One year on and the cars now been revived. A change in job for me meant priority didn't really fall in favour of the clio. That being said, pulling onto the drive every day, confronted with the poor thing sat there disabled, would at least act as a daily prompt to find the time to organise a...

Of course! I’ll be under there over the next few days, I’ll grab some

I do! I’ve popped over a fwend request. Would be good to compare. It’s a handy bit of kit. I haven’t started deep diving into all its data yet, but I can see it being a real help.

I'd had Goodwood booked for the 5th April for sometime. Unintentionally this has become a year on year date, the past three years i've done days there on the 5th. Weathers always been a mixed bag previously, friday was no exception! I've been fairly busy at work recently. The cars taken a bit...

Your patience is admirable! With this many set backs it should be all the more sweet when it comes together.

Never enough time to get a job done completely. Ive been doing interior bits whe i can over the last 6 months. Pre conversion, I had a set pf SPG XL's that i'd colour coded for the last BMW i had. I took them apart again and painted the backs in preparation for some mounts, as and when i could...

Really looking forward to it!. I've had a look over your build, its looking amazing. Are you planning any days there yourself? I'd love to have a look around it.

Thankyou! its been every bit as good as i expected so far. I'm sure ill get the itch to develop the power a touch more at somepoint, but its plenty for now

Once finished it headed off for mapping to J.Cal at tdi south where it made 235hp, road tested and then returned to me ready for a ring trip in the first week of September. Out of the box its been fantastic. The way it gets down the road now is awesome. So much fun. A quaiffe got fitted during...

Dan kept me up to date as things progressed. The car had got trailered up as i'd had a bit of a mishap with the key just before booking day. The only one i had that worked was in my pocket on a morning we had heard that a dog was trapped in a sleuce gate up the river from our workshop. We jumped...

The k24 seemed a sensible route to take. More readily available than the k20, cheaper, more torque etc. The box and lump weight are close to the clio's setup and the integration using ECU Master and the renault system would see me retain all the oem function that car had previously. RPM would...

Hi all. This is my story of ownership so far. Theres plenty planned and il endeavour to record everything here. This conversion came about after i'd owned the car for a couple years, ownership became inevitable after i'd had a few track sessions at Goodwood in a friends 200. I'd been doing...
