Djw Daves Turbo Clio Reincarnation Project thread - Updated 11/11

Well as Im sure most of you are aware Djw Dave and myself built a 1.7 Turbo Mk1 Clio recently which he used with much fun for far too brief a time until some scummy b******s broke into it, stole plenty and damaged it.

How it started about 3 years ago iirc

At FCS 06 on its coilovers, black wheels, monacos etc etc

Back on the road following the turbo conversion with its 3rd interior (new reclining buckets, black carpet etc etc)

All ran well for a month or so on the run up to FCS, then the alternator died, no worries we thought. Took it to Daves work and left it in the yard. Obviously someone liked the handywork and decided to break into it :(

So now we've decided its too good a shelll and had to much time and money spent on it to scrap it so its track time for it now! We dont like to do things by half so heres whats happening now!

How it looked earlier this week

Pretty much just some wiring to come out once we've figured out what we can lose!

Due to the break in damage we've had to replace the door, figured may as well start lightening it!

Must make some sort of difference! Plenty to be grinded off from elsewhere inside!

Wheels and coilovers are also off so they can be sold

Surely it would be cheaper in the long run to keep the coilovers as you will have to buy another set of the track!?! That seems abit backwards.

Good luck though lads, its looking very stripped.

It probably is a bit backwards, but at the moment i need the money for a road car not just a bit of fun every other sunday. :(

Im sure springs and shocks will be more than up tp the job. Ideally we'd keep the coils but needs must!

Bit :S by Clart as well!

On the front we are running valver/willy 258mm brakes and currently a rsi rear axle but will probably change it to the spare drum rear axle we have, wont make any noticeable difference tbh
