Pics of my 172'd Valver...... (About time! lol)

[Bluebeard]

Here we are ladies and gents.

The product of lots of money/time/late nights/swearing/throwing various toys out of the pram.

1992 Clio 16v Shell.

36,000 mile 172 doner car which donated the following...
Engine
Gearbox
Clutch
Driveshafts
Hubs
Bottom Arms
Brakes
Radiator
Manifold
15" Oz F1's

Williams Subframe and steering rack (Converted to manual)

Still a lot of work to do including:
Buy and fit new WilliamsCoilovers (so the driveshafts aren't bent in half!)
Buy and fit a passenger seat
Fit my Oil Cooler
Buy and fit some Harnesses
Fit my Cage (Possibly. Its a K-tec show cage and i'm undecided at the minute)
Fit my newly powder coated Silver Oz F1s and new T1r tyres (The wheels in the pics are going on my 172)



Anyway, pics....

We did, but it idled at about 4000rpm?! :S

Shdany light on that dude?

 

[f0xy]

I tapped a thread into the end of the metal fitment and screwed an M6 bolt in with sealant to fully seal it off...never had a prob after that! If there is a small leak it will usually do its high idle crap, make sure its fully sealed!

 

[.GAZ.]

Not bad at all Bristol!

 

[Whiteley]

About time indeedy!

Have you got the rev counter working? What's it revving to? Beanie's old ECU Clinic'd ECU isn't it which we never determined what map it had on it!

 

[Dunx90]

love it.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Very nice!

Is this more an everyday car, or solely a track weapon?

 

[nick.]

looks great when you have all the other various bits done will be awesome. The sticker in the 2nd pic is quality.

 

[ClioChloe.]

Awsome mate, love these models, especially ones like yours

 

[Rob]

[Rob]

Run in, its on 36k FFS.

Wasn't talking about running in the engine as such, just making sure everything is sweet before he rags the tits off it! :boring:

 

[yellowbelly]

i thought this thing was much like Santa and the tooth fairy :rasp:

Nice work Dan, i like it alot!!

[Kneel]

[Marky_]

Good work Dan!

You gonna strip it properly or is it for day to day running?

 

[Bluebeard]

Not got the Rev counter working yet. Its on the list of to-do's! Everywhere is covered in ice at the minute so not had a chance to give it beans and see whats what! lol.

Its got crappy knackered GAZ 16v shocks on at the minute. They are bottomed out and as such I have about -10 degrees of camber. This is making the nearside driveshaft clunk in the gearbox and so i've not driven it above 40mph.

nice filter, jords old one i take it lol

No its the Air filter that came with the 16v car when I bought it. Its off a TVR!

Good work Dan!

It will eventually get completely stripped and painted in the original colour inside. Its a track car as tbh the combination of the deepest seat in the world, a very low car and a 13 stone fat bloke means its a bit of work getting in and out! Only been driving it 2 days and its getting on my tits lol.

 

[Peperami]

Looks fantastic mate! I miss my track car today

 

[AK]

Nae bad

 

[jamie rigby]

No its the Air filter that came with the 16v car when I bought it. Its off a TVR!

[Justin]

Sweet!

 

[Brian]

Nice, alot better than I was expecting :approve:

Ah man that sucks, when's the new susp arriving???? Was gonna say I bet that seat is driving you crazy, looks very impractical!

Oh and whats with the green rims on the wheels? Wheel tape?

 

[Bluebeard]

Whats that supposed to mean?! lol

Haven't even ordered suspension yet. Need to sell some cars first. Bank balance has taken a beating this last month.

The wheels were painted gloss black, then the green lip, then laquered.

 

[Mells]

What does your mrs think of it?

Will it be comfy to sleep in when she kicks you oot?

 

[172Ben]

Very nice!!

Really want one now!

 

[Rob]

Get that suspension sorted

Bet you can't wait to drive it properly

 

[Brian]

That I was expecting it to be really s**t, and it's not - so was a pleasant surprise

 

[Christopher]

Proper.

Love it.

 

[Bluebeard]

[Marky_]
