more weight saving

[Gav]

me and dancliovalver spent Friday completly gutting his valver
Started off with:

2 bucket seats
full carpet
full sound proofing
all interior plastic bits [door pillars etc]

now it has:

2 bucket seats
steering wheel :D

didnt manage to get a pic of everything we took oot but, it looks n sounds amazing, went for a cruise in it on the night, and its madness, it sounds stunning!

pure ralley slag!

Get that radio and speakers out they weigh loads lol.

I can't wait to get my buckets and harnasses in the airbag/seatbelt pretensioner control on the centre console looks shit but I have to leave it in with the standard seatbelts.

Get a heat gun and scraper on the sound proofing material, in the boot and footwells. You'd be suprised how much that weighs!! Scrape the majority out then clean up the little bits with a rag and petrol..

Loving it...you know sometimes I wish that i'd bought a valver instead..

[stew]

You gotta love a good slag!
:twisted:
Something weird going on with those harnesses dan! :roll:

Take all the plastic clips out, give it a good clean, and it will be sorted.

And for god sakes take the door speakers out! There is no need for them in a slagged valver. Just keep the dash ones!

[Zollo]

A slagged Clio needs a quick going over with a can of paint to look finished and tidy I reckon. Looks a bit too ropey (for want of a nicer word!) otherwise!

Gaz and the Nana are a shining example (apart from the interior that's found its way back in :roll: :wink: )

im going to have to do this at some point, going to be a right pain but every little helps :roll:

[dalla]

Sorry to hijack the thread. But how have you mounted you buckets? I am about to buy a set, but i would like to keep the tilt funktion of the original seats, for backseat acces. I have some subframes from an Renault 19, i was thinking of modifying them, but does anybody know if it will fit the rails in my Valver? If somebody has some suggestions, i will be very pleased.

[Martin]

good work dan

[Coops]

looking slagtastic mate! lose the doorhandles n all tho mate, u can pull the metal bar instead! :wink: :P
