I shall get weights of wheels alone in due time.

I will be ordering one of these shortly for mine. I need to rebuild my box first thou.

Non-speedline version.

Due to my Cup Racer build still under construction I can't comment and quote exact figures yet as I haven't got to that stage where wheel weights alone can be weighed in, however... I can confirm with a standard factory 7.5 road wheel with tyre the weight is 22.05KG and a Cup Racer wheel with...

What do u regards as heavy? I saved 16KG+ over standard road wheels.

Why not some genuine Renault Sport 8J Speedlines? Great weight saving over standard road wheels.

No idea. It will only be for the standard Renault part. Not sure if it's been superseded and replaced. However... there won't be two different versions. If the material has changed it would be a revision and the old part being replaced or altered. So the only version would be the one I posted.

peter. I posted the part number for syncro 3 yesterday: Post no. 73: http://www.clio197.net/forum/showthread.php?32973-TL4-gearbox-no-not-another-broken-one-this-time-(gearbox-stripped-down)&p=559197&highlight=#post559197

Looks nice! It is indeed a genuine Cup Racer cage from a X85 Cup Car, no doubt about. Comes with its individual Renault Sport build number plaque. Matter of course confirmed themselves it is one of their own, despite it not having Matter etched on the drivers gusset plate. This is just a...

YES, thanks for the concern but the bar that was originally cut was removed, replaced with an entire new re-shaped peice and re-welded in place. As I say fitted to MSA standards by MSA Approved fitters, so no problems here. Appreciate the heads up thou.

Painting Entire interior and cage prepped with Abrasive Nylon Web pads to allow primer and paint to adhere finished with tack cloth using Isopropyl Alcohol to complete prior to painting. Etch Primer applied to Roll cage to allow the paint to adhere to the areas where steel was exposed and...

Pics below show cage fully stripped back and installed using custom made plates welded to the floor to MSA standards to allow it to be suitable for racing. All 4 plates I made delicate mock ups out of 3mm card before being fabricated in steel to ensure the correct height & clearance taken as a...

Genuine X85 Cup Racer Chassis purchased for salvaging parts to transfer onto the road version Clio Sport 197 Project race car. The main part to be transferred was the Genuine Renault Sport factory multipoint structural roll cage. Roll cage originally manufactured by Matter and has its Renault...

Just to update: Part Number for Syncro 3rd Gear: 8200 641 529 - £22.20+VAT

Noticed a knocking when purchasing the car. After a quick investigation the aftermarket exhaust was banging up against the Rear diffuser carrier bracket so this came off and was cut and modified to prevent the exhaust from coming into contact with the bracket. The exhaust will be changed over to...

Backbox exhaust mount hangers changed as routine maintenance. Part Number: 8200444058. They looked out of shape and passed their life expectancy:

On to removing the dashboard.... Removing the remainder Foam sound deadening located under drivers & passengers footwell and behind the dashboard which couldn't be reached. Doors panels removed at the same time: Unwanted brackets and bits also cut out the back seat and boot area. +/-...

12KG for just a fraction of what I have removed in total but yes its quite a saving on just the tar insulation. The roof panel was the majority of the weight, circa 6+KG at a guess. Took a while yes (5hr or so) but was crucial to remove prior to primer & painting. Heat and a scrapper being...

​First thing I did was fully strip the car as it wasn't to my standard as an already semi-prepped tracked Clio RS. All Tar insulation panels and patches were removed.

3 months in on the build and the main bulk of the work has been done but still a way to go yet. Waiting remaining parts to arrive from all round Europe at the moment. Few pics to show progress...
