So, a couple of weekends ago saw my second outing in the old girl. I hadn’t previously considered doing this weekend due to being busy with work but I thought better of it and signed up. Checking the weather all week leading up to the race the forecast was switching from fair and sunny, to...

Was it the Clio? My mrs has it now with my number plate on. She goes that way to Gaydon from Towcester. I've got an orange 1 series now.

Cannot believe how much time flies! More updates including actually racing it! The car has laid dormant under a cover since last year. A rare spare weekend has come up between my work and I have put an entry in for a CTCRC Pre 93 race at Donington on the 6/7th of June! A couple of small jobs...

Yeah Tony the straps were wrong out of the box. I only noticed it when refitting them with the new seat. Had a bit of a moment thinking 'Jesus these were £200 and I only bought them 2 years ago'. TRS did like I say send me a new pair no fuss at all. Dave I doubt it mate, although I would love...

Tis going well thanks guys. Pre 93 touring cars is the aim, got a few mates who do it in BMW's and other cars. Just need the time! Seeing as I now have both steeds in the garage together, I took it as a good opportunity to compare the engines and try and get to the bottom of why when my cam...

Just had a couple of pics through from a chap who was there on the day from Rymer Automotive Photography 8)

Thanks for the comments guys. Has been a while since I have updated this again so here it is. March time the car was ready to rock and roll and I did three airfield track days with Motorsport Events at Keevil airfield. Nice and cheap, £99 a time was the perfect place to shake the car down, find...

Quite a lot has happened here's a run down: Wrapped the exhaust in Titanium heat wrap. It was custom made on the car and does hug the underside of the car quite well. To prevent any thermal issues I decided to cover it: Finally plucked up the courage to take the protective wrapping...

Today I tackled my bulkhead blanking panel. Such a 'simple' panel, which no one will ever see certainly tested my patients today! Any way, it's finished so I can tick it off and chill! Mounted to the panel is the ECU and also a cold air feed for the heater box. And a nice easy one...

Had a mega day in the garage today, having a couple of weeks to hoard and plan has been handy! Where to begin!? Fitted my Corsa/E30 linkage for my E46 rack. Also changed the nuts on the rack bolts to proper K nuts: My fabricator mate poped over again and welded my turret reinforcement...

Nah I built one up. I am going to do another one with extra ARB and engine mount reinforcement bits on and have it powder coated at some point.

Consuming my life hence why so little has happened to this all year ha.

Cheers! Sadly I don't have the workshop now and the car is back in my dark garage! Thought I might update this if any one is interested :sleepy: This was my sunroof: All stripped out... Ready for this: Et voila: Some paint and the dash refitted: Along with some super...

I've had some Pioneer tweeters for a few years but havent fitted them. I tried to get the grilles off when I got them but couldn't do it so just gave up really. Is there anything obvious or is it a case of just plucking the grilles out and changing them over?

Every day is a school day!
