Project Nurburgring (Clio Williams Resto)

[TheCake]

tbh, with only a week to finish building it, any lights will be better than no lights!

 

[Infinicar]

Lights were dull in the pic because we had some earthing issues.

Paul

 

[fizzy_drink]

Cant wait to see it on Sat.

Keep the momentum going!

David Taylor here you bought my smashed up orignal Clio Williams of me about 6 months ago (Number 378)

Having not enough money to get another Williams at the min i have bought a Clio 16v for me and the misses to use . Lately just put a Full stailess steel scorpian exchaust on it just like the one i had on the Clio this time i bought a Decat aswell and it is running alot quicker than the williams ever did even tho being 1.8 Ltr Used to race my best mate in his 172 Clio (Now runnig 180ish) and on the straights he used to pull away all the time but over the weekend we went up to some dual tracks near to were we live and he couldnt get away and considering it is only 137 Bhp not 150 bhp think you will agree a hell of a surprise. Highly reccomend the new version of the Scorpian for you project car looks fantastic fits well and sounds superb espically with Decat would put Williams enigine stright up to about 155-163bhp with alot more respone when you put the pedal down shame my clio hasnt got the traction the wills did but saving up for another minter.

Good Luck with project will look forward to seeing final pictures!!!

[Infinicar]

Bad news Im afraid.

One of the Kent Cams vernier pullies broke this morning, bending 8 inlet valves........the engine had run less than an hour......

Paul

 

[FlamingMonkey]

Ooops bad news mate.

 

[Matt@Stealthsport]

sh*tluck mate - let me know if theres anything I can do.....

 

[northy]

sorry to hear that Paul....

Still better to play up now rather than ontrack....are kent replacing the parts foc for u ?

 

[TheJesus]

sh*t mate, absoluted gutted for you. hope you get it fixed soon.

Jon

 

[BUTRE]

Sad to hear that.
Youre not the first one to have problems with vernier pulleys. Why they dont make it more realiable? They want to make it light but they go fukcing everything!
btw, AWT has already looked into this and is providing a very good vernier pulleys.


RN2004 cams by kent are a lumpy ones mate. 286º and 278º of duration and 105º of peak angle on std inlet manifold is asking for rough idle, not so good low-end power BUT up in the revs alot is going to happen, and thats all you need for track!

 

[Infinicar]

Yeah we actually managed to get it idling/running perfectly.....Idling was lumpy, but perfectly usable at 900 rpm. Revs rose and fell nicely....then this f***** pulley broke and that was that.........

Im going to look at a replacement car tonight, then I will decide what to do with this one.....looks smart though with its paint job/new wheels/lowered now

Bloody annoying, but far worse things have happened....

Paul

 

[Martin]

Harsh that fella...I know how you feel! Hope you get it sorted...

 

[clio crazy]

are you going to continue with the projct when you return?

 

[Speiro]

Sorry to hear that Paul, hope you get it sorted.

 

[Mondial172]

Have you not got a spare Lotus Cartlon to take?

 

[steve a]

Bloody hell gutting on the pulley! not the first I ve heard go. Speak to Ben R hes developed some new pulleys which are much stronger.

 

[BenR]

Yes, they do cause some problems dont they.

 

[Paul C]

sh*te pulleys!! andy and ben have come across a couple that have gone! kent and piper i think.

bit gutting after all that work though!

you have got to finish it when you get back! it will be totally mint then!

 

[Fred@BTM]

FFS Sue the f**kers

This is the new one. As you can see its in nice original condition, absolutely nothing wrong with it (apart from needing 4 new tyres) one of the most originals ones Ive come across.

[jon_r]

lol, one breaks so go and buy another! Haha!

Good to see all isnt lost Paul!

 

[TheCake]

Heres one I made earlier. Good man.

 

[Matt@Stealthsport]

Excellent Willy races around the Ring it is then.....

Erm that sounds well dodgy!

 

[Manney]

VCV = Cornish reg on that willy

 

[Speiro]

That looks fantastic Paul, Im going to pop over tomorrow if youre there.

 

[Infinicar]

Tony, more than welcome.

Manney youre correct its been down that way all its life....was supplied by Kings of Taunton. I bought it from Backwell, North Somerset.

Paul

 

[Manney]

If it was supplied in Taunton the reg should end in YA, YB, YC or YD.

CV would mean it originated from Truro in Cornwall.

Not saying your wrong just thought it was a bit strange thats all.

 

[Infinicar]

Supplying dealers often miles from where cars are first registered!

Paul

 

[Infinicar]

My mistake - Supplying dealer was in Cornwall (P***** (cant remember) but first services were at Kings.

The replacement car made it and back without hitch

Paul

 

[Infinicar]

By the way, Project Nurburgring is for sale, either as it is or in parts.

Ive decided to keep the replacement car instead.

Paul

 

[Matt@Stealthsport]

PM sent

 

[Matt@Stealthsport]

[Fred@BTM]

i thought it was sold on e-bay ages ago????

 

[northy]
