Agreed. Although having the drivers side scoop on the window helps a lot.

I noticed the scoop looked nice and neat ,
Where is this one on the drivers side window chip - not seen that before. ?
I've just looked that bit closer . Lol

Yeh. Poly carbs in sunlight aren't fun. Mapping a car in sunlight on the rollers with no opening windows was utter HELL. I lost half my body weight through sweat that day.
Thats why you should do what I do and find some mug to drive it on the rollers while you sit in the cool breeze at the side to map it...

I don't see why they don't make a swear filter optional. On by default but if you change the option in your settings it's off.
It should at least be half-clever and not censor links imo.

Downside is the noise they generate imo. The popit vents I've got in my front polycarbs are awful! Leave you with tinnitus at every available opportunity.
I sweated my tits off last time out

I take back the roof vent as I thought it was a stick on effort.. not functional!
Look forward to videos

Flol @ thinking mitch or me would put some random stuck on scoop that didnt do anything.
Videos of it going mossy are about all I can manage for a while I am afraid, abandoned for a bit now!
Ah right, so you're the guy that prevented me from having the perspex windows even though I'd agreed a price! That's happened before!
Dont know mate, I bought it from CSOC, so didnt see any discussions that might have been going on here on CS.
I just said I wanted to buy the shell and cage and windows all as a job lot, I cant comment on anyone who expressed interest in anything else as I know nothing about any other offers mitch might have had.
I guess it was more attractive for him to sell the lot in one go than to have to separate it if you were negotiating for just the windows?
Cool
Yeah I am hoping this will be a really good car when its finished.
Current thinking of spec is 300bhp turbo with 6 speed box and LSD, and AST shocks, with 6 pot brakes.
Charged clio? would be more work but something different, food for thought
Ive no interest in that, I think turbo is a better option than supercharged, and I am far more interested in it working how I want to than in being different.
If I wanted to be different, I wouldnt have a stripped blue cup, thats the least original thing ever, LOL
If I want to be different, I will take out the mid engined saab powered nova instead, this car I just want to work well, not interest anyone other than me just for the sake of being different.

Not going to lie. SC isn't exactly original anyway.
True enough, Ive been in a few personally, so they are definitely out there, although they are still far less common than turbos.
But the reason turbo conversions are so popular, is they work so well.
Also, I still have the turbo engine from my ph1, so the cost to me is really negligable to do this, literally just need to bore a 197 block so it bolts to the box I am now using (R26 one) and then bolt the engine back together, where as I would have to spend a lot of money to supercharge, just to make it what I feel is a worse car afterwards.
Ahh fair play, I didn't no you already had a turbo engine
personally I love the sound of a whining supercharger I no they need power to make power apart from that i no nothing else lolAhh fair play, I didn't no you already had a turbo engine
thats true of a turbo too, it still gives just as much in the way of parasitic losses anyway as although its not on a belt it massively increases exhaust back pressure which in turn saps power from the engine.
No need, I have a focus RS one upgraded with a billet compressor wheel that will do the same sort of power (well it would do more but I only want 300) and although the twin scroll would pick up slightly sooner, this one picks up more than quick enough for what I use anyway so that would be no advantage to me, and would mean new manifold and downpipe etc just to not gain anything useful, plus the one I have is brand new as well.
Looks like this will be a good project.
Have you found an R26 box? I'm selling my R26 engine block, manifolds etc

R5 gtt, R27 F1 team
Move found an r26 box yeah although it needs a rebuild but at least I can use it to mock up.
Don't need any engine bits thanks mate. Have everything for that side of it other than injectors and intercooler pretty much.
Getting the shafts sorted on the ph1 197/172 conversion first then once that is on the road (hoping for November sometime) and has done a few miles to prove all ok I will start on the cup soon after so hoping to start on it about Xmas time ideally.
