Not updated for a long time!!! Oops
Any way following my first track day I booked another with Javelin on the 17th Aug, again at anglesey but on the Coastal layout - flawless day, here are some pics -
Good fun again!!
I'm still waiting for my RS2 to be delivered but been told to expect it any day now
Current look of the car - running no arch liners and removed fog lamps to help with cooling the brakes
As you can see I have also took people's advice and fitted a skoda splitter and it does look better I must admit
Oil change time, only the best for my girl ;-) and also me and my dad made a pit over the summer. Doing work on the car is now so much easier

I bet they are hard to keep clean! Barely a mm between the wheel weights and the wilwoods though!! Dead tight.

Thanks
I'm quite chuffed with it. Your plans sound exciting, will deffo be keeping an eye on your thread. You going for ktec's kit?
Re: Clio 172 Cup Project!!
First time I have seen this thread, your car looks great and I love what you have done with it and sensibly modified it with the Bilstien's and rs2 etc. I hope you get it fitted okay they do seem fairly easy to fit from what Tom said to me in the past just access is a bit of a pain I think but thats always the case with these cars. Get some pic's up when the rs2 is fitted

Re: Clio 172 Cup Project!!
Thanks :approve:. It looks quite straight forward, Ollie off here has sent me a few photos showing where the essential bits go etc. Had a look lat night and I now know where everything goes, I was stuck with the brake servo pipe, but I think it comes in behind the throttle body at the moment and joins up to an extended pipe that came with the kit and goes into the plug underneath the manifold. I take it that it provides air for the brake servo??

Re: Clio 172 Cup Project!!
Not the Ktec kit, I'm going down the 182/225 hybrid route. Got the long engine yesterday but needs some more bits and pieces before fitting. I'll be doing it over the winter and should be ready for spring next year.
Thanks

Plans are to paint the rocker cover red, throttle body red so they both match the inlets, then polish up the engine mount and engine hoist brackets leaving them silver so it matches the catch tank. Drilled the holes for the tank tonight and fit it in place (gonna get some better bolts tomorrow so it looks better)

Brash wire brushes will clean it up like new, until it oxidises next, need to do mine again and paint it next time xD

Re: Clio 172 Cup Project!!
Not too bad, I used normal 'manual' brushes, stuff comes off pretty easy tbh. Getting at it all in sittu. is the hard part.

I bet some sections are hard to get to! I hope the set I've bought are more than capable of reaching the hard to get areas!!

Had a slight problem today, car was backfiring like it had a anti lag turbo, lol. So I thought the spark plugs / ignition leads must have got a little wet when I used the gunk stuff the other night.
So I cleaned em up, dried them and bobs your uncle it seems fine now.
Also polished the engine a little and turned out pritty good TBH, ready for paint I think

Re: Clio 172 Cup Project!!
Thanks mate, I hope it will be worth the effort, I've got normal red VHT paint as opposed to the wrinkle effect, I do really like the wrinkle effect but I want the paint to match up with the manifold if I can. Cross fingers, did you do yours when the engine was cold? and then start the car up to dry the paint?
