Re: Namakubi Clio 172 Cup "track project" Will post up more pics

About time I did a write up. I purchased this Clio 172 Cup last month in order to turn it into a track day car. It will be driven to tracks so needs to retains some bare basics. The car already had Ktec ITB and a ECU with a Ktec stealth system mated up to a 182 header. The car was in really...

Re: My 172 Cup (T5MY G) Gaz Coilovers/Ktec mounts & decat! Back in a clio :) Nice one fella. Do you get much vibration through the car body due to the engine mount?

Nice one, great track that!

I think thats what colour they go after a year or so, as they fade and look Grey. I could be wrong..

I already have Recaro Pole Positions that I had in the Audi, just need to find the right subframe for them to fit They do slide, however I may have to have them fixed if they sit to high. Steering wheel is the Sabelt one from Ktec http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=4269&appid=2

Well I started on the car about 6pm and started faffing about, got as far as removing the steering wheel. I broke one of the air bag resistors so need to find a way to attached the resistors too. I might go back into the Man Cave and have another attempt. The car is for the track so totally...

I only did the rear seats, not got to the fronts yet as I have no frame mounts. Im tackling the steering wheel tonight...

Yep they work, jump with joy. My closest Maplins had sld out so had to drive to 5 miles to the next one, took the RS4, so cost me about 8 quid in Fuel, think there official the most expensive resistors....

Ahh mine was Carbon! Just got back from Maplins with the M3R3s, will try them out shortly...fingers crossed

Looking good fella, not normally a fan of those decals, however it really suits your car and the silver colour. Good job. What seat frames are those?

Thanks but iv just ordered some, will see how they go. If they snap you will be the first to know lol

But you have 3.3k right? is there a 3.3 (not 3.3k)? Did you get yours from Maplins? I got mine from fleabay!

Funnily I was going to come down and track the Clio but had to pull out. I see your in SEL. Im in Bromley, with give you a shout next time im heading to Brands.

Very nice, you had the perfect weather for it too. I love Brands Indy.

After another search, think 3.3ohm are needed :cry:

Yep same problem. Rear seat pre-tensioners out, so put 3.9m resistors in and still light is on. Put pre-tensioners back in and lights have gone out. Even having one pre-tensioner plugged in and one with resistor still no joy. I did read on here that 3.3 and/or 3.9 ohm resistors are ok, so not...

Will 150mm bolts be weaker, as they may shear off if being towed?

Nice project mate, love the cage. What length M16 bolts did you use? I have just orders M16 X 50mm...

Was the wiper seized onto the wiper bolt? I tried taking mine of yesterday but no joy, looks like it will be a hacksaw job too! Was the wiper and wiper mechanism heavy?

Could well have been you and could have been on here...old age setting in mate, go easy on me ;)

Yep it appears so and I never knew this. I though it was associated with side air bags. The wires coming out of the pre-tensioners threw me.

Good point about the rear seats if its a 3 door

I did read somewhere on another car forum that a guy had his track car MOT'd as a "track car" and it had fixed seats and it passed...

There are two in the back seat reals. Think its a black an blue wire with a white terminal block. I will take pic when i get home.

If you have done the Ring and a few track days and know you have good track etiquette then get on a Open pit lane event. BTW good project. Interesting about the ARBs being to low...what is the solution as I have just ordered a set.

Happy days. Look forward to reading more

Ahh yes 60mm loop...I have the TSR tow strap. Ref the holes, im sure they have to be plugged to meet regs? Are you using a fire retardant sealant?

I know this now after reading the manual (after removing them) lol Its a track car so no need for them, but agree, you would have to be a idiot to remove them for a normal road car...well learn something new everyday!
