DG
TBH not overly bothered about Peak Power... as long as it has poke and can be ragged to Death I will be happyOriginally Posted by Duncan Grier

I think anything over 160bhp should be enough to hussle a lot of cars on track, imagine the delivery is going to be very linear which will help us most of that power most of the time
Ragged to death
When is is due to get on the rollers?
DG
You won't get much of a gain from just fitting carbs, anything over the standard output would be nice.
Remember, the standard clio 16v was quicker point to point than a standard R5gtt, it just didnt feel faster though.....!
Matt I have no idea what they made as standardor in fact how much the R1 carbs would make over oe setup but either way sure it wil go really well and sound great.
Keep up the great work on it Matt, looking really good sir
DG
With the front section cut out is there going to be a new section welded in to clear the rad? This is what Scoff did on the VAG 5 but so long back cant remember what the effect of leaving it open would be?
DG
Sounds like you are interested in buying this thing Duncan?
Just to put things into perspective, my Clio on bike carbs (and a few twiddly bits)
Makes a lot more than it should.....
Just what I need in my life.....................more cars lol. Not finished the ones in the garage
Been chatting to shoppers about the car and should be interesting
I could always be tempted with some old school motor - Scoff quickly talked me out of mating a 5 to the octavia 4x4 bits I still have spare lol.
Sarah is very keen to have her own track car as she finds the track beast & VX220 tweaked ones a bit much (they scare me lol) and hates the octavia 4x4 estate love bus (not that is it a track car)
DG
Told you Duncain, get your arse back into a 5 & have fun....
Cheap track day cars FTW
I'll try my best for ND.....
Work keeps getting in the way!!
I have a track car already LOL it just needs 2-3 days of work to finish and due to other car projects just dont have time to complete and house move has delayed things further
I cant see the tfsi conversion in the VX220 been completed either for next week as too many jobs to do and still waiting for parts to arrive. Would have been good to give it a shake down but makes more sense to get some mies on it prior to a track day and rr 1st
Matt in the words of the mighty Mart - Chop chop then
DG
She'd look the don in an Evo 6
I'll sow that seed to her at ND
Maybe after a few sessions at ND driving your evo 6 could work lol. Be carful mind she wants a pink roll cageShe'd look the don in an Evo 6
I'll sow that seed to her at ND
DG
Handy for you, I know someone selling a nice blue 6...
I hear he only wants a Monkey for it as well!Handy for you, I know someone selling a nice blue 6...
that much he told me a bullseye steve..I hear he only wants a Monkey for it as well!
that much he told me a bullseye steve..now you've got me? Sure it wasn't a donkey
Can you guess what it is yet??
Blanks for injector holes, one on the far left will provide vacuum for servo, one on far right will provide map sensor....
map off one port will give funny readings, you'd usually take a feed off each port into a chamber to give smooth readings
Whos doing the lathe work?
Looking good shoppers, will it be ready for Blyton ?
Matt is doing all the work including lathe work!!!
Matt is hoping to get it running for Monday, don't know of we will have time to get it fully set up on rollers intime for nd...but seeing as I ain't going I ain't to bothered.... But DG is looking to borrow it so fingers crossed it will be ready

Well done for doing the work matt, and of course shoppers for keeping the car! Update coming soon for the pearl phase 1 elmof1 thread
Matt was giving the engine a look over, noticed the cambelt was abit slack
http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/h...v/86ff09ab.mp4
So that's getting done aswell
any difference in response to a standard f7p engine?
According to Matt it goes bloody well, when we get it on the rollers I will post up graphs.
New air filters arrived today
Went out in the Red 5 today, with Matt driving it.
Felt very planted, goes very nicely, sounds awesome
Got to get used to getting into a car with a full cage again, but its a fun track car so not to much of an issue.

BTW. Mike, who Mot'd the car today is a privateer in the Air Asia Clio Cup series at the moment, he asked if he could have a go....
He came back with a grin on his face and remarked its a 'disgustingly good fun car'. I think thats good...
