So 1st off id like to say a massive thank you to Sunglasses_Ron for booking a day off of work so he could come with me to Leeds, thanks mate you made the journey a whole lot more enjoyable.
Secondly ive got to say a big thank you to everyone who posted wishing me all the best yesterday, cheers guys.
Flol, it wasn't the cash it was the empty trailer he arrived with.
I couldn't bring myself to sell it mate, to much time and effort ive put into it.
Thank you mate, i love it.
Thanks Rich.
Thanks Mark, id of loved to have been able to recorded it but all you would have heard was the wind noise from the fan.
See you at CSS matey.
Thank you very much mate.
Yes i am, after speaking to Paul the other week when i booked the car in he said 180 bhp so for it to make over 190 was great.
Thanks G, shame i didn't get to spend a bit more time there. Had to rush back to get the hire truck back before 5.30.

More than welcome bruvva!!!
192.1 actually.
Lets see the full graph, you're holding out on us!
When are you getting a 4 bar fuel reg and going back for more then
Flol, Know's it.
I didn't get home till late ish and wasn't in the mood to do the day's write up.
Ive up loaded a few pictures to PB this morning so I'll update the project thread later mate.
I'm skint at the moment, just getting the car to RS Tuning ended up costing a few quid.
I might talk to paul and see if it's worth me doing anymore to the car.
I won't be fitting a aftermarket air filter as I want it to be as it should be under the bonnet.
However a forged hi comp engine build maybe at some point in the future is calling my name.

Has it got a standard air filter in the box, Scott ?! You can put a foam filter in there and no one would know..
As for high-comp .. how much higher would you want to go ? These are 11.2:1 already, IIRC ?!

In all seriousness Scott, ask Chi to drive my old ph1 and that should make your mind up on what to do next.
That power with the gripper diff is all you would need, IMO. It's such a great setup you've got but adding that into the equation would make it superb.
Myself and Gray MicKPM agreed on the same and I also think Chi has.
Also like TEG has said, change up a itg filter and if your running the standard ph1 box change to a v6 intake with a larger CAF?

Nice figure that, looking forward to the write up !
Turbo
Never mate, if i was to ever go boosted then it would be charged
Sorry i should have said its a standard box with a ITG foam filter.
As above its already got a ITG filter, my air box is new so un marked mate.
I was gutted not to be able to have a go in Chi Meg but just not enough time in the day mate.
Yes id of loved to go to his house and have a go in your old car, the diff will be something ill look into doing over the winter when the cars back off of the road.
Yes you did mate and thank you.
Cheers mate, i got it taxed today and took it out for a very quick blast, it goes well and sounds bloody epic.
So i managed to get away for work a little bit early on Wednesday as i had to get to Romford before 5.30pm to collect the recovery truck that id hired.
It was 2.2 6 speed so it went very well, even quicker empty.
Loaded up the car with the help of the misses and some bits of wood as the front bumper was so low to the ground.
All loaded up and strapped on.
Went to bed at 10pm and had the alarm set for 4am, had to collect Sunglasses_Ron on the way.
4.30am in the petrol station getting some cash out on the way to collect Dave.
The drive up to RS Tuning went very well, we didn't get stuck in any traffic.
We stopped off for a quick bite to eat and a coffee as we was booked in to Pauls at 9.30.
We arrived at RS Tuning at about 9.40am and the lads set about putting the car onto the rolling road, at this point my hands started to sweat as all of my hard work could end up going bang!!
At first the Clio wouldn't idle and was running so rich which was giving Paul a bit of a head ache, but after a few runs and a bit of messing about we started to get some where.
Here is the final print outs.
Big thank you to Andrew @ALD for the head work.
And a big thank you to Paul RSTuning for the mapping.
Engine spec is
ALD ported head with new valve guides.
Supertech valves
ALD ported and matched inlets
Catcams 421's
182 exhaust manifold, heat wrapped in Design engineering titanium exhaust wrap.
K-tec de-cat pipe
K-tec single box stealth
Standard PH1 air box with ITG filter
ARP rod bolts
Ive taxed the car today and managed to take it out for a very quick blast, it goes very very well on the road. The noise from the exhaust is epic and when it comes on cam i just grin from ear to ear.
The Bilsteins are so well balanced, and compliment the car. So glad i went for them in the end.

Totally agree! Not just the engine spec but the whole car spec! This was the car that pushed a thought into reality for me.
Hats off to you Scott.

Bloody love this car!!
Let me know if you ever sell up

Brilliant stuff Scott!
Such phenomenal attention to detail. Kudos, I love it!
SO glad it all worked out for you Scott, must be great having it back
The power/torque starting to drop off around 6400 is the standard inlet being in choke, mine did exactly the same except it dropped off a bit more but that's because of the cams not being quite as lairy as 421s.
I've noticed you didn't get the jump in peak torque around 5000-6000, I think that's down to the filter setup as that's the only difference. I wouldn't bother changing it though, it looks better as it is.
I'm glad your happy with the Bilstein. For the road they don't need damping adjustment at all.
How do you feel about the Ph1 final drive? I always found it too long whereas the short Ph2 final feels better. It's a matter or preference I guess but if you do go for a diff perhaps it's something to consider doing at the same time.
Fingers crossed now the summer holds out so you can get plenty of use out of it.

Cheers mate, bet you can't wait to put a few miles on yours?
Cheers Mark, its been an up hill struggle at times.
Bloody love this car!!
Let me know if you ever sell up
Thanks dude.
F**CKNG AWESOME MATE.
You should be so chuffed with yourself, with this beauty you've developed...I certainly would be!!!
See you in the morning
Cheers fella, great to see you again today.
Ta very much.

Thanks alot Tom for the info mate, the Bilsteins are epic.
Yes im going to keep the standard air box as it looks right under the bonnet (plus i couldn't bring myself to fit anything else) I find the final drive a bit to short as it seems to rev alot on the motorways.
Maybe im just getting old, its not just a fast road screamer and i dont think my wife and kids will like it on a day off to the sea side revving its nuts off, or isnt it that bad?
Im out on a meet tomo morning for breakfast with a few of the chaps on here so ill get the chance to have a nice drive out in the car along a few lanes.
Should be fun.
Today i went over to Kent to help my mate GW200 out with his race car engine, after him smashing the old engine to bits he wanted me to do the cam belt on his new engine.
It was a great morning mate.
Once i got back home i wanted to remove the plastic side strips and give them a bloody good clean and then give them a coat of Gtechniq C4 and fit my new "2.0 16V" side badges.
Old strips removed.
Treated and new badges fitted.

You're absolutely right. Gagging to get it home and to get out and drive it!
