[trackday_prep] My 205 GTI-6 Supercharged Track Car

[Daxed 7]

Is the fan mounted directly to the radiator face using the plastic fixings (similar to cable ties)? - Don't know what others experience of these is, but I mounted a fan using the supplied fixings and over the period of a few months the vibration of the fan in use caused it to wear it's way through a water channel and hole the rad.

 

Ended up fabricating some proper mounts.

[Spiky 37]

yes they are, mounted as you say

 

 

mmm maybe i may re-think this then

[Spiky 37]

ok decided to finish the brake lines tonight

 

 

 

 

 

fuel sysem next, though i only need to connec the pipes to the intank pump and tighten all fittings then flush the system through

[Powers 13]

You have been busy!

Not far off from running then, just the diff and gearbox left.

Make sure you cusion the battery, if it's a small red top racing gell type they don't like a lot of vibration, so pack the underneathe with some foam or similar.

Looking good!

 

Which clio is the smaller filter from?

 

I would have thought its one of the 1.8 16v ones, R19 16v too. Thats what I use.

 

Keep going Spiky, you are very good as a development mule! We are going to end up with nigh on identical cars soon, that is when I have copied all of your ideas

[Spiky 37]

yeah garry right, went and bought and i quote" please can i have a oil filter for a 1.8 16v clio from around the n reg ...lol"

 

and thats what i got

 

 

hay garry, this is an expensive mule..pmsl
