Done.
Well except corner weighting, but we are going to attempt this at the circuit on Monday.
Took Burp3 out into the bright sunlight today, for a little trip down the road to Back'n'Rounds. The lads stuck it on the Hunter alignment to check the readings, and straightened my steering wheel for...
Set myself a target James, needed to be done as Silverstone booked next Monday, then I've got 10 days to sort any little problems out (hopefully none)
Then on holiday for 2 weeks, the day after we come back, we are off to Snett!!
Rush rush rush.
So here we are, a week on, and it's 99% done.
Only the sills and tailgate to fit (not sprayed yet). It's been a long 3 weeks and I'm knackered.
If I get chance this week, I'll corner weight it and get the geo done, but if not, tough titty, I'm still going to Silverstone on the 15th.
Moved the...
Everything has for 's and against.
Tric Trophy is not a championship, so you can pick and choose what evets you want to do.
Ad Bob said, we are a friendly bunch, and will always muck in if somebody has a problem, we'd rather see a car out racing, than left in the pits.
Getting lapped isn't a...
As promised, Jamie came up on Sat, and we got more done.
Rear beams swapped over and brake lines done.
Exhaust fitted (as in above vid)
And rollcage all in.
So thanks to Jamie, all the double handed stuff is now done.
Went over for a couple of hours today, just to tidy up some little bit's of...
Thanks for you help yesterday mate, like old times.
Jamie came up today, got loads more done.
Cage in
Exhaust fitted and swapped rear beam.
All stuff that need another pair of hands.
Should be ready by the 15th Feb
A little more done.
Rear loom is all in, fuel pumps etc. Fiddled around with the pedal box to change it from fbw to cable, what an arse that was.
And yes, the important bit, the engine is in.
So with some luck, it will be running next weekend, then just the cage and panels to put back in...
Yes Ren UK. They'll say they don't do one, but it is on the parts list.
Never said it was brilliant, but just an option, I've really hit some kerbs hard in mine, and it's survived, plus when the flywheel came off, it didn't manage to cut it's way through.
If I was doing really rough stages, or...
Renault do a sump guard for the Clio. I have one on the race car. It's the same as the plastic one that's on the standard cars, it's not that thick, but I have clouted mine a few times, and it's done the job. It's a standard part made for the south american clios, where the roads are rough.
I...
So Papa lost, but in real time, he won.
Yes I timed both cars, and the 182 won, that's why I was shocked when they told me it was the other way around. But then when I found the script in the back of my car later, it all became clear.
Still never mind, it was a great day, even though a tad...
One was called Papa, and the other called Nicole, can't remember which one was which, the script just said Nicole wins with a time ........ sec.
Can't remember the actual time, but it was a little quicker than stated in the film.
Yes it was me.
The filmed lap , is an assortment of about 15-20laps all cut together, they only had 1 or 2 camera's, so had to keep moving them.
I actually timed the laps myself, and was shocked when the rdsukt came in, even more so, when I found the script in the back of the car when I got...

A big thanks to Jamie, who travelled up to lend me a hand yesterday.
Got the engine out, and found a different (pikey way) to lift the body up off the engine.
Started to drill fixing holes etc into the new engine bay (mind my shiny paint!).
Still loads to be getting on with, it never ending.
