as long as you use thick enough steel in your little bracket then it should be alright, better off welding a bracket to the seat frames!

why dont you buy a real bolt in cage, then just move it to the 172 when you can afford one!! (assuming you want to go down that route on the 172) i dont really think theyre that popular of a mod anymore so few places are supplying them!! ktec used to bt i just checked and theyre not there...

ahh i know ive been saying jonG for ages, but i actually meant Jon_r! sorry!! :( Sorry, no pictures today, but ill take lots tomorrow to show what im working on!! basically....the dash!! me and a friend of mine spent the whole day ripping the dash apart! ive never removed a dash before whilst...

haha good one!! ;)

No worries dude but like I said it would be much easier to just use the cobra slow subframes that are floating about!! Check out JonG's track clio thread, he did a lot better job of it than I did!! Lol Next job for me is to rip all the dash out and clean up behind and sort out behind that...

how annoying!! ill have to try and borrow a code reader as my car is driveway ridden for the next few months at least!! lol

i consulted my little handbook and it says that the STOP light should come on with either handbrake/ABS/Oil/temp...... so why is mine on without any other light on?! :(

theyre not the suspension top mounts! im sure theyll come off with a bit of wd40 and an impact gun!! leave them until they need changing tbh!!

1. Front Pads 2. Front Discs 3. Hacked off PAS pipes 4. No backbox 5. STOP light is on 6. rad isnt secured 7. CV boot gone 8. battery isnt secured down I think thats it. Thank god its an on going track project and wont see the road till the summer ey ;)

i checked there was oil in the car as soon as it came on, and theres plenty!! however i went out today to check that the issue was still there, but the oil light now turns off when the car is started... But the stop light still remains?! any suggestions??

if carlsberg made new users!! :D

i only say that because the OMP sidemounts are not as long as usual side mounts are!! but as you say, being the same brand it should all simply bolt together!! but im looking on the bay now and it seems that they come in the whole range of shapes and sizes!! so tbh, i think youre going to be...

thanks dude!! sorry for the questions at this hour!! would i know if the pump has gone?? ie rattly engine, bang as the chain snaps etc?! because its gone from no light on warm ilde, to light on cold at 3k, which implies somethings gone suddenly rather than a gradual demise!! lol

Is there any figure in the book about when the warning light should be triggered??

the sidemounts will bolt to any side mounted seat fine as theyre a standard disntance, as for mounting them to subframes you may have to drill holes. if you get the same sidemounts as ive just fitted, the bolt holes in the sidemount are offset from each other so once you drill the holes, youll...

if you couldnt get it out with a breaker bar, i doubt youll be able to "screw" it out!! depending on what model you use, you might as well just get a new hub from a scrap yard!! but for the record, if torqued up correctly you can drive on 3 wheel bolts, though its not recomended!

it is a bit long i know, but i dont mind doing it, having other people compliment your project kinda helps a bit with motivation!! lol 28/03/2012 Didnt get much done today tbh, i was being a bit lazy!! Dug my old exhaust out that i was planning to use in the new build but the flange is a...

sorry to dig this up but im having a similar issue so i thought id post rather than make a new thread!! My oil pressure light came on today for no reason and has stayed on. My clio is never driven and run every couple of days just to move it really, last time it drove was in december when it...

is the pedal is limp then it will most likely be the cable, either that or the release bearing may have collapsed but these usually make a lot of noise before they go!!

hmm though i said i was tempted to fit my decat tomorrow, im not starting to reconsider after reading threads about how awkrward it is!! Then engine will be out in the summer time and it will be a breeze to fit then! still need to put a centre box on though as it is stupidly loud atm.

i also paid about £100 including waterpump iirc!! didnt pay any labour though as i changed it myself!! its really easy to do on the 1.2s

always good to have fellow essexers with good projects!! welcome to CS how "race spec" are you going? ie what kind of mods are you going to go for??

lol, prep and prime?! i didnt really bother, just cleaned it all up and wire brushed some of the stuborn dirt!! like i said, i wasnt going for an amazing job, just wanted to make the inside look abit more fresh rather than the stained miss matched coloured stuff!!

haha im trying to work on one thing at a time!! not really touched the doors yet!! Dave heres a few pics of the seat mounts. Looking back now, i would sooner buy the cobra Xlow subframes than do this!! it was a ballache to say the least!! and my harness bar, no idea where its from...

haha sorry dude, i was thinking of your old clio16valver username!! youre missing out on the job you so wanted to do the other day!! rip the dash out!! :D

Re: The Confused Budget Track Clio! good update!! was trying to post on this last night but trying to load the pictures kept making my internet have a b!tch fit!! lol ill have to come and have a look at the cage at some point!!

haha im trying to make her as light as possible mark, but i think holes in the floor are a little be too much!! especially when the rains come!! also i meant thanks to clio_squeak for the help!! got names wrong!! Dave if i see the guy anytime soon ill quiz him as to where he got the bar from...

Ive seen this before! I remember the 'road ahead closed' sign lol epic! It was awkward doing the seats due to the covexity of the floor but ill take a pic of it but it is a messy from grinding the seat rails flush lol. As for the harness bar I dont know where it came from! It was in my mates...

26/03/2011 Been getting bits done on the clio over the last few days, everythings been going rather smoothly!! Seat fitting This was the first job i wanted to do obviously so that the car car was a bit more mobile. I wanted to copy Jon.G's track thread and bolt the seat directly to the floor...

well ill wait till you change it before stealing your idea!! :D quick question, before you took the engine out, how did you secure the rad from flopping about?? im also running aerocatches and no cross member so it kind of just rocks back and forth atm!!
