Rob's Supercharged Trophy

[Welsh.Dan]

Oooooooo!
Sounds epic!
If I was to boost a Clio I'd go charger too. Good choice.

 

[RMDavis]

Cheers Dan!
I thought you'd approve! :wink:

 

[Cub.]

Enjoy!

 

[RMDavis]

Enjoy!

Thanks Oli you've been a great source of information, and help!

If I can get my car anywhere near the calibre of your car I'll be happy!

It's certainly given me a fair ammount of inspiration.

 

[JonC219]

I'm super duper jealous. Fair play!

 

[RMDavis]

Awesome photo taken at Thruxton by my good mate @KrisRS182 cheers bud, well chuffed with this one!

 

[Welsh.Dan]

Looks awesome! Very nice

Oddly looks like a flamer trophy [emoji14]

 

[RMDavis]

Haha cheers Dan!

Yeah I must admit the colour looks a tad flamer. Maybe be something Kris has done during editing.

 

[RMDavis]

Here's a couple of 'essentials' that will be fitted prior to the charger! [emoji6]

ARP conrod bolts and a keyway'd crank pulley.

Il give you a fiver if you can work out what socket the ARPs are without googling!

Haha cheers Dave! I'd assume a normal star socket? But on closer inspection the bolts look like they have more points? In short... No I don't have a clue! :wink:

 

[loggyboy]

lol its funny isnt it. Took me 20 mins to work out it's a normal socket (it has 12 points) most sockets are 12 pointed not 6!
Its also imperial (3/4 IIRC).

So... Just to clarify, they are a normal star socket, lol!?

Not if you're referring to E-torx star socket - its a normal hex socket!

[KrisRS182]

Do you know where to put the lube though Rob

I'm well versed in the application of all lubes. No need to ask!

 

[SEW97]

Just perfection!

 

[RMDavis]

Just perfection!

Very kind of you to say Sam!

UPDATE:

I have now fitted the ARP's and the keyweyed pulley. Sorry for the lack of pictures, as I'm crap like that! (I can assure you though they are fitted!) :wink: I have massive respect for people that take the time to have all these lovely detailed photos along with their project thread, where I just crack on and swear a lot!

I should hopefully be picking up the supercharger kit within the next couple of weeks. With the aim to have everything fitted by the end of January. I'm also intending on actually taking some photos during the build or even some sort of time lapse with a couple of GoPro's we shall see.

I hope you've all had a good Christmas, and have an awesome New years!

Roll on January 2016!

Rob.

 

[KrisRS182]

Very much looking forward to this.

i can vouch for their fitment, as can my oil stained fleece.
Can also vouch for the swearing and tantrums!

I have a very small amount of patience I'm sorry! :wink:

 

[RMDavis]

Its happening! [emoji1]

Fitment will commence next weekend!

Updates to follow!

 

[loggyboy]

Looking forward to this immensely.

 

[RMDavis]

Its fitted!

In short... The car is a different animal, and I couldn't be happier!

More updates to follow including a complete time lapse of the build.

But for now here's a cheeky couple of photo's!

 

[loggyboy]

Looking forward to seeing and hearing this!
