Track / Race Clio 197 - Rotoryboy

Yep seen that. That's Nicky at Monster Sport Europe. I have had lengthy chats with him.

This will be a Track Car unless I can confirm sponsorship deals. If I get the £15-£20k to run the race car then I will obviously fit the required equipment

If you can get that sponsorship let me know, you can put your name/names on my car, no problem

Well the doors are off and have been sent away to have some custom door cards fitted. The roll cage is nearly done and dash reinstalled.

I collect the doors on Tuesday next week so will then drive straight up to the car to reinstall. Whilst it is in there I am having some thin sheet chequer plate attached to both front foot wells to keep the height correct for the peddles.

I will add photos on collection next week

Door card before.

Door cards look good fella, any update on the roll cage?

 

[Deaks]

Top effort! :thumbsup:

 

[Rotoryboy]

Roll cage shots will be on Tuesday when the doors are back on

Very good job with the door card mate. But may i ask, since you are preparing your car mainly for track days/racing why did you choose to keep the electric mirrors?

 

[Rotoryboy]

It's just as easy to keep them and when different people get in you can still adjust the mirrors from inside

How will you close the door without the window being open? There's no door pull.

THIS was also my first thought!
I heard Streamline offer some nice carbon door handles!

I would just fit some straps like the Porsche spyder has.

woukd be cheap enough to do and easy to bolt to the existing handle mounting point

 

[Rotoryboy]

Hi guys, sorry that is not the finished article as it has a door close strap. I just have limited photos at the moment.

Here some pics of the cage










I had the floors done too





I will get some better pics at the weekend

 

[Rotoryboy]

I am well happy so far

I would be. Doors look so ace and roll cage is decent. Top work

 

[Rotoryboy]

I just need to sort out the wiring as there is tonnes of the stuff lol

 

[lukepinder]

What you taking out of the wiring?

 

[Rotoryboy]

Need to remove all the airbag systems and sensors. Maybe remove the rear wiper and roof aerial tpo

 

[Rotoryboy]

Any one done this wiring strip yet? Just need to make sure I don't remove any vitals lol.

Does anyone know what these are for? There are loads of them all over the loom.

Looks like the keyless entry sensor for the boot.
As long as it stays in the back, the keyless will work.

But be careful, the clips tend to break because it sits very tight.

You can remove the whole Isofix bar as it weighs 2,8kg and is useless in terms of stabilty.
