My sub 800kg caged valver

[Beaniemoo]

Well results are in and they're not bad in my opinion, so to recap this is what it's taken to get where we ended

First off we added

Full weld in 6 point cage with harness bar
Floor bars to safely mount side mounted seats

Then the rest is...

Year 2000 Clio 172 (F4r) engine conversion
Carbon Bonnet
Carbon roof
GRP Doors
GRP Tailgate
Carbon tailgate spoiler
Carbon door and quarter cards
Carbon door interior handles
Carbon scuttle panel
Polycarb windows with sliders
Carbon air filter
Kevlar Cobra sazuka s buckets
Alloy Cobra side mounts
4 Point 3" Fia harnesses
Lightweight redtop 20 battery
Shortened dashboard
Lightweight pro race 1.2 wheels
Willwood Brakes
All looms trimed back to basics
No rear wiper
No form of central locking
No Radio or speakers
No Aux tank and phase 2 tank conversion
No carpets or trims
No sound deadening or unused brackets
No spare wheel or cage etc
No tailgate catch, (pinned shut)

All this came in at a final weight of..... 794kg!!

if this is the white one, then it rocks. you have done a great job, i spent the best part of 3 hours reading your project thread. let me know if you decide to sell it

[Tullyvernon]

well done, whats the power 2 weight ratio of it?

[stan]

Good effort.

What was the weight of the doors again?

[bill.]

absolute beast, bet it will do some damage at a track day! :twisted:

[Chris n`nic]

Very nice m8...std engine would be about 220bhp per ton....get a 182 manifold, decent induction and an rsport ecu it would really shift...or even Tb`s!

Spot on

Cheers fella's, it is indeed the white valver and thanks very much for taking the time to read it hope it wasn't too boring lol.

Really don't know the weight of the doors but they were such a total nightmare to fit and cost a fortune get in touch before you take that idea any further.

The engine has a lightened flywheel, matched polished inlets, and a pretty much straight through exhaust but unfortunately a 182 manifold just doesn't fit through the valver tunnel :cry:

Hope to get it to santa pod on the 21st if any of you are there.
