sweet, looks good mate, love your car!

Thanks,

I did do a calculation but forgot the figures! [I weighed all the seats and aircon etc... have a look on my website for figures] but have also not weighed some stuff removed ... I have removed quite alot.

The only things that havent been removed are some of the wiring loom, front carpet [im gay I know] the dash and heater [need them].

I'll have to get it at VOSA station for the big weigh in I will then get a RR done so I can get an accurate power to weight ratio worked out.

Its now a rocket!


.... Oh and thanks for the comments guys

It might not last long though as it is very low to the ground

looks quite high if you ask me

;-)

I should of done this, since i have been waiting for my splitter from bitsrus for about 5 months now

 

[christurbo]

^^^^ Its the SUV look ^^^^

You should have mate - fixing a broken splitter is dead easy as long as the cracks/splits are clean.

mines snapped into about 4 pieces...

can that be fixed, i got them all, i went back and found the rabbits and the splitter was next to em..

 

[Steve]

Like I said as long as the pieces fit together like a jigsaw - nice and neatly. Quite an easy job... just make sure you score the surface where the fibreglass gets bonded to.

Cheers Steve

What about that plastic repair stuff, need to do some bike panels, assume you filled and painted it.?

 

[richlawson]

cool blog.

glad to see yoz got the stack dash in one peice!

 

[Leeshez]

Hey thats not bad

 

[alexbleubolt]

they are easy enough to repair but watch for curbs and stuff, cos the fibreglass will come loose as it can't bond to the plastic properly. if u want to fix it good, you should just selt tap some screws through the back with some metal / pastic as a splint then just grind the screws down that will be sticking out the front then pait the whole thing black again. stronger and will last longer than fibreglass.

edit - the hardest part will be makign it the correct shape - if its broken in 3/4 pieces

 

[christurbo]

Cheers

TBH... Im not too bothered about it looking too neat - its just a bonus its turned out like that.

FMP - that stack dash is sexy

Do you have arch liners? How have you stopped the scrubbin?

 

[fmp_]

the stack is a nice bit of kit, shame i never fitted it, but should go a treat in his car!

good work with the splitter too, i need to glue mine back together!

 

[christurbo]

Do you have arch liners? How have you stopped the scrubbin?

I have taken out the liners however not due to scrubbage - but to aid brake cooling.

I have ultra low profile tyres 195/40/R16's which have a plus side of not scrubbing.

good work with the splitter too, i need to glue mine back together!

I think its a common side affect of having a low car with splitters! The 172 looks ridiculously low with the splitter on - good job I dont drive it around day to day! lol

I drove it to Ikea today [missus wanted some things] to charge the battery - I love this little car!

 

[Renault_Boy01]

Nice job !!!! Bargain !!!

Love the look of your clio

 

[Rob's172]

sorry i dont know much!

Just drive up a curb if you need some space just a few holes need drilling under the bumper them a few self threading nuts to hold it on.

 

[Rob's172]

thanks, sounds like even i can do that!

looks so good ts will be hard not to

 

[christurbo]

Its really easy to do.

I put it on axle stands to create enough space for the drill. [my 172 is quite low though]
