[Brian172]

Sounds awesome mate.

 

[James28]

The first pic you put on this thread of the car looks amazing.
The first five door I've seen that doesn't look wrong. Lovely colour. Those sideskirts look huge!
Sounds absolutely awesome as well.

 

[Hutchie]

bike boddies FTW they give a louder bark than jenveys

 

[Cro]

Just win win hutch in everyway

 

[Hutchie]

two fingers firmly shoved in the air

 

[bomber]

Cro, do you know what bike the bodies were off?

 

[Cro]

Blackbird bodies mate, no strangulation here...... at this bhp anyway

 

[bomber]

legend, cheers mate

how easy is it to get a manifold off Jenvey to fit them to the clio block?




*goes to the breakers...

 

[Cro]

Well this setup is using a standard f4r jenvey manifold and an alu block to connect between the bodies and the manifold.

 

[MikeyK18]

Cro!!! Apologies for not noticing the epic awesomeness of this thread!

Need a drive out in the beast!!!

Love it!

 

[W4tson]

Brilliant stuff!!! Always wanted to see a 5 door conversion

 

[Cro]

Just worked out the mpg for someone, getting an average of 28mpg going to work and some short journeys to the gym and what not.

Can be alot less if when put the boot down.

One of these on the way most likely under the passenger seat when I get a chance

 

[Cro]

Cheers to the old lady who thought it was a good idea to reverse into the side of the car.... awesome grrrrrrrrr

 

[MikeyK18]

WTF!! HAs she admitted liability?

 

[Cro]

Started that way and then changed her mind towards the end of me taking her details, gutted tbh. She would need to admit to her insurers or i'll be very upset

 

[MikeyK18]

Did you phone the police? Their presence wouldve made her admit it! lol

 

[Cro]

Awesome craic

 

[Bazzon]

That pretty nasty.

 

[Cro]

Well got the car back just in time to clean it up and do a few bits and pieces for a show today.

Got the rad fan wired up and working grand so that stopped it overheating in long traffic, and got the battery and it's cage under the passenger seat which works a treat!

Paint match on the fixed door isn't bad but it came back with no coolant and missing an exhaust trim thanks guys....

Also got a hold of some classic mini sill trim and used that on the cutout on the grill just to tidy it up. Mikey took some pics at the show so i'll stick them up below and you can see.

Zetec blacktop crank sensor arrived so need to get that wired in so I can get my rev counter back working

 

[Greeny.]

very fit

 

[subarufreak]

car looks brilliant

 

[Cro]

Cheers guys, couple more. It's actually rediculous what difference a camera makes

 

[saltyhair81]

crikey. I love that. Good work matey

 

[Cro]

crikey. I love that. Good work matey

Cheers, just waiting for you to finish sticking on a new airbox so I can see what happens and steal it

 

[adam1942]

very nice cro you take those vids up in Mallusk?

 

[Cro]

No my private driveway adam

 

[adam1942]

oh I remember your driveway now.. anyway congrats you will need to take me out in it when I come down for you to do a service on the R27

 

[Cro]

No problem mate cheers. Think i'm gonna take the plunge and buy my own set of cam tools so i'll be able to to peoples changes. I'll let you know.

Got an R27 due to arrive in 5 mins actually, must go change

 

[Jamesstone]

Engine bay looks really smart mate, Sack the original terminal box off & get your self a little junction box

 

[Cro]

Yeah james, on the list for tidyups but that was the best method I had to hand. Now get back to work on that airbox!!

 

[Tigger]

I've always been a fan of this car, and the owner is a good friend :approve:

Awesome stuff, fair play to you Steve :hail:

 

[Arran_182]

Thats awsome....take it you couldnt fit standard 172/182 skirts?

 

[Cro]

Wouldn't want to mate. Certainly not about doing the usual or conforming to the norm. I'm sure they'd fit though

 

[Hutchie]

confused on your plans for the rev counter... i have a much easier setup

boddies look better in that bay than the bay they used to be it

 

[Cro]

Lol please divulge hutch. My counter worked fine on the standard sensor but then it packed in during mapping and i'm using a random Renault one now. Seeing as the ones normally used are the zetec sensors I though I'd pick one up

 

[saltyhair81]

Cheers, just waiting for you to finish sticking on a new airbox so I can see what happens and steal it

lol - sorry just been a bit pre-occupied on a few things which have slowed progress down.

It's not a bad fit with the jenvey setup but I'm not happy with the space the mouth is left with

If you want it pm me mate

 

[Tobs]

hahah that look mental, great work there mate

love to see someone doing somthing different

good job

 

[Cro]

That is all

 

[Russ_16v]

Sweet, bubble wrap!

 

[Cro]

Lol that's half the fun Russ, right out of the box too!
