DannyR's 3rd Supercharged Clio trying to be Epic Build Thread



  182, SQ7, Trafic
Slow update again. Mainly involves cable ties...

Took the cold air feed out of my missus and put a fog light and pinched it for mine, might just be able to see it in the picture. Also got rid of that horrible carbon fibre wrap stuff at last. It pulled some lacquer off so will eventually need it sprayed!, but it looks so much more aggressive!

Black grille is staying as it'll go with the black badge, wing mirrors, side bits, handles and wheels. And all my silver ones are broken!

Pick up something special this weekend too :)
 
  182, SQ7, Trafic
Next weekend I'm getting it! I shall post some pictures.

Its similar to an alternator in looks and function. I do also need a cup alternator!

Looking good though, sure my brothers mentioned your 'flame grilled' charged one before, he frequents the bridge run if thats the one im thinking of.

Lol I don't think you can see it, it sits drivers side behind grille.

Who's your brother Chris? I may or may not frequent the bridge run ;)

I thought you were going to say that. It was me posting on his picture of that MP4 at Snetterton earlier. I was there with him!

Car looks much better without the wrap,are you going to uprate the rad with your conversion if so what are you using.
 
  182, SQ7, Trafic
Yea I will get a better one eventually, but I haven't seen any problems from past experience. I will do it though when funds allow.

Got the splitter sorted yesterday, back to the 307 splitter I had on my original Ph1. Looks so much tidier now at the front, even gave the bonnet and clay a wax to get any residue off from the wrap.

Looks good mate, still think you need a silver bit between the bumper and bonnet, looks like the car has a mustache! lol

I might fit this properly, f**king excited now.

Can't wait for the North Weald meet to be over so car can be stripped down and sprayed!

The engine will more than likely be ready to come out Sunday morning then it'll be prep work on the engine bay.

I've took one or two out before ;), but you can follow me back from North Weald if you want!

If it was me, i'd be out there now ;) As you know i was out fitting my 182 manifold when it was -6, dedication lol
 
We had been talking and s**t for a while.

Just lost the bolt that holds the tensioner for the cup alternator, it did an afternoon on track and drove home fine ;)

So whens it getting fitted? :)
 
  182, SQ7, Trafic
As long as its all sorted now.

Engine out next week, hopefully sorted and on the road just before May
