Re: Ph1 172
Well now that it's all together and working I thought I'd put up the full spec list. All the parts are brand new apart from the exhaust and manifold really so its like a new car to drive, absolutely fantastic! I've probably missed bits off too!
Engine:-
Piper cams
ALD ported head
Supertech valves
ALD matched inlets
Billet flywheel
Borg and Beck clutch
182 exhaust manifold
KTec sports cat
KTec recessed exhaust with centre box
Relocated ITG filter
PMS AC delete kit
Vibratechnics engine mount
Remapped by RS Tuning (see page 5)
Transmission:-
Rebuilt Ph1 gearbox with shorter final drive (3.89 to 4.07)
Quaife ATB
Renault shafts and CVs
Vibratechnics gearbox mount
Powerflex dogbone
Steering:-
FAI Tie rods and rod ends
Renault rack bush kit
Suspension:-
Cup shocks and top mounts
Cooksport springs
Cup wishbones and ball joints
Eibach camber bolts
Spacers front (16mm) and rear (5mm)
182 front ARB
Powerflex ARB bushes
Whiteline rear ARB kit
Geometry setup (see page 6)
Brakes:-
DS2500 pads
Brembo HC discs front
Mintex discs, pads and bearings rear
Stainless braided brake hoses
ATE Blue Fluid
Interior is standard bar the following:-
Snappy retrimmed wheel
Bluetooth headunit
Cup rear seats
Lightweight battery under passenger seat
I have a set of fibreglass bucket seats and clip in harnesses I was going to use for track only. These save 20kg over the standard seats as they have no runners or side mounts, just bolt straight in on the frames.
Exterior is standard apart from:-
Stainless tow eye
Pressed plates
Standard OZ 15" alloys painted satin black
Tyres are 205/50-R15 Federal 595 RS-R
Can't wait to see how it goes at Anglesey in 10 days time.
I'm getting an alloy bonnet to fit, remove the tar/sound deadening, sort out some brake cooling ducts then that's it for a while.
Future plans are polycarb windows and hopefully a better inlet setup. I may flare the rear arches slightly and get some hub spacers for a wider rear track and some AST top mounts for more camber.
I can't think of anything else I want to do with it being a road car.

Re: Ph1 172
Here's the cup rear bench. A little easier to remove and fit for track days and better for the kids seats. (thanks Cal!)
And I trial fitted one of the bucket seats. Nice and light, cheap, Very comfy, great seating position...happy Tom!
And the new tow eye, taken the fogs out to sort the brake ducts.

Re: Ph1 172
Traffic was horrendous and I was late home in a mood so I sorted the exhaust out.
Didn't fancy cutting the bumper and the 3.5" tailpipe looked too big....
so I lopped it off...
And then put a 2.5" rolled out on instead. Not perfect but its better now so I can live with it.

Re: Ph1 172
Track day went well. Only issue was not having enough camber so some AST top mounts are on the list of things to do. Wouldn't mind a bit more power so looking at ITBs again for early next year and some weight loss, so Foamalux door cards, polycar windows and an alloy bonnet will be the additions in the near future.
Quaife diff was put to good use and works nicely, much better than without one. So although it wasn't the cheapest modification it was one of the most noticeable.
I was impressed with the Clio overall, managed to pass both DC2s and S2000s with ease as well as the GT86, a few of the Westfields. I didn't stand a chance with the 911s, GTRs, M3s, Radicals and race cars though!
Nige off here was there in his Mk2 Golf that was very quick for what it is, he took some photos of me on track too so thanks for that
I was hunting this yellow thing down and he would not move. No track etiquette at all. Really pissed me off. Reported him in the end. I was glad to see the photo of the wheel off the floor though
GTR tried a shortcut
And my budding photographer was taking photos too

Re: Ph1 172
Saw the doorcards Dan made for his ph1 http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?644646-Dan-s-Ph1-track-fun-car-project/page4
So I've ordered a small sample of the grey foamalux in hope that it matches the interior. If not I'll get black.
I'm on the lookout for manual windows too if anyone has any?! Or at least knows what car I can get them from.

Re: Ph1 172
Manual windows will be easily sourced from any proper pov spec mk2 ph1, will be about a million in breakers all over the country.
Lovely car btw.

Re: Ph1 172
I had manual windows in my old phase 1, just picked the regulators up from a local scrappy.
Easy to swap over.

Re: Ph1 172
Believe it not I weighed in a powdercoated cup subframe...whoops! Swapping to a ph2 subframe would lose caster though wouldn't it?
I can get 3.2 from the camber bolts and ASTs. Should be better than the 1.8 I've got.

Re: Ph1 172
Nightmare... My cup has the same caster as your car and most others I have seen have had up to 3 deg caster.
4 deg caster and 3 deg camber sounds better my car uses every bit of its 4 deg camber when it folds over in the corners.

Me too! I fitted one to my Ph1 at the weekend.
Great stuff mate, I was shocked just how much lighter the alloy one is.

Re: Ph1 172
One for safe keeping lol.
I have one on my car and a spare in the garage.

Re: Ph1 172
Well I am not happy. The wheels turned up quickly and they are all fine but they are heavy.
How they can sell something that weighs 7.5kg when its advertised as 6.2kg I don't know. Where do they find an extra 20% of weight from.
Wish I'd have plumped for the Ultraleggera now.
I'd send them back but haven't got the time to be faffing around trying to sort it.
Here's one anyway.
