197 clio 16v
New dash looks alot better very happy with the fitment around the cage now my last attempt was a little rough 😂
I was there, didn’t realise it was yours that had spat oil everywhere but it made a mess of park and chris curve for sure. Hope you get it sorted without too much issue.Went to cadwell Thursday my favourite UK track, all seemed to be going well just before lunch I was coming round crane of curve's the car completely span out no chance of saving it I was very confused as the car usually gives plenty of warning when the back is coming out. Turns out the gearbox had punched a hole in the bottom and dumped all its oil into the rear wheels 😭 any way I managed to keep it out of the wall with full throttle and some luck. So expect a new box and some changes to the car over the coming weeks

@Williamspaul - what suspension do these run?
Nice to see it’s getting spottedView attachment 1660557Have been reading through the build threads as a new member, coincidentally saw the car at simply french a few days a go. Love it. Chatted with a few of the other valver guys and found out one owned my old one j425 mlf. Small world
It’s great fun I really love the car and all the attention it gets in the pitsHow have I missed this!
Love it, looks great fun on track.
Had a delivery yesterday I took the plunge and purchased a clio 200 engine as a donor. I’ll be using the pistons for the higher compression maybe the rods if they are better, the valve springs as they are stronger and the cams too these little bits should push me over 200bhp quite easily along with the other supporting mods I already have.
However do need to research if the 197 valves are any better as we all know 172/182 valves are prone to dropping for whatever reason but I’ve never heard of a 197/200 valve dropping before.
