Fred, excellent stuffs, similar way of thinking! the sun strip is home made or you bought it somewhere, pls?
Also the carbon wrapping on the interior plastics, you did it or better to ask who is working with it?

Thanks and yeah looks like it! The sunstrip I got from eBay but the links doesn't work anymore. But on http://stickauto.fr/fr/14-renault there you can find them in all kind of versions ;-).

The Carbon wrapping I did myself, the smal strip passenger side and steering wheel piece where quite simple. The centre console is a real pain in the ass! About 3-4 hours with my dad :glare:. So its can be done but it definitely not perfect, I first asked price for let it do professionally but I thought it was to expensive

Last week I removed the isofixbar and today I removed the rear seatbelts (not an easy job!). In total now -28kg off "unnecessary parts" in the attic :lol:. But probably will be compensated in the future:giggle:.

Today I also fitted a part off the 4-point harness but still need 2 parts for fitting on the outside.

Brake cooling fitted

Last sunday I managed too fix my brake cooling, the cooling part was easy but the replacement of the fluid washer box wasn't so easy as expected. Because off the MOT in Belgium it's required too have a wash fluid for the front windscreen. Found a smaller box that fits and works with the brake cooling tubes.









And a new little detail



Next: Cage!

I like the brake ducting. Was thinking about this myself.

 

[Flacsi]

Fred, what a simple and great solution for brake cooling! I will do on mine during the week-end -as discussed on whatsapp!

Would it wise and to maximise/stop wasted airflow passing by the back face of the wheel and not hitting the disc at all. Fit a deflector plate so as to divert the air inwards at the centre of the wheel towards the back face of the disc?

That's maybe an good idea, I'll have a look :d

Or get ducts that blow directly onto the calipers, they normally fit straight onto the pipe / hose. A cool Touring Car trick!

That won't work I'm afraid, when the wheel is turned it "blocks" the pipe. So there isn't any more room

Next weekend:giggle:!

I'll measure it this week ;-)

Last Saturday the cage was welded and Monday I did my first laps on the Nurburgring anic:! It feels a little bit more stable at the rear and what a joy with harness on the circuit, now you sit firm in the seats! It needs a little adjustment and then it can be painted!

 

[VolumeX]

Thats crazy man, how extra weight you carrying now?

Not weighted yet, will do when it comes out for painting

A few updates:

- Front rs logo painted yellow and silver indicators


- Powerflex mounts for engine and gearbox



And cage is finally painted and refitted :jump1:
