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

Infinicar · Mar 20, 2005

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

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!!!

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 · Mar 22, 2005

Ooops bad news mate.

Matt@Stealthsport · Mar 22, 2005

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

northy · Mar 22, 2005

sorry to hear that Paul....

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

TheJesus · Mar 22, 2005

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

Jon

BUTRE · Mar 22, 2005

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 · Mar 22, 2005

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 · Mar 22, 2005

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

clio crazy · Mar 22, 2005

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

Speiro · Mar 22, 2005

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

Mondial172 · Mar 22, 2005

Have you not got a spare Lotus Cartlon to take?

steve a · Mar 22, 2005

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 · Mar 22, 2005

Yes, they do cause some problems dont they.

Paul C · Mar 23, 2005

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 · Mar 23, 2005

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 · Mar 23, 2005

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

Good to see all isnt lost Paul!

TheCake · Mar 23, 2005

Heres one I made earlier. Good man.

Matt@Stealthsport · Mar 23, 2005

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

Erm that sounds well dodgy!

Manney · Mar 23, 2005

VCV = Cornish reg on that willy

Speiro · Mar 23, 2005

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

Infinicar · Mar 23, 2005

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 · Mar 23, 2005

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 · Mar 23, 2005

Supplying dealers often miles from where cars are first registered!

Paul

Infinicar · Mar 29, 2005

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 · Mar 29, 2005

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

Ive decided to keep the replacement car instead.

Paul
