172 Cup Turbo
Re: Bateseys 172..
Right haven't updated for a while but lots of ups and downs with the cup, ups will become apparent In a couple months And downs being I had a fight with a post and need my boot and Bumper reprinting LOL
So she got a small pic in PFC..
Decided to buy some paint off eBay and paint the inside, wasnt the main choice but I got 5litres cheap so thought it was worth a go
Chopped out some unneeded brackets
And before today I didn't get any pics so I took one
Then I wanted to refresh my suspension so I spoke with Adam at Renault (very good service by the way!)
New wishbones
Ball joints
The coilovers were leaking badly so got cup shocks all round on cooksports springs
New rack bushes too
Must say I'm happy with going back to standard, have kept the pms top mounts and brace as that's investable IMO and obviously the white line rarb
Gave her a quick clean and polish this afternoon whilst the sun was out
Next few months include fixing the bumper damage and also a new downpipe and decat as my turbo downpipe has never been right
Also I want to buy a daily, I've now done 6k miles with the turbo on, I've changed the oil last week as my oil cooler went at the core but I was doing it anyway, I now don't run an oil cooler as its always been a pain with leaking tbh
Apart from a few niggles she's been good, pissing off scoobys and evos on the way home from work has become a love of mine,
Over winter I plan on tarting the bay up a bit, hopefully get the engine out and have the engine refreshed, also a few other exterior changes as the carbon is starting to look tatty for me, think that's it but I have probs missed something

Re: Bateseys 172..
Getting a daily is the best thing I've done.
Forecast snow again in October/November and I'll be chuckling to myself in the 4wd barge hehe
Good work on the paint. Looks good for a diy job! I need to get my roll cage re-done as I painted it with brush-on hammerite lol

Right so i've bought a daily runner so i can spend a bit of time on the clio over the winter, got a few plans so hopefully it will all come together
Heater box arrived today to make room under the scuttle panel to relocate more things
I also bought a new bottom end to rebuild but the courier seemed to ruin it..

Re: Bateseys 172..
Got the heater box fitted, isn't plug and play but once I got my head around how I could do it its wasn't a biggy,
I've just bought a new manifold which will mount the turbo over the gearbox, to be honest it wasn't needed but I've always wanted one so I bought one,
Got next week off work so hopefully I'll get time to start work on it as the tax runs out Saturday

Right this week I've been in the shed doing a few bits..
Firstly relocating the header tank
Then relocating the washer bottle
Because of this...
Then decided to find out what pump was in the ph1 fuel setup that I got with the original bbpt turbo kit
Walbro 255 pump so that's one good thing
Next updates will be manifold, and new exhaust downpipe
Until then ill leave you with some pictures of the parts I have ready for the rebuild

Right be been fabricating a few bits and my mates tig welding it all after I spot weld it all together,
Manifold is finished just needs die grinding a little

Bit more work done on the Clio over a past few days, glad that all the fabrication work is now done just at my mates being tig'd 
Coolant pipe work mocked ready for Jsperformance to work there magic when I drop these off in the morning
Dropped everything at my mates went home to have a shower, popped back and he has already finished a couple of bits!!
I'm hoping to have her running for Saturday night so I can test it all before getting the engine out and then the engine build will take place and fabrication on the bay will commence
More updates soon....

Its got quite a gap around it, that's why ill be doing a bit of testing next week to check these things, going to heat wrap it all though so fingers crossed wont be too much of an issue

Tbh mate, surprised there is not a lot more replies to this one as there is a lot of work in what you're doing and a lot of credit should be given to you for it.
I am thinking about making a tubular manifold but only once I get the thing running and sort out any snags. Think I'll still try and keep the turbo roughly where it is and go for a manifold like the rs tuning megane turbo one.
Love this though!
