Looks like you can use the std alternator from air con equipped models.
Whats the cup setup usually cost?

 

[chrispy.clio]

I thought you needed another bracket. but maybe not.

I think you can get the Cup package for around £200 tho so its £100 dearer

 

[rich-6]

^^ but you have to agree it looks fooking sexy and has lightweight pulleys too

 

[Mark One]

this is something Ktec had in 'development' iirc. Wonder if that's their ebay account

if you read the auction it says at the bottom they will be releasing a cup version soon.

looks nice. but is it any better than a cup setup or just aesthetically pleasing

Is'nt Colin Satchell involved with 205/309's alot, and Peugeot engines? Pretty sure i remember that name from the 205 circle.

 

[Sandy309]

Yes, Colin and I work together, he specialises in chassis development, fabrication and CNC machining; I do the engines/electronics etc.

Pure Motorsport's aim was to produce a kit that stood on it's own merit basically, it's scratch designed rather than a copy of the RS kit. I haven't personally seen the RS kit, so I've no idea what it's like, but I know how much effort went into getting this one right!

 

[shiftspark]

Looks like quality motorsport components.
I assume the weight saving isn't including all the redundant aircon stuff either?

 

[Sandy309]

I don't know, you'll have to message Nick at Pure Motorsport.

Hello all,
This kit was designed to make it easy to remove the aircon and to save lots of roating mass at the same time. You can use the standard 172 alternator so no need to source a new/used cup one. You don't need any other parts to complete the kit - it has everything you need to fit including cyl head plugs for camshaft locking access.
We have no links with KTec, this kit has been designed and developed independently.
The Cup set up is of course cheaper if you ingnore having to buy a new alternator but it won't save you over 1kg in rotational mass or look this good!! (BTW that 1kg doesn't include the aircon compressor).
The total weight saving of over 16kg does include all of the aircon system.

Looks a class piece of kit! just hope no-one tried to fit the new bottom pulley without locking tools

Kits come with full fitting instructions with very clear warnings at the start!!!

 

[Budgie]

Saw a TB'd GTi-6 engine that Sandy built. My god. Work of art.

I'll try and dig out the pics.

EDIT: View attachment 38891

 

[sideways danny]

Probably be on to you to try one out

 

[marinemackay2003]

v intrested in this looks a good bit of kit

 

[Alec Jones]

When I got my clio I told myself that I wasnt going to do anything to it, but it is bits of kit like this that make me so tempted to start having a play with it!!

 

[marinemackay2003]

Fitted:approve:

 

[Greeny.]

This is now next on my to do list, the seats can wait, always wanted rid of the aircon and this kit looks amazing! Gunna drive to Fred to get it fitted to insure its all done properly as I dont trust any local garages!

FYi the same kit is listed on their site:

[TimR26]

My aircon keeps losing the gas so might get this instead of fixing it.

 

[Carlos Fandango]

Cat amongst the pigeon time.

Like Chris Harris said when testing a GT3 RS - saving 20kg ish on deleting the air con, just learn to drive faster!

 

[franx]

^^ Stripping weight is fun + noticable power and often cheap too mate

(and removing airco is also another belt not running along !)

Yeah it is true that improving your driving will mean you have more fun/be faster on track.

But the way i have seen it is if your stripping stuff out of a clio then do it properly which is why my 182 is 920kg not the lightest clio in the world i know. But i still have to remove the AC pump, PAS, electric windows, get some Polly windows and some lighter wheels then i will be able to get it to 850-860kg

 

[Greeny.]

I hate you chrispy I wanna be that light, got any pics you can send me of the stripage?

 

[chrispy.clio]

I'll have a look

Interiour

Current Doors

Engine

I've got it that light because of taking out practly every little bracket and bits and bobs out that are not needed for the car to function properly.

Still got loads to come out

 

[Greeny.]

I couldnt handle no speakers tbh unless I had another car! No aircon... im jealous I really need to do that, also mate what seats are those?

[Cooksport]

Chris, when is the tip to nurb?

 

[chrispy.clio]

23rd - 28th of July, you going this year?

 

[Cooksport]

I REALLLY want to, i will know later this month

 

[chrispy.clio]

You should come, i think theres about 25 cars going. a few off hear and a load of Shed Motorsport. About 3 182's and a few 197's

 

[Cooksport]

May be keeping my 182 mate, the 197 just isnt quite the same

It didnt sell?!

I thought it went ages ago. Have you still got the ITB's?

 

[172Ben]

If you get the kit that remove PAS, can u still keep the standard rack? Or will you need to change it to a lower spec one?

 

[Tom@JMS]

You can if you go with an electric PAS pump relocated elsewhere. Otherwise you need a dry rack - DCi IIRC correctly, but can't remember 100%

 

[chrispy.clio]

Could you not just fill the rack with grease so it stays lubed?

I havnt had a look at it so dont know if that is actually possiable.

 

[Gray]

If you want to go full manual its the MK2 Clio 1.5 DCI steering rack

 

[Alec Jones]

You can keep the standard 172 rack no problem. At least this is what the guys at pure motorsport have done on their racecar. I spoke to them about this, and they said they have kept the existing rack, and just put a small section of pipe between the two ports to essentially seal the oil in there.

 

[Gray]

Have you ever tried driving a car with a PAS rack and no PAS pump? :dead:
