Re: someph-ing different...........
the pm... as i see no reason to hide it
first things first...i admit i did say something that was out of place that was directed at you (matt) in a thread a while back, it was not my place to do so but i did mainly because you personally attacked nother member for having an opinion, i spose i felt it my business because you had previously poked at me.
with regards to my car building, which let me just point out i don't feel i should have to justify, but will for your (matt) and a few others sakes...
it is known quite well that i work for a motoring publication, and because of this i have access to parts through whatever form you would like to beleive. This is something we would all take advantage of if we had the oppourtunity (lets be honest), people who are el;ectricians can do there own hose, so can car painters, etc etc, its the perks of the job, i have studied through school, college and uni to get a design job, i went for masses of interviews then got a job at future, worked a year then moved over to fastcar...i worked hard for this position and am not going to appologise to some hater because i get perks...so with regards to that f*ck you.
now onto the parts
as with everyones car it is there choice with regards to what parts they fit, as seen in this thread this car is track inspired and is having a fair few track parts fitted, ie a cage, engine mounts etc etc.
I think what your problem (and a few others) here is, is that it hasn't seen much track action, let me explain why.
Unlike the majority of cs which seem to be second generation rich kids i can currently only afford 1 car, so this car has to do everything, get me to work, day in day out, load my bike when i want to ride, take my hockey gear when i go to training. because of this i have to keep some luxuries. I admit i could still do trackdays with it but this year has not leant itself to it, and again £££ was a bit of an issue, as fundss would be needed for tyres, fuel, brakes etc etc, and i didn't fancy stoving my car, (how would i get into work the morning after???)
just so the haters know and can approve, the long term plan is to purchase a second car early in the new year, a german diesel estate. i would use this to get in and out of work, carry my hockey kit and my bike, this would leave the clio free to fully track prep, the great thing aboiut this would be i would already have the majority of the parts so would have to fork out little money, maybe even gain some back from parts sales..ie interior etc....the £££ from this could even go to track time...
i hope you approve of this matthew, (and any others) if not, who gives a f*ck, i enjoy my car, which is what modifying should be about.

Matt Wills said:I'm not a hater in any way shape or form I just don't feel the need to constantly brag on a car forum about my car which is after all just a show car and will never really need all of the parts that you fit to it.
However perhaps I should just keep my opinions to myself and maybe you shouldn't make any comments about anything I say or do?
As I seem to remember you made a comment about me a while ago which I felt was unjust and none of your damn business.
But hey if it makes you happy then carry on

Re: someph-ing different...........
Fair comments but I am not a rich kid and do trackdays in my car as you well know and I also use my car everyday to carry mountain bikes and painting stuff/tools for my property business.
A lot of people on here do trackdays in a variety of cars from standard to highly modified and all I was trying to say was making a track car is a good but not using it is a shame.
The trend on this forum at the moment is to build track replicas and then sell them as they are too harsh for everyday use.
Sorry if I tarred you with the same brush and I am glad that your not gonna do this and hope to see you out on track next year.

Re: someph-ing different...........
an update then, (rather than trash talk)
no images, nothing new at mo
the flocked top dash and steering wheel surround are now out again, was a real ballache trying to get it out with the cage still in, a little but of flex and gentle persuasion and it came out, it is having some work done then will go back in when i get the car back, will make it easier for the other work to go ahead also
update shortly: wheels...
and something special

Re: someph-ing different...........
as promised, wheel update below
started off as a discussion at work, then we got serious with the idea, for the people that don't know i am a editorial designer for print, we mainly work in the colour process of CMYK..hence the idea.
The wheels started off like this...
but they are my track / winter wheels and were currently off the car so i thought, why not...(f*ck the haters...not interested.)
(if colour looks slightly off thats because the CMYK has been replicated first on an RGB camera and then on your un-calibrated RGB screen....)
doubt they will be on the car for a while, tyres need to be sorted and the car is disappearing....
also fitted the correct dog bone bushes, as a few pages back it was evident i got the wrong ones....these are the same as the williams bushes..happy days
answer to the above, maybe engine special

Re: someph-ing different...........
no real updates as have no car... i can say that the cup set-up will be complete when the rest of the work is being done, i supplied a non-recirc, non-aircon blower so that will be the last aircon bits out the car...happy days
on another note, i have recently been visiting reclamation yards/stores for furniture for mine and the mrs' cottage, we have got something now but also saw some cool things, kinda car related
lol....
a proper old school anti-freeze jug, loved it and it was only £5 so bought it, seen some cool RAC light up sign too...
