Re: Road/Track 172
Looks like the reverse direction Neil? I thought the Clio had gone tbh as I hadn't heard anything after your sale thread, good news though.
I reckon you could save 25-30kg maybe a little more by going for FG bonnet/boot, cutting out doors and fitting poly windows. The biggest saving in that list is going to be the boot then the bonnet and then the doors depending how choppy you get.
Bought some tools from Renault so won't need your ones now, cheers.

Re: Road/Track 172
I got a shot of Sitech's corner weight scales to set mine up at home , but they could easily set your car up down at there place in Rosyth.
im hoping to get to as many as possible and try some English tracks aswell, that's my mates 106 behind me in the pics. It's over 30bhp less but an even match as its so light.

Re: Road/Track 172
I chipped in on the doors too, wasn't sure if any will be made after this lot so better to be safe.
Your wanting Tony at ACW plastics then mate, the guy seems to take pride in his work, was going to polish up al the edges of any cut for clarity. he'll cut holes etc for pop it vents for free if you buy them. Only thing is the windows aren't thermoformed and they don't so rear screen.

Diet Time
These arrived yesterday
, and should be picking up a carbon bonnet today. Last night I also ordered a full set of windows from Plastic 4 Performance and another set of aero catches. Im going to hold off fitting these until I see if the group buy for FG tailgates goes ahead if not I will get one from HARacing , then all parts can be fitted and painted at once in which colour ????

I have now got my aerocatches fitted to the tailgate and today spent some time trial fitting my FG doors before hopefully painting them tomorrow. I have got the drivers door almost fitting perfect but the passengers side one is twisted slightly so harder to line up. I have to say I was really shocked when I removed the original doors just how heavy they are, hopefully my windows will be here soon from P4P then I can get back out on track.

Re: Road/Track 172
How did you fit the mirrors to the doors, any modifications needed?

Re: Road/Track 172
Had a bit of a set back as P4P now say my windows won't be ready untill the 27th ,so I have cancelled the fronts and re ordered them from ACW this time with sliders which should be here this week. This will allow me to get the car water tight and useable.
Make shift booth
And fitted , they still need a flat back and polish but not too bad overall considering it was my first attempt at a 3 stage paint.

Mum having a bit of a nightmare with the central locking , when I lock the doors with the remote they lock but then the outside handles won't work when unlocking untill the inside ones have been used once.

Re: Road/Track 172
Well after getting the doors and front windows fitted as I was planning on tracking the Clio and my focus at knockhill this weekend I've had to go back offshore :dapprove: So god knows when it will be back on track now.
The good news is buy the time I get home the rest of my lexan windows should be here, and I have also bought a yanoo stiff shift and a megane scenic gear stick . Buy mixing the two of these it should hopefully give me a nice shift and better position aswell closer to the wheel.
What are peoples opinions on light weight batteries ? How much can be saved weight wise and are they a hassle if not for a dedicated trak car.

Re: Road/Track 172
Looks a lot better position!
How's the reach/throw?

Re: Road/Track 172
Nope it hasn't moved from the front of my house in over 2months, I tried to get a space for the last track night but was too late.
I hope to try and get out on the 21st, but ideally could do with either getting my front GAZ rebuilt or some new suspension.

Re: Road/Track 172
I fitted a yahoo stiff shift into it so I think that's meant to give a 10% shorter throw but due to the longer shift it feels very similar to standard. I got the shift out of a mk1 megane for about £10, the shift position just feels so much better than normal but the test will be on track.
