Re: My Ph1 172 track sl*g Progress Thread
There are quite a few things happening that im not posting about yet, waiting till I have some more progress. You will think ive copyed you on something else aswell
I planned this since i sold the phase 1 dash back in september. Just waited till a dash came up at my mates. yours needs this as the dash lets it down in yours

Awesome mate! Have an idea for my lower dash now before I send it for flocking, kinda like a hybrid of our CF panel bits!
Cant wait to see this again, Haynes here we come:race:

Re: My Ph1 172 track sl*g Progress Thread
Proper update time................
A few days ago my Bro came over to help me with a few things. He's much better with a dremel and has a good imagination. Just what we need.
We rescued the centre vents from the bin and with a piece of carbon set about making a housing for the hazard switch to go into. I was going to put in in the panel where the headlamp adjuster normaly lives but I wanted to fill the gap left by the centre vents.
As I now have no space for the radio in the centre of the dash I decided to relocate it to the glove box. I need it to stop me gong insane on long drives.
I got myself one of those housing like they use on old mini's to bolt the radio under the dash. Needed to trim it down to fit in the glovebox.
Cut the back of the glovebox to allow the radio to stick out the back, making the wiring connecion easier and so it fits nice in the space.
Quite neat I think.
All I need to do before setting off is switch it on and put a cd in, the display and steering coloumn controls still work, so its fine when on the move. Makes me look more hardcore coz it looks like Ive binned it.
The wiring looms dont reach this far. the display one and the ariel are fine so its just power and speakers that needed to be extended. To save me having to cut the loom and extend it I got hold of a short iso loom ad extended this to make it all plug and play.
^ that pic is of my first attempt, before id actually measured how far it needed to go. Thay are much sorter now.
While my bro was over he made me some small brackets form some dash off cuts to secure my panel in better.
Now, a few weeks ago when my mate was over and I started to get the new dash in, he made a start on removing the ABS!!
2 Reasons for this. It was nothing but trouble at Curbourgh back in the summer (As Tony will agree) and I need the space where it sits for my new pas pump.
The pump is off.
and I have bought a bias valve to put in the rear line.
No further rogress has been made with this so far, altho I do have everything I need to make up new brake lines etc. Now, after removing the pump, the ABS light has stayed on. Of course. Now I did think about tracing the loom back and maybe putting a resistor in or something like people do with airbags but it would take me ages. So I decided to strip the clocks apart and deal with the lights themselves.
Got down to the board and as some of you will know the Clio doesnt have bulbs in its dash clocks, like normal, but has surface mounted LED's.
So do we de-solder them, NO, Just break the top off it, Lol.
Had to do the ABS light, Serv Light, Stop light AND brake warning light (more on this in a bit) All these lights stay on coz of the abs fault. While I was there I took out the front fog and airbag (even tho it isnt on anyway) warning lights. This works well as it leaves the other lights working. The other idea we had that would be NON permanent woud be to put a very smal bit of tape over the led so it doesnt show on the dash. Might be a good tip for anyone with an airbag light on after bucket/steering wheel fitting and is a girl so wont cut the loom.
After this I set about marking up my switch panel after a tyring a few layouts made from cardboard.
Trial drilled a scrap bit to make sure it wasnt going to look s**t after id drilled it
Started drilling and fitting the switches. I have a brake warning light on the panel to overcome the problem with the one I had to break on the dash clocks.
Having a surface mounted fuse box for a couple of extra circuits I need to run.
trial fitted it all to see how it looks........
Very good I think :approve:

Re: My Ph1 172 track sl*g Progress Thread
Yesterday I got on with the massive task of sorting all the wiring out. I have to extend stuff, relocate stuff, rewire some of it to work differently etc. Altho it was only 8 or 9 months ago when I did some of the wiring behind the dash, I had no idea what I had done. Multi meter came out to help fathom what I needed.
Radio extension wires were a perfect fit and all working fine.
After several hours of soldering and wiring I was starting to get somewhere.
I needed to run a few wires through to the engine bay for various things. Needed to make or find some loom, so I took the cable off an old trailerboard I had lying around.
Perfect for the job, nicely insulated and the wires are different colours so finding the right ones at the engine bay end is simple.
The earth point is getting busy
The FIA spec cut off switch I have requires some additional wiring as it cuts the feed to the ignition coil not just the main battery cable.
A resistor has to be fitted to one side.
Made up a small panel for the switch. To sit below the dash, where the cup holder would normaly be
Pmsl, Just noticed it looks like a face
There are no screw holes for the clocks to attatch to the dash on the phase 2, so I had to drill them.
With the dash top on they dont line up with the hole properly, ive cut some of the housing and dash to try and get it sitting better but not finished yet.
Fitted another little power outlet in the glovebox for running the tyre compressor or camera off of.
Doesnt leave much room for gloves now :dapprove:
Finished off the dash panel with some stickers to mark the switches.
Nearest the driver side is 'Pump' for the pas pump. Then a cooling fan overide switch and next the heated rear window. 4th one is a spare currently. Push button is for the boot release.
To the right of the hazard switch will be a holder for my pda phone (for sat nav/gps speedo/lap timer) Im looking to upgrade it soon so Ive left it for now as im not sure what in getting yet.
Ive done a bit more on the car, got a new driver seat that im in the process of fitting, but I cant be assed to type anymore today.

absolutely awesome mate, the dash looks brilliant, as said above some skills there
what seats you chosen?
did i hear you say you were getting this dash flocked too??? mine is at a local flockers, keep an eye for the result of that mate.

Re: My Ph1 172 track sl*g Progress Thread
thanks for the coments guys.
Ive got a Cobra Imola for the drivers seat, one of Fringe's old ones. using that retro cobra I have for the passenger seat for now.
I will be flocking this dash at some point but will wait untill the cage has been decided on (a while yet) as it might go through the dash

imola's...good choice, what i looked at before my EVO'S just happened to come up.
no worries on the flocking, obviously you can have a look at mine whenever, as said this is a local place so that is alot easier than posting

hans seats you mean.....i have heard several people say that... they would be perfect in jays car as it is mainly a track *****...however in anything other than just a track car it would be silly as they are stupidly hard for visability

the hans seats are the ones wth hans fitment(carbon shoulder straps over top of shoulders and hooks into the helmet) i just mean the ones with head restraints like the sparco circuits or cobra revolutions. i have the sprcos in my last car, pretty extreme tbh but i loved em!!
