C2 Evolution

[willsmith22]

Not too much to report,been on with wiring headlights,wipers and indicators, also stuck on the evo badge its only temp to see if i like it




It all runs and works as it should do on the axle stands,everything still works , speedo, revs,heater box, warnings lights etc, even still outside temp reading

Thanks for looking Will

hello,

you are correct it is a proper clio v6 cup car, the focus is a 4 wheel drive subaru engined rally car, both are owned by my friend who owns the workshop he lets me share the shed to keep the toys in, i think the ayc should just work the same as it did but if its no good will swap the diff for a mechanical one, i will be changing the rear lights after a trip to a breakers yard for some standard ones




thanks Will

Thanks for the comments, not sure on the foucs being mag featured Rick has had it 2 years and never had it featured,we never build the foucs but its not had full floor plan swap looks like the foucs floor has just been cut and altered to me.

Thanks Will

ha ha thanks i need to finish it yet but its not far off now

Hello,

Im still working on this slowly as also doing a house renovation at the same time, as far as the v5 goes im going to get it finished then have it checked make a few calls to make sure its legit, im looking for some bucket seats at the mo and need a set of road legal tyres, iv had a go at rolling the wheel arches out to take the wheels as still unsure on what to do with arches with regards to fitting a body kit etc




I know you can buy a arch rolling tool but i just fancied a go at it myself just using what i had in the workshop and it hasent come out bad but i think i need to cut the back bumper and strech it a bit at each end

thanks for looking Will

Hi Andy

The mini looks like a properly nice build a nice bit lighter than mine and like you say same sort of idea go light and fast with a proven tuneable engine, what sort of time scale has the build taken you

Thanks Will

Hi bud....Great work on the car, genuinely one off idea.

Just wondering if youve sorted anyone to do your mapping work on the car?? Im from a company based in Mexbrough Rotherham, we specialise in evo's and have built / mapped a lot of high powered cars for customers ( currently working on a 800+ evo 8 build ), and i personally own a C2 GT turbo doing 347bhp@1.4 bar on the origional 1.6 engine. Id love to be involved in some work on this car for you.

Hello thanks for the enquiry james with regards to mapping for my last evo 5 i used jamie@evotune in Durham to remap the standard ecu,the guy i bought the evo 4 from said that jamie@evotune also mapped the evo4 i cut up but i was planning on getting it checked out when i get the car finished, have you got any contact detials for the company,

Thanks to everyone else for looking and commenting

Hello,
I been running the c2 a bit but the bumpers are catching the tyres very slightly and im thinkin of a super 1600\maxi kit for the car does anyone know or have any contacts for a senisble priced kit for a c2, im hoping to paint the car so would be a time to fit a wide kit

many thanks Will

[willsmith22]

Hello thanks for the replys I have tried magnum motorsport already I saw the car at a rally cross event and thought that's just what I need but it was going to work out too expensive, iv stopped the arches catching now it was a bracket holding the front wings on that were doing most of the damage they are well trimed now, a couple of pictures of the car now it does look tatty paint work but that will come good in the end one day I will fabricate some arches and have it painted but it works well as it now

thanks Will

[willsmith22]

hello thanks for the comments I will just make my own arches , I can make it wider track than it already is using evo 5 sub frame as they were wider than evo 4 and use some different offset wheels , using a evo 4 was ideal as they are a lot cheaper and dam near same floor plan but narrower track to make it easyer to get under a c2, iv not yet weighed the car but I need too, iv also not raced anyone in it, over winter I will be taking engine out to do clutch and replace the gaskets as it does weep a tiny bit of oil so fancy giving it a rebuild and a few fancy parts into it

thanks will

[willsmith22]

Thank you sir, it will be one of last times out this year before a winter rebuild and tidy up, bit of a shame about the rain and the flood of police presence, but I understand why after the crash last time.

Will

[willsmith22]

C2 back in for winter rebuild and some uprated parts


Engine is coming out for a rebuild and new clutch

Ayc pump is coming off and being removed for good

All rear subframe is coming off to make way for a tubular jobbie

All dash, heater box and trim which is not needed is coming out, im aiming to go a bit more balls out with it

Boot floor to cut out, I want it flat, it never looked right with a bit of spare wheel well in it

Cusco Lsd to get rid of the AYC

Iv got plenty to do thanks for looking Will

[willsmith22]

Its no show pony, the yard is mega muddy for a start and the local roads arnt great but im not too bothered about the looks its how it goes, I didn't want to have to worry too much if it got damaged this is only a bit of toy for a bit fun

Will

[willsmith22]

Gathering a few bits now,

Bigger turbo to go on once engine is build this is sat next to the old one,




Tubular subframe for diff


You can see whats left of the spare wheel well just looks wrong so will get it cut out next


thanks for looking Will

[willsmith22]

A bit of work in progress fitting a super1600 kit,

Removal of the old rear quarters




Trial fitting the fibre glass




Inner arch fabricated to meet up to fibreglass

The kit is dwarfing the wheels at the min but it will come good in the end,
Thanks Will

[willsmith22]

hi was thinking of painting it red or white or the blue it is now as I quite like the colour, red as it was works rally car colour and the white was if it ever got stickered up anything goes with the white and then you always pull the stickers off and leave it blank

thanks will
