oil, gearbox and engine
so this came from opie oils after only ordering it sunday night
very glad i did buy this as this is what came out of the car
gearbox oil at only 12,500 miles, how this is meant to be for life is beyond me, also looked like there was metal flakes through it like a metallic paint should i be worried?
and this was the engine oil after only 7000 miles
these are two videos i got off the go pro

Ordered some H&R springs ant the weekend and got them in today so decided to fit them
before
And after
Got a set of projectors off of @
Craig211 so had some free time this weekend and started to fit them. Let me know what you think! both full and dip beam are 35Watt HIDs so light should be really good once it's back on the road haha
Before
during
After!
And that is how it is currently sitting ATM may have forgotten to add the photos of the matched inlets but that it really i think
