Few Pics after a Wash.. (Pic Heavy)

[Luke.]

Owned my cup a year now, quite alot has changed since I got it but ill let the pics to the talking.

Before

As she stands now..

Dash out is only temporary, but will be minimalising and refitting. Need to make some door cards, then itll be a little something special and a full cage very soon. Passenger seat is out because I sold it as I have done the same with the drivers seat but I need to make a few minor modifications so I can fit its replacement.

C&C Welcome

Luke

Looks nice mate, especially changing the exhaust ! I cant stand seeing them hanging down and making it look a right shambles but also the turinis are they 16's ?

 

[Luke.]

Yeh the exhaust came on the car, was hideous. Changed it for standard, then made a custom backbox for it and sounds lovely now and its stealth. Yeh the turinis are 16"

I don't think your harness is safe wrapped around the rear strut brace.... get it properly mounted or you'll be sorry if things go t!ts up

 

[Luke.]

If I manage to break the welds on my 'welded in harness bar' rather then snap my fibreglass seat, I'll be sure to address the issue with the person who fitted it for me. Thanks..

 

[leeds_182]

I prefered it on the silver turinis TBH.

 

[Luke.]

I was in two minds with wheel choice, actually 3 but as my they were corroded to hell and tyres were losing air I decided to go for a change.

It looks good mind mate. When are you changing the door cards then?

 

[Bakedbean100]

Lools lovely, i like the dark turinis i have an arctic 182 so its something i was thinking of fitting!

 

[Addicted]

Looks lovely, though sits a little high at the front for my liking

 

[leeds_182]

Don't you feel a bit silly going to get a pint of milk in it?

 

[Luke.]

Very soon, might have a bash at it this weekend. Got all the materials to make them so won't be long.

Yeh same for me but Apex offers the best drop until I get ASTs

Don't you feel a bit silly going to get a pint of milk in it?

not really no, can't say I ever really just pop up the shop in it, unless I go for a drive. Which then I realise why I stripped it all out in the first place.

 

[Ash87]

carbon door cards? need to spray the interior too

 

[Luke.]

Hell no, not carbon

Yes I gotta order my cage then ill spray the interior..

 

[JackoR26]

Your car description is spot on lol

 

[Luke.]

Ha, thanks. This is preparation to become my track car so there is a motive behind it, I'm not doing it to keep it on the road. But it is my daily at the moment...

 

[S.r.l]

Epicness!! has changed a hell of alot again in the last month

 

[DB.]

Nice, don't know how you put up with driving a stripped out car though!

 

[Luke.]

Tbh mate, with things like that its each to their own. Most of the time I love it as stripped out is what I intended it to be, I will be running a dash though as I need to maintain a level of practicality. Yes I get annoyed at it sometimes but it's a track car in the long run and it's certainly fun on the road.

It has changed a lot again in the last month or two. I will be putting up a progress thread very soon, with some major changes happening. Cooksport are involved a lot with this car also and we have some good plans..

Watch this space..

[Clio172T]

Is it loud inside?

 

[Luke.]

Not really that loud tbh.. It's fine. But what do you expect from a stripped out track car.. The exhaust is only just over 90dbs anyway.

 

[lilocky]

Nice mate think i seen this up cooksport the other day

 

[Luke.]

Thanks.. You probably did mate.. It's off the road now for the winter, going to strip it down and engine is coming out, ready for some special treatment. Ill do a progress thread soon..

 

[Rich_172]

Awesome mate love that

 

[Si]

I like it. Enjoy the wheels while they're mint!

Glad you havent given in to the "z0mg it's my track car, must have a full roll cage" trend.

 

[Luke.]

Thanks for the comments.. Believe it or not I marked one of the wheels the other week, was gutted. But going to ship two of them back up there and get them redone..

Not long after the photos on the first page I put the dash back in and the week after that I purchased a rollcage and fitted it about a month after that.. Then I ripped the heating system out.. So it's basically a race car now..


But it's so much stiffer now with the cage fitted.. I got it fairly cheap and it's made the world of difference..


Keep an eye out for a thread, I'm looking forward to the changes..

 

[Leeshez]

Hey up some one has robbed your interior lol.

 

[darkbluesheep]

Luke, love the racing cup, do you get much handling benefit from the 5mm spacers on the rear? Im thinking of sticking some on my Cup, mainly to fill in the arch gap a little more but would be an added bonus if the handling improves as well... Tried any spacers on the front at all? Cheers

this a track car or..?

Ha, I sometimes think its crazy, but now I have a daily it's okay..

hello mate, thanks, can't say I specifically tested them back to back, but it definatly doesn't make the handling worse.. I done it purely for looks as it surprisingly makes the world of difference with 5mm on the rear. I will be doing the front at some point aswell.. But yeh highly recommended, but you ideally need a stud conversion..

this a track car or..?

Yeh indeed but it's a big ass chunk and it'll still be on the road in the summer

[Hixle]

Looks proper purposeful mate.

I quite fancy a cup at some point!

 

[Luke.]

It needs ripping apart that's why ha..

thanks mate, it's even more purposeful now, cups are awesome.. I had a 182 and the 172 cup is so much better considering.. Definatly get one..

 

[alexr19]

That looks fantastic.

 

[Tony Hunter]

So this is the little beasty you were telling me about at Brands.

 

[Luke.]

Yep mate this is the one..
