    Project Lightweight, Trackday Clio 172

    Tonight I did one of the biggest modifications I will ever do on this car. Tape up some holes. :smile: To prevent engine fumes etc from entering the interior, I had to block of two holes. In the future I will do some welding on this, but for now I hope this has some function. I have two...

    This morning I took out the inner skin of the boot lid. Saving another 1,485 kg's, making a total of 161,9 kg's. I also took the car out for a sneaky little test drive. The car is far from streetlegal, so I didn't want to bump in to the police. Just went around the block really to see/feel...

    Due to personal circumstances I wasn't able to finish the car in time, nor did I want to attend the trackday on Assen on the 30th of August. Octobre 11th is the next one. Because my car didn't want to start with the other loom, it got me thinking, and I sent EFI parts an email with the...

    I have ordered two of these: Already had two, which came with the auto transporter, but now I have a set of 4.

    That's a really nice looking car, would be a nice upgrade from my 130i. :cool: Anyway, good news, managed to get the car running again. I'm really happy, put my hands up in the air and everything. :tongueout: Looking back, it was not even a big issue. The earth cable coming from the battery...

    I went to the TT-circuit in Assen this weekend to visit the Gamma Racing Days. It is a free event with different types of motorsport, like motorracing, superkarts (these things are crazy, google them if you don't know), Formula Renault, Supercar Challenge and more. Nico Hulkenberg was there as...

    So I received my all intact interior loom. First I put in on the scale of course, and the difference between the 2 looms is 2,216 kg's. But, I installed the new loom, hooked up the battery, and noting, still the same. :rage: I have narrowed down my options now. I have also removed a couple of...

    I made an order at the Renault dealer. And because to change the sump gasket, I need to drain the oil, which needs to be replaced with new oil, along with the filter, the order got a little bigger than just the sump gasket. Good news was, that the oil was not expensive at the dealer. Total...

    Not an update on the Clio this time, but I just got back from vacation, so I thought I would post some pictures of the BMW in some nice places. It covered somewhere around 4000 km's in 2,5 weeks, and it's done a great job. The BMW really comes in it's place on the twisty roads of the Pyrenees...

    Ph1 'Exclusive' Budget Track Car

    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...

    Ph1 'Exclusive' Budget Track Car

    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:

    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:

    Car doesn't start anymore, and it's my own fault

    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...

    Anyone know how to tune this?

    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?

    Project Lightweight, Trackday Clio 172

    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...
