Good news! Still planning on bringing it to the ring next month?
Awesome news..
Everything back in together and running like a dream clutch is perfect thanks to chipall ready for blyton tommorow now..
No way this car is getting stripped
AWESOME news mate, really really pleased for you
So glad I could help you out with the clutch, would have been silly for such an epic little car to die over just the clutch.
Obviously with that one being part worn it wont last quite as well as a new one, but when it does wear out you can just send it back to helix and for under 100 quid they will put new paddles onto the existing plate I believe.

Just sent 2 clutch plates off to be resurfaced @ £70+ postage each.

Spent most of the day under the car not in it.. Tyrea were shite Oil return pipe split on track and was an absolute nightmare to get a new one on then on the way home bolts on the turbo started coming loose all in all a s**t day..
Conclusion the clio is getting stripped and me and my mate are doing another project together.. He has a clio ATM so both familiar with them and with costs ect should be better not throwing stupid money at this one just pure fun stripped and tyres
Chip thanks for the massive help with the clutch it was spot on ill be sending you some money over for that..

Surely you were expecting a few teething troubles on your first shakedown?
I think its a real shame if you give up just cause of a few minor dramas like that, all sounds pretty easy to sort.
Ive had far worse days out than that in the early stages of projects, its just part of the development process.
Although obviously if you just want to drive a car and not enjoy developing it then you'll view it differently to how I would I guess.

I was expecting niggles and yeah it is only little things but in all honesty with amount of stuff I've got on this year ill be struggling to afford to get the car out much anyway..
It is a shame as I look at it on the drive now and think that looks awesome but people's mindsets are different with fixing things time money ect..
In all honesty I wish I'd of kept the engine standard and spent the money on other upgrades but its all a big learning curve I suppose and don't regret doing it just at present I don't have the time and efforts to put into it that it needs..

Its easy for the last thing that happened to stick strongest in your mind, did you get some videos of you destroying normal 172s etc early in the day? that would be a nice momento
Its been a pleasure mate, shame we are so far apart though!
But it is still looking like we are moving to newark soon (although still no exchange of contracts yet so not certain) so I might even be able to get a bit more hands on with helping you if you do put it to one side till winter
I think you have to be fairly handy with the spanners to
run something like this, either that or have deep pockets.
For me for starting out doing track days I think you'd be better with a standard car engine wise and then Concentrate on suspension, brake and tyre upgrades.

Ah ok, cheaper option would be a vts and the parts are cheaper too
Gah can't believe I missed this - Joes a really good mate of mine and was trying to make it over to see how the 106 ran, completely forgot about it.
Gutted
Can't believe your breaking it - I know it sucks when you get out for a day and everything goes wrong
I'm sooo tempted to sell my bodies and boost mine though lol

Oh man - that's not good news. Better drop him a message
Yeah I know Joe from years back with the 106owners stuff - helped build the turbo car
Every time I go out in it I feel like selling my bodies and going boost
We should just swap - then you'd get a reliable 200bhp engine hehe

The decision I've made for the minute is ill be stripping the car but keeping the rolling shell and engine and starting from scratch getting the engine niggles and steering niggles perfect.. And using all the proper materials where at the min alot is just 'it'll do'
Engine wise taking my time on everything make sure every pipe wire ect near the turbo is fully heat wrapped all the down pipe ect ill also be going to 2.5" downpipe and exhaust instead of 2.25" steering ill be replacing all bushes ect and suspension..
New suspension,seats,exhaust,wheels tyres, ph2 flocked dash and engine all perfect there's no rush as Ill not be doing another Trackday in it this year
Hoping to have it all rebuilt by the end of the year to have some serious fun in it next

Yeah would like rid of the power steering pipes tbh just something else to go wrong and be in the way..
What they like to drive without power steering though never drove a car without it? Suppose it won't matter too much as it'll be track car but wouldn't want it to be too difficult

Excellent news mate
Will be epic once you have finished that lot.
If you can find a spare grand (not like they are ever really spare though, lol) for a diff as well its a great investment.
Interesting you should say that - spoke to Joe earlier and the issue he had with his 106 Turbo is he went for a drive out and the bolts holding the exhaust to turbo fell out
What bolts should you use?
