Lovely day for it.

Perfect weather for a boosted car!

Not been a great day so far, not even got out for sighting laps yet due to the fog!

Agreed.

This was way worse

On the computer so i'll post some pics i've had saved. When at EFI I saw my twin. I've changed back to phase 2 lights now but if I hadn't it would be scary close!

Same seats, wheels, brakes, bumper ties, spoiler, cage, colour. Pretty weird!

And as it was my birthday I went home to see my parents. Washed the car before Cadwell the day after..

Then the next day was this with @leeds2592 !

The conditions were not ideal

Had 2 and a half sessions before it was called off due to fog which is a shame but the car performed really well. It's very fast!

Then some pictures from the day.

I want some firmer springs up front but i'm also not wanting to spend money on the car as i've spent enough. Just want to enjoy it. I could spend thousands chasing perfection.

My brakes were good but starting to go again towards a session. This ducting arrived so I need to fit that sometime.

What ducting is that Dan?

Got a link?

 

[Clio_fool]

You copied someone's build? All respect lost??

Good to hear Boris is finally running well?

 

[20vKarlos]

You also need to post a weekly if not daily video of you just randomly driving around!!

This car sounds so flipping good... how do I get one!

 

[Coops Mk1]

nice man, shame about the fog but least you got to stretch Boris' legs a bit

 

[haimsey]

Good to see him getting some use!
Ph2 lights look better imo

 

[Mr Plums]

Awesome Dan, im really glad it got there in the end mate

Hope it's not a selfie ?

 

[dann2707]

Cheers Tom.

Up for sale next week.

 

[Mr Plums]

What? Really?

 

[dann2707]

Nah. But I don't care about it anymore.

Weird to say but a few years back I saw it as a home not a house. Now it's a house.

Sure it's fast and faster than a lot of stuff on the road but in all honestly I have lost the bond. Simply put, I don't care about clios anymore.

I don't get the clio buzz when I see another sport on the road now. I couldn't care less.

 

[Krarl]

I’m sorry have you taken copious amounts of drugs recently?[emoji848]

Please don’t say you’re selling it because we all know what happens next

You buy a w**k VAG car, sell that, buy a Megane, sell that, crave a Clio and end up starting the whole cycle over again

It's all that southern ale that's addled his brain. Get back t Yorkshire for some proper bitter and where the fun roads were built for clios. ?

Onwards and upwards buddy, i felt the same with my old 182 turbo, it was fast, but i didnt like it as much as when it was standard, i think ill be going vag soon.

 

[Akay]

As you know, had the same feeling with my 172 after pouring £££ into it. Since buying the MR2 ive realised theres better cars out there for a lot less spend if that makes sense!

 

[dann2707]

Nothing much to report other than I've completed boost. Kept snapping my original shitty boost clips to be expected as they are made of cheddar so upgraded them to jcs high torque.

Been driving it to work a fair few days which has been a great laugh. The speed it picks up is just amazing.

Doesn't half get through fuel though so I'm glad I have the daily too.

Not much else to say really haha.

Got a few things to sort out but they're boring and not worth documenting!

 

[dann2707]

Well Boris is la deaded hahaha

Got to work this morning with crazy high blowby levels. Gas pissing out of the oil filler cap. At the same time I've found the knock sensor disconnected so that's probably caused the issue if it has been running mega advanced.

Anyway it's been fun whilst it's lasted.

I now need some next steps on what I'm going to do next. Will have a think at a later date.

 

[incy-spider]

Is the knock sensor even used?

Mine was mapped at ED and unfortunately had the same issue. the standard pistons crack easily, just a s**t engine! .. had to get mine forged in the end

hopefully you can sort it dan

 

[Krarl]

Ring lands on Megane pistons are made from chewing gum and spit

This thread is an emotional roller-coaster!

It's had the odd hiccup for sure. You want gut wrenching disaster see sharkys trophy thread[emoji23]

 

[Mr Plums]

Boosted clios dont work from experience, unless going forge, even then i wouldnt trust it.

 

[Stay Puft]

Is the 250 engine able to be slotted straight in?

 

[JamesBryan]

That would be true if it was an N/A engine to start with.

Is the 250 engine able to be slotted straight in?

Practically the same engine, just vastly improved internals. Gearbox mounting i'm not so sure.

 

[dann2707]

Is the 250 engine able to be slotted straight in?

It is mate yeah. Definitely a no brainer imo

 

[Cerrone]

Gutted for you mate but glad your not just breaking it! Hopefully be fixed and ready for csf....... ?

 

[dann2707]

Haha not a chance but I wish. Cancelling insurance tonight

Yea mine was n/a to start with hence the ‘from experience’ quote.
