    Mark's Nimbus 197 T Cup

    So not updated this in a while. I Replaced the steering arms and Track rod ends and had the 4 wheel alignment done. Took it to Chris at Efi to get the map checked and it was badly over fuelling. We can only guess it’s due tome upgrading the fuel pump after having it Mapped. With the Turbo...

    New Turbo arrived on Friday, going to try and get it fitted today. Also picked up a set of speedlines. Where the car is Low now it’s scrubbing quite a bit on the Superleggera’s so hoping to use them on my 5 project.

    Not Updated in a while, not done much with it. Seems to have an issue with the Turbo it smokes on first drive after being left overnight, not on start up but once driving and using boost? so I’ve bought another brand new T15 turbo, thinking of having the wheels refurbished next week as I still...

    Big Bens non Clio

    Massive update Ben, Bonnet looks great! I bet it's insane now. I've just put a CG motorsport clutch plate in mine as the std R26r plate let go, it wore the splines away which is what my chatter in the box as the plate and flywheel are solid. Now no chatter at all.

    So had another disaster! Somehow the clutch plate decided to loose all it's teeth. So looked into it and wanted to get a sprung clutch plate as a solid flywheel and clutch plate isn't a good idea even though that's how they're supplied. So I found this from CG motorsport and I must say, very...

    I'd consider running an engine cover with those Ben. If it does rain may stop water getting into the plug holes. That's what I thought about doing.

    So, got it Mot'd and been using it. It's Great fun! Considering selling at the moment?? Not 100% yet. Have something else I want to build and it may be the only way to do it..

    Thanks, they need a refurb but I am liking it, massive difference with the kw's and the new splitter on the front. Black will just loose the look of the wheel.

    It was kind of what I was thinking. Maybe a little darker, closer to the nimbus?

    Mark's Nimbus 197 T Cup

    Must admit I've almost thrown in the Towel a few times. Getting it together this time has been real hard work but the way it looks now is making me just want to drive it! Got a black sunstrip with silver Renaultsport for it and possibly an R27 roof decal which I have?
