Hi Guys. Probably a long shot but... anybody know what this connect to? [emoji54]kinda have noooo idea... Clio 172 non cup interior loom if it makes a difference

yeah got IfL Mig 170. got delivered 14th of August ;) i have Tig here as well. its my mates, he is welding his manifold for Scooby in alloy. never tried it. looks complicated ;) might give it a try actually.

Thanks mate :) watched enough YouTube videos on welding ha ha. Yes using argon mix 5% CO2.

lol I love it! Was just talking about it to my mate haha. Buying a Mig was best investment ever! Done a tiny bit of stick welding before but MIG is just Awsome! Only had it for a few weeks so lots to learn!

SEPTEMBER 2017 This weekend has been quite productive. First thing I did was weld in new seat rails. This are 25mm CDS tubes with M8 captive nut brackets by Motamec. Fairly easy job but time consuming. Second on my to do list was to relocate PMS shifter closer to the driver...

I don't even like cats :) kinda a dog man myself ha ha..

Yeah you not wrong about the weight! Trying to make it as light as possible! So you think this bars are overkill and unnecessary? Nice tip regarding the loom! Cheers. Will think about it. Might be easier this way.

Yeah that's the problem, I would like it on the main hoop but it's too close to bPilar to weld around it. I am not thinking just for safety, it's already safe enough the cage bit also for rigidity of the chassis. This will link rear struts to Center of the car.

I really don't think I can get my mig through there. This is as close as it can be

Yay or nay? Used some pvc piping as template, I think in this position I can weld all around nice and clean.

It's a 6 point custom cages one. With few extra bits like double crow at rear, harness bar, a pilar gussets, b pilar gassests. Door cross and gussets and one bar at front and one in question in the Center.

Ahh no no mate don't worry your weren't condescending at all :) thanks for your advice! But last thing I wanna do is drop the cage down just for this 2 extra pipes... will take your advice. Need to measure few more times and see how close I can get it to body and actually weld around!

Yeah I realised that. That's why was asking.. how can it be welded on the side close to the bPilar? There is literally few inches of space there. Surely with it welded to horizontal bar the cage will be stronger if not welded at all due to tight space.?

This bit And those are rubber crocks I think haha. Like slippers but rubber. And that's not me by the way. My kiwi friend. You lucky he is wearing anything at all on his feet! What is it with kiwis and walking bare foot everywhere!?

Yeah don't think I am gonna do that. Won't be able to reach around the tube for welding. Unless I drop the cage through the floor, but than I should have gone for multipoint cage in T45 rather than 6point in CDS... this should be absolutely fine! Actually I do I have a question, I wanna add one...

Yeah I read about it and decided against removing it.. for 500g or so it isn't worth it! At least the other ones are gonna be replaced with CDS tubes so structural integrity not compromised.

Made a start on the interior loom. Thought I would practice on the rear one first. So far so good. :) but to be fair it's nothing compared to the main one. Just need to wrap it properly before fitting. Also removed old seat frames. Should be able to weld new rails over the weekend! Fairly easy...

Over the bank holiday weekend didnt have a chance to do much. But some progress had been made. Fitted PMS shifter. Also welded some brackets and trial fitted the MK1 dash. Quite pleased with how it looks. Test fitted the seat, and lowered the steering column in to position. And asked a...

Ordered last one of facebook! Thank you mate! Much appreciated. 800g it weights lol.

Really? Hmmm need to give them a call.. thanks!

Hi guys. Quick question, is the Cup spoiler made of plastic or metal same as non cup version? The damn thing weights a ton! Actually same as my new fibreglass boot lol. Really don't wanna put it back. Cheers.

So what do people do than? Give up and use as is? Or modify f**k up, buy replacement and use as is lol... seems like there are no solutions. Either spend thousands or shut up and leave as is/modify yourself...

What would a basic one cost? And who can do it?

Wow! That is a lot of dough for a loom :( almost makes me think why even bother??? The main idea was for weight saving... but for £3k I can just drop a turbo on it and forge about extra 5kg loom gives me ha ha.

For £1200 I'll rewire the bloody thing myself lol. Twice! First time to fuckitup and second time learn from mistakes and do it proper! Ha ha

From CCF-fibreglass Google them. Great quality and nice fitment . But you do have to drill/cut all your own holes. Also for the doors you need to reuse original fixings that actually welded to doors. So they will be trash afterwards..

Weight saving :) And looks better with out. Especially since I will be painting complete interior.

Well I can still do that. Bought Gen90 second hand. Was a bit of an impulse buy lol. But I did look at Omex Ecu with loom and dash etc. Is that what you talking about?

Trial fitted one of the doors. And removed most of the sealant. Damn that was one messy job! Used a zip wheel. Worked really well.
