Clio ph 1 track car

[Duck Hunt]

Well here is my new project a ph 1 172 track car .

Before I start this is my first clio and looking forward to it a little bit of my car history ,was big into the show seen with the rs brand done this for a few years then started doing track days when family come along and the rs had to go .

Then I started doing track days first car was a Evo 5 done one day and thought to myself to expensive if I crash or break so ,got a primera gt was such a good car ,then a 306 rallye and now the clio .

Its not going to be a mega expensive big Buld just a fast road come track car to do lots of days and enjoy .

A few of my past cars .

And now the clio it's a really clean car with 120k on the clock ,first thing that I done was put it on the rollers and it done 162 I was happy with that for the miles and age .

Its got ebachs on there at the mo so I have purchased some new clio cup shocks to go on ,then will put new disc fast road pads and new bottom arms on to freshen it all up ,my bucket seats will going in tonight I will get some more pics up.

Love a nice Evo 5! Adore 3dr Cosworths.

 

[Duck Hunt]

thanks evo was a nice car just to much money if i had a off.

Done a bit more to it today stripped the back out of seats and carpet ,taken the front seats out which weighed a lot and fitted my bucket seats in ,they have been mounted on omp frames a little bit work was needed to get them in they are 40mm bigger then normal for the fat folks and they are a lot better for long journeys .

all done

changed the bulbs in the front lights just make them better and not like candles .

get my steering fitted when my boss turns up ,change front shocks to new cup items and bottom arms ,888s to be fitted new discs and pads and then hit the track .

​many thanks as always to gold blend who does the work and I just watch top man .

Great additions to the car!

Get some camber bolts on there and get the camber up to max.

Do they actually help?

 

[Duck Hunt]

how much extra camber can i get with with the cup shocks and then the camber bolts as well.

 

[Duck Hunt]

Sorry for the lack of pics ill get some up the weekend ,steering and boss is all done suspension is all done cup bottom arms all done just need to get it set up .

looking for exhaust
arb
Front rear strut braces , if anyone knows any for sale .

 

[Ph1 Tom]

how much extra camber can i get with with the cup shocks and then the camber bolts as well.

I maxed out at 1.83 degrees so I'll be getting some AST top mounts which can add an extra 1.4 degrees to that.

 

[Duck Hunt]

Finally got the correct shocks so all new suspension ,brakes ,seats are in harnesses are in steering wheel is on .

Next on the list is to get the car set up ,exhaust, some new wheels pro race 1.2 ,arb so if any one is selling let me know ,and exhaust hanger mod .

Not gone for a total strip just yet I will leave the front door cards and carpet in for a bit of comfort for when I drive over to spa and the ring ,went with a complete strip on the last one and it was not nice on a long drive plus it's not going to save that much weight and on a track day it will be good enough .

 

[Gold Blend]

Looking good...

 

[Duck Hunt]

Thanks to you for doing it all

 

[Fred@BTM]

are the seats on the piss or just a bad pic?

 

[Danith]

Primera GT - Thumbs up mate I had one as a runaround for a few months and I was so impressed by how it handled for a saloon. Overlooked bargain track car.

 

[Duck Hunt]

must be a bad pic ,the seats are mounted on omp sub frames and omp sliders and are level .

 

[Duck Hunt]

Not updated this for a while ,got the car nearly finished now ,finally got new whiteline fitted ,camber bolts and new induction kit ,I'm not stripping the front out just yet driving to do trackday at spa and the ring end of May .
Done a few trackdays in it and it drives well handles well and can put some newer faster cars to shame ,next up rs tuner next week .

my mate come round so went for a blast in this trying to get it him to track .
