Cool cheers @Bilb123. I cable tied all the airbag wires up behind dash today along with moving the ecu and it just looks messy. The car will only have 1 more mot before itll become full on trailer queen track car so i can get round the light being on. Cheers 👍🏻

Sorry to revive an old thread, so if remove the airbag wiring and the airbag ecu the car will still run? Or does the uch need a can signal from the airbag ecu to run? I will try it tomorrow but sat here pondering at the moment Light on the dash doesn’t worry me too much

Sorted, car thought it was nighttime because of the sunstrip and putting the headlights on. Turned off auto headlights and it’s all good 👍🏻

So I’ve been messing about with the Clio wiring and it all runs etc I haven’t cut anything out just been tidying it up. Now the climate control screen will come on with the ignition on, and all functions work, but as soon as you crank and start the car the screen goes off and doesn’t come back...

Went off at cadwell by all accounts

Bit of progress today, the EPAS kit I bought turned up 😊 so I immediately got cracking (furloughed life) got the subframe off with the rack I know could’ve probably removed the pipes without taking the subframe all the way off but I really couldn’t be bothered to struggle. Rack blanks and link...

So I’m trying to piece the final part together for my epas setup and getting the controller off eBay. I’ve seen these 2, is there any difference? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/142463350168 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/262195433245

The B14’s will stay for a while as it will be used on the road occasionally and I do like their compliance, although that’s probably changed now it’s Polybushed. Future Plans: Full cage Once I’ve got a tow car/trailer Coilovers will be replaced with a proper setup. Remove rear beam refresh...

and some quick pics of my previous ZR race car I raced for 5 years and boxster I raced for 2 years

And that brings it up to date. Yesterday I’ve removed the dash to trim back the body loom of unneeded plugs. I have also bought an EPAS setup and cup alternator setup and full strip out has begun. I plan to get a full cage fitted even if I only do track days, hate being on track without a cage.

As it was all out I also Polybushed the subframe, black series bushes in the lower arms and purple series rest. I’ve also renewed the engine mounts with added powerflex insert for now although in time I’m sure these will be replaced too. Also taken the opportunity to upgrade to a 182 manifold...

At the beginning of March I took the engine out the old girl to do the belt, fit a clutch and generally tidy up the bay and engine loom as it had been out before and not refitted properly. At this time I decided as it was going to be going on track this year to strip the engine too to check the...

So fast forward 3 months no longer needed as a daily things are going to get interesting. In the time I’d been using it daily I’d fitted a sparco seat on extra low frame and fitted a ktec bolt in cage.

Hi, so I thought I’d document my journey with my 172 into track car/possibly race car. A little bit of background about me this is actually my 4th 172 and 7th clio having had 2x 172 cups 2x172 1x 182 and 2x 1.2’s. Day job I’m a technician for Porsche which is fun to say the least. So back in...

I think I’ve done that in a previous life this is just adding to it 😂😂
