@sideshowfred1990 some big things coming for my Clio over the next few weeks Sent from my VKY-L09 using Tapatalk

Just read this build from the start and what a car! A lot of inspiration for my own in this thread. I noticed you've removed the airbag Ecu, does that throw any errors up on the dash or does removing it take away the airbag light issue? Sent from my VKY-L09 using Tapatalk

Yes i'm afraid it is another stripped out Clio. Wasn't the original plan but thinking about how few miles per year I'll be allowed I thought I might as well go the whole hog. Factory Recaros are hopefully going this weekend then I'll get the cage on order and start preparing the interior for a...

Another week another update. I don't seem to be hanging about with this car! New rear shocks turned up in the week along with a new bumper bracket. Saturday was spent putting the new shocks and the old springs back in place. Then it was time for the wheels to go on so at least I can move it...

Yes, I'm going to pick a rear beam up tomorrow. Need to check the shock absorber properly but looks like it should be OK. Hopefully I will know by Sunday what I need to actually replace. Then need to check 2 of the wheels and get proper alignment done on it. Once I've got that sorted it's onto a...

Yes plan is to repair it myself. It only looks to be the rear axle and a bumper guide so not too bad really. Definitely an every cloud moment, in many ways it allows me to do what u wanted but if far from the ideal way of doing it. Spoke to my insurance earlier who are happy to keep me insured...

Time for an update I really wasn't expecting to make. Three weeks ago on my way to work I I was taken out on a roundabout. The car has been declared a write off due to the repairs needed but only as a category N. This meant I decided I was going to keep the car with an original plan to break...

No trackdays planned yet, with a wedding this year I haven't got the spare funds. That said I'm keeping an eye out for the Evo magazine track evening dates as they are always enjoyable without the expense of a full day. I have got some road trips lined up though to keep me entertained. Sent...

It's been a while since I've out anything on here but I've started doing bits to the car again, albeit fairly slowly. I fell out with it again for a while but with its value pluming daily I couldn't find anything I would genuinely want to change of for that was affordable. First thing was to buy...

Another vote for Royal here, I had mine done in alcantara a year ago and can't fault the quality of the work Sent from my VKY-L09 using Tapatalk

Been a little while since I updated this thread. I've once again had some mixed feelings about the car, mostly down to having the normal Recaro's back in and not enjoying the driving experience. Anyway, couple of trips to Wales have happened along with some new front brakes and an oil change...

Slight sideways step for the Clio, got fed up of the mis-matched bucket seats so have stuck the factory Recaros back in for now. I can't bring myself to sell them as I feel like I won't be able to easily sell the car if for any reason I have to with two buckets in it. The Sabelt will be up for...

Looks like a great day. Loved it when I was in that area fora weekend. Llanberis pass is a must in my opinion, was lucky that one of my best drives there was in the evening when there wasn't another car to be seen the whole time.

Bad news on the seats! I'm dreading ordering my second Pole Position at the moment incase it goes on a long waiting list. Gonna look awesome with all these other bits fitted though. Sent from my VKY-L09 using Tapatalk

Had a productive morning yesterday with the day off work. Luckily all the bits I had ordered turned up by Thursday so thought I would put the Pole Position in its correct position. I've got to say that the Recaro direct fit frames are wonderfully made and offset the seat perfectly. The only...

I've got the omp frames in mine (currently what my Pole Position is sat on) but I love it being that low and am dreading my new frames being too high. I was thinking of red seatbelt's the other day as they would really suit the interior with the buckets. Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk

Well I bit the bullet and ordered the frames this morning. Guess i'll just have to make them fit! I know what you mean on the seat backs. Red might be a bit over the top. Don't want to do carbon as I don't think it'll look good wrapped in that style. I like the grey idea, maybe an anthracite...

Well I got impatient this morning. I've ordered some sidemounts for the new seat this morning but am waiting to see if they match the mounting holes on the seat. On all the info I can find the current Pole Position seats have a distance of 286mm between mounting points but mine is an older one...

Well I did a buy this afternoon. If nothing else it shows what direction I'm taking the interior in. Just need a second one now and all the brackets that are required to fit it

No I havn't! Hopefully i'll be able to reveal what I'm planning tomorrow evening. Just trying to work some logistics out first though Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk
