Project RS clio!

[kevin_172]

Car started out as a Bog standard Renault Sport Clio 172

Looks kinda boring as standard tbh and sounded too quiet for my taste... Soooo off i went to K-Tec racing in bournmouth to get a little bit of work done to the car
K-Tec Stealth exhaust System // Polly bushes on anti roll bars and suspension // Carbon Fiber Splitter // Coilovers by Gaz with fully adjustable damperners, camber and hight. That left the car looking a little like this

So after all that i wanted a little more from the car.. Back off to good old K-Tec for a new set of drilled disc's // ECU Remap // Grp N Lower, Upper and gearbox mounts. cant really show any piccys of the work done but she pulled alot nicer, brakes felt better and the vibrations from the new mounts made me feel alot better about taking the poor girl round the track :volksdevil:

So Christmas came and went and I wanted to do something "diffrent" to the car sooooo off to K-Tec again for a little spruce up

Jenvey ITB's, CatCam's 428's and an Omex 600 ECU
Next plans for the car will be High Comp Pistons and Forged rods and maybe a diffrent set of Cat Cams (engine will rev to 9k so may aswell get my moneys worth) Hope you enjoyed the read and comments are welcome :thumb:

Nice ITB converstion with cat cam 428's Carbon oil catch tank and aero bonnet pins!
Also was looking on the bay and found a set of mullered alloys that i thought i would get refurbed!!

 

[Fred@BTM]

who told you the engine will rev to 9000rpm??

nice motor

 

[kevin_172]

on the forged internals the rev limiter will be raised to 9k (pistons and rods im looking at can go to 9.5k)

 

[Fred@BTM]

behave, not on stock top end you wont!

 

[kevin_172]

head is going to be matched also. all work will be done at the same time

 

[Fred@BTM]

if you can afford the parts for the top end then go for it! good luck!

 

[Guppy]

All that coin spent on the car and no Silvervisions?! lol

 

[Speedlover]

Turini's on that will look epic!

 

[Alexander]

Nice lil motor.

Agreed, the Turini's will looks the b****cks!

 

[Turkish]

if you can afford the parts for the top end then go for it! good luck!

I'm assuming solid lifters, different cams, pulleys etc will be in order?

 

[Tobs]

very nice love the TBs

btw did K tec leave the cable ties all messy?

 

[edgeydt50]

[kevin_172]

i will lose the VVT and it will be solid lifters, as for cams i really not 100% sure on what im going to go for yet!!

 

[Daniel]

Christ! You could have bought an M3 with all that dollar!!

A good one too!

Fair play mate, good to see someone doing it properly!

 

[kevin_172]

hate BMW's and i would prefer a rare engine car to a car every other person is running about in

 

[Adey.]

where you getting your solid lifters from bud?

 

[kevin_172]

am yet to source any... i will keep trying tho andy!

 

[Adey.]

you calling me andy? im adey would be the second person this week to do that on here lol

 

[YorkshireDaz]

Needs a good PC'ing mate but otherwise stunning

 

[bomber]

you calling me andy? im adey would be the second person this week to do that on here lol

pmsl, saw the other one too, might need a name change

cars looking tip top, like it alot

 

[kevin_172]

I need to find some one to do the pc for me...

 

[Fred@BTM]

solid lifters? as i said, good luck if you can afford the parts, £3k for the top end give or take unless the prices have dropped massively (unlikely!)

 

[kevin_172]

affording them isnt the problem. its more the reliability of the car...

[Reyes]

Very nice mate!

 

[kevin_172]

i bought a 182 gearbox off the forums and it is currently at k-tec getting a quaife LSD fitted roll on track sessions!

 

[Arr0nUK]

How mad is it to drive?

Great car mate.

 

[kevin.s]

god i`d love to have the money to throw at my car like that. looks a good`n though mate

 

[subarufreak]

any pics with the new wheels on?

 

[kevin_172]

so its been AGES since i posted in here.... some people know the engine in the car wasnt right and it was burning an awful lot of oil! so i set about the task of finding a decent head and bottom end to begin building a new ish engine! at the moment the car is in at K-Tec getting the new engine rebuilt bottom end is standard but the head is Ported, Polished, Gas Flowed and has 1mm larger valves. just hoping that this will get the car working again so i can actually enjoy the damn thing at last!
