Look in my thread I recently showed how I re-routed/deleted my heater matrix. Buy a 180degreed bend and it makes it all a lot neater Befor After

A decent roll cage does stiffen up the car a lot. I could feel the difference after having my cage welded in. I think your deffently going donw the best route. ITB's are great but if you think about what you can buy for all that money then it does seem you get more things. Your car does look...

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner WHAT!!! so you mean it's not painted yet!!!!  I know how slow paint prep is, keep it up.

Have you polybushed your wishbones and arb? That will stiffen the car up a bit more.

Re: Project 172k Trophy, & its endless track abuse Good to hear that the removal of the ac gives a noticeable difference. Hopefully I'll feel the difference with the removal of 40kg and ac & pas :)

Great pics and progress. What pads you going to be running in those 4pots

Re: Mk1 F4R/172'd Track Car Project Iirc jord doesn't run any heater/demisters. Just opens the little sliders on the windows

Re: Mk1 F4R/172'd Track Car Project Trailering is the best way! Pic with it on the trailer?

Custom 300mm trumpet are now on order ;) I meant to buy 2 resistors the other day but forgot! I'll have to finish the loom this week, fingers crossed it's spot on

Yeah I saw, have fun with that, I hated doing mine, I was cutting and shutting the standard engine loom and the interior loom. BALL ACHE!!!!

Jenvey and OMEX do a fuel rail for the Clio I think

I didn't know they could have done that. I'll make a template and get it spot on.

Not a great deal to update but I now have my dished backing plate from Reverie. It didn't take as long as they said it would take which was nice. Also finished my brakes and bleed up the system. I couldn't believe that the whole system only holds just over 1/2 a ltr of brake fluid...

Only took about 25mins in the end. Well happy that it's all done now. Only got a few more things to do and the will be ready to drive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have also used drills, hole saw's and angle grinders on carbon fibre and they all cut well and leave a clean cut. As long as you measure twice and cut once then you'll be fine. Ditching the blowers would make the car's inside look much neater. Look into Motorsport blowers/demisters. I'm sure...

Hahahaha

Great price, colour looks great. I look forward to seeing it I the car :)

I got there in the end. I had to pump the peddle about 500 times but eventually got enough pressure. And I found that after a while the last 1/3 of peddle travel was really hard and we used that little bit to blead it. So after 8 months my car now has brakes :)

Right i'm having difficulties getting pressure in the peddle now i have make all the lines! Everything is all tight and the lines all have good flares so i dont think its an issue with the lines! Can anyone think of what i am doing wrong?

Is it a full decat or just one? Looks like a nice 197

Your wrong!! The lower you have it the better it handles!!!! Lol. The ph1 he had and the trophy looked mint!

Re: "Mechanically Inept" Dave.'s TDF'd ITB & Cammed 182 Congratulations mate. 9 months of brawwwwping around then it's breaking time. I'll have some bits off your car if you end up breaking it so just met me know as I can pick them up :)

Deck it deck it deck it!!!! As low as the T was please!!! Looks good so far :)

I love semi cut slicks. Been able to go round a corner much faster is great. That's why I how have full on race slicks for this years trackdays.

I better start working harder then Freddy

What's the price of stuff like Leda or what the closest to the suspension on cup racer cars?

Needs a huge tw@t strip!!! But I quite like it!!

Just for reference my fibre glass/ carbon Fibre bonnet weighs 7kg. My bonnet is a firbre glass shell and a carbon firbre skin. RRP is about £400 and the purly carbon firbre ones are over £1000

Yeah if you could get a pictue of the inside that would be great. I might get one made as I love the look of it.

You know your new fancy alloy bit that goes on top of the engine. was the underside of it just flat or did it have lots of bits milled into it? Also what did you use to seal it when you put it on?
