Very nice, Is this Korky old boost setup???
It is indeed!
Got bored, fitted the intercooler. (dont worry, ends have been taped up!)
And the money shot:hearteyes:
Can mock up some of the pipe work now/trim the bumper on the passenger side as its tight. Just giving myself something to do untill I have exhaust/ecu sorted

I really like this car. Looks so good.
Today with the help of a friend I fitted this beauty! Pure motorsport stainless system, centre silencer and de-catted.
It took us 30 minutes to fit the new system all in, no leaks/blows and no issues. The best/easiest fitment of an exhaust to a clio ive ever done. It also weights in at nearly half the weight of the shitty 1.5" system and cat that was on there.
Surround needed!
All in very happy with this! Doesnt sound much louder than my previous exhaust with a cat and equal quantities of silencers, with your foot planted it is louder and makes pleasant noises but still isnt over kill! One step close to fitting the turbo now with this out of the way, hopefully it will be even quieter once running boost

That exhaust looks tasty!
To keep this thread alive,
Been collecting some parts.
Coolant Temp sensor
Thermostat & seal
Coolant
New exhaust mount too replace the powerflex'd one
Centre exhaust hanger
Cat fitting kit
Throttle cable
Megane 225 Spark plugs
Sump gasket
ARP bolts.
Still waiting on a new expansion bottle, then I will be changing the cts, thermostat and coolant. Want to make sure its running properly before the turbo goes on, waterpump isnt that old so wont be changing that.
Only need a fuel pump & ecu, then that should be all the parts needed for the turbo to take place

Also is your sofa from The Range? We had a set very similar in out flat.
Private seller off eBay Mark, I've been scouting high and low penny pinching on parts lol
Na it's a DFS special the sofa

Dan, how's that PMS exhaust? Any louder? nicer sound to a k-tec stealth do you think?
I've been thinking about changing over. Looks like a proper piece of kit too!

We was penny pinching when we bought our sofa, couldn't afford DFS. Lol
Need to find the cheapest place to get them for mine.

Its proper quiet IMO, my neighbours said the noise is no different to the s**t exhaust with cat so it must be quiet! And its a much nicer and less droney system than the ktec, it might get louder in time. Its probably done a 100 miles tops since I fitted it.
Should really get a video of it!
lol, this was a while back when work was good and I wasnt buying turbo's lol
No idea where is cheapest, not that many places sell them and the places that do dont differ in price greatly I found
Sounds like a nice upgrade then!
I may have to look into it. Be sure to tag me when you have a video. Be good to hear the difference.
My k-tec with cat and center silencer still seems to drone to much and would prefer a more raspy sound.

Duh, me/work. Leave it to me, if I feel the need for them.
Following on from this thread; http://www.cliosport.net/threads/am-i-mad.771513/
Ive decided to make a sensible decision in my life for once and I am selling the turbo kit; http://www.cliosport.net/threads/turbo-kit.773784/#post-10737448
Bit sad I never fitted it, at the same time I cant miss what I didnt have. No point it sitting there whilst I debate my future when the money can be in the bank and someone else can enjoy it!

That's the clever decision. Decent trade and future prospects over a wee bit of boost that costs double the price of the car!
Always one
You can borrow it with a very competitive monthly payment scheme
lolIm glad you see sense lol, once the kit is sold I have a set of ARP bolts you maybe interested in?

Always one

I did it with itbs mate so I know the feeling.
You gonna keep the front mount behind the bumper though? Cos thats all that really matters.

So fitted some bits recently,
Coolant Temp sensor
Thermostat & seal
Coolant
New exhaust mount too replace the powerflex'd one
Centre exhaust hanger
Standard engine mount (Waiting on the gearbox mount to arrive to fit that).
Car is alot less rattly/shakey already and doesnt feel any worse to drive so will be selling the solid mounts in the near future.
Also picked up some new seats from an r26, going to be fitting these along with a 172 rear bench.
Also fitted an exhaust trim, pretty happy with it.
So basically turning it from being a sort of half arsed rattly thing into something nicer to drive. Thats the plan anyway

Would love the seats, fancy blue ones?
Look great mate, love the different approach you're going for.
Proper subtle.

For a minute there I thought I'd started reading the wrong thread.....
....putting interior IN, changing modified parts for standard parts....
You've changed.

The blue seats wouldnt match my pink carpet in the lounge where they will be living for abit so no deal lol.
Cheers, im done with solid mounts and low seats. Going to make it so its enjoyable to be in again, well half nice I guess.
lol.

Im just old before my time, give me a few months and ill be childish again now doubt :wink:
Cheers, it looks odd but the spoiler is damaged on one edge, has a bit of electrical tape on it and you cant tell. If I got it sprayed id have to have it fixed/ it would show the broken bit lol. If I ever see a flame red cup spoiler come up for sale I would buy it!
Fitted new gearbox mount tonight, in standard form. Car looks nice in the sun so heres a pic; (hasnt been cleaned since last cs meet, in March iirc. Only done 200miles or so since then. Mostly to @DannyR house lol)
Suspension has been softened alot too, going to pick more parts up tonight and its all cross country so I will be testing/ fine tune the dampening :smile:

Ohh, what you picking up?
I went out in Alex's car the other day. It rode so nice I actually forgot it was on coilovers. Lovely and soft.

Nice change of direction, although selling the turbo kit penmouth:
May have been clever, but it was also silly :wink:
I'm all for stripped out cars, but when you use a car daily it can take away the enjoyment. It's all about the creature comforts.

So headed to @AlexW 's house to pick some bits up/let him fit a standard shifter.
Whilst alex was doing the shifter I got bored and begun fitting bumper as it isnt broken so doesnt need aero catches, passenger head light as my adjuster didnt exsist and a cable tie was used to level the light lol and an ali bonnet.
It now looks like I crashed it tbh
Oh and fitted the trendlines, also fitted a rear bench and some other bits too.
next up?
Debating a 197 wheel next, unsure on that
Also need to bring the rear up as it looks s**t at current
Get front end sprayed inc wings
Fit splitter after paint, probably a skoda one
Get a dent man to take some dents out
