Hi Matt, you have me mistaken for Handy Andy.
This is an insult on so many levels.
Here endeth our dialogue.
Best wishes and regards TNT Andy

Oh ok then
I've been sizing up what turbo to use and ECU. I was either going to go for a Borg Warner s200 or an equivalent Garret unit.
For the ECU i was looking at the MoTec M84 or a DTA S60 PRO. Both of these can be integrated with the Dash2 display, and can run launch control and anti-lag
I'm after 450 at the hubs mate on the maximum setting, that's what the transmission will be able to handle all day long, if I push it any further it'll start breaking things
Cheers for the turbo though mate but with the engine being in a longitudinal position the turbo needs to be rotated 180degrees so I think the only type of turbo that would work would be an evo 10 one.
3071 sounds small then, isn't that GT35 territory? Twin scroll? not sure what's all the rage these days
something like this then http://www.lancerregister.com/showthread.php?t=449907
internal gates, so nice neat install, these cars practically build themselves
Ive got one of them borg w sx200 things. Extended tip and twin scroll. Supposef to be minimal lag. We will see..
Hi guys, went to Dave's today to see how the cars coming along and discuss the direction in which to take. The engine is in its final resting place, and the front differential and frame will be set another 80-100mm backwards than in the pictures.
This is means that the sump has to be slightly modified and at the same time we'll be increasing the capacity..... more lube is always better
Another plus is that the engine sits below the bonnet line snug as a bug
The inlet manifold was causing a problem, but came up with a plan to remove it from the flange and turn it upside down so its facing the correct way.
Cheers for looking guys
I absolutely love this, please keep this thread up too the end.
+1 fully subscribed. Please keep the updates coming mate, looks awesome
Prima/Campus whatever shells look so mint. I think I need to buy one for my project
This is more like it! Proper engineering going on! Some good stuff happening in the club at the moment what with crazy twingo's , 500+ bhp conversions , a turbo 2 restoration, evo engines and dare I say it my own attempts! Just need scoff to hit 1000bhp and we should get plenty of attention!
Excellent this squire keep the pics coming!
Cheers buddy, I'll keep the pictures coming
I'd love to do the work myself, but I don't possess the skills or equipment to do it, plus Dave who is doing the work for me has more than enough experience to carry out this conversion
Yea there are some fantastic projects in the club at the moment I may even get to make it to ND next and finally meet some of you guys the 5 won't be finished by then though

Amazeing project this mate whats the plan bodywork wise. Also whats the plan for the rear axle?
This is a great project love all the work going into it love the idea. Evo engines are great and bhp potential is great with them. If yo u need any evo parts let me know I have a couple of friends that break evos up for parts quiet regular :-) comes in handy for myself
Would you mind if I put a couple of pics up of this on the MLR forum?
This project is awesome soo glad to see it being done.
Not sure about the new steering wheel location
Love projects like this, will be following it to see how it comes along.
There's a guy building a clio with a shortened subaru floor plan and running gear, maybe when they're both built you guys could get together for the weirdest age old battle of which is best 5 or clio, evo or scooby but evo powered 5 v scooby powered clio
Bodywork wise it'll be wide arch, and custom fabricated around the wheels. I'm going to go for a look like the current WRC cars.
The rear axle will be a sierra cosworth setup, with a standard viscous rear differential slightly modified by Bara motorsport to handle the power output.
Cheers buddy, I'll PM you if i need anything Yep i decided to use the evo engine because its more easily tunable than the cossie unit and a more modern engineThis is a great project love all the work going into it love the idea. Evo engines are great and bhp potential is great with them. If yo u need any evo parts let me know I have a couple of friends that break evos up for parts quiet regular :-) comes in handy for myself

No i don't mind buddy if you want to pop a couple of pics on MLR, send us a link if you start a thread on it
Sorry buddy due to the track width and for handling purposes it'll be wide arch, but in a tasteful wayMe too, would be great sleeper if bodywork left as it is as o.e r5gtt with 4x4 Evo drivetrain!
cheers mateThis project is awesome soo glad to see it being done.
The new wheel location is perfect, whats wrong?????Not sure about the new steering wheel location

Nice Subaru running gear in a clio is it on the tinterweb? Link maybe?
Dave who is building the chassis for me, says that another project that he's starting soon is a Focus running a thousand HP supra engine and R35/R34 running gear MENTAL!!!
Cliosport thread
http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showt...Rooby-Clio-172
Quite a bit of waffle to wade through but more info than on the Facebook page
This thing is going to be a weapon, is it going to be used for competition at all?
Hi guys,
A little update on the car. I got the inlet manifold sorted from my mate Chris, I'm going to use an Evo3 manifold with the mating flanges changed to fit my engine and house the injectors, doing it this way rotates the inlet so its facing forwards. So the flow of air will be straight out of the top of the intercooler and into the inlet perfect minimal length boost pipes.
Turbo wise I've purchased an Evo10 turbo with delivery miles, so i was happy about that The way the turbo will be positioned on the manifold will have it facing forwards and the outlet from the compressor facing vertical, so it'll be straight out of the top of the compressor housing, 90 degree bend facing forwards, and straight into the top of the intercooler, again minimal length boost pipes=minimal lag
The front uprights have arrived as well and the front driveshafts are inbound as I'm typing, so Dave can finish off building the front up and can order the shock and spring adjustable coilover setup from AVO.
The wheelbase would of increased slightly, along with the track width, so I'll have to come up with the final idea soon on how the arches are going to sit
Cheers for looking guys
well done bud
Have you thought about the shell twisting?
Yes mate, this was one of the first things that was talked about. Once the chassis has been fabricated then there will be a cage installed which will pick up off the front and rear turrets and the floor bracing the shell together.
Plus i was thinking of having the seams stitch welded for extra strength, do you guys think it's worth it?
Hey guys,
Bit of an update for you. The engine position and mounts are now in, and the front subframe
From the pictures you can see that all mounts need final finishing, all the edges and mounts will be rounded and look as though they are oem.
The engine side braces are unfinished at the moment and will have extra bracing just underneath the main support creating a triangular shape.
A lot of the work has gone into the sump. At the front as you can see a small section has been removed to accommodate the front subframe. At the back of it though a larger section has been fitted to hold more oil. The oil pick up and everything inside still retains all the standard Mitsubishi equipment.
This is one of the main points we wanted to achieve having the engine sitting as far back as possible to eliminate as much understeer from the start.
Solid windscreen surround
The engine is off center slightly to accommodate the front prop shaft and differential, but the way it is angled means that the end of the gearbox will be perfectly central so the rear prop shaft will be nice and straight.
Thanks for looking guys
Such a great project
Epic...just Epic
Totally awesome, a cracking project.
Nice work as usual Matt.
Q - Is the bonnet going to shut?
wow. cant wait to see this finished.
I know me too
I managed to order an exhaust manifold that has a 4G63 flange and the correct orientation for the TD05, fingers crossed that'll be here mid next month.
With regards to the exterior I've decided to utilise standard GTT parts and modify them to fit the extra width of the car. I know it sounds a bit bodge it and scarper but honestly it'll have a high quality oem style finish to it
sounds good. im sure it will be great when finished.
a friend of mine has just finished his maxi build. 7 years. 7000 hours and 93 grand. body is exact rep as the original maxi but the engine is pushing 500+ hp. its a marvel just to look at let alone drive
