Cleaning Stripped interior and cutting down wiring loom?

[ventura]

Hi Guys

Have stripped my car for next season and will be adding full cage etc. The interior is quite grubby in parts and needs a good clean and prep. Also half of the electric bits in the car are no longer needed so would be good to cut down the wiring looms in the car.

Anyone know a good place to get this done? I am based near Hertford and use Mark Fish for most things.

Regards

Rob

Having done a similar thing to my old Clio, the best advice I can give is this....

Stay the f**k away from the loom unless you are 10000000% sure you know what you're doing.

Dan has already said it and if you don't get it right then the results can terminal for the loom! Mark Fish has done lots of work with clio's so he should be able to do it. The only person I know of that can definitely do it is Matt at TDF/Track Group and they are based in Kimbolton so not a million miles from you! There is nothing he doesn't know about the clios and is just finishing off building my 182 racecar

Interesting. What you having done?

Basically taken a standard 182 road car and done everything required to turn it into a bluebook compliant racecar. Full details will be on the forum soon as Matt is just writing up the build diary for it and will be posting it up here and that goes into all the detail of spec What series are you going to enter?

Either the trackday team trophy or the tin top series that Burpspeed are in.

How much you spent so far?

Sounds really good to me I'm also thinking to do CSCC tintops next year as long as I can get enough time in the car between now and then! You don't even want to know

i cut down my own loom in my mk1! will be doing it again to my mk2 track car. its stressful stuff, but nothing overly complicated!

all i did was made sure everything worked whilst unplugged then slowly and carefully worked back through the loom to the fuse box, the only thing that becomes an issue is shared earths!!

you can do it yourself, but my one piece of advice would be this

DO NOT RUSH!! i took my time and fell for the not linking shared earths back up!! scared myself to death until i figured out what i had done tbh, thought it would be new loom time!!

 

[Struggler]

it was quite unnerving at this point!

Think ill pass on the loom then!!
