woo aerocatches
and you've forgot to take the 2 bits out that hold the interior plastic's in at the back on either side of the boot entranceas i've just chopped them out of mine lol
Yeah I know! Noticed them last week, doh !
lots
did u mention what kind of brakes are going on it? lookin good
Forgot to take my camera today, so can only put up camera pics im afraid.
Comprake calipers and rotors fitted to the front. Looking very nice, and the beginnings of piping them up with residual pressure valves.
The brake pipes to the rear have been taken inside the car, and go through a brake bias valve and a master cylinder for the hydraulic handbrake as you can see in the photo. You can also see the gear lever for the sequential box.
Where the brake pipe goes back through to outside the car at the back.
Also the frame for the dashboard has had the end cut off and the remainder bolted back on. Need to just brace the O/S and it might all be ok hopefully.
Got the dash loom out the doner car, and have begun to strip out everything we dont want. This is the loom complete as it came out.
Finally dug out a selection of shims for the back stub axles.

'91 Clio RT =D
any updates?
Mk1 Maxim Sport
Looks boss this mate, been following it over the weeks and looks like ur makin crackin progress. When u planning on having it up and running and on the road (or track)??
So the vents on the rotors should go against the direction of travel?
Brakes pipes have all been finished now.
Piping at the front.
And at the back.
Wheel studs fitted to the front hubs, taken off the old car.
And wheel spacers fitted front and back, again taken off the old car.
Engine has had a bit of a clean; want to do a bit more around the rocker cover and various bits elsewhere on it.
Engine, gearbox and alloy radiator have been test fitted using a combination, of Clio Mk1, Mk2 and Megane engine mounts. Are going to have some new stronger mounts made up to match the position the standard ones give. All looks great in the engine bay, and alot more room than in the Mk1.
Exhaust manifold test fitted for position. Clears the cross member, but need to work something out for the rest of the system.

will the roof scoop be functional? what will it be running to?
Clio 220 lpg
Looks like it's coming together well:clap: , what power does the motor produce starting to get worried bout the next time we compete, If I get mine going again

It was originally 240bhp, but dont know what it does now as it's got a completely different bottom end.
I wouldn't be too worried if I were you
What have you done to yours, engine trouble?
Great project, I built a gravel rally spec 172 last year and have been running it in a series in Queensland Australia. I've had 4 events so far and have been trying to iron out a few problems that seems to come standard with all Clio's. I have had 2 DNF's from broken engine mounts, I bought some Group N mounts before the first rally this season and had no issues at all, they felt really good. I've also had issues with brake bias. Even though I have a biaser plumbed into the rear lines I still can't dial out enough brake on the rear. Other than that the car feels really strong, and I'm hoping for a reliable season this year.
Here's a couple of pics to keep the enthusiasm up.

Looks mint, what engine is that? Never seen a gearbox with "Renault Sport" cast into the casing before?

Looks good I bet there,s some fantastic rally's out there with you.

think it is a built f7r and sequential box
The last few weeks we have mostly been sorting out the wiring and engine mounts, so couldnt really take any worthwhile pics of progress
All the unused wires have been taken out the dash loom, and have just retained the wiring for the lights under the bonnet.
Fitted a battery box in the back, and Anderson plug to easily put an external source on when needed. The live cable goes down the sill in the OEM plastic fixings, through a master switch on the dash and through the bulkhead into the engine bay.
I have used the original fuses and relays here to wire up a high intensity horn, radiator fan, fuel pump, spot lights and power steering pump; all switched from the inside.
Master switch and toggles for fuel pump, power steering pump, fan and spots.
Also retro wired a normal heater back in, using the original controls for the car. Have a feed going to an auxiliary fuse box in the dash, plus in the dash is where the Pectel ECU is mounted and is where the flat shift box will go.
Engine mounts were all custom made; have a heavy duty rear mount, top mount, gearbox mount and two front mounts. Slightly overkill maybe, but it's definitely not going anywhere.
N/S front mount
O/S front mount
Gearbox mount
Have also started putting in the fuel pipes, routing them through the car.
From the tank into the inside.
Through the bulkhead into the scuttle.
Into the engine compartment and the the fuel pressure regulator.
Next up is finishing the fuel pipes and finishing off the dash.

Been working on various ideas about how to mount and display the various guages on the dash.
Finally ended up with this.
Past the point of no return
Drilled out the existing SMD's for the indictators I needed to use; indicators, headlights, main beam, charge light and oil pressure light. Then wired up the main earth strip on the PCB back to the earth wire on where the plug is soldered on. Then wired new LEDs in from the original feeds.
Completed, with Stack rev counter, oil pressure guage, water temp guage, shift light, and the light that I need.

Clio mk1 rally :P
may i ask what u gonna use for the speedo?
If I have time to look at a speedo i'm not trying hard enough
As theres no speedo drive in the gearbox, and no ABS anymore there isn't a way to use the normal speedo even if we needed one. That said, we can have a digital display from a trip meter to show the speed.
If anyone was wondering, the memory of the rev counter shows the highest recorded value as 9000 rpm.

Dash display connected up and self tappered in, all connected up and working. Also wired up the Pectel T2 ECU, so all ready to go wiring wise.
Got some longer Jenvey throttle body trumpets off ebay as it makes fitting an air filter much easier. Had to modify them a little but they fitted on a treat in the end.
Alloy radiator, fan and oil cooler have all been mounted and connected up.
Engine loom connected up, with coil pack mounted as shown.
Best of all, even had it running for a few seconds and it started up just about first time
