Whats the deadline?

I think I have wiring diagrams for the rear lights and the fuel pump... Let me check... EDIT: see below: Fuel pump (assuming it is the same as Ph1) I don't have the rear lights still, but they are easily googlable

UPDATE: Winter mode engaged

A few from Castle Combe this week.

Ha, I think @Daniel may have missed that too, perhaps he was tired ;)

So was the above post, note the spelling. 😜

Who Cocksport?

Absolute pleasure meeting you both, thank you both for your advice/assistance and wheel bolts (ha) Will for sure be doing another Cooksport day, the chilled vibe just makes it so much better. Look forward to a 3-way play next year then

Overall for sure a win, things could of gone a lot lot worse so I am pretty chuffed. Washed it off today, bloody hell rubber is hard to get off the paintwork (even after all of the coats of wax and polish it had). Yeah but I put mine together and I colour in things for a living, I expect your...

UPDATE: The cars very first trackday/shakedown. I chose to do the Cooksport day at Castle Combe for a couple of reasons. It was late in the year so if anything drastic happened I had winter to rebuild it, it is relatively close so again if there was any big issues it would lessen the hassle and...

BINGO Good spot on that, the shorter stud is actually for a locker. It has been on there since I fitted the studs a long time ago.

UPDATE: I wasn't particularly happy with just trying to use up fuel on my last drive, it seemed pretty irresponsible (this was pre the fuel 'crisis') so I decided I would rig up my fuel pump loom at pump the system dry... I must have got 0.2 of a litre out so I must have only just got home from...

UPDATE: When I got home from the previous breakdown I put what little fuel I had at home in the car and it started up straight away - quite a relief. New readings were inputted into the dash with the 5ltr reading now being used as the 0ltr reading (this also corresponded with some advice I got...

It must have been hilarious to pass me, I was stood up pushing (not bent over straining) - basically I was taking my car for a walk....

UPDATE: I have been using the car for various 'out and about trips' recently just to keep it in use and for a prolonged shakedown I guess. I decided to pop out this week in a lunchtime and decided on a loop that took in some twisties a short motorway run and then a dual carriageway home...

The throttle stop is exactly the same job that has been on my to do list for a long long time. 👍👌

UPDATE: The summer seems to have been pretty much a write-off, lots of personal stuff going on which has been tough. It has meant the car has hardly come out which is quite a shame. Hopefully things are picking up now though and I am possibly looking at booking a trackday in October. Back to...

Gave the track car a proper clean, the first one since it was painted. Wash > Clay > Wash > AG Super Resin 1 > AG Super Resin 2 > AG Extra Gloss > Swisswax Carnuba

Looks stunning. It seems it has been the time for polishing PH1's recently

WOW, I have only just seen this thread. This car has changed significantly since I last saw it... but that was a long long time ago and it was a showroom condition completely standard valver...

UPDATE: Last week I got across to Cooksport for the geo/suspension set-up. It is a pretty good drive up across the mendips so would provide quite a good comparison journey out and back. I had a good chat with the guys there regarding what I was using the car for and how I would like it set-up...

I missed these replies, apologies i have had a lot on. Nope no PAS at all, and in all honesty I can't see what the fuss is all about... It is Bristol Airport, but not the main entrance. I have already been for several runs across the Mendips so certainly making use of the close proximity to...

Not really an update as such... I planned to go out for a drive over the weekend and by the time I got around to it it was raining. Now initially I will admit I didn't really want to take it out in the rain, stupid huh, but then I reconsidered it and thought it was a pretty good idea. I need to...

A fair few people comment on the colour. Really happy I chose it, its not super lairy but its different enough. Again thanks for the kind words

I was going to say I think the splitter looks a lot better in person, but actually the splitter and bumper do. But I get they are not everybody's cuppa. The splitter I think is quite subtle, a lot more than some that stick out miles and lets face it probably don't do much for aero. On the note...

NOW fully road legal, taxed, MOT'd and Insured...

UPDATE: Saturday was MOT day, I was awake early and left the house at 7.30am to get the car to the garage for 8am. I reached the garage bang on time to meet the garage owners who had just finished dropping a new engine into their race car that had got to them the night before from Kent. They...

UPDATE: (all be it a very small one) I had some Helitape that I bought a long time ago and as I have minty fresh paint why would I not add a little protection before it gets used. I made up some masking tape templates and cut out the corresponding small helitape patches. I only wanted to...

UPDATE: The cars is also set to be insured in preparation for the MOT. I done a lot of research and found Reis Motorsport to be a good option. This proved to be even better when I realised I could put our van on the insurance with them as a support vehicle too. Perfect. The car will be fully...
