Haha thanks guys it will be pretty good hopefully 
it's too bumpy, lumpy and horrid although I'm not taking it over there with the proper engine and dog box just a waste of wear
Haha we will have to see how quick I am at getting the bits required to build it up
Yes very different cams to look at compared to my 421's lol
Correct it's been suggested I do it with a router haha
It's only ever going to do Le Mans and back buddy I have no interest in using it on the roads other than that

That ramp angle is nuts to look at. Am I right that the only maching that needs done is a passage for the rocker shaft? nothing needs doing to the follower buckets, cam cover etc?

That's how I'm feeling at the moment! Kid in a sweet shop lol
As Chip says std rods and crank but then Supertech 13.2:1 high comp pistons knocked down with Megane head gasket to 12.3, ARP rod bolts, 421 cams non VVT with vernier pulleys that's about it really
I will s**t myself the first time I rev it above 8k I imagine lol
Ohhhh I'm just extra special my Santa is called DPD
clio cup race car
The crank ect I PM'd you about is here www.xrallyparts.com/
They offer a smaller throw crank , longer rods and larger bore slipper pistons , these would go well with the stuff you had off me

Thanks Ian yes I have seen that site before seem like they do some good stuff
will give them a call in the New YearSorry not been much of interest happening on the thread but things are still developing with the car. At the moment i’m just trying to learn as much as possible about the engine and how much of a task its going to achieve the figures i’m looking for.
Other than the engine the other work planned consists of:
Jobs for the course of the year:
The timescale for the engine is about 12 months so its a slow burner project but will be worth it in the end
Other than the engine the other work planned consists of:
- PMS shifter
- Lightweight flywheel and 7 1/4 AP clutch
- Rebuilt AST's
- New front discs and slight modification to the mounting bracket
- Brake servo removal and replaced with bias adjustable pedal box (Will be selling these in a few months once its all finally made and tested, its a very simple bolt on solution)
- PMS adjustable top mounts to be fitted (When its completed)
- PMS rear stub axle and larger bearing kit (When its completed)
- Refitting the Gripper straight cut dog box as they have redesigned the crown wheel and pinion to eliminate any future issues
- Strain relieved gear stick for full throttle gearshift's
- CMComposites fibreglass bonnet
Jobs for the course of the year:
- Further development of the suspension with modified ARB’s F+R
- Gearbox cooler
- Increase the sensor package to allow more data (Brake pressure, steering angle etc)
The timescale for the engine is about 12 months so its a slow burner project but will be worth it in the end
Just replacing the rotors as they are in need of changing and then mounting the callipers slightly closer to the centreline of the wheel as the current position the pad isn’t fully on the disc (I swapped to a larger pad)
172 Track Car
Ok I won't lie as it is very cool, the finger followers look nice, is that DLC coating on them? Lot of money to spend on a Clio!
Yes DLC coated unfortunately top end bits cost lots of money but thankfully most of the stuff I get isn't at RRP prices so that helps

Looks nifty, bigger components than I'm used to dealing with

Yes yes yes!!!!
Good to see you the other day buddy.
What do you normally do?
No mate as I said back end of last year will keep developing the car but unless I'm renting the car out or have a second driver then the car won't be raced 2014. I plan on doing plenty of trackdays and want to do a lot of European tracks. Just get plenty of seat time and enjoyment from the car. Also I find developing the car equally as enjoyable as racing/using it
Haha yes will be good although taken a lot of electronics to make it work for an H-pattern box as most of them are designed for up/down sequentials
Likewise mate we will have to meet up in MK sometime for a drink

Can you imagine being his accountant?
Hes moved away now, he's a Milton Keynes boy now so too far to carry on working with will.
Sorry not sure how I missed replying to this Neil, As Chip says though no longer living up North so had to leave Wills. I now like in Milton Keynes as the other half got a job done here.
Just got a phone call from Gripper the dog box is fixed and ready to go I’m heading back up North tomorrow and collecting it and then putting the car back together on Thursday. I can’t wait to drive the car again it feels ages and also been very odd not been within 200 miles of the car to tinker with it! I think i’m going to be doing Bedford on the 15th Feb so not too long to wait until I can drive it again
