the little plastic bits the sunroof clips into at the front, if you can get them off can i have them

If I can get them off, then of course you can mate,

I will see what I can do tomorrow for you

[jayrs]

[Chris 2i]

Looks great, carbon tailgate next?

[Turboboy67]

Before I nip off and pick up my 2.0

I had a spare hour so thought I would fit the Morettes





Couple more pictures of the roof




Seems to have stuck well , only time will tell though

[Swiss]

[McGoo 69]

If you sell any of the carbon let me know i need to get my hands on some more im biggining to twitch haha

Carbon morettes springs to ming though

[Excursion]

Nice weave. I'd personally paint the central, underlying part of the roof black, make it look slightly more OE.

[Brammer]

Wow!!!!!! !!!!!! how mean does that look

[snakeyjake]

[jayrs]

im loving this build mate, a buget build wasnt it?

[MarkRS2K]

[Turboboy67]

Should get my money back pretty quickly looking at the cost of the book

So picked up my 2.0 from the For-Tune peeps this afternoon, then went on to Mixon's house and picked up a dash (I have plans for that )

My self imposed wheel buying ban is over

4x Xr2i alloys and tyres for £16 from good old e-bay,
keeping the set of road tyres on these just incase I wake up on a track day morning
and its raining

No more progress until the weekend now guys, I'm to busy at work for a couple of days

[jayrs]

£16, cant go wrong with that mate!

[Turboboy67]

£16, cant go wrong with that mate!

Worth more than that in scrap

Results of the old roof v new roof

old 10kg & new 2.1kg

So vitually an 8kg saving

[JamieFRST]

Excellent Jay


So you think you can make use of the dash then, saves me having to get rid of it somewhere


Think i've sorted my leak, hoping it was just a dodgy jubilee clip. Will see if there is a puddle in the morning

[jayrs]

8kg, not bad mate

[MattPym]

10kg! That's alot heavier than i expected

I have to say that thing looks so cool at the moment

[luca]

10KG nice work Shaun.....

Mine will be bonded on this weekend too

Although i think i added another 10kg with the roll cage additions

Oh well still should be 790 kg

[garyhurn77]

looks amazeing!!!!

weather warmed up enough for you then, you big girl looks amazing can you pm me the company who made you the carbon bits please!

thanks

Gary

[Tweek]

Morrettes and roof look awesome! Look forward to seeing it at Combe

LOL @ Jay's new manual

[hb69]

Awesome Shaun I was a bit sceptical about those carbon roofs but that does look good And you have the only car ive ever seen that i think morettes look good on

[Turboboy67]

Cheers guys

Henry, None of us really know what will happen to them, we just hope they will be ok

They do look so much better seeing them, pictures really don't do them justice tbh

Hopefully I will have my bonnet on as well for FITP

[luca]

You most certainly will Shaun, and hey there be 2x track rs1800 Fiestas there

Not long to go and hey! your 1st track outing in UFO week saturday

[knuckles]

im loving this build mate, a buget build wasnt it?

that is one quality pic jay

The roof looks really cool. But me being negative as always thinks after a while of being chucked around a track you may find cracks apearing ....
Shawn.... i want to see you take the front fog's glass out and mesh it. Slap a oil cooler behind one

[jayrs]

i reckon a nice large hole eaither side of that number plate to aid cooling and reduce weight would be good

[hb69]

Shawn.... i want to see you take the front fog's glass out and mesh it. Slap a oil cooler behind one

Thats what i was planning to do with my 2i before i sold it, oil cooler one side, and number plate the other side, where the fogs would be. Then cut holes where the number plate used to be

[Turboboy67]

Come up with something I havn't thought of already please guys

Lights will be removed for track days, oil cooler will be in when the engine swap happens

I really can't see the roof cracking, the main strength of the roof from the factory remains,
its not rivoted or bolted on so it does have a certain amount of flex,
but as I have said before, this is the first one to be done so nobody knows
for sure what will happen

[luca]

Believe me the roofs are mega strong...

If it cracks il give the victim my car im that confident it wont crack!!!

I stupidy walked into the garage and stodd on the card wrapped carbon roof the other day did it crack mark or scratch

NOPE! SO if it takes 11 half stone on top it wont crack.... 180mph il let you know on that one

[Turboboy67]

Been busy today again guys

Omex rev limiter with launch control fitted, not had a chance to have a play with it yet

Race size battery fitted

Smoked front indicators fitted

Alloy trumpets for inner Morette holes fitted.

Just got to do the rear polybushes now ready for Combe next Saturday





nice big gap now where old battery use to be, needs a lick of paint now



So saved another 13kg by removing the old battery and tray

[Max M4X WW]

Any pics of the smoked indicators? Not seen any for a while! Looking good as always, No proper pics of roof yet though!

Would like to get mine weighed, Bet it really damn heavy

[luca]

Good work there mate you had a productive weekend

Are you all set for Saturday then or having a few pre combe days to prepare.

[Turboboy67]

Pictures of the roof are quite hard to take fella,

I'm sure there will be pictures of it a Combe next week that will get posted

Smoked lenses are not a great deal darker than the ones I had on there tbh.

trumpets look good though

[luca]

show us some better pics of the trumpets and what is tht device poking out of them
some kind of weapon to clear the track
