Hey Josh.. few track days to start.. to get to grips with the car and gain confidence in it, iron out any niggles.. then hopefully look into racing it.. you've started racing yours now haven't you? Alright mate.. standard loom going back in... well a lighter weight version (as much as the ECU...

#34 Next up was prepping the engine to go back in. I had been doing this a bit by bit for a while now but thought i'd just fire it up on here in one post. We decided that we wouldn't touch the engine internally until we have the car running and have done a few practice sessions and potnetially...

#33 I ordered some wheel studs to replace the normal wheel bolts from Elite Developments.. Makes it so much easier to change wheels/tyres. I got the 75mm ones. I also went to get the tyres fitted to the wheels.. The garage did a good job and for once i left without scratched alloys! (been...

@andy007 @cpaterson76 Yeah they're 110 at rear and 90 up front!. You can spec whatever you like from Curtis though.. these where what we came up with for a Track only spec.... luckily for me I share all the costs with @Jenbo so it makes alot more things affordable Sent from my GT-I9505 using...

Cheers lads [emoji106] @imprezaworks @Arran_ Ta mate appriciate all the kind words.. got a few more updates to put up.. engine is in now. I went for 15"x7.0 et35 TD's in the end

#32 My order of TD Pro Race 1.2s finally came too!.. 15", graphite satin.. Didn't want to run spacers to get the offset I wanted, so ordered a custom offset. @Jenbo also got our mk1 dash sent off for flocking.. and did an exceptional job of polishing up our headlights, which I fitted...

Yeah just wanted to keep it nice and simple.. went for a satin black in the end.. wanted all the brake lines/hoses etc to just blend in

#31 Front end was next...... Parts all ready for assembling. I fitted some new powerflex centre ARB bushes. I've read so many things about these being a pain to fit and that "you need a big crowbar and a few guys". To me that's just not right, so I thought id investigate. I put the new...

#30 As i'd fitted all the parts in the cockpit that I could, I started to build up the suspension assemblies. Starting with the Rear Axle. Modified axle and axle mounts back from powder coat. I also made the decision, due to the state of the original bolts (a few I had to cut off as they...

Yeah there's quite a few good lil championships, will do some more research for next year on which would be best. Thanks @scotiamr2t , @RMDavis Haha, cheers Tony.... that's what its all about though isn't it... having the car on axles stands staring at it and never driving it?... 😅

Cheers!, yeah it's coming together nicely now, hard part is over, just need to built it all back up now Thanks, i enjoyed making all the bits, love looking at it and thinking it's abit different and putting my own stamp on it.

I'm looking at entering the MSVR trackday championship with my mate @Jenbo... already got my race licence just need to get the car finished!.. We just have to fit a camera in the cockpit that can see all the controls, and make sure you set the bias before the race. Cheers Josh, it will be the...

#29 Steering column/boss/quick release were next on the agenda. I started out by cutting down the column/bulkhead, bearing/seal (it has a large flange for mounting to the sound deadening) You can just see the faint outline of where I cut it half way down the shaft. I then installed the...

#28 I then started on the front brake lines. I fitted the t-piece to the little aluminium bracket i made and riveted onto the chassis leg. I also added some anti chaffing rubber on the corner just incase it comes into contact with the chassis. It shouldn't but i'd rather play it safe. I...

#27 After the shell was painted it was time to send off all the suspension components to be powder coated/painted. Here's some of the bits that went off to be powdercoated. And the final result!.. all laid out ready to go. The build can finally start.. Custom Seat rails in. Trimmed...

I can't believe i haven't put an update on since May!.. time flys when your busy..The break was a little more than a few weeks, sorted out the house though and moved the car down here so time to get it finished. I've got a few updates to write up so here goes....

Yeah you can get stuff delivered.. couldn't tell you how much though sorry.. If you ring up ask for a guy called Jody Bowman, he's really helpful.. i just went through the boot floor as the holes line up well with the pivots of the rear axle and keep the lines away from the rear wheels/tyres...

Haha, i wouldn't go that far, but thanks!! I just try to do the best job I can.. Yeah I'm really happy how the gear lever came out, just cant wait to see how it performs on track! Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Hi mate, the hardline normally comes in 3m lengths.. but you can buy as much or as little as you want, ATEC can cut it down to suit.. There is no minimum purchase amount [emoji106]

@Mash. Yeah you got it.. hardline to bulkhead, then flexi to caliper.. I Need to do a proper update soon (maybe at the weekend).. been busy busy on the car got alot more done.. I've had to take a break for a few weeks now tho as currently buying a house and sorting that is taking up alot of...

Oh thats a shame i would have come!.. I'm up in sunderland all this weekend though, family thing.. going to try to pop over to Rockingham.... hope you have a better race at silvo, ill keep my eye on the timing! Need to get ahead of the Peugeot's ;)

Yeah, thats the one.. got a few friends who already race in it.. been to quite a few rounds and looks alright! Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Hi mate.. looking good!.. what other championships have you been looking at?.. I was thinking of tricalore, but probably going to go down the route of the trackday championship now as going half with a mate and the tracktime for the money is great and the championship is growing with some decent...

Hey mate, yeah just using that one for now until i switch to the AP pedal box.. not 2 fussed with a slightly longer travel in pedal.. wont be much difference.. i prefer to just fit a t piece instead of seperate ports on MC.. plus when i fit the pedal box i will need the t pieces as those master...

I'm going to catch up tomorrow at lunch, don't get time to come on here these days with the new job!, flat out most of the time now!. Glad its running though, that's ace!.. any plans for when you plan on getting it out on track this summer?

#26 TIME TO PAINT!!!.. Finally .. For @Jenbo and I this was a huge milestone!. Ending the era of fabrication and modification and starting to get closer to an actual finished built car!. My OCD got the better of me so I decided to tackle the laborious task of cleaning all the underseal and...

Cheers mate, I was long overdue an update. Just in the middle of writing another quick one now. You finished yours yet or what?!!!! Thanks Sonny, appreciate it Haha, least you get to use urs!, haven't driven mine in 2 years!.. U'll have to pop up when Ben is over and we can have a sesh on it...

#25 As I said, Brake lines were the next job on the job list. As I have previously said on my thread, these are to be ran through the cockpit using ATEC Fluid Systems aluminium hardline tubing and machined aluminium tube fittings. These lines are so light and are protected with a polyamide...

Been a busy time both in the garage and out. Got a lot of progress done on the car whilst starting a new job at the same time!.. Finally all settled down (well as much as it can) so I have time to do a few more updates. #24 Whilst we were finalizing the steering column I made the decision to...

Looks great Tony!, great job!.. I'll probably come say hi at Snet then, off to watch @chrispy.clio in his first race in the Trackday Trophy (in a Mini JCW)
