Good to see your not throwing in the towel! Shame it’s all gone south so soon though.
Make boris great again

Cylinder 2 (French counting) all the others were acceptable

 

[dann2707]

Bit of a cheeky plan.

Gonna go and buy an mx5 to tide me over summer then sell that. There's going to be nothing worse than wanting to go for a hoon on a late night drive and having a broken clio in the drive and a 1.7 n/a 55bho lupo as the other car.

Off to view one tonight or tomorrow

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

f**k that, buy a kitcar

Then you can have two broken cars on the drive

 

[Mr Plums]

Personally Dan i think its time to sell on/break or put back standard/sell parts and standard car and start a new project, just from personal experience with these, and when is enough.. enough?(financially and mentally)

Rusty mcrotten

 

[Euan94]

I wouldn’t check for rust, then you can sell it in good faith at the end of summer, as you will find it if you look!

 

[dann2707]

I totally get the mx5 hype now. It's so bloody fun. Done 90 miles in it today. There's something so good/refreshing about driving through a city at midnight with the roof down.

I can't wait to get it up to a decent spec. Needs deswirling badly.

Think it's a keeper though as the paintwork is impressive for an old car.

 

[dann2707]

Poor Boris is being retreated to the garage next week.

Done 350 miles in the mx since Friday and it's been incredible. Especially in this weather.

I can 100% see me losing interest in the clio completely sadly.

This car has has made me the happiest I've been in a week than the clio turbo has in nearly 2 years hahahaha.

So up and down with this car it's unbelievable. It used to make me so happy daily.

You're in too deep to go back to N/A with Boris. Just need a reliable engine to drop in that delivers a decent amount of bhps

 

[bashracing]

Another meg engine and remap on low(er) boost for Boris
The Mx5 will have Lowz and 15x9 rims by August.

 

[dann2707]

Bored of it for the time being. Maybe over winter when I get some garage time.

Me too mate, i love my little clio now its n/a again and its not had a single issue since ive had it, its such a relief, its bot like they are slow anyway, and i love chasing the revs round to the red line with the induction screaming ‘i want more.

[haimsey]

ITBs ftw....

Mx5 looks tidy from that picture! Just don’t get sunburnt having the lid down in this weather

 

[Rojer]

MX5's are awesome, it's probably the most fun i have had in a car. As you said driving around at night with the roof down is epic. I really want one again, but might go with MK3 this time. Break the Clio and turbo the MX5 you will be a lot happier.

 

[dann2707]

New plates for bae. Back end looks so much cleaner now.

 

[v15ben]

MX5s are great, especially in this weather.
Enjoyed driving my dad's old '04 Mk2, usually a bit sideways!

 

[Pistachio]

Can't help but think that roll-cage window needs a crosshair on it ?

They've always been an issue with it's image that seems to put some off but if you don't give a f**k what people think they're a bargain for the amount of fun you have.
A good example of people misjudging cars is my old next door neighbour thought my supercharged Honda S2000 was a girls car so i took him for a drive and scared the absolute s**t out of him.

Been wondering what to do with regards to the engine situation. I've seen recently that someone's meg 250 has suffered a similar fate of having cracked ring lands. This has really put me off the idea of buying a £1.5k engine, sticking that in and having it mapped again for if it's going to not last.

I don't want to forge the engine as Its a lot of money.

I don't want to get another 225 engine and put that in as it will just happen again.

Wonder if the bores look good I could just change the pistons to forged ones in situ? Anyone know if that's possible or would I need rods too? Not in terms of making more power but physically can I fit forged pistons to standard rods.
