im matt 23, from the midlands!!!

anyway onnto my project ive been building for the past year!!

its a 1.8 20v turbo powered renault clio!! ( its french i hear you say lol!!)

here is a brief spec to put you in the frame!!

ENGINE
1.8 20VT overbored to 1.9 cc
JE forged pistons
JE forged rods
JE forged crank
Jabba inlet manifold
Jabba exhust manifold
Garrett gt35/82 Rollerbearing turbo
SARD 700cc injectors
