Alien Green 200 CUP

Hi all,

I’m new to the MK3 chassis since breaking my supercharged K20 MK2.

My first car was as a MK1 Clio which is where the love for Clio’s stems from.

Here’s my old 172 CUP



And this was my MK2 supercharger K20 painted storm grey with every option from PureMotorsport, mfactory plate LSD etc

I did build a F4R on ITBs before the K20 went in.



And this is the new AG 200. I have a lot planned to bring up to standard and improve it a lot.

Yikes… That’s some previous builds you’ve had! Look forward to seeing this AG develop

Thanks.

I can’t wait for it to progress. Already had a big delivery from PureMotorsport

Welcome.

Surely you are not going to keep the engine standard - what are your plans?

Haven’t decide yet on engine. I have kept my K20 engine / gearbox tho, already have the engine mounts to fit it in the MK3 also.

I’ll focus on the suspension first.

Big delivery from PureMotorsport



First 2 boxes and we have bucket seat mounts and drivers foot plate.



Got the foot plate in first



Also fitted my steering wheel. Defo need a spacer and quick release.



I’ve wiped over all the floor to clean it up from dust and shit, removed the sound deadening and given it a lick of paint quickly. Will looking into painting the inside AG I think as I hate the black.
I fitted the best Sparco seat on the passenger side and fitted my Corbeau seat from my MK2.



I’m waiting for a fair few bits I’ve order still.

Also tempted to book Mallory Park on the 22nd as it’s 20 minutes away from me.

Removed a lot the tired stuff.

This AG has a Akra exhaust that I might look to sell with a Toyo manifold.

Any ideas what it would be worth if I do?

So steering wheel was far to far away and I frantically ordered an OMP snap off boss and 60mm spacer from demon tweaks Monday to arrive yesterday, as I’d booked Mallory Park track day for today.



Measurements were spot on and the wheel is now perfect. Other than the door cards still not turning up it was ready to go.


As it was my first time driving a MK3 chassis (and this actual car) I wanted to test it as it was.

So spec of the car as I’ve purchased and altered the interior is.

I’m yet to confirm all of the modifications but the car was mega on track overall.

Handling wise it was great.

Brakes mega.

Seat, steering wheel and foot plate all mega.

The 200 electric column feels real good, much better than the mk2 DCi units.

Engine pickup from low down wasn’t very good at all. Maybe down to the rubbish air filter on it. Any suggestions on this?

The standard shifter tower “feel” isn’t nice. It has nylon gearknob on but the actual plastic unit bolted to the car seems to flex.
Again some suggestions here would be useful

I really don’t like the front splitter, splitter rods, JDM bumper catches or the Fake aero catches.

This race dash that’s in it is to low, so the stalks and surrounding plastics cover the coolant and fuel levels. I’ve already ordered the fix for this, just waiting on it.



Engine mounts feel sloppy and you get the Powerflex floaty and flex feel in the wishbones.

Need to dig out some parts from the PureMotorsport delivery I reckon.

Some pics I took today
