As promised some pics of my car,was originally a Naples valver but was smashed down drivers side,so after a while it now looks like this.

Nice mate, Not 100% keen on the kit, But the whole car looks like it has been done to a very high standard, Well done.

Love the engine bay! You hybrid it? or just using the willy manifold??

Um,thinking about taking the I.K off and refitting standard airbox,dont think its doing anything apart from noises,lmao.

Going to chip and remap the ecu aswell,tried contacting GunnerGibson as i heard he's doing chips now,but no luck as yet,otherwise ill take it to Hillpower or ChipWizards,also its developed a chirping noise so got to sort that,think its the fuel pressure regulator but not sure.

Obviously because of the wheels its not going to be the quickest of clios but im glad for the swap of engines as this ones got so much more torque through the gearing range,well impressed.

up to a week ago i had twin exits (182 style) but they were too loud and sorta spoiled the clean lines of the car so opted to have single scorpion back on,much better sounding :wink:

i take it that was aimed at you then mate,its up to you if you want twins on the back as its your car,i put them on mine but they didnt look quite as good as id hoped and the noise over 3.5k was ridiculous,felt like my ears were being exploded,if you want twins then fit them,they werent for me tho 8) :wink:

Thanks for the comments people. :D

I bought the interior secondhand from a chap on RSC,it was originally fitted in his clio which was a show car,not sure but i think its an early Carisma jobbie,i know he paid whoever did it around 3k to do it all,i didnt pay even a third of that for all of it as he just wanted shot of it for his next project.There are a few bits that need repairing and retrimming but im on to it atm,plus i have a friend who's shithot at leather stitching(she made my gear gaiter) and is doing my dashtop.Think i wouldve prefered the valver seats to be retrimmed rather than the Corbeaus but hey,theyre still comfy :wink:
