missed the early goings of this project, did you specificly decide to use the ph1 172 model or just by chance you already owned one,
if the former why did you choose this over say a 172 cup?

had a psh1 before, i just like the look of them, when i was starting off i only wanted light engine mods, so really wanted the cable throttle.
would never have a full fat psh2. only a cup......but im a big fan of psh1

Not meaning to throw a spanner in the works but if your planning to take this car when it`s finished to the Ring, have you seen all the latest posts on www.nurburgring.org concerning all the TUV changes that everyones going on about, if not best have a look. The seats are top notch but not sure if they will allow them fitted if your planning a trip out there. Any TUV certificates you can get will help loads....
From that website link.
"Foreign cars
Foreign cars will not have to produce TUV papers. However, the inspectors will have the right to satisfy themselves that the car is safe. You may thus need to be in a position to demonstrate that modifications use quality approved parts.
Your best bet is to carry the paperwork that came with things like rollcages, aftermarket suspension, brakes, etc, to show that they have some kind of approval: TUV, FIA, EC markings, etc. The ideal paperwork to satisfy German authorities is TUV, ABE (Allgemeine Betriebs Erlaubnis) or Teile Gutachten, but the more paperwork you can produce, the better.
If you have a heavily-modified car and want to be completely safe, you can arrange to have a Vollabnahme - this is equivalent to the UK's SVA (Single Vehicle Approval). It is a very tough TUV inspection (it takes about four hours), but the advantage is they can do it on the chassis number, so you can get a Vollabnahme for a foreign car. (This is the first step in German-registering a foreign car.) Only a limited number of TUV inspectors are licenced to carry out Vollabnahme tests."
You will be OK unless they lift the bonnet.
i wonder how they will police this. whether it will be random spot checks in the car park or what.
As you could park elsewhere, got get your ticket, then drive straight in and on, bypassing everything.
will be interesting to see how it all develops, as it could put alot of people under pressure!

I want to see this at the ring, well want to see it full stop!

Just wanted to point out that the police (and the TÜV-Inspectors) in Germany are generally very picky. And that getting a full independent TÜV test is very, very expensive if you don't at least have an ABE ("general operating license") for all of your parts. However, if the whole project is carried out perfectly, you might be allowed on the ring even without it. Personnally, I wouldn't put my money on it, though.
Great project, btw.
And in case you haven't seen it, here's an obviously official quote from northloop.co.uk:

how do they determine what classes as modified though? I'd imagine most or certainly a lot of the cars that go there are running aftermarket exhausts and filters, so how have other Clio'ers that have been and go regularly get around this? Or is it a case of if Ben's heard going in there with a ITB bark and whining charger that they would base scrutineering on?
forget it! more than you've spent

I would def get your seats/seat runners/rollcage looked at. I have been looking through the Ringers forum and they look like the hot items. That said alot of people seem to be saying it will be like the db restrictions i.e dont stand out/take the piss and you should be ok.....

Well, 25k seems a little too much, and I am by no means an expert, but to get everything fully TÜV registered, I would guess you'd have to spend probably something in the mid 4 digits. The main problem being the supercharged engine. You'd need an emissions report for it, which would cost you probably around €1.500-2.500 alone, you'd need a noise report, the speedo calibrated, maybe a power measurement (your regular rolling road would not be enough, I suppose) and a few other things.
Now, as I said, I am absolutely no expert and all my information is from the internet and nothing of it is official, so it should be taken with a heap of salt.
If you're really interested, I could ask in a german forum what you'd really be looking at -- and if it's at all possible.

ben are u sure the seats/subframes will meet FIA standards? they use FIA side mounts yes, but are you not ment to use the cobra subframes aswell, I am planning on doing the same as you next year and just mounting seats direct to the car, y do the germans have to make things so difficult!
