I concur
Even with all the lag?
I live for the endless lag 'n' wheeze of ITB'eeze! :rasp: Besides, I prefer a challenging drive rather than big, lazy power!Especially with all the lag
Will do mate...
Thanks for taking time to read through the thread mate. You must have been really bored?!Read from start to finish, great progress mate. Just hope I have more look with my trophy than you have
4 months and nothing wrong yet *touches wood*
With a bit of luck I should have some news/updates to post very soon... Generally, if you look after your Trophy and get it looked at by the right people, then you should be fine. I'm glad all is well with yours and I hope you are enjoying it. Is it your first RenaultSport Clio?It's an exclusive/original, Chip-mk1. I knocked it up in response to the 'turbo lag' comments made by yourself and George182. I was feeling hurt. It just happened that I was watching Enter The Dragon at the time of the post so... :clown:Very good. Not seen that one before.

As I see it...

Ah, a Vauxhall man... As alluded to above, Chip knows a thing or two about those! The last Vauxhall I remember was my parents A-reg Cavalier. The engine is still running today I believe (after some 240,000 miles) although the car had long rotted away; hence the engine was transplanted into a different shell.
Y'know how sometimes you can really go off people...
LOL! Thankfully I've got a thick skin (and, apparently, a thick head as some people say I should have gotten rid of the T long ago). The thing is that, when it's working, it drives so well. I think. I can't really remember... 
It's a shame how life in general (or typically work) often gets in the way of having some fun. I really do hope you can soon find some time to get on the case with your turbo. That was epic, even around Llandow where you couldn't really take advantage of the power.
Hmmm, no - I don't think so. I probably appreciate it more as I get older. Especially having spent a couple of hundred quid on recent upgrades. I WILL appreciate it and I WILL enjoy it.
*sigh* Thanks for reminding me. I was having a good day up until this point. But, alas, you are correct.
On it and, probably, in it! I hope the Recaros are ok. At least the power-to-weight ratio can only improve as it gets cleaner...
Fred's on the case mate. All is in hand.
Don't let him bulls**t you Tony. The left image is Chi during 'off-season' and the right picture is Chi during 'on-season'. He's a beast. You just ask his good lady wife!
And Fred's asking for his Vee back so it can't be far off. It depends on how badly Fred is injured though after his latest accident... 
It's so close I can smell it mate...

He seems to attract accidents these days. He's in the wrong line of work!Latest accident? Doesn't sound good.
I hope it's not too serious. He seems in good spirits though.There'll be plenty of pics coming along mate. Cheers!
LOL! Yeah, health and safety would have a field day!
Yeah, yeah. Whatever mate!Lol another accident / delay ! What's happened now ? You should be smelling something by now but I don't think its your trophy lol
true courtesy car isn't bad but the length of time for this build has been far to long in my eyes unless of course sharky has been building the funds up as the time has gone on to allow for more/better upgraded parts along the wayI could happily wait 10 years for an engine if the courtesy car was an awesome clio v6

I wonder how much longer I can drag this out...Nah, I had the funds ready from day one (otherwise I wouldn't have gone ahead with it) but there's just been one or two setbacks, and a few changes, along the way.
LOL! Yep, it's not moved far over the last 14 months!
The engine should feel like new when I get it back... oh, hold on a minute... 
And he'll just gently remind me that, "you break it, you buy it!" LOL! But I like your thinking...
No idea to be honest mate. I don't have a figure / target in mind. Being NA it won't be massive numbers but it shouldn't be too shy.
I'll be happy if it breaks a genuine 200bhp A bit of both mate (in that some parts have a bit of custom tinkering and some are off-the-shelf, but of 'decent' spec - such as the Arrow conrods). Some of the better-specced, next-day, off-the-shelf parts are quite hard to source at times. Chip sums it up well with...
^ This.
