Supercharged BG +++++

[domsclio182]

Not really going to be a project as the car is now mostly finished. I have owned the Clio for 2 1/2 years and have been modifying the car from pretty much day one. I only really bought the Clio as a little bit of fun until I found something else, but within a week I totally fell in love with car's handling and the way the car drove, the car was totally standard at this point and I thought to myself it may be fun to see what can be done with this great little car.

All my previous cars had a few bits done to them before I got them and never really felt like my car, so I wanted to make the Clio all my own and got the mods under way.

This was the car when I first bought it, only mod was a yozza.

I originally wanted to get the car going a lot quicker so I looked at supercharging, ITBS, cams ect, but decided it would be a better idea to sort out the suspension, wheels ect. I then decided to get a set of 438 cams and was really happy with how the they performed but really wanted a Supercharger. I bought a supercharger kit from ktec and then the fun began, fitted the kit with a friend and the car went off to be mapped, whilst the car was being mapped the cam belt slipped and bent a load of valves and made a right mess of the head. I was devastated, but it seems it was my own fault for not getting a MEG key way pulley fitted. So after buying a brand new head form Renault and a Meg pulley the car was put back together only for the unthinkable to happen, the brand new head dropped a valve within 5 miles of being fitted.

This left me in a nightmare situation, so the supercharger ect was removed form the car and it went to Renault for them to diagnose why the head had failed, after a long battle with Renault and being without the car for 5 months Renault excepted liability and fitted a brand new engine in the car. After running the car in for a good 1500 miles the supercharger was refitted, we decided not to refit the cams as they were probably a bit much on the standard engine.

The supercharger has now been on for about 2 month's, had a issue with a misfire but that was found to be a loose connection and the car now runs great. I have done one track evening and a whole day at snetterton and a lot of hard road miles and the car has preformed without any issues. I am really happy with the car now, I don't intend on taking the car any further, but you never know.

Really love the look of this Dom can't wait to see it at CSS, you've done some very tasty mods to it it looks perfect. I like the filter relocation pipe that you get in ktecs kit.

 

[domsclio182]

Thanks Craig, means a lot coming from you, we will have to park the cars up together at CSS, yellow and black will look really cool next to each other.

 

[Craig.]

It really does look great :approve: Yeah that's sound like a good idea to me mate.

​You can link your project to your > Car: bit on the left now.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

I love this, my favourite 182 on here, everything for a purpose with no tacky add on's. Perfect!

 

[Reko]

Awesome. So awesome. I wish I had the money to do this sort of thing.

Those seats/dash/wheel makes the inside a nice place to be Love it.

 

[Krys_23]

The supercharger kit must me major ££££! Looks a brilliant example i'd love a shot of one charged!

 

[Lawro]

Looks great and has a lovely spec too!

 

[Vicky.]

Really like that! I've always loved the black and anthracite combo.

Your plans for it sound epic :approve:.

Thanks Danny

Thanks Reko, it is quite a nice place to be for a Clio, my last car was a few bit dearer than the Clio so when I sold it all the money was put into the Clio, plus a little more lol

The supercharger kit must me major ££££! Looks a brilliant example i'd love a shot of one charged!

Thanks Krys, kit is quite expensive, but well worth it

Really like that! I've always loved the black and anthracite combo. Your plans for it sound epic :approve:.

Thanks Vicky, what plans lol, do you know something I don't. What's going on with your car, still got the nos?

 

[jesus]

Them brakes look amazing!

 

[Chi]

Im loving this, great effort, real result in the end with the new engine..

 

[Rhys Beal]

Looking sweet Dom, well done

 

[Vicky.]

Thanks Vicky, what plans lol, do you know something I don't. What's going on with your car, still got the nos?

Lol utter brain fail. Merged two threads in my head lol. I meant to say the spec list you've got is epic!

I did have but I sold the car 3 weeks ago (saving for a mortgage ) I fitted the Wilwood's not long before I sold it, they're brilliant aren't they! Alas I roll in an mx-5 now lol, still good fun though!

 

[JezzaMac]

Looks great!! What diameter is the wheel? I'm in the market for a new wheel soon and the Ocera looks good and not too expensive!

 

[dmallett]

Ive always loved this car, even more so now!

The thing certainly shifts also, the best bit is it just goes with out making too much noise/fuss.

Safety devices half cage would finish it off Dom

 

[SharkyUK]

Very nice, Dom - and a great spec, too! I hope I can make it to CSS as I wouldn't mind a look at your wee beast (ooer!)

 

[domsclio182]

Them brakes look amazing!

Thanks jesus, they stop the car pretty well too.

Im loving this, great effort, real result in the end with the new engine..

Thanks mate, deffo got a touch in getting the new engine, have you picked up your Trophy yet.

Looking sweet Dom, well done

Thanks Rhys, will be great when you get the phase 1 finished, it's looking epic.

Lol utter brain fail. Merged two threads in my head lol. I meant to say the spec list you've got is epic!

Lol, shame you had to sell the car, getting a house is a good reason though and a mx-5 is still great fun, the brakes are a nice bit of kit

Looks great!! What diameter is the wheel? I'm in the market for a new wheel soon and the Ocera looks good and not too expensive!

Wheel is 330 mm mate, they are a great wheel for the money, thanks

As always thanks for the kind comments Dan, don't really want to fit a cage, might scare off some potential victims :evil:

Very nice, Dom - and a great spec, too! I hope I can make it to CSS as I wouldn't mind a look at your wee beast (ooer!)

Hopefully yours will be ready by then as well, will be good to have a butchers

 

[MG cup]

Really well built and tastefully done by the looks of the pictures, some howl off the charger too.

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

Love everything about this Dom, enjoy it mate. :approve:

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

I think the callipers would look good a crazy colour? Pink or something? No? lol

 

[Sir_Dave]

Car looks awesome, but have a look at what happens if you roll it when running buckets & harnesses, but no cage.

 

[Brookie.]

Absolutely love it. Very purposeful.

You haven't gone into too much detail, but I imagine it was quite a battle to get Renault to replace the engine after you'd bolted a charger to it? I'd imagine that would have been their comeback for a long time.

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

This car is perfect, I'm looking at it and seeing if It was my car and could do anything else. but I can't find anything lol!

 

[domsclio182]

Really well built and tastefully done by the looks of the pictures, some howl off the charger too.

Thanks mate, charger sounds much better on the out side of the car, going to try and rig up the go pro on the front of the car so I can hear what it sounds like

Love everything about this Dom, enjoy it mate. :approve:

Thanks mate, that's the plan now, just want to enjoy it for a while without tinkering, well I will try.

I think the callipers would look good a crazy colour? Pink or something? No? lol

Errr.... No lol

Car looks awesome, but have a look at what happens if you roll it when running buckets & harnesses, but no cage.

Thanks Dave, I know I should really fit a cage, but I don't want any cheap rubbish and the good ones are soooo expensive. I will try and sort something out before the car goes back out on track.

Absolutely love it. Very purposeful.

Thanks, Renault were more concerned that the car was a track car and they have never had a head fail (apparently)

This car is perfect, I'm looking at it and seeing if It was my car and could do anything else. but I can't find anything lol!

I am not sure the car is perfect, really need to sort out the stone chips on the front and there are a few marks here and there, but I don't think I can handle it when it starts to chip again, thanks.

 

[Craig.]

That sounds like a great idea if only I had a Gopro haha, the chargers make some bloody noise :evil:

I will bring it down to CSS, then you can hook it up to yours as well

 

[Craig.]

That would be great

You should hook it up for the drive to CSS with it now being far from you, & get footage going into the show?

 

[domsclio182]
