Trevorb33's Fantasy Green Fabia 1.8t Sleeper

Had a fun day today, starting to strip front loom to remove redundant wires and tidy it up I could be here a few days lol

[DarrellGB]

All I have to do for Bedford is take out the Yeti's back seats, instant 200kilo saving (well maybe exaggerating but they are pigging heavy!)

Make sure you wrap it up very well with insulating tape leaving no sign of any wires for MOT knobs to pick up on like they did in my Octy!

Outside rears are nearly 20kg I reckon. Centre one perhaps 15-ish.

Last bit of sound deadening out behind dash and this lot of wiring out

And it still runs lol woohoo

That sounds about right, plus the spare wheel and it's a 60-65Kg saving

Finishing up the front loom, all taped up now, most things plugged back in, just deciding how to run loom on firewall, started fitting p clip's so it will look nice, even though no one will ever see it, also blanked off the heater matrix pipe holes and hole where demister motor sits,

Some pics

From this

First p clip securing loom

Two ally blanks siliconed in

Going to be doing a Motorsport heater install for winter

Better hope you get a nice cool breeze in summer. Been driving the Octy round today and had to have the AC on full all the time. Such a big area with the seats removed you have to cool the boot and everything it gets quite warm.

If I put the AC on I'll loose 5 hp

I'll just open windows lol

But that's more drag, might as well have a parachute on the back.

Finished off the wiring today, dash is ready to go back on, the two big clumps are where I've had to keep airbag related stuff to keep the light off, and the loose big connector is power for demister should I chose to refit it

I really have to see this one in flesh! Every day gets better and better!

Thanks a lot

Found a picture from before for a good comparison

[TrevorB33]

[TrevorB33]

Broke down today lol my own fault, I kinda forgot to put fuel in it, lucky it's light to push

In defence my other car don't need fuel so I rarely visit them lol

[DanHarper]

No very loud beep when the fuel light comes on with the Fabia clocks? Or did you just ignore it :P

 

I used to run my Cordy for days with the fuel light on, bloody noise annoyed the hell out of me as it was so loud on every startup.

Strangely no, I've never run it that low before and never seen the reserve light, the fuel gauge is slightly off where the needles have been off an on, I now know empty is just out of red lol
