The 519 172

[jordan101]

great project look forward to seeing the rest of the build

[domsclio182]

Looks good

[Sir_Dave]

How is that a sleeper?

lol, god knows, its a clio with 200 odd bhp - which in the grand scheme of things, isnt overly quick.

Will be interesting to see how the project turns out though

[Dan@519Automotive]

nice, the mk1 looked cool too with the ozs

what was wrong with it?

The mk1 was actually OK, but lots of small things which added up to a tatty car, based on a 1.8 8v that was already a cat C. Needed new bumper, bonnet, arches, a full respray and being narrow track with crappy castor angles, the handling wasn't ever quite up to scratch. Also ran 238mm brakes, which keeps you on your toes with 185bhp

the wheels will make their way onto the 172 in the not too distant future.

[Dan@519Automotive]

does look a tidy monaco that. Nice work Dan. Is this staying standardish?

it'll be a daily driver, so full interior and generally "nice", but there's more to come in several areas

Looks good what cams are you running?

421s, bought them aaaaaages ago when I was looking at phase 1's

It lives!!!!

It's no longer a dusty bus hidden away haha. This has reminded me I need to ring you about doing my cambelt at the at the end of the month. How do you fancy doing two R27's in the same day?

call me

Wow, looks niiiiice dan! Proper sleeper! Anymore plans? Need to come and see you about the emissions light and electrical fault! I'll give you a ring when I get my work rota!

call me

I like it, interested to see what it makes.... Get some 15's on there and some lowz.

already in the pipeline. the F1's are going on with a set of new tyres, and of course it's going to receive a lovely set of SPAX trackday coilovers

The mk1 also fkn shifted

after seeing the figures yours put out, I can't believe the distance I pulled on you

[Rob]

Awesome, when it's done can I have a go? I want to see if I can love a ph2 when it's on coils and 15's, as standard we just don't get on.

[Dan@519Automotive]

haha, maybe

[Adamm.]

Looking good mate. Probably be in contact with you soon for some work

[Clio Neil]

Looking good! As said before, I'm sure I'll be asking for the same treatment for my Clio! My brother can't wait to pick his Megane up. Top bloke, thumbs up!

[dmallett]

Glad to see it running

[Dan@519Automotive]

Few loose ends and bit of tidying done

Behemoth of a filter to fit over the long trumpets


Had an adaptor made for the original loom to the TPS. No cutting wires here


GEN90 ECU plugged straight in, and mounted to the original bracketry


Engine bay done! complete with Nimbus heatshielding

[.Stevo.C.]

Really immpressed with the neatness of the install mate looks great!

[Dan@519Automotive]

Thanks

Also fitted some nice new Pagid OE replacement disks and pads, to rid my life of greenstuff, and spent a while adjusting the SPAX coilovers.
Also ordered a set of tyres for the OZ F1's so they'll be going on soon.

[mitch1503]

look spot on now mate with the heatshield and everything since i last seen it on 1st start up, still carn't beleive it fired up on 1st attempt

[Dean0o0o.]

looking good Danny, does it run smoother now . Looked good when I was up there a while ago.

[z8jay]

[Dan@519Automotive]

looking good Danny, does it run smoother now . Looked good when I was up there a while ago.

it's silky smooth, drives like standard when you want it to, and takes off like a beast when you need it to

Need final map tweaks then I'll put some graphs up. It's quick

[Jimbo_M]

Great work mate, it should be alot of fun to drive. Whats the next plans for it?

[Rhys Beal]

Lovely job there Dan

What tyres have you chosen for the F1's? Got a track day in mind yet?

[Dan@519Automotive]

Trying some Hankooks, although I've got enough meat on some Paradas for track day at Bedford on 26th, so they'll go on after that
