What to do next..?

Been thinking recently what to do once my project is finished.

Its getting really close, and feel quite confident that the car will make 400bhp peak and still be very driveable.. I want to get a magazine article if possible, but then what????

Shall i keep it, and do more work or sell and get something else to work on?? like a new 200 or maybe build a civic as a 600bhp daily??

All ideas welcome, i do love the way the car feels, but am i just thinking the grass is greener?
 
Personally, id get the feature @ 400, then just enjoy it!

600bhp civic wouldnt be too difficult though!

What about a torque monster VAG derv to keep daily driving comparatively cheaper?
 
I'd keep the Clio for a bit, do a few track days and enjoy it a little. Then move on to something else when you're bored.

Maybe build something RWD or AWD next to change things up a little, looking at your sig you seem to have been pretty FWD focussed.
 
I'd get the article and then just enjoy all your hard work. Get something else to tinker with in your spare time.

maybe build a civic

Funnily enough...... I've got an Civic EM1 coupe with a rebuilt B18C kicking out 235bhp.
Was my daily/project that I had plans for. Sort of lost interest after the engine rebuild and tucked it away at work. Plan is to dismantle and sell the bits but if you want a new project then I could always change my mind.... :smile:
 
Going by the rest of your projects, what about an EP95 Starlet?

1.3 NA 4wd as standard, but identical mounting points to the 1.3 turbo lump... which in turn shares alot with the 1.5 paseo block.... potential for a 1.5 turbo 4wd beast
 
How about a rear engined, 4 wheel drive Clio 200 using an Audi RS4 engine pumping out around 700 ponies?

But let's be totally honest, Audi do make incredible engines that can modified much easier than anything available from a Renault.

and they also have a few issues with the v8 as well but would be nice to keep it all "renault" as such and show them what can be done
 
New clio and pioneer what can be done with it? However, what you'll do about the gearbox i dont know.

Sod the jap thing, you'll just be another civic owner pumping out silly power. You'll get bored, its too easy to achieve.

Audi rs4/6 avant? :smile:
 
Build it and drive it. Should appreciate all the work that's gone into it.

Don't think I could spend on a car until its how I want it, then sell it.

Keep it :smile:
