Impulse buying ftl. Didn't buy the crank pulley, it's more hassle than its worth and cost I don't need at the moment. If I've still got the car when the cambelt needs doing again then I'll buy the uprated CP then.
Hopefully get some time on it this weekend to design these rear arches...

Spent a bit of time on it this evening. Aircon removed and old rad taken out for good. I've taken the lights out to tidy up the wiring of the HID's. Having OCD and being an electrical locksmith, I hate loose wires floating around so all needs a clean up. I've lost all the amalgamating tape I had before so that'll have to wait.
Manky old sound proofing has been taken out too
Tomorrow I'll get on with lifting the engine and removing the aircon pump thingy and auxiliary setup ready for whenever the new Pure Motorsport shizzle arrives but I suspect that won't be till next year as they're waiting for everyone's payments before sending out and we all know what CS is like with people opening there wallets

Don'tcha know, the thrill is in the chase.
I assume (that like me..) Bomber enjoys building the cars, rather than having something completed, sitting on the driveway looking pretty.

So are you SCing this one too?

Million percent what Gray said, I rarely actually drive the cars as I have two other vehicles to use before my 'toys'. I enjoy tinkering and building them mostly. Let's be honest, with the state of people's driving and British roads it's hard to enjoy a car like this or the sc'd clio unless on track.
The main reason for selling the previous clio was for wedding funds, it's paid for the honeymoon and spending money. This Clio has cost me the same as the ECU and wiring of the SC'd one

My curse also - I've really enjoyed building the Clio this year but I'm already starting to worry about it being finished and not having anything else to work on.
I love doing track days but the real fun is building the thing!

ET0 15x8 wheels, 195/50/15 tyres.
The rear calipers have been filed down to allow the wheels to fit but still are using a 5mm spacer. I'm going to machine these on a mill and try and get rid of the spacers. With this size offset and tyre, the rear arches need pulling out as well as rolling and lots of camber. All good fun...
And no Dan, this will never be used a wedding car. Got the choice of three decent cars for that duty

Wouldn't like to say, but on the 7 inch wide version the dish is narrowed and don't look as good IMO. Could still work on the clio though. They are very very very close to the caliper in this offset. The fronts fit without outer arch work in 8inch, not sure how much inner arch beating they need yet.
Haven't really got round to the arch concerns yet, sorting the engine shizzle out first
