The everlasting ph1 ITB Build **GREEN-BUILD STARTS AT PAGE 100**

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

Boner, can you pm me prices/lead times/options caged gave you??

I may need to pay them a visit...
 
Re: someph-ing different...........

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.
 
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

IMG_1120.jpg



so then onto the cams....

IMG_0320-1.jpg


opened up.....
IMG_1129.jpg


the timing
IMG_1126.jpg


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

IMG_8831.jpg


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

IMG_8835.jpg


IMG_8841.jpg


IMG_8845.jpg


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

IMG_8846.jpg


IMG_8847.jpg


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

IMG_8852.jpg


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...........

forgot to mention i have had a brand new windscreen fitted at this point also as the last had an ugly stone chip

and just literally fitted a set of bosch aero-wipers....its all coming together.
 
Re: someph-ing different...........

thank you people...

glove box door is back on, at the bottom of the door there is too sliding pins, i have pushed back in the drivers side pin, the door will sit in there with the passenger side pin and the opening / closing pins...happy days, i can still use it
 
Re: someph-ing different...........

damn neil, i want that cage and them cams!!

glas to see you got the aero's ok :)
 
Re: someph-ing different...........

glad you all like...

...as for one of my next mods...i am not so sure the reception will be quite as similar...will wait and see
 
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
 
Re: someph-ing different...........

do you have an ebay resistor too, that should help airflow and increase midrange torque from what i've heard
 
Re: someph-ing different...........

had some great news today, i don't care if it seems attention seeking but i cannot let on at the moment, however i am very very excited
 
Re: someph-ing different...........

thank you, i am having an op next week so the car will not be getting driven for a fair old while, but thats fine progress will still be going ahead, lets just say the car isn't staying with me for the time i can't drive it...
 
Re: someph-ing different...........

Its lucky you're a nice bloke because your project updates are s**t.
 
Re: someph-ing different...........

i have some good updates hopefully this week with regards to wheels.

with regards to anything else i need to talk to some other parties before anything is mentioned...hater
 
Re: someph-ing different...........

See. You may as well have just written all that ^^ in German. It means f**k all to us without pictures and updates.
