  MX5 MK2.5 SVT 1.8 Sport
Hi everyone, iv not really introduced myself before so my name is Rob, i live in Preston and go to Myerscough college doing a BSE in motorsport! My reason for hardly posting is that im always busy doin hard, unpaid work :D
Anyway my Clios changed a lot over the years and i never really saw the point of posting every little thing that iv done (risk of being slated)

16 OZ Ultras
G-Max shocks and springs... still
Supersprint manifold
Peco full system (very soon to be replaced by a KTR stealth as they didnt make it two years ago!)
KTR drilled discs, with awful ***** pads tbh
Custom exhaust mountings
172 twisted dogbone
Ben P's top mounts (still to be fitted, probly this week)
Viper Induction kit
Ported throttle body (done by myself)
Awsome macro speakers as i bought the car with none (not really my thing)
Origional classic matts
KTR cage sprayed satin black
Half colour coded by myself using 2 pac (nearly mullered my sister)

Except for the exhaust i dont really know what to do next. I was thinking coil-overs but i dont want to adjust the tracking and camber everytime i change the height. And setting the damper rates would bore me on a road car tbh. I only got the shocks as my origional ones emptied themself of fluid around scotland and they were nice a cheap. They handle well too despite what other people say.
So far iv snapped two dopbones (dynamique ones), went through 4 coils at once through a water splash lol, two bottom ball joints, track-rod end, four sets of tyres, driveshaft, gearbox and exhaust. Not my fault as my origional gearbox split along the casting marks :dead: all my engine mounts were screwed putting all the weight on the standard dogbone.... and the driveshaft was my fault over a speed bump at myerscough which are huge!

I was doing the car as a rep, but stopped as
1. I like the dynamique
2. I spent all my Money on tools and engines
3. I would of had the worlds most pointless car
4. I hate spraying!

At the mo im saving for a track car and keeping my clio as my road car because my girlfriend wont let me sell it (happy memories) and it does 50+ mpg and i dont drive like a tool on the roads.
And before anyone askes, i dont want coil-overs, i dont want a sport (except for a track car) and a 'proper cage' is pointless in a road car tbh
Anyway the first pic is when i first bought the car (exhaust was gone with-in three days) and there all in order with what iv done. Enjoy :D

Hello Rob, what a small world! I know your sister Emma and am very good friends with Shell who used to live across the road from you! Emma was telling me you were into Clios when I got my Cup last year!

Car looks great- lot of hard work gone into it and it's paid off. I love the supersprint too! :)

Aye will do next time. I wouldnt bother it was like 6 years ago! Thanks :D

Cheers mate, its the part thats made the biggest difference tbh. Exhaust and viper did naff all

Indeed. Money well spent!
Its just where to go from now. My mate Jay is building a 500bhp UR Quattro and thinks me and him can get the TT engine in. He even has one ready! I think a standard looking dynamique with a tt engine would be a great road car. Only problem is id need another road car! Until i get my sport its staying like that tbh

It's been done already fella, and does fit... with "a few" mods. LOL

Send a PM to MATT BLACK... he did the conversion originally.

Pics of the Ur?! Sounds Awesome!
 
  MX5 MK2.5 SVT 1.8 Sport
Aint got any at the mo, but hes on the UR forum (bit of a nut case) Iv been watching Mr. Matt blacks progress and not norms and thats what gave me the idea. Id love to know who owns it now. The alternative is to use my old manifold and make a turbo clio

That is what i was thinking of doing. If i made 150bhp its worth doing

Sweet cheers mate. It'll be in the pipeline if i cant find a decent garret in my price range. Im a technical drawing person though so it'll be well planned :eek:
That clio was easily the most impressive on the site
