power is unknown at this stage, i had it mapped '3psi and it made 205bhp, i am currently hovering around 7-8psi atm, the has since been mapped again by Sandy Brown.








Ill leave a link of a little power run during the mapping session with sandy.

This looks awsome mate. Bet she goes well I'll be keeping an eye on this

[Jimbo]

Very nice mate, seen a few pics of this floating around

Sure ive seen this in seaton a few times too

[Stef205]

yeah you would have seen it in seaton, well know at partservice.

thanks its goes well enough for me, was a gamble at the start seems to be working out.

few videos of the car at my local drag and drift event in march.

apologies for the quality, It was the first event i had ever done with the car, never even launched it so was a real learning curve.

[ozonehostile]

Awesome, saw it at fcs and had a quick nosey, didn't realise it was xu10 powered nor supercharged haha.

Is that also a mk1 clio 16v bonnet bulge?

[silverzx]

Are those 200SX S14 calipers/brakes?

[Stef205]

Awesome, saw it at fcs and had a quick nosey, didn't realise it was xu10 powered nor supercharged haha.

Is that also a mk1 clio 16v bonnet bulge?

yes it is, the bonnet is going soon, it was made by a surfboard company in cornwall doesnt fit very well.

Are those 200SX S14 calipers/brakes?

they were off a r33gts same shape but they dont have fins on them.

[silverzx]

Did it take much to get them fitted?

I have a spare set of 200SX S14/a calipers lying around..

Where in the SW are you?

[Stef205]

Yes it did take a lot tbh milling of the caliper and brackets, new wheels, custom disc etc. Just swap them for some 406 brembos a lot easier. I'm in lyme regis on the south coast.

[ozonehostile]

Just read it again, 205bhp is awesomely appropriate

[Stef205]

Yes it was the perfect power fiqure if you ask me

[Niall]

I wouldn't bother with 406 brembos. So many of them squeal horrendously and apparently there is one set of discs that stop that....at £220 a set

[Stef205]

My £23 callipers don't squeal one bit! Ha

[mikey b]

Just seen you down Lyme sound cool were about are you from I am only in Colyton

[Stef205]

[mikey b]

Ah cool explans why I saw ya there next time we have a south west meet you will ave to pop along your car sounds sweet chap

[Stef205]

yesterday i decided to do abit of tidying up, many repaint a few things. I also went about finding my boost leak that ive been suffering with but i was only able to check the pipes and intercooler as i am unable to pressurize through the charger as it has a odd inlet shape and nothing will seal to it, So i cracked out the redneck boost leak tester.


found a few pin holes, and a leaking join cause by a dodgy clamp. Now averaging around 7-8psi
Fitted the new strut brace to replace the rubbish etech brace which im sure is made from recycled bake bean tins! also replaced the m7 bolts in the top struts that where slighly bent with some m8 12.9 sockets.

also thought id tease niall so i hooked the airline up to the boost gauge and sent him his picture.



Finally refitted my rear quarter red trim that had been missing for some time now.
I had to make it out of a old door trim with the help of the grinder.

[ozonehostile]

I'm glad it's not just me who doesn't think much of those etech braces, took one off a car, leaning on it when I was taking to someone and could feel it flexing in my hand lol.

That new one an omp brace? Seem to be far more substantial than most haha

[Stef205]

Yes it's a omp brace, no flex from it. It wasn't new in fact it was in a poor state when I bought it, I stuck it in the blaster and painted again.

[Stef205]

Done abit of work to the 205 over the last few days.
My red carpet was getting blacker and blacker everyday so i decided to change it for a plain black carpet. Took the advantage and repainted the cage and also bought some new seats as i was falling out of the old seats. Ive yet to sort out some new harnesses but will more than likely go for some 5 points.


I also picked up some group n mounts from stew at fcs so ive started to fit them, already noticed the difference.


Ive been wanting to keep a eye on the charger temp and air temp, so i bought afew small digital read outs with probes which seem to give me a rough idea.

Painted my spare set of cam covers as the old ones had seen better days.

[procta]

looking good!

[mr_fish]

tidy install

must be a right hoot to drive!

[Stef205]

It doesn't really drive any different which is what makes it good, only until you stick your tow down does it become different. The real only differences is the noise and looks you get from driving it.

[HDIkyle]

Nice but 3 dump valves?

[Stef205]

Yes 3. I've done a lot of testing with the dump valves. The problem is that you always have boost pressure in the pipes. When I was running a single valve my data logs showed there was still a lot of pressure against the tb causing inlet chatter and feedback on the rotors.

Which is exactly what has destroyed my snout coupler I think

[Stef205]

Sandy described it as the equivalent of turbo chatter.

[Stef205]

so my spoiler has finally arrived from france. I have been wanting something different as to me the rear just look bland.
test fit




over this coming week ill get some paint on it and get it mounted.

[Seb_Ryan]

I actually quite like that..
