Re: My 172 Cup (T5MY G) 191.2 Bhp & 173.4 Torque
Here's a quick acceleration video I did earlier. Induction noise is louder no the dash is out
[video=youtube_share;eFmNZ576MdM]http://youtu.be/eFmNZ576MdM[/video]
But on the way home it went into limp mode with the eml light on so another f**king problem to sort. Didn't get a chance to get the scales either soo will have to wait till tomorow

Going to get a new throttle body to see if that cures the fault. On a plus side I got a big weight saving
I shed 31.9 kg's by removing full dash setup and front door cards etc.
Car was weighed at bang on 960kg by Northampton Motorsport on intercomp corner weighting scales before the removal of the extra bits. Car now weighs 928.1 kg's
My previous power to weight ratio was 198.96 per tonne
Now it's 205.82 per tonne which is a gain of 6.86 bhp for free fiberglass panels to come next to help get it too the magic 8** number.

Great project
What was the weight saving of the dash and contents alone? This is next on my to do list.
Is your airbag light on, are you keeping it on or you getting it programmed out?

The fault of applying the brakes and it drops RPM? mine idle's at 1100 when cold, but when i put the brake on it drops to 900rpm, Did cleaning help it at all?
What fixes it buying a new Throttle body or checking to see if the vacuum leaks?
Just paid for a throttle body off Chrispy clio

cheers sonny it was about 26kg really good saving!
Yeah airbag light has been on since I did the seats with the per tensioners. The light doesn't bother me but you could take out the bulb or put black tape behind the lens to stop light shining through.
no didnt do anything cleaning it. The idle you have from cold is normal I think. If it was like mine at 2k or above then yes that would be a problem but 200rpm is nothing really that low in the rpm range. Check to see if the vacuum pipes are ok first but I'm pretty sure yours will be nothing to worry about.

Will do it just seamed higher cos it's "lumpy" if that makes sense, not just constant idle it jumps around abit,

26kg is very good! How much did the passenger air bag weight?
I has resisters in to turn to AB light off, however im at the point now where I just want to get rid of the whole system. Spoke to local MOT station and the new MOT law has not come into force yet (AB light on is a fail) as I thought the new MOT change had come in this year.

That looks quite tidy with all of the metal frame removed! From memory when the dash was taken out of my track car, you had all sorts of wires and bits being reflected off the window, it got a bit annoying when driving. Might be worth spraying the metal work black and cover over the wires with black tape or a small cup racer style dash?

Re: My 172 Cup (T5MY G) 191.2 Bhp & 173.4 Torque
Well still having trouble after fitting the tb. It now wont even register the throttle pedal ;( it also dosent register any revs on the speedo. when turning it over now its a b**ch to start. getting soooo fed up with it atm. Ordered an upstream lamba sensor and pedal from kat @ renparts. Really helpful and great price also ordered a febi crank sensor and will be pulling all of the fuses/relays out to check/clean. All will be tried this weekend and hopefully will get it running properly again!!!

Hope you sort out the running problems.
With the weather getting better your going to have to do something top-dash wise to cope with glare.

Lol it's tempting
Thanks mate I hope so too lol. Just hope to f**k its not the loom/ecu/uch box. I'll see how I get on with the top dash. I never had problems with the Saxo but if I do in the clio I'll just spray that part matt black

I've not checked to be honest mate. Weirdly there was 3 wires where it looked like someone had wired something in but they looped it around the dash plastic. for me to remove the dash I had to snip the wire then reattach it. But when I reattached it, it drove fine for about 20 miles before throwing it into limp mode on the way home.

Just read the entire thread mate, looking great! I'm trying to save weight wherever I can, but still got the dash in at the moment. I've heard horror stories about cutting the loom (Like Ben) so I'm really not going to even bother.
Have you removed the alarm system?

I didn't mate no ill get a code reader off a mate tomorow and see if it helps. It's really temperamental. When you turn the key sometimes it cranks over sometimes it does nothing then after about 10 or so goes it randomly starts but sticks at 2k. Really weird.

Are you sure it's not a bad earth or damaged loom when you removed the dash? It doesn't take much for a snagged wire to cause a fault code.
