Stripped

[clowo16v]

Not got round to cutting anything out yet as the weathers been shite so I cant do the bodywork. I've taken some pics of everything unbolted though. I'll have to leave the dash in until I fit the throttle bodies as when I do i'm gonna rewire the car to get rid of the massive standard loom.

The seats are staying for the time been but i'm gonna fit a single bucket seat for racing.

Its not too bad lol I don't really care though. Should be a lot louder once i've got my new exhaust on. Rattles more now though with everything out, the windows rattle loads in the doors which I didn't notice before.

The horn bracket is attached to the charcoal canister bracket, just remove them both and the horn should bolt up where the bracket attached to

[Martin]

impressive....how much lighter is the 1.4 over the f7r i wonder?

[Coops]

ash mate, can u post a cupla pics of ur car mate? i have no idea what it looks like, and tbh i have no need to know what it looks like but its one of them things that i need to know! good to put a car to the name! :lol:

[clowo16v]

If its a GTT engine I doubt it'll be much lighter at all once the weight of the extra bits for the turbo are added on. Hoping to get mine <800kg by the end of the year if I can.

See ya

Matt

[ash clio gtt]
