This is where I got the weights from.

Gorgeous motor, this was the colour i wanted to do the clio in when it goes in for a full spray!

Keep us updated dude! Looks awesome!

Am I right or wrong in saying that those wheels are SERIOUSLY light?!

4.9KG

Are standard Turdbines and phase II's around the 7KG mark?

5,28kg - they are light.
But the tyres are quite heavy.
Probably because of alle the ekstra steel in the side walls.

With Michelin tyres the rim/tyre combo weighed in at 12,6kg
Same tyre on std. turdbine weighed in at 15,4kg.
So a good weight saving of 11,2Kg.

@ 1995clio16v:
Turinis are very nice wheels.
Believe me - i know that feeling of being confused.
More pics to come when Willwoods and coilovers are on.

@ seanofnp:
Thanks - I think its a nice colour - gets better everytime i see it.
It's sort of growing on me....
Don't get a respray in that colour - i'm sure you will hate it!!! LOL :D

@ Laine_16v:
To kind sir!

@ northy:
Rear bumper in Nana trendsetting style does look good.
Zollo - was that the guy that made those brilliant pictures of the Nana and the white TB'd beast?

Nice car

Really liking the PAS mod. Can you describe or show how you did it please? Looks like an oil union your using?

You should really have a little catch tank for the fluid as well

Bit surprised by your side exit that doesn't come all the way out. I wouldn't like to be sat in traffic with fumes trapped under the car, or on track with hot vapours coming out onto the underside of the car.

I guess you could use suitable oil unions of some kind.
I used a fuel tank extractor pipe thingy...
As they are on the shelf were I work.
- cap of
- remove brown thing with foam inside
- drill suitable hole
- fit extractor (cut to length) or souitable oil union
- tighten nuts on both sides
- fit rubber connector (piece of hose)
- connect hose to rubber connector (I used mecanyl hose which is fuel
and oil resistant - any rubber hose will do) and route to catch tank
- job done

The exhaust isn't really supposed to stop there.
We ran out of time putting it together
Surprisingly theres no fumes (that i can smell anyway)
I will finish the exhaust, routing it the std. way hiding the last muffler making it stealth.
It does have a nice rumble at the moment though!

Thanks everybode for the more than nice remarks.
Great knowing somebody else than myself likes it.
Especially after putting a lot of work into it!

Thought it was about time to post a few pictures of my car – The Orange
I’ve been working on this for a long time and it’s finally getting there.
Had this car for 10 years – going through different styling/tuning phases.
It’s only semi track s*@g’ish – as I’ve got a proper Clio Cup car waiting for some tender loving.

Thats some serious project Michael.

How long to get it into the current state?

i.e has it been a 10 year project regarding you wanting it to look like it does today.

Good question....

Actually started about 4 years ago.
Gearbox gave up on me, and it had to come out.
Doing this I noticed rust under the front window seal.
Had the window changed several years back - and it was a really bad job done. So I thought i'd do it properly and stripped it down to the bare metal.
Unfortunately in the middle of the project I had to change project locations. And the place doing the metalwork (as i'm an idiot with a welder) took a long time doing it. Even the place where it got painted took almost 7 months. And to be honest I lost interest at some point too.
I knew all along I wanted a "clean" low look. It will come down just a little bit more when changing to coilovers.
All in - it could have been done faster.

The car has been through different stages in its life.
Boy racer 17 inch rims - spoilers and so on.
But taste and style changes as you get older.
I've gone through a couple of engines too.
2,1L blew up during mapping! I was totally gutted.

Oh my goodness! Did you get any compensation from them (if you used a company) for blowing up your engine?

Thanks for the more detailed pics of the PAS cap mod. Was thinking about trying to do something with the cap and this has given me some motivation :D (Just not the money lol).
