My Clio, not a project thread just a few pics!

[ben_p]

Got it back last month, havent done much with it. It's about 90% ready anyway.

Just needs some weight saving, decent set of coilovers, an the engine sorting.

How it is today

 

[Christopher]

F*ckabout. Where's this been for a few years?!

 

[ben_p]

At AWT

 

[Jon.G]

Want. Ph2 rear, Ph1 front is for winners.

 

[ben_p]

Dragged it around the drive with 4 flat tyres in the range which is also a new edition, the v8 was dying so upgraded to a facelift!

 

[Revels]

Good work!

I miss your mass Machine Mart purchases to do one simple thing.

Yeah, grabbed some bits last week.

Started buying second hand bluepoint/snap on stuff on ebay though. Costs about the same either way!

 

[Djw John]

At AWT

Ah. I thought he'd bought it he'd had it so long.

 

[Feirny]

Thought this had gone long ago!

Nice to see it back.

 

[Craig.]

Whats the plans for the engine this time ben?

 

[Gray]

woooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh... Blast from the past!

I can remember when we went do to AWT and stripped parts off it!!

 

[Gaz_]

This was collecting dust with my old Cup iirc!

 

[Cro]

Lol excellent, this is the thread I used to come on looking for updates when I first joined... years ago. I figured you'd just given up and moved off clios Ben. Whats the plan of attack then?

Was anything done while at awt?

 

[Conlon]

i loved this! didnt realise you still had it.

 

[ben_p]

Not much planned for the engine really, it has a set of 402's in so just a filter and exhaust, maybe a rs tuner etc.

Main plan is to strip weight as much as poss and get the suspension as good as I can. Not going mad.

Fancy somthing like a r8 or 997 turbo or a G next year so want to just keep this simple and fun.

 

[ben_p]

The PAS is coming out, running Volvo 440 alternator (if I can find one with brackets) can't believe how much that lot weighed with the air con etc.

Bought a new aluminium jack as it's low entry.

Subframe off to so I can mess about with the rack and also to change gearbox

Gearbox out

Got it all back in before dark, just need to sort the rack out in the week too. Took all the abs out too Inc master cylinder etc as I've bought the whole cup setup from Josh.

 

[SamP]

s**t lad. Thought this had gone the way of the dodo.

 

[Conlon]

looking good, what have you used around the cage where it goes through the dash?

 

[Adam]

Im sick of working on this piece of s**t tbh lol!

Just blow it up and by a 911 Turb ffs

 

[Chrisjk]

Blimey, get those white 2118's back on so it's back to its unfinished glory.

[Adam]

Mnerrrrr

 

[Owen]

Sure this was in the corner of AWT when I had a service there in Nov 08. I thought Ben had said he had bought it though?

 

[JD]

F*ckabout. Where's this been for a few years?!

I was just thinking the same, then read Ben's AWT post and sadly laughed!

 

[Fletcher]

Great car this.

 

[ben_p]

Will post up some pics next week when Its further on.

Not much to do really, need suspension though as the H&Rs are too soft

 

[chrispy.clio]

I can only see the top half of every picture!

Such a great car. Your going down the same route I have with using the same brackets and removing pas ect

 

[Marky_]

I can only see the top half of every picture!

Same.

What a blast form the past this is.

 

[jamie.91]
