more sound deadening removed today, only got the 3 patches on exterior panels left now, ie on the inside of the rear arches and the big gert lush piece on the roof....fun times
i also got a bit impatient and started pulling / cutting out the brown sound deadening from behind the dash....this soon led to me cutting a nice sized gash in my thumb on my clutch pedal...after almost passing out, puking up and then lieing down for 15 mins i went back to the car....

i have been having alot of thoughts about the car this week, the whole plan with it now is to get it as lightweight as possible, one major factor here is unsprung weight...so...
i have 2 sets of alloy wheels, i was initially thinking of selling both of these and then buying something very leightweight, like oz's or something but after thinking this week i am unsure...the image wheels are alot of moneys worth, look sweet as and are very strong / lightweight already, so i think i have a plan

the CMYK wolfrace will soon be up for sell, probably with tyres also, i will have little use for them...(offers via pm)

so to the Images, currently these are 8" front and 9" rear and they currently run stretched tyres to fit nicely under the arch, so if i plan to run sensible tyres on the car for better abuse i will have to do some form of work to get them to sit in the arches, i have a few options....

sell images aswell and buy some other lightweight 15's
rebuild the rear 9" images into 8"ers and probably have to do archwork
keep all wheels as is and see if i can do archwork and keep the standard looking shape
look at some other form of archwork...
or go for some over fenders...


all thoughts welcome, i understand this may sound a bit crazy to you turini loving bar stewards but this isn't all about looks anymore

To remove all the brown stuff you need to unbolt the heater box. The heater pipes can stay connected but you need to unbolt it from under the scuttle panel and pull it back. The brown stuff has a trim panel around the heater box.

hile you have the scuttle off there are a few big patches of tar under there. Now is the time to remove the a/c evaporator and convert to a non Ac/recirc blower. That saves a fair chunk of weight to.

Re: No Compromise ph1 ITB build (Fastcar, BTM, TDF, RS Fab) - ITB update p77

cheers jay.. i will keep an eye for that
the dash is coming out anyways to remove as much as possible i just got impatient and learnt my lesson...lol

its already on a non- recirc / ac blower....

Sad Times

Why??

 

[Saner]

Re: No Compromise ph1 ITB build (Fastcar, BTM, TDF, RS Fab) - ITB update p77

Why??

Because I wanted it at some point, lol. If you now have it you'll either keep it forever or sell it to a non cser!

Neil, can you save weight with the cage? I know its a risky area but is there one out there just as good but lighter?

You can rip the majority our by leaving the blower in but there will be about 1kg trapped behind the heater

mine doesn't have gussets, double door bars etc and i will not be putting these in as i don't see the point for what i will be using it for... i don't think the cage is really that heavy, not sure there is that much difference in weights between cages is there?

it will have to come out then...lol, cheers for the knowledge

Alternatively you can remove the blower, pull the material out and then reseal with a handcut gasket / silicon and a few self tappers.

If you get one made from T45 then yes there is.

Liking how this is progressing.

slight cost difference though??

all sounds good Wurz, get this bbq sorted so we can come and have a poke

 

[Nafoff]

Re: No Compromise ph1 ITB build (Fastcar, BTM, TDF, RS Fab) - ITB update p77

so this is possibly the plan.... i knew ryan from regal was doing this so i have been talking with him about the work going into it...

as written above this isn't to just be different but its more function over form...this will enable me to keep the Image billet 95's and run sensible tyres

 

[adam172]

Re: No Compromise ph1 ITB build (Fastcar, BTM, TDF, RS Fab) - ITB update p77

will look imense if it turns out anything like that golf but not sure what they would look like on a clio ?? i cant wait to see how this turns out!

 

[Nafoff]

Re: No Compromise ph1 ITB build (Fastcar, BTM, TDF, RS Fab) - ITB update p77

indeed we shalt see, i need to get the Image's proper tyred up and on to see what i am playing with really

 

[oliver.james]

Re: No Compromise ph1 ITB build (Fastcar, BTM, TDF, RS Fab) - ITB update p77

as written above this isn't to just be different but its more function over form...

Can appreciate that, however, your car looks hardcore on the black image's...those arches would further add to that imo!!

Would really work I think!

Hmm, wide arched? seems like a familiar plan

[bomber]

Re: No Compromise ph1 ITB build (Fastcar, BTM, TDF, RS Fab) - ITB update p77

nice idea, could make or break it though. however, i suspect with the images it will be made

[Nafoff]

Re: No Compromise ph1 ITB build (Fastcar, BTM, TDF, RS Fab) - ITB update p77

possibly just sorted proper tyres for the image wheels... i am talking, no stretch and fastroad / track orientated....

i better get some overfenders on order, get some original suspension back on and also sale the wolfrace

 

[Silent_Scone]

Re: No Compromise ph1 ITB build (Fastcar, BTM, TDF, RS Fab) - ITB update p77
