my Clio 172 cup turbo

Well I've had the car for years, it used to be my daily, but a baby and the realization that there are better cars for going up and down the M1 to work meant I bought a Volvo s60 (great for the job) and set to work track prepping the clio. It has a uprates pagid rs12 pads, brembo hc discs, sportline springs on cup dampers (which work great), lightweight battery relocated to boot, most stuff stripped out, stainless ktec exhaust and finally the ktec turbo conversion. Which I have spent some time making right as its less than perfect out of the box. Still have poly windows, door cards, turbo water plumbing and oil cooler to do but I thought I'd pop up some pics now. I've had allot of fairly raw cars inclusing an evo6 tvr chimaera hc and lotus Elise but this thing on a good b road is plain silly! 250bhp per tonne if I've done my maths right. I'll weigh and dyno it soon but hoping for sub 900kg and 225 bhp.

Hope the pics will link from google docs...

Nice I bet thats a hoot to drive.

Will do a video soon, just need a mount for my camera

I've gone for the upper position because its better than I lower mount which will compress the spine in a crash! I accept they are longer than desireable.

Out out interest, what were the issues with the 'bolt on turbo package'?

I don't really trust a bolt in cage to secure the belts, might make a harness bar up.

I do have the lower grill and may be a good idea to help stop stone damage.

Bought a set of r888s yesterday, should tame second gear a bit!
