I've not been disappointed with the standard pads for the money.

 

[George182]

I am thoroughly looking forward to seeing this!

I find standard Brembo pads fade within few miles of hard driving.

I've not had them on a huge amount of time but they have seen one track day. Not suffered with any so far. I'll see how they progress.

 

[Martin.]

Wow, this is turning out to be a serious complete Clio package. Love it.

Can't wait to see how things progress over the next week. Bet you can't wait!!

Very interested to see how you get on with the Brembos under OZ F1s too. x

 

[Flat Eric]

This is coming along nicely! Hope to see it at some point next year

 

[Dan@Greenlight]

Ooo, exciting!

Hope your insurance company is cool with an intercooler? ;P
In all seriousness, drop me a pm when you need any changes and I will whack them on your policy for you bud and let you know.
Good luck
Dan

[The Russian.]

Wow! Where did you find those brembos @Cub.?? I've been searching for ages and can't find any!:tongueout:

Flol!!

Really?? There was a set on eBay breaking on an inferno 225.

He wanted £140 for the pair chap.

He was taking the piss out of me chap. I couldn't find any on ebay all day. Text Mark and he found the ones I bought immediately

Link to the broken inferno?

This car has taken a wonderful turn

Cheers bud. I nearly killed it earlier

Went down to get it. Took it on a road test to data log it. Ran great, then it ran a bit Rich and cut out luckily near to Dans on the way back.

Wheeled it back in. Did a few checks and discovered it didn't have a Megane keywayed pulley on it like I thought it had and had pushed the timing out 😧

Totally my fault, Dan had asked repeatedly if it had the pulley and I thought it did.

Corrected the timing, and fired it. Luckily it was absolutely fine. Could have smashed itself to a pulp, so someone is smiling at me today!

Getting the pulley and throwing a new belt on, so mapping on Monday won't happen. Aim for late next week hopefully.

Tbh mate it had the Megane crank bolt, so it's an easy mistake to make for someone who's not in the know

Still, got away with it so it's all good

 

[NorthloopCup]

Lucky bear!!!

 

[Dan@SJM]

Lucky bear!!!

Pretty much word for word what I said.

I had faith, as it cut out gently, still had compression, spark, fuel. So next step was Timing.

It went as we came off a roundabout just coming into the estate, but literally 1/4 mile earlier we were at 6000+rpm!

 

[George182]

Phew - lucky escape!

 

[debussetti]

I'm getting excited about this and I've only ever seen your car stationary.

 

[marinemackay2003]

Could have been a costly mistake

Very lucky to get away with it

 

[Dan@SJM]

Best. Post. Ever.

 

[SharkyUK]

Lucky, lucky bearstard! Thank goodness for that though!

 

[Gray]

woooah mega lucky!!!!

 

[Cub.]

I should have gone out and bought a lottery ticket to be honest!

I'm so excited about getting it back. Like a kid at Christmas.

 

[JP83]

I'm so excited about getting it back. Like a bear with a picky-nic basket

[NorthloopCup]

Your hubs have arrived mate.

 

[Cub.]

Your hubs have arrived mate.

Excellent. Cheers for letting me know

 

[Budgie]

Proper shed.

Some photo's on Facebook... looks good!

So, update time :smile:

I've just got back from @Dan@SJM's. In the flamer. What can I say, it is quick. Very quick. It pulls and pulls and pulls. Despite not being mapped, it is running well with the datalogger showing the AFRs as being fine to run it back and upto RS Tuning on the 13th for final mapping. I can't wait to get it on track, but on road, i'm very happy with it so far :smile:

Sounds epic, loads of 'theatre' to go with the pace. It feels like a much larger engine has been dropped in it, with a lovely smooth power delivery and great throttle response. I'm impressed.

Huge thanks to Dan, he has done a great job and in my opinion it is a really tidy install. Top man!

It had the following fitted / done at Dans;

- Rotrex Supercharger kit with associated boost pipes and hoses (Ignore the blue ones, they are being swapped for black on the intercooler and white one on the TB).
- Gen90 ECU
- Magnecor Leads
- Mocal Oil Cooler
- Mocal Catch Tank
- ARP Rod Bolts fitted
- Dry side Driveshaft
- Cambelt kit
- Megane Keywayed Pulley and crank bolt#
- New sump gasket
- Aux kit
- New Alternator
- Oil change and Oil filter

Enough of my waffle, photos;

Up next, get it mapped at Paul's. I'll post the graph up here. I'll be happy with anything north of 230 bhp and 200 lb ft. Then sort the Brembo's and fit the roll centre adjustment kit along with some aerocatches.

 

[The Russian.]

Fantastic, bet it's brilliant to drive

Works looks proper tidy, Dans done a great job, definitely have Dan to carry the work out on my next Clio

 

[JP83]

Epic update is epic!
You're going to have soooo many requests for passenger rides now!

 

[Cub.]

Cheers guys

 

[Tim.]

You're going to have so much fun driving back from Leeds!!!

 

[welshname]

You're going to have so much fun driving back from Leeds!!!

Yep. He'll be able to get up to 50mph for three seconds before dropping down to 5mph and then rapid back up to 50mph

Hateful section of motorway

 

[Jekyll]

Does look a tidy install

 

[Dan@SJM]

Thanks guys

Was a pleasant change from doing routine servicing, and allowed me to actually display some creativity and my workmanship even if it did mean an 830am start with a 230am finish one day!

 

[TimR26]

Great work Oli and Dan :smile:

Looking forward to seeing how quick it is!

 

[George182]

I can't wait to see this in action!

 

[Mr Plums]

Excellent mate, quick build too, mines been gone over two month lol.
