:rasp:

Haha ! Not repaired the one i bust before yet, the clio's not turned a wheel in over 2 months. Hoping to have a real push on in the next few weeks ready for the spring. Got a couple of small modifications to make :rasp:

 

[Tunst]

Look forward to some updates then!

What instrument cluster have you put into it? Looks sweet!

 

[cat171]

This project is insane!

How do you keep weight in the front end though ? I didn't see much there.

 

[overboost]

So.................I've been busy.........

 

[peedee]

Well that happened all of a sudden. It was black and had chewed up a gearbox last time I saw it

 

[-J-]

Wow... How have I only just seen this.

Apart from the wheels that's pretty damn amazing.

Thanks, and i have to agree. I'm looking round for some different wheels. Would prefer to stay 16". need to be 7" wide on a 42 offset really so i can squeeze some bigger rubber into the arches. Compomotive mo's would have been nice but they are rocking horse s**t !

Lol, it's been sat gathering dust for at least 12 months ! Not quite finished yet. Bits and pieces to do.

Rubbing strips to fit
Bumper strips to paint satin black
Window / door rubbers to source, although i think i've sorted that one
Lower tailgate trim and front grille and a scuttle to also source.

Plenty of other stuff, but that can wait !

Favourite car on here by far!

I bet the boost feels like a bus has hit you everytime you burry your foot!

 

[Cw Tuning.]

Truly inspirational build. Are the internals of the lump forged?

Awwww bonnet de-badge makes me sad. Rest makes me happy!

 

[cat171]

That thing is bloody crazy!!

 

[overboost]

I managed to find some different wheels. Oz super t's. Repainted them in a mid grey with a hint of the brown in. They'll do for now.

 

[Scrooge]

Amazing bit of kit and looks proper smart, it's missing something and I really can't think what though.

Vw festival was on at Harewood House last weekend, and i managed to sneak the Clio in with the VR6 Owners Club. Surprisingly i didn't get tied to a cross and burnt alive ! Here's some pics
