The Lunar Grey Mk1 Hybrid Project

[Chip-mk1]

Reckon 2014 it could finally see a trackday?

 

[Zmaster2k]

Yes more than likely lol, bit late for this year now eh!..............engine rebuild over the winter/?........(im kidding!)



So as you can all see, the interior loom is complete! Whoop!



Is was then refitted to the car.



My RMD25 battery had its wiring made up



engine Loom refitted to car



Connector for headlight loom and front end earth



Engine loom bulkhead connector and battery through panel fitted




My Slap-dash was then refitted







and battery offered up to its new location, (i have an alloy cage for it here, i suppose i should send that to the beaniesport crew lol)

Just waiting on a few fuses/relays i believe and basemap (and dash2 output enabled) my friend is putting together for me.

 

[Zmaster2k]

Also just bought some carbon doorcards from Coops (the fronts have speaker holes but i'll either have them remade or get a sheet of carbon to bond on to the holes off ebay)

Should be ordering some nice 3" harnesses when i get a second too

 

[Coops Mk1]

win! love it chap and really cant wait to see it out and about, so cant imagine what your feeling like now!

reckon in the event of rolling it that cage will be okay.......I reckon there is more room for metal.......................lolz!

 

[Chip-mk1]

Im not sure that battery is upto the job?

I had one for my mk1 but replaced it with a SMD50 almost instantly as if you ever had any slight issue with the car and it didnt start first turn of the key, the battery when flat in just a few seconds of cranking I found.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Ps rally designs do a nice cage to fit it if you are still trying to work out how to mount it.

 

[Djw John]

How come you still have the floor tar? Take everything out and start again once you've removed it please

 

[Zmaster2k]

was a miscommunication with the body shop lol


electrics now flowing!

 

[Daz_RT_04]

Car has come a long long way fella since I last saw it many moons ago! Looks brilliant!

Hope to see it about soon!

 

[Zmaster2k]

your not wrong mate!

Spec -Creep has been aweful! lol

was meant to just be a respray! Then i got a good rollcage for cash i couldnt refuse... then it needed the power to back it up etc etc

Still going to need more power tbh!
But current spec im more or less happy with!

 

[Zmaster2k]

^he says having not driven (or started) it yet!

 

[Hardy]

Any more updates of this?

 

[Coops Mk1]

it runs is all I know and believe its in for mapping

 

[r0ss172]

it runs is all I know and believe its in for mapping

I wish you'd get GTT back on the road Coops

Re: The Definitive Wukbrid Project

So after reading Ghostvalver/DannyAce/Snowman/Austins projects its given me a boost of inspiration and ive decided its high time my 16 year old clio had a new lease of life the engine that the cliolord and kj 16v have tuned for me is spot on, however the shell has seen better days. So its time i set about getting her resprayed and a few other parts added into the mix and putting my own stamp on the car, without copying andybody else too much.

So currant wishlist sits like this:-
2 x Cobra Evolutions (maybe just one to begin with)
Set of Perspex windows after seeing them on cliodans i want some.
get some welding done.
Maybe a cage....although im not sure yet... but ghostvalvers one makes me seriously wet!
respray ina different colour...as im fed up people asking me if its a williams... to which i have a to say basically it is and it isnt... lol given up explaining.


Stage one..... find a garage i can strip the car in

made a phonecall at lunch time by dinner time i had one

sorted!

Moved the car into her and removed the bonnet!

then removed the wings bumper, wipers, head lights,skuttle pannel

then out came the wiper linkage and internal fan makeup and the washer bottle and the old OEM alarm (that i didnt know i had)

obviously i would be a fool not to expect some rust... soo here are the bad bits

and the bit that looks like its going to need the windscreen removing to repair...fail....

what i dont get though is one side of the car is rusty... the other side (passenger side) has light surface rust....

and now she is looking like this... will keep you all informed day by day


Ok off she goes to the bodyshop! Proceeded to discuss bonnet fit ment with aero catches then remembered I forgot to take it lol

Big thanks to bass for today! For dropping off boot and then unexpectedly bringing me some willwoods aswell! What a legend! Especially as he drove from Essex to Dorset for 8am!

just a few shots of my very empty garage

Rubber everywhere

Why I needed a new boot!

Just waiting for her new and improoved home!

Rubbers arranged

Glass no longer required

Carlsburg don't make engines....

All organised just waiting for new and improved shell

Ok some images from the bodyshop.....N REG disintegration factor!

As you can see YES that IS the floorpan thats nearly falling out... but better the devil you know.. so all getting fixed propperly....

Fitted

Jack damage repaired

Cill is now hard as nails

Floor patched

Arch in

Front arch repaired

Screen out

A rare morning off ive Been into bodyshop today, to find all the welding is now complete! Joy! No more rust
floor has been sorted,

Sill has been smoothed in yay

Door shut cleaned up

Engine bay in primer yay!!! One v happy mrs lol

thankfully no leaky powersteering will return here!

Ok remember the hole in the skuttle? Quite frankly the only bit I was worried about...before saw the floor?!?
Well it turns out the repair was **** simple!

Two cuts in the dash bend back weld in plate, bend back weld up, grind clean lol

And one photo before I left!

Weird that. Mines the exact same but opposite sides :/

 

[Zmaster2k]

oh HAI!

 

[Zmaster2k]

Collected filter and backplate
Slimline fan

Lots of bits to fit


Trumpets off

Backplate and trumpets refitted

Filter on

Rear Doorcards fitted




Front doorcards on

Injector orings are apparently hard to source…1 phonecall later and ive solved it…with 2 different sizes

Unfortunately one is just too big yhe other just too small…sooo few modifications later and they are a lovely fit.

 

[Zmaster2k]

Custom injection bungs as we are going to now use 172 injectors.

[M4ck1]

Wow really nice job. Just read the entire thread. Lot of nice work and commitment put in to this (and money).

Your Rustoration looks like where I am with my Williams. So love to have bodies on mine.

Only thing I would say it's a pity you didn't do the subframe and pipes in red think it would finish it off. :approve:

 

[Zmaster2k]

Yup.... just want to use it at the moment lol

 

[NaplesMark16v]

That carbon looks ace!
Nice work matt. Nice to hear her purring again

 

[Zmaster2k]

So after problems with the williams manifold i bit the bullet and bought a Mild Steel Supersprint copy

Clio build by Zmaster2k, on Flickr

its a better fit better design of 4-2-1 like the manifold from the original 1.8 16v....only not cast and made of solid iron lol

Clio build by Zmaster2k, on Flickr

then realised i was wasting my time... and decided to put a turbo on my car

Clio build by Zmaster2k, on Flickr

lol


anyway

She now requires her horn wiring up...as it didnt have one fitted... and she is ready for her MOT

Clio build by Zmaster2k, on Flickr




Also drove her with a temp map on it... oh its quick! and f**king LOUD!

 

[Chip-mk1]

Should have said you were after. I've got a spare original stainless super sprint.

Glad to hear you're finally driving it. Should be nicely ready for trackday season next year then.

 

[NaplesMark16v]

I want a supersprint for mine looks good mate.

 

[Zmaster2k]

Not a fan of the stainless they always crack... and they dont "sound" right compared to the mild steel.... and for the price i paid (mates rates) im seriously happy!

Thats the plan... get her on the road for some "testing" and iron out any bugs... Then wrap her up untill the next season

Yeah only taken it to like 5k ish... forgot to enable STS on the omex for the dash so was only a guess!... but f**king hell its different low down! So much torque!

Really starts to pull hard at 4k or so.

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

Zmaster2k I saw this car on the FB page. Stunning mate!

Couldn't of picked a better colour imo.

 

[Zmaster2k]

Thanks Ron!

really not long now...

It needs somthing on the sides to break it up a tad... dunno what though

 

[NaplesMark16v]

Carbon fibre bump strips mate, would look good IMO. That's the thing with mk2/3/4 colours on mk1s, the trims make or break them, well that's IMO anyway. That's what is throwing me on going inferno orange or not

 

[Zmaster2k]

was thinking of going for phase1 bump strips in black and plastidipping front and rear strips?

 

[Hardy]

Love this project!

Loved it when I first joined C16v many moons ago when it was 432 blue.

Keep up the good work. It is certainly motivating me to get on with mine more.

Josh

 

[NaplesMark16v]

I'm going phase 1

will be changing the red though but not sure what to lol. Could do yours same as what mine are, would look nice I think. Then you'd have red bump stop inserts as well as red wheels

 

[NaplesMark16v]

Bump strip I meant lol

oooh i like that!

 

[NaplesMark16v]

oooh i like that!

Do it ;-)

 

[Zmaster2k]

send them to me!

 

[NaplesMark16v]

Lol. Don't know about that mate. Took me ages to get hold of lol.

 

[Zmaster2k]

exactly lol

 

[NaplesMark16v]

I know where there's a set I'll see if he's still got them mate

 

[Zmaster2k]

valver/williams?

pov spec dossnt fit!

 

[NaplesMark16v]

Think they're from a valver but I'll double check. I didn't know pov ones won't fit? I managed to pull one rear quarter phase 1 strip from a 1.2 clio in my local scrappy and it fitted alright, just needed the different clips
