Hi Porkie,James, what you doing on Feb 28th?
Chip and Me are doing Bedford. Open pitlane. Will be a really good day. I'll have a few different cars there including my Clio.
Hope you can make it. Love to have a nose over the Clio, maybe a little tear up on track together!?!?!
Tony you around for it?
I'd say go for it Tony, I would't mind But it will be back at my house by then which is half the reason I can't make it as working away from home that week so would be massive effort to go all the way home, get the car, take it to track and then the same all over again after Although nearer the time I'm sure I'll be desperate to get back in the car so we'll see if I can free some time upI'll sneak into Matts and take it down.(only joking)
Lee,I'll have a look and see if I'm free.
Don't bring the Westy you hooligan.
You can have a drive if you like? Its a pussycat!
Oh hell yeah! I like this!
You loved it!

Almost 16,000 people have seen you head bobbing about in it now!
Should have a new exhaust on it by then... so can up the boost, as was bit gutless. Hoping to stick 2.4 bar up its ass on that back straight.... see if we can make the jump to lightspeed

I will have to see nearer the time I think unfortunately mate, as still got loads of work around then and its just the issue of having to trek home and get everything so will be two missed days If I can work some magic with my diary though I will definitely be up for it so watch this spaceI am an idiot. Its saturday 25th.
Hope that means you can make it!
EPIC car Porkie I have so much want for that car!! NEED...THAT....CAR!!Goes ok... for low boosties. Its only 695kg and has 500bhp and 440lbft so it should go well even with my fat ass on board! Not the 'best' type of engine for these...
but LOTS of fun and proper hooooooligan mobile
Thank you mate, very kind Yes I am really looking forward to it, Thanks I will keep updating with anything interesting and results!Love the Clio James...looks perfect IMO! be to good to see how you get on when competing too, definitely keeping an eye on this thread
Sorry mate I will put some more up next week when I get back to the UK!This thread is a bit boring due to the low picture number.

I love the fact that the only criticism in the whole thread is because we haven't posted enough pictures of it! Busy dev week on it next week but I'll get a few of the floors, gear gate etc etc

i got bored so i remapped the ABS to suit, its easy really. Oh and i'm going to mess about with the EBD to introduce some brake steer cos i can"
Hi Mårten I will make sure I get plenty of pictures of the car next time i'm with it The gearbox hasn't got a cooler installed yet I think Matt mentioned that there is a provision for one incase it is required in the future!+1
Offcause we need more pictures of such and epic build. Interested in gearbox cooling pictures pump and rad location etc.
Hope I inspired you to get som propper fiber on the car aswell
Haha I think they just like taking the box in and out of the cup for practice Stuhaha i was spending yet MORE time looking over this last night, in between prepping mine for Matts wiring skills, and watching Matt wrestle his gearbox back into his clio...
gotta say, the more you look at it and the closer you look at it the more touches and details you notice.. will be interesting to see how you and Matt take things further on this..
That is definitely a question for Matt as i'm not sure but i'm sure if anyone can do it then Matt will be the one his knowledge of the clio's systems is EPIC!So you are able to re-program the stock clio abs unit and make it use brake steer á la McLaren? Can the brakebalance be re-calibrated in the EBD aswell, for bigger front calipers etc?
Thanks alot Mark Driving is the main plan for now but got some good ideas for future developments! I can't wait I will hopefully see yours on the 16/17th on my way to Donny if its still at TDF then!Hi James. I saw your car on Saturday when I dropped mine off with Matt. Looks very impressive!! Looking forward to seeing what you do next to it. Mark
Ahhhhh so you own the silver ph1 mark, i beleive ive met you breifly once at tdf before... Your car looks damn nice.. i also saw the parts your having fitted in the office.. ive yet to hear if im on welding duties but whoever does them it'll be interesting to see what you think to the difference...
Stu..

Haha I certainly will be doing and this thread will always be updated when even the most minor mod is made Ahh perfect well I will look forward to seeing it and i'm sure that once I see your painted rear beam I will have to have a go at mine! Thanks for that I will look forward to it! Did Matt take you out in mine?
Well make sure to divulge your ideas as they come along as there is no copy write on Clio’s!! I'm not likely to be collecting the car until Saturday 18th so it will probably be with Matt and all finished by the 16th/17th - ask Matt to take you for a spin and let me know what you think.
Haha lol! What colour are you doing yours Mark? Im guessing not orange ?Metallic orange rear-beams and wishbones are the new Clio in-thing at the moment – didn’t you know!? Perhaps Matt hadn’t owned up but it looked like your car had been involved in a weird accident because it didn’t have a front-end or a passenger seat so I don’t think he could’ve taken me out. Plus neither of us are 8 foot tall!!
