Thanks for your reply. I asked because the contact area between the belt and the waterpump is not that much, and PMS sell the PAS delete kit, I though there must be a reason why they sell the PAS delete kit instead of just a shorter belt. But if you have no issues with slip, I like this setup...

Do you have any issues with the alternator belt mounted like this? No slipping belt? No overtensioning to prevent this? Very nice car btw, I do plan on keeping mine a bit more budget than you though.:smile:

Thanks. :up:

Cleaning up the list. -Buy two more straps, to strap the car on the trailer, as I only have a pair for the front wheels -Change the brake fluid -FIX THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM!!! -Tidy up the interior loom -Make a bracket for the instrument panel -Change the sump gasket -Change the engine oil...

I got the front tow strap fitted. It was more of a project than I wanted to, but it needed to be done. If I just bolted it on to the existing thread, the strap would come out to low, and the horizantol piece of the bumper would be in the way. So I had to make some modifications. First I cut of...

This morning I cleaned the interior. It was really dirty, out came a lot of brown/black buckets of water. And I put the seats back in. Now that the carpets out, it became really visiblehow high the standard seats are. I still have the electrical problem. I sent the ECU to Chris at EFI...

I've removed all of the rear end wiring apart from the fuel and 3rd brake light. I've kept de earths of them as well ofcourse. Then I basically worked my way forward, taking out the airbag unit and cables, most of what's behind the dash, emptying the doors etc. I also think it's an earth...

I had some time today, so I got to fit the hood pins on the bootlid, and the tow strap on the rear. I can take that ones off the list. :smile:

Allright, so I attacked the interior loom to save some more weight, and got a little bit carried away with it. At some point I forgot to check if the engine wil start after every cut, and you know it by know, at some point the immobiliser light wouldn't stop flashing. I should have stopped at...

Today I removed all the tar, bar the small piece in the C-pillar that is not reachable. I managed to do the drivers side, which has an extra hole to get to the tar, and decided that it would be virtually impossible to get to the other piece. The small piece on the drivers side was only around...

Yes offcourse there is, but haven't your read anything of the above? How much do you think it will cost if you change the engine etc? And how much will it cost to sell your 1.2, and buy a 172 back?

Today I made a start on removing all the tar. There is a lot to be gained here. The big peace on the roof alone weigh's in at 2,8 kg's. Total weight saving untill now: 120,8 kg's. This keeps getting better and better. With the tar I'm a little bit past halfway, but the heat is quite...

That would be very much appreciated. Any other diagrams are also more than welcome.

What a beast of a car, a 400 hp Clio, that must be insanely fast. :anguished:

So this morning I took out the seats and got a little richer. Then I took out the carpet etc, and got even richer. This is heading in the right direction. :tongueout: After some more stripping, the interior looked like this. And the pile of crap next to the car looked like this...

I received another picture from the seller

Anyone?

Picking up an old thread, but better than to start a new one on an old subject I suppose. Do any of you think this bracket will fit with this alternator? The add says it is for a Volvo 460/440/480. The bolt pattern seems to look the same.

Found it already, the color it Titanium Silver, and the color code is MV647.

I bought an AX wiper the other day, but I don't really see how to mount it yet. Looks like it is going to be custom all the way, so I guess that will be put on hold for a while, untill I have figured out how to do it properly. I did find out that the Clio motor fits on the AX bracket, and that...

I will get to that eventually, but not on short notice. I will probably do the seats together with the cage, and I will also take out obsolete brackets at that time, so I only have to paint the interior once. For the short term, the carpet can still go out, all the tar can still be removed...

Today I cracked on with removing the vaporizer unit. This wasn't as easy as the metal lump under the engine mount. I literally was luying upside down inside the car to remove two bolts and I had to unbolt the upper inlet manifold. I used part of the AC delete kit guide from Pure Motorsport...

Tonight in the gym I got thinking, how hard could it be to remove the metal lump at the engine mount. I got the itch, and got at it when I got back from my workout. Turned out is was only 20 minutes from start to finish. :smile: Here's how I did it: First I put two jacks under neath the...

Thanks, and I new about the metal lump under the engine mount, just haven't got to it yet. Any other pointers are more than welcome offcourse. I have a set a Sparco seats waiting on my parents attic, but I think I will mount them simultaniously with the cage. Without the cage I do not see a...

For me it's okay, but I only use it as a daily, and where I live, the roads are very good. I think you need to drive one, and make your own judgement. The most bad reviews I have read are from the UK, so I think that the roads over there have something to do with it. With the M-sport suspension...

Yeah, but you also drive on the wrong side of the road, you measure in stones and pounds instead of kg's, and you measure with inches and yards instead of metres, so it's not your fault really. :mask::smiley:

There is a comma, which means 3,885 kg's, as in 3885 grams. :smile:

I also did a little clean up in the corner while I had the room. From this: To this: And I gave the engine cover logo a little sanding. Came out really nice, because it was almost the same as the rest of the intake manifold. Today I fitted the winch I bought a couple of days ago, for...
