Progress on the wing:
Unfortuantely the nice spread-tow weave was distorted while building the wing... so it has some flaws but the form of the wing is fine and it can handle hundreds of kilos of downforce. More than enough for my project.
And I started with the big lower front canards:
New front fender:
Another upgrade is the polished and port machted intake manifold where Max from MS Custom Engineering did a great job:
Last but not least I started with the big front canards. Currently I am building the moulds:
The first layer of gel coat needs to cure for...
A lot of things happened in the last months. Gearbox and Engine are out of the car and getting rebuilt at the moment.
Before/After cleaning the engine room:
And I 3D scanned everything, just in case I need it in future:
I started building carbon fiber parts for the car, beginning with...
Just wanted to give you an quick update. I am still on it. Need to modify the body to get a proper mesh for simulation. The current one is crashing during the calculations. Unfortuantely very time consuming but I need to get it working this month as I also need to build all those parts from...
Hi,
did anybody have their cylinder head flow tested and know the actual numbers?
I have seen two diagrams in some thread, but it would be great to have some more diagrams or numbers with the mods done so it can be compared.
Cheers,

Very interesting thread with nice simulations! Currently I am also simulating some aero options for my asphalt rally clio. Opening the side vents and putting openings in the rear bumper will be part of the simulation.
I wanted to share some news and how the season went for us this year.
All in all we had two 1st places and multiple 3rd places in our class and we are quite happy with it for our first year together in the cockpit. My co-driver had his first rally season ever!
We hope that we can improve our...
The engine was built new from scratch with high compression pistons, machined head, rally cat cams, full R3 Maxi Evo header + exhaust, R3 Maxi Evo Carbon intake, MBE 9A9 ECU with full remapping.
I just stumbled across this old thread about my previous rally clio. Guess what, there is a new one since this year! :grinning:
It's a well built Clio 3 RS with lots of parts from the R3 Maxi and more.
The car has 230 hp at 7800 rpm. We also tried 8400 rpm and had about 245 hp, but the car...
Looks like the old videos don't work anymore. My favourite one:
Another one of my very first test back in 2015. You can see the open-diff problems at the corners.
Found some old pictures from 2015 :blush:
One of the Clios is still racing. Amazing and powerful car with lots of R3 parts. He is winning mostly every rally in his class where he starts :flushed:
Some more pics of the last rally i was visiting this year...
Just found my old thread while searching for rally Clios :grinning:
I sold the car after the 2015 season btw. But I'll try to get back into rallying with a Clio in 2020. If I am lucky I can buy my old Clio back as the current owner wants to quit rallying at the end of 2019 :)
Forgot the update...
I repaired the car and participated at the last race for my championship. I had some steering problems and a cracked exhaust header. But I finished the race with place 9 of 26 in my class. I got enough points to finish my championship on the 2nd place out of 30 teams :)
I...
Nein, haben gestern neue Bleche eingeschweißt. Heut war ich auch kurz beim Christian. Und morgen wird dann hoffentlich fertig zusammengebaut. Samstag ist dann meine letzte Rallye für diese Saison.
