Hi Scott, hows progress going with her? Looks like you've started work already.

So. Had no internet for past few weeks due to house move. Finally back online. Sadly due to house move attention has been diverted away from the car for the time being. However, few updates: Fitted a KTEC bolt in cage (just a short term thing until proper weld in job) and TRS harnesses sourced...

Re: Road/Track 172 Smart :cool:

Cheers :)

Ok so i need some seats and cage asap.

Quick video of the noise. It is addictive: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZl5cfIiVS8&feature=autoplay&list=HL1346076038&playnext=1

Anyone know of any seats for sale. Got to be within a couple hours drive..

Probably going for a bolt in - safety devices more than likely :cool:

Which cage you going for bud?

Ok so got it back from KTEC. Had 421 cat cams fitted, Jenvey ITB kit as well as a few other tasty treats :) Made 207bhp so pretty chuffed with that. I would be more enthusiastic but took 4 hours to drive the 82 mile journey home due to w**k holiday traffic! Popped into work on way back and...

Any chance i can go to this or is it too late? I want track time... hmmmm :race:

Ok so just investing in a 330mm wheel, quick release boss and whiteline rear arb. Will all be fitted when returns from KTEC. Going to try get a few decent trackdays in this year (testing) and then try sort some proper racing out for 2013. Next on the list Cage and seats :cool:

Mann Egerton in Exeter bud, Inchcape owned.

The GTi-6 was standard engine but spent a bomb on chassis system. Cage is next on the list - using Safety Devices me thinks. Just as a footnote, any ideas how much power is drained up with having the aircon pulley setup? Might get the aircon delete fitted when having the ITB's done.. All work...

Sold the old wheels on ebay for 60 quid. they were bk i think. ITB's ordered as well as some catcams. Going to get fitted and mapped next week, so she's almost ready for the first track outing :cool:

Drove this today round the portuguese gp circuit. Pure bliss, plus had road tyres = mega drifts! :cool: Going to be bringing the clio here when shes complete

Ok so afternoon off work today. Fitted the Oreca group A system, sounds lovely! Then replaced the driveshaft and gearbox oil,: Then fitted the Ktec top mounts :) That will do for today, won't be anymore progress now for a couple weeks as off to Portugal :cool:

:)

used to be a mechanic, now work for VW as a sales exec. did all the bleeding today with DOT 5.1. Feels nice but still in the bedding in phase so will update with pics tomorrow :cool:

well 3.2k tbf :butt:

Ktec want 3k for itbs, jen 90, cams and map though for all new gear.. and this engine has only covered 49k :clown:

cheers lewis, i like the idea but i hate wiring and thinking re-wiring into a ph2 loom will be a mission.. unless anyone else thinks otherwise? what cams are they though bud?

Yes, this is where she will be sent for a beasting when complete :)

I've always had big brake conversions and these given my record are just a minor upgrade :cool: Plus the std calipers are s**t imo. But whatever, you obviously know wayy more than myself. Anyway, fitted them this evening after work, had to quit just as was about to start the bleeding due to...

Just seen this thread Ian, you will probably remember my credit card details after the amount i spent with you over the years :star:

Oh, now you've said that I'm going to send it all back. :sleepy:

So, decided i wanted another 205 /306 gti track toy again but worked out the clio 172 was a better choice (newer, as many if not more performance parts available). Plus had a 1.2 clio as a runabout when was at uni and was awesome! :race: Anyway, few examples of past toys: 205 gti on weber's :)...
