Re: someph-ing different...........

i stopped over today just to pick up my spare wheel for another plan i am working on, i was surprised as they weren't meant to of started, they only had the windscreen bar and the door bars to do...then the powdercoat

can't wait...

What are you driving to Wales? I was hoping to slash your tyres as part of some drunken 'fun'... wouldn't be fair to ruin Naomi's wheels.

Re: someph-ing different...........

If you can get it onto the M5 you'll be fine mate, main road all the way to the hotel. The Pembroke massive would love you... lol.

 

[Nafoff]

Re: someph-ing different...........

i am not risking not being able to get it up the b&b drives mate...lol
as for getting it on the M5, thats questionable...lol

Re: someph-ing different...........

a long overdue update...one that i promised a while back...so here we go

i have already posted about my alternator woes, and it was at this time i got all the work done, alot went on and i have posted some already, the engine mounts and the stud conversion were done when we discovered we couldn't continue with the alternator...

so all the consumables

^^thanks to opie oils

^^^and maynard...top bloke

and to begin...the car was stripped down

all bits in back of car to keep tidy

and then onto the alternator...it was a case of 3rd time lucky and i ended up just ordering a cup alternator from renault...best way imo, should of done it sooner, product code can be found earlier in the thread..

wrong alternator

right alternator

much better fit, and as all this was now in, it meant this didn't have to be

so then onto the cams....

opened up.....

the timing

the outcome - well without being mapped i am majorly impressed, so much more torquey.....Catcam 428's are awesome and highly recommended

the car is much tighter to drive with the cams and engine mounts, and the lack of a/c must free it up...deffo gives it more space in the bay...

engine wise...future plans are to put in a non-recirc blower (already have) and fit the new powerflex dogbone mount thats under my desk.....

then it gets serious....

Re: someph-ing different...........

as the above work was a few weeks ago and i have only just organised myself to post it i also have this update...

the day after trax the car was dropped off at CAGED for beleive it or not a roll cage....

they built the cage and just tacked it together to get the shapes perfect, then got in contact so i could be there for the final part, i went down today i watched / helped sort the final bit..pics show the flow...

the cage tacked and placed in the car

taken back out and being finished

this was then heated for 10mins to 200degs, then powdercoated

this was then let to dry before applying to the car...as it was drying i decided to paint up the mounting points to match the rear satin black of the car

cage was then placed in the car and bolted in...

all going in

CAGED is a great company to go to for this, they have masses of experience and can apply there work to anything and basically give you exactly what you want..well worth it over a standard (non-custom) cage from the horror stories i have heard....

a group buy i am organising is here - http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=444479

Re: someph-ing different...........

Re: someph-ing different...........

Loving the cage. When do your more serious engine tinkles get going?

 

[Nafoff]

Re: someph-ing different...........

i am fitting the flange module and the super-doooper charged turbo booster on tomorrow, should only take 10 mins and is a guaranteed 50BHP more

 

[bomber]

Re: someph-ing different...........

do you have an ebay resistor too, that should help airflow and increase midrange torque from what i've heard

 

[Nafoff]

Re: someph-ing different...........

^^check the thread back mate

was one of the first mods.
