Trackspec Clio 197

[Pav]

im living my conversion all over again..where did you get it from??how much was it??
mine cost me £630 i think..

 

[trackspec197]

Direct from TTV mate at trade price. I actually have a TTV Megane flywheel and R26R and cover as a spare in case the Clio box causes me problems too.

Decided to take the bottom arms and links off today while I'm still waiting for the new clutch and cover. First thing was to shot blast everything ready for a bit of paint tomorrow.

 

[trackspec197]

All nice and new again!

 

[trackspec197]

5 more days at least until my clutch and cover arrive! Can't believe how long this is taking!!

 

[Pav]

good job on the parts above..Will be a brand new car when all is finished...

Thanks mate. Its what happens when you're waiting around for parts. Lol

The sand blaster makes parts that aren't pitted look like new. No point replacing the links when it only takes minutes to make them like new.

 

[Pav]

did you replace the ball joints too??

 

[trackspec197]

No mate ball joints are like new on it. But have replaced the dust covers. Can't believe how expensive they are!

may be a cheaper option to get a whole part then??

Sorry meant the complete balls joint. Covers were only a couple of quid.

Hope you're planning on getting some proper bushes in those rubber ones before they go back on track! Massive difference with front end feel!

Finally the new clutch has arrived and has been fitted this evening. The gearbox is now refitted too.


Engine and box will all be going back in tomorrow and should hopefully get everything else refitted too.

More updates and photos tomorrow!

 

[Pav]

what did you go for with the clutch??looking forward to some more pics/updates..

 

[trackspec197]

Clutch and cover are uprated F4R items to cope with the additional torque.

It all went back together in a matter of minutes today since everything was ready to except the new motor.





As it stands now!



I just need to sort the coolant pipes finish connecting up the electrics. Then bleed the clutch and the boost pipes, radiator and cross member etc can go back in.

More updates shortly!

 

[Pav]

this is fantastic..great progress..like these conversions more and more..when do you think you will be done??

 

[trackspec197]

Not sure mate. I'm going to order the hard pipe kit so I have consistent pipe diameter throughout. I've also got to send the ECU off and then there's the new exhaust system to sort. Otherwise that's pretty much it other than the list above and fluids etc.

Superb! Really coming along!
