I'd love to put a 175 megane engine in my clio. Doubt it would fit though/I dont have anywhere near enough money
Thats an epic build tbh!
Have to agree there was quite a few epci builds going on last year. Ph-reebone, Burp, Beaniemoo, foxy, whitely, Bazzon/Barron, but there hasnt been really anything new cropping up on the clio front.
I've been following r1xph supercharged BMW build, obviouisly the Twingo, but there doesnt seem to be much else, and most projects, including my E34, are slow moving. Maybe thats just a sign of everyone being skint?
To the OP.
Maybe a case of recession "and" you can now buy bolt on turbo/super kits so no need to put up big threads on the builds?

There is a very good build thread coming soon ( or I think he's doing one ).
A member on here has bought Chris' (480bhp.com) Trophy and is doing something pretty awesome with it.

If you're wanting to see good build threads you could do one!
He is doing a build, however the fucker has been going on for years. The thread would be around 1000 pages by now and mainly full of spam.

There probably could have been more threads if people could be bothered to keep them updated.
Im sure very few look forward to mine but i'm going to keep it updated for 2010.... 5 doors or not!
Foxys has the drama, like an episode of eastenders or something. You never know whats going to go wrong next :rasp:
Barron/Bazzons has the track **** element all of us want in our cars and some awesome ideas
Hutchie has the complete mental ideas and epic DIY'ing which I love looking forward to
Ph-reebone has the stuff happening to his that we all wish we could afford to do/ pay for

This is so true, I haven't been on here that long, 1 year I believe, but I noticed very quickly that if you spend a lot of money on something different or extreme, especially something different, then people slate you!
I admit that im not perfect but if someone has tried something different and they like it praise them for being different, don't tell them they are fools. Constructive criticism is fine.
I remember one thread about someone talking bout fitting a sc and he just got a fair bit of s**t, luckily he did it and his car goes like hell and looks amazing!
Tbh if I did something that cost a lot of money to my car I could think twice about starting a project thread, because I know I would get s**t for it! Having said that when I start my job and buy a second car :evil:
Completly agree with you. But i also think that when someone does something new that people slate them for straight away, a few months down the line everyone loves it and copy them. (Doesnt always happen but sometimes).
Its your car at the end of the day and your money. You only live once. Never let people stop you from doing what you want to do just because your scared of having it slated. At the end of the day you are never going to meet alot of the people on here so just ignore them.

I guess so, I'm not usually to bothered bout what other people think, but I think the point of the forum is so like minded people can talk about stuff etc... it just annoys me when you get all the haters.
This is my plan....just bought a house with a huge double garage/workshop. Will be buying a little MX-5 to drive around in for the summer....and in the mean-time strip/bucket/play with/fully service/re bush and revamp the suspension (98.5k car) on the Cup.
Tempted to do look at forced induction too, and having Northants Motorsport less than 100m from my house will help with getting it all finished off etc.....
Oh and I plan to take off the last of the stickers too in the next couple of weeks when I get a chance, for all those interested lol :rasp:

I think the fact people are struggling to get loans will have an affect on how many projects happen... Loads of my mates took out loans back in the day to mod their cars... It's a mugs game.
In my eyes keeping it simple / reversable or desireable means you won't lose much money. Being unique and only appealling to a very small audience means you'll lose ££££'s. Which I won't do!

There are some really good projects on the forum you just have to look really hard to find them, due to the amount of "NON projects" in the projects section (IE ive painted my bullets and badges threads)
Our Project has been slow the last few month due to one thing or another but its full steam ahead for carl now till the 31st May, then sometime soon (hopefully) we will get the new engine back. Which is a pretty unique spec, so should be interesting to see.

Yeah, I completely understand your argument, but then is it really a project? I'm not saying that the lightly modded cars look s**t or are rubbish, I think some of them look amazing, but are they really proper projects?
Think what Bazzon said rings true, there are a lot of non-project threads in the project section!
Iceberg 172
TBH 9/10 "projects" on every forum are more "my modding diary". The serious projects are far and few between on every forum.
I've never actually done a proper project and until I have ££££'s to lose then I won't.

I'm not sure you understand car modifying then. I don't do it so get themoney back, I do it because its my hobby. My Dad andmost of my matesspend £000's a year on golf. I spend mine on my car!
If you're doing it for financial reward, then your hearts not in it imo.

The very reason I no longer visit the section. Its awash with bilge. I don't care that you've painted your bullets and fitted silvervisions and a skoda splitter, fcuk off out of the project section!!

agreed ive probably missed a few decent projects, but i only really read the ones i know are proper builds, such as Burps/Foxys (and ofc when carl does work on our car that i dont see.)

Agreed with the previous posts. People think there car is a project when they change the alloys, add some silvervisions, paint an inlet and maybe change the suspension. This is NOT a project.
A project is about doing something unique, changing many different parts, a story (f0xys thread). Serious work.
Saying that there are some good projects still going on:
f0xy
Whiteley
Beaniemoo
Burpspeed
Ben_Stevo172 ( until hes sold it)
Andrew Cooke (twingo 172)
Floodie (clio TT)
Cro-Clio (5dr ITB)

Going to blow my own trumpet a bit here though, i am trying to update my thread as much as possible to keep people updated. There has been approx £5000 spent on an engine, £700 on a cage, £600 on a dash, £800 on suspension and many more ££££'s spent. Not only money spent but also plenty of custom bits, such as cage and plenty of fabricating. I would say that its a high expense, high love and high labour project.

My project thread was simply a diary, I even labelled it as that. I simply cannot afford to do something awesome with my car. Plus the fact its spanking new. (well, a year old now but you get the idea)
When I get my next car (which won't be a clio) there will be a ghetto project thread on it in general automotive media, thats for sure.
I miss that trophy that was having some epic work done to it. Stripped back to bare, sandblasted etc. WIN! Shame it all went wrong for the guy. Hope to see a project thread from the new owner tbh!
Dan you couldn't have put it better. Modifying is a hobby, not a job. It's never about the money. Ever.
(that build-threads website is going to consume my life tbh...)
