Got some French Clutter in the garage........... with many plans.........

[MAT ED30]

I looked at it when you told me about and I noticed how much he had spent on it so it was a good price for a car with all the hard stuff done

[QD MBE]

I priced up all the bits, and took a %age off (2nd hand prices) and it was cheap. 

[MAT ED30]

How much you get for the other one ?

[Tfsi_Mike]

Sounds like a fantastic spec.  Will be ace to drive!

[QD MBE]

How much you get for the other one ?

A couple of £100 more than I paid.  Sold in 12 hours too.

[QD MBE]

Very similar throttle set up.

[MAT ED30]

Nice one

[Hurdy]

How do you find these bargains QD?  You must spend hours trawling the French clutter sections of the internet

Good find though

[Greeners]

He was giggling like a school girl about it last night!! 

[Top Cat]

Yes.    lovin the throttle bodies, reminds me of Robin's Italian horns.

Update

Gave the car a clean today, and sorted out a few jobs.  

1.  Replaced a whole load of fasteners with decent allen key headed bolts.
2   Removed a load of plastics from the rear of the car.
3.  Gave the car a decent clean and wax (used some OTT wax - Swissvaz BOS - Had it in the garage from the TT)
4.  Sorted the steering wheel.
5.  Raised the front coillies by 10mm.  Drivers side needed a touch of persuasion with carp in the threads, but got there in the end.
6.  I had some Decent wiper blades, and started to Re-Wiper the back end, just waiting on a plastic cap and the right rear blade.
7.  Gave the wheels a decent clean and seal.  (ps they don't come with caps - Palmer Motorsport wheels.)
8.  Converted my 4 point Harness into a 6 point, Oreca harnesses are made by TRS, so a call to them sourced 2  twin point crutch straps for £10 delivered!
9. Sorted out an oil leak.
10.


Future Plans

1. Caged Laser in Frome are welding in some door bars and a harness bar (to get the harness angle right)
2. Booked in for a Full Fat mapping session now the engine is run in - Friday 2nd March.
3. Fit the Whiteline Rear ARB.
4. May swap the coillies for some Bilsteins (TBC).
5. Refit the seats - Straight!!!  
6. Remove the last airbag in the car - Passenger side.
7. Remove some more plastics, and make some door cards.
8. Tidy up the looms.
9. Make some centre caps for the speedlines.
10. 2 piece discs and brake ducts?

Above all enjoy it.  It really is cheap fun.

[Janner_Sy]

Absolutely love it.

The chassis even in full; fat trim is awesome.  I had a go in a friends stripped out 182 a while back and was blown away, but if there was one thing these cars needed, it was more power.  I dread to think how fast this could go around a track now!!

What sort of power are you expecting out of it?  They are notorious for not making their quoted figures from the factory and being N/A not cheap to tune.  So is good to see something like this

2118's by the looks of it Dave? Look superb  

RS Clio's and Speedline wheels are a peaches and cream combination.
The seats are delicious. It's screaming out "rev me hard to the limiter"  

You just know this will go, sound and handle very nicely.

[QD MBE]

I think somewhere around 210 - 215.  The cams give a delicous lumpy idle........

The jewel in the crown is the LSD.  Even on the running in map (rev limiter set at 4500) it grips and goes.  The tyres are a part of that too............Toyo Proxes TR1R's 205/50/15's.

Weight is my main aim now.  Not sure what it weighs now, the only plastics left in are the dash, headlining and the door cards.  Soon to be sorted..............
