Nice... Aftermarket brakes then? Or keeping the standards for now?
I was never gonna go standalone or digidash but i thought stuff it lets go the whole hog
Ive actually no idea the best way to go about it, ive just unwrapped all the wiring and started tracing through what im no using and removing it... Hopefully all will be good
I think this weekend ill stick the dash back in for putting the cage in, get it in place and make a start fitting it
Yeah will go big brakes eventually. The brakes are pretty good for stock atm.
That's the way I'd do but unsure it'll work after hahaha.
Sounds a plan get cracking and take some pics

Thats why its taken me so long, i still want the car to work haha. Its worrying but you wont know until you try.
Aye ill get some pics, gonna get some pics and show how much wiring etc ive removed so far too, its surprising.
Whens the wheels going on then?
Yeah they suit clios really well. 9.5kg a wheel, not too heavy
Yeah defo can fit decent size calipers behind em
Fitted the wheels tonight only to find the front tyres are resting on the Coilovers can't even turn the wheels spacers are required lol
Paint inside abit. Only to tidy it up abit.
Also started putting the coolant hoses on and I dropped the rad into place.
few more bits turned up aswell

Did a small amount tonight
Taped the windows up so I can paint the front of the cabin.
Started making the coolant lines to the heater
And started moving the loom out the way. Have decided what to do with all the excess wire, wanna go standalone ecu with a custom bare essentials loom.

Done a bit in the clio this weekend
Changed the camber on the front so the wheels cleared.
Fitted my blower fan and t7 heater and ran all the ducting. Then removed the windows and trail fitted the poly carbs.
Removed so more weigh from the front bumper aswell
Been slaving over the clio recently trying to get it near finished as berg has talked me into a track day in a couple of weeks, so desperately trying to get it ready, which ended up with 7 stitches in my left index finger 
Ran into a few little problems meaning I've had to shell out money on things I didn't wanna buy like new inlet manifold and throttle body (plan was to be on ITBs next year) I've had the ports matched and the lengths ported and polished along with the throttle body enlarged and gas flowed tho
I've got a massive list to sort in a couple of weeks, which seems to get longer. The bigger changes will have to wait early next year which means power will wait till summer time I reckon.

Hopefully sooner, but I like to sort the chassis/brakes out first, so once it's stopping and handling perfect I'll up the power
Hopefully I can get the car ready and it be dry lol but I fear one of them will fail to be lol
Thanks mucka
Had my ported and polished inlet and throttle body turn up Friday, along with done PTFE gaskets.
So built the engine bay back up
Cage is all bolted in nicely now (no real pics)
Rear poly carb windows are just about finished aswell
Dropped the driving seat in. Gunna have to adjust the mountings on it will probably get some weld in rails sooner rather than later.
