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...

Today I made myself some headlight and taillight blanks out of the original lights. Original weights: New weights: So I saved another 3,464 kg's. I also took out the airco condensor and pipelines, which saved a total of 3,885 kg's The vaporizer is still in place, I will take a look...

Finished the brake ducts: Looks quite effective to me, but only time will tell I suppose. Didn't get a chance to weigh all the added weight properly, but the tube with what's left of the fog light surrounding is around 300 gram's each, and the PVC elbows are around 200 gram's in...

I made some progress today. I had a thought on how I could make some effective cooling, without a closed system. I don't really like the deflector plates, because they stand 90 degrees in the direction of the airflow, and I wanted something that directed the air a little bit more. To get the...

Allright, so this is my first post on this forum. I came to this forum because I recently bought my second Clio 172, solely for the track. Since this forum is very much track orientated, I can find a lot of usefull info on here, so thanks for that to you all. My name is Stefan, I am 34 years...
