This is an on going thread called " from rags to riches "LINK - http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?733461-From-Rags-to-Riches&highlight=from+rags


but I know most people cant be bothered to read 4/5 pages to see the last pics so I thought I would just show you the finished product :rasp:



BEFORE

AFTER

Many thanks

 

[Gray]

Quite a turn around!

Good work

 

[LukeJ]

Looks so fresh! Engine out jobby?

Whilst it looks good, surely that cone filter is in the hottest part of the engine. To be honest, that doesn't really matter as filters do very little power wise anyway.

 

[Addicted]

Tidy, but I thought the tubing going to airfilters/boxes was a certain length for a reason. I'd extend it back out to be the original length.

Aside from that looks good, much less clutter without the battery there!

Personally I'd relocate that induction kit, and it looks like you have fitted a brand new coolant bottle only to fill it with the wrong coolant.
Overall it looks much better though.

Why is it wrong ? Coz its not green ? No mate. Its gylose based so its right and ive not mixed the colour.




And as for the filter its not permanant in that position.

Just a bit mate. Look through my " from rags to riches " thread to see the work ive done.

 

[Stefan.]

[haimsey]

Very tidy. I fitted a new coolant bottle this weekend. Amazing the difference that makes on its own tbh

Had a sneaky peek through that, amazing work! Looks brand new

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

Good effort, very clean that

Where you planning on having the filter , more down towards the passenger headlight on some 45 degree tubing or similar

yes mate defo. Get it away from the header tank. It was a peice of pipe i had layin about so i just used it for now just to start her up

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

Good stuff mate, update it when you do

 

[MonacoDan]

Great turn around!

 

[MG cup]

Very nice indeed. Where did you pass the loom through the upper bulkhead and did you retain the multi plug into the cabin?

For the air filter I would just build a small box and run a straight pipe a la cup racers. From what I have seen some length on the inlet trunk is better for power.

 

[Rubicon_]

Hats off to you mate that's some effort, well done!

 

[leeds_182]

Nice bay.

 

[MiniRebel]

The difference between Night and Day, good work, slowly getting mine roadworthy, next job will be the engine bay after looking at yours

 

[reedy107]

My proper pipe turned up tpday , so had a little mock up

 

[cat171]

Excellent turnaround there :approve:

 

[George182]

Very nice

 

[Fred@BTM]

you might want to refit the old rad cap to the new bottle, the new lids they come with are the wrong pressure (good old renault!!)

 

[JAMason]

going to drop my clio off with you and you can start it all over again if you like

Looks awesome pal! Can only dream of mine looking that smart!
