I have a spade. And a big garden. Lol

 

[Ph1 Tom]

You'll be pleased @NorthloopCup the wheels don't clear the brakes.

 

[TarkMalbot]

The suspense is killing me but will we ever know now you know they are no use?

 

[NorthloopCup]

You'll be pleased @NorthloopCup the wheels don't clear the brakes.

Oh dear mate. What's your thinking now then?

 

[Ph1 Tom]

Maybe ats superlights. The pro race will probably stay now tbh.

Got my beam stiffening kit done and I painted it tonight.

 

[Korky]

Beam looks good tom, what are they like to fit?

 

[Ph1 Tom]

Not too bad mate, just got to play around with brake pipe routing. I put Powerflex black bushes on it too, you have to press out the crusty old ones.

 

[Mini182]

I did the pms stiffening kit with powerflex black series beam bushes on mine. Great mod, really tightened the back end up nicely.

 

[Chambers_RS]

I've got the stiffening kit and the pms bearing kit to fit.
How come you boys went for the powerflex bushes? There's no downside to the Pms bearing conversion over black series is there?

I think there was something about PMS saying the beam kit plus the bush kit would be too stiff and lead to bent beams?

 

[Mini182]

I think you are thinking of there rear axle bearing conversion kit, there is a little more give with the powerflex bushes than a bearing.

Also I can see how this would cause the beam to bend, it will have been strengthened after all.

 

[mark123]

If you have no rubber to absorb shocks then knocks to the beam can damage the shell.
I've not heard it happen on a clio with these kits fitted though.

 

[Ph1 Tom]

Ordered some different wheels again, hopefully I'll have more luck with these!

 

[Ph1 Tom]

No stock in the US of A so it's a 90 day wait for the new wheels. I'll probably forget by the time they turn up and I'll have a nice surprise!

 

[Martin.]

Did you not say what wheels they were or did I miss it?

 

[Ph1 Tom]

I haven't said

 

[Ph1 Tom]

:sob:I'm going to need to change the thread title and my forum name very soon

 

[Mr R.]

:sob:I'm going to need to change the thread title and my forum name very soon

Spill the beans.

 

[Ph1 Tom]

I'll update with photos at the end of the week will miss the Ph1 though

 

[Martin.]

Can't believe you've sold it

 

[Ph1 Tom]

The Ph1 is getting cubed. I took the rear door cards off to trial fit the cage and the sills are funked on both sides. To say I was gutted when I saw it is an understatement. The MOT is up in early April so to save any hassle swapping my private plate over I thought it would be best to make a move now.

This is one of the sills

This is the one I've paid the deposit it on and will be collecting on Thursday.

First things will be to get the plate transfer sorted. And I'll start swapping parts over when I've got my March 13th track day out of the way. What I'll end up with is the best of both cars and some spares to sell on like my engine, ITBs, ECU, buckets, cage etc.

I am tempted to keep my cylinder head though because mine has supertech valves whereas the one in the cup is on standard valves.

 

[JamesBryan]

Nice purchase there Tom. Should be a solid car with the engine rebuilt by Fred!

 

[Martin.]

s**t that's some nasty rust!!

Great purchase though, that car looks like a bargain!!

Interested to see how you swap parts about and what the end result is.

 

[Mr R.]

That explains the Ph1 shell wanted add.

After seeing that add mate I thought you may have binned the car.
I went a bit dizzy tbh.

*goes home to rip my rear trims out*

 

[Ph1 Tom]

Yeah the rust is right the way through the sill, both sides. And on the driver side it goes up and around the inner to outer arch seam.

One of my considerations is to put the Ph1 front end on the cup.

 

[TarkMalbot]

Lovely Ph2 you are getting. Look forward to reading your progress with it.

 

[nath&alex]

When I last spoke to Adam about shells, they were quite cheap. But he was talking a 3 month leadtime though

 

[Cub.]

How have I missed all these fun and games! Sorry to hear about the Shell. Do we think that's a common problem? I may need to check the flamer - lol!

New one looks nice, and with a blend of the bits you had previously it should be brilliant.

Can you PM which wheels you tried, I'm buying some more for mine and have a big long list of 'ones that don't fit' so want to add it to that!

Welcome to elite Clio ownership (ph2). Awaits ph1 fanboy rage. X
