My Inferno Story...

[t90_lle]

What did you have in mind? I think the gearbox will be my next big mechanical job, get a scrap one and rebuild and stick a diff in with new clutch flywheel and PMS shifter :smile:

I want to get a PMS shifter too, I'd like to get a cage and bucket seat but i quite like the idea of keeping it fairly stock looking inside for comfort so may look at Treadlines but need to sit in some to see how they feel. Id like to fit some 197/200 brembos also to up the stopping power.

Got my missus to knock me up some Turbo stickers by replicating the Trophy font...

Nothing too lairy just nice and subtle, got her to do a few sizes in red and grey and am thinking of just 1 under either RS or Clio badge on the boot... Opinions!?

If you get the 197/200 Brembo's i'll be watching that like a hawk as I fancy that mod myself in the future 😂

 

[Rojer]

I want to do that as well, but don't really need it when the car is NA lol.

 

[t90_lle]

Nothing major, new .net sticker came today so best thought get it on the battery cover for when I collect my car on Thursday :up:

I've had the ED an powerflex on there for agggges, will see how it looks an if it's too much I'll peel them off again.

 

[182_steve]

The ED one looks smart in silver at the bottom but don't want toooo many on there (imo), looks a bit like a list.......... see what it looks like when on

Poor Steve, he's getting old and blind these days mate 😂

 

[t90_lle]

Another little purchase to help with the engine bay arrived today from Renault Parts Direct.
Battery terminal cover as mine was broken when I got the car an since I run a metal battery cover I thought it best to cover one of the terminals to stop any little accidents happening.

 

[182_steve]

It's white mate 😊 haha

Just looked again and still looks silver!! But then I don't have my screen very bright lol, yes I can see the white now 😂

 

[Rojer]

Boost tomorrow whoop!

 

[t90_lle]

Can't wait!!!:grin:

 

[Rojer]

Can't wait!!!:grin:

What was the demo car like? Is it laggy or quite progressive? When does the turbo come in?

Demo car they had there was a 182 with a switchable high/low boost ecu, turbo comes on from 2500-3000 from what I remember with no lag at all.
Just can't wait to get behind the wheel of mine own as they wouldn't let me drive the demo car.

 

[Clio_fool]

Wtf? A demo car you can't drive!

 

[Rojer]

Wtf? A demo car you can't drive!

Too much power mate, end up smashing it up haha

I think it may be due to their insurance I would guess

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

Mountune were the same. Have demos of their cars but can't drive them.

Saying that, I went to a Ford dealer quite recently and they wouldn't let me test drive a Focus ST!

New battery terminal on within 2 mins of being on the drive...

Battery cover... undecided if I'm going to leave this on as yet.

Things to do to the bay before FCS17...
Remove or paint the engine hoist point/bracket,
Paint the upper mount bracket and gerenal clean & tidying.
