Few pics of my turbo'd cup

[R29TJR]

Great work mate.

Love a clean arch.

 

[MrBlonde]

Nice work mate,looks sweet!.

Think i’ll be getting some 2118’s later on this year,may try a bright silver on yokos.

 

[Scrooge]

That does look bloody great!

 

[Cerrone]

It looks lovely mate! Makes such a nice touch doing the arches! Are you in the West Midlands?

 

[Jekyll]

That looks wicked!!

 

[mintno1]

Thanks mate. Just some Wilwood 4 pots and a Quaife Diff now mate. Then it’s done and I can just enjoy driving it. I toyed with putting a stronger head gasket in and having a bit more boost to put it up to 270 ish bhp but to be honest it is fast enough for the chassis as it is now. I would also love to start powdercoating bits in the engine bay as it looks a bit tired. :smile: It’ll be too good to drive soon. May as well donate it to a museum ha ha

Sounds good, would love to put a diff in mine, it's on the list but not sure whether I will ever get to it :smile: Are you running low boost at the minute? Seems to be the sweet spot for reliability & useability, friend had one running high 200's/300 but it did need constant attention, to be fair he did give it some at track days as well though :up: Got to get out and drive it though

Yes mate. Just outside Stourbridge in Clent. Thanks for the comments.

Yes bud. It makes 235bhp and 227lbs ft and to be fair it is rapid as it is. Just be funny to have a switch that gave it another 40bhp if the mood took me. Probably asking for trouble though and I want to keep it reliable and considering it was a Mr Greer creation is hasn’t done too bad. :smile:

 

[-Simon]

So I took the spacers off and tried the others but they looked absolute w**k so put the others back on. Decided to give it a clean and took some more photos:

Tucked back up in bed now until the roads get better.

 

[Daz...]

I know I’ve said it before, but I love those seats!

 

[MrBlonde]

Glad I could be of service mate. :wink:

Yours looks seriously good on turinis though....

You know it makes sense :smile: seeing how good this and @Dr Jekyll looks makes me want to get some too 😂

 

[Jekyll]

So nice!!

Seeing this has swayed me to get stickers for my 2118s again.

 

[-Simon]

There you go - just for you too:

:smile::smile:

Well this is not helping 😂

 

[MrBlonde]

Haha!,i would like to get 2nd hand ones as would make sense to respray them rather than a new set.

Yeah the turinis do look cool & im not selling them either way,so can always put them back on sometimes.

Im planning of getting mine off this weekend for a proper good clean!.bought loads of wheel cleaner,Wheel sealent & tar remover to get rid of the old balance weight sticky stuff.

Photo shoot day soon tho in the summer is a must i say :up: @Dr Jekyll @BoostedSi & anyone else :smile:

 

[Jekyll]

I'd be up for it for sure. It's just hard as not all of us are local.

Yes definitely mate. If you all live in Essex i’d say Northampton/Milton Keynes is about half way between. I’m sure we could meet at a pub for lunch and photos and drives in each other’s cars etc.

 

[MrBlonde]

Yep mate me & mark @Dr Jekyll are in essex aswell as a few others,so i would say hour & half drive maybe 2hrs drive should be fine for all of us??..were sort a thread soon & get a date/place sorted for the summer months

 

[mintno1]

I am up for this, I am sick of winter so would be good to get some dates in the diary for something good to do in the Summer :up:

 

[182_steve]

This looks better and better with the more photos that are posted - wheels with decals look great :up:

Oh yes, and has anyone mentioned how awesome those seats look?

 

[GeorgeH]

This is the perfect Clio! Really nice, credit to you sir.

To answer your earlier question I had 20mm bolt to hub spacers but required shorter bolts. I bought them from carparts4less and they were h&r.

 

[Cerrone]

Yes mate. Just outside Stourbridge in Clent. Thanks for the comments.

I used to love in kiddy I’m just down the road In Droitwich now:up: when the weather gets better will have to go out for a drive mate!

 

[dann2707]

This is simply perfect.

Yes of course mate. Just let me know.

 

[-Simon]

Why thank you sir. Yours is equally nice. Would be interesting to compare turbo power at some point. Love our project thread. Could also do with my injectors cleaning if you fancy it? :wink:

Thanks for the info matey. I want to keep my TPI bolts so will probably buy some 50mm ones and get them cut down with a lathe

 

[GeorgeH]

Good idea, or just cut the bolts down ? It only needs like 3mm off

It sure would. Are you going to csf? And thank you
Absolutely, just drop me a pm and I'll try and give you a good price to get them done mate.

Don’t normally go to CSF to be honest as I don’t do camping. May come for the day this year though. Brilliant i’ll do that as it does misfire occasionally on full throttle and can only be injectors now.

 

[Jekyll]

Yes come to CSF!

 

[-Simon]

Yes come to CSF!

Do you have to do the 2 days or can you just drive up on the Sat for example and go home?

 

[Jekyll]

You can do anyday you want mate. Some camp on Friday and Saturday, some camp just Saturday (that's what I normally do) and some just come for the day on Saturday and drive home.

So we'll see you Saturday :wink:

You may well then bud yes. Bring your camera :tongueout:

 

[MrBlonde]

Ah shame,as i wont be going to CSF this year!.

 

[182_steve]

This is what I plan on doing this year, already have my Saturday ticket bought :up:

 

[-Simon]

Just about to go out for Sunday lunch. Weather is lovely soon thought i’d Scare the other half to death...go out for a leisurely drive....to the pub. Love how the paint glistens in the sun.

 

[MrBlonde]

Iv done the same today but to crappy lakeside with the missis.


Thats what i like about the cup mondial,looks so nice once waxed and in the sun.But when its diry and dark looks not that great.

 

[182_steve]

😂 did you get the 'if you drive like that again i'm not getting back in this car' ?

Looks VERY clean there tho!!
