Not alot has been goin on with the cup the last few weeks,

Gave it a coolant change, fitted some bulbs i bought from Stancewhore

The cup will be coming off the road for about 3 months while I figure out what I am going to do with it. I want it more prep'd for track use but dont want to completely ruin the car and make it undriveable for normal use.

Plans include:

Replacing bushes
Coilovers (not sure which set up yet)
Look at induction methods for better airflow
Race battery
Buckets
Source and fit new exhaust and mounts, prob decat too
RS Tuner

Yeah still on apex springs at the mo, coilovers FTW though. 2118s were a craking wheel, no doubt my clio might be wearing another set in the near future

(Well just a nudge - if you do get rid of the wheels in the future....dibs!! lol)

Sad face

Looking good mate, i like the wheels, strange but it works!!

 

[brownyboy]

todays update

Rear interior bits removed
attempted to take exhaust system off
wheels off
removed RARB
sat it on axle stands

 

[CBetts]

Rusty axle stand, lol

 

[brownyboy]

Carobon cannister removed

Exhuast on

V6 Airbox set up on and acoustic valve removed

Then i decided it would be a good idea to attempt to reove the catalyst - OMG what a ballache! That will never be going back on once the decat is on there!

 

[brownyboy]

Removed fogs, painted calipers

 

[Gman]

Any plans for putting in ducting?

Calipers looking good again mate.

 

[brownyboy]

Might have to look at yours for ideas. Just leaving the arch liners out when I hit the ring

 

[brownyboy]
