UPDATE: The countdown begins to the MOT on Saturday with me being a little bit concerned about it but not with not much more I can do, it is in their hands. There were some obvious things to do, like fit proper number plates. I had previously made up a carbon rear track number plate but I...

The airbox and helmet are stunning mate, Looks like some really good upgrades recently and good to hear it has come together really well.

As I am not of the younger generation I do not understand your acronyms. *picks up mic and hands it back for another try 😜

@Daniel will get dizzy going that far north, he struggled when we moved the green car

You'll need a new track friend soon. ;)

So on my list of concerns and things to address at the moment is: Full size front plate (need to fit plates) No visible Vin number (take v5 doc) No Side repeaters No Speedo (hopefully can use phone app and mount)

Ah not at all mate, don’t worry

Not sure how ‘friendly’ they are yet, but they do run a race team, hence me speaking to them in the first place. 👍

Vehicles first used on or after 1 April 1986 must be fitted with one side repeater indicator on each side. Instead of a separate lamp, the side repeater might be part of the front direction indicator if it includes a wraparound lens. Lamps incorporating a side repeater are marked either with an...

UPDATE: MOT IS BOOKED. Genuinely already nervous. From viewing the thread anyone got any suggestions on things I may need to worry about?

Cheers mate, it is tough when stuff like that happens, but each time I try and take something from it, I learn more and I know the car that much better each time I have to sort it.

E55 AMG The man said, then the man did. Really appreciate your business Ant. Really enjoyed creating the E55, such a stunning car.

UPDATE: So more of a tarting up update as I think I am genuinely running out of things to do for the MOT, or might even be done. Despite what I have just said above about an MOT I don't really want to run side repeaters. The loom was not made for them and I don't want to chop into it more...

UPDATE: In a push to get the car potentially MOT'd at/near the end of the month I am trying to get through jobs as and when time allows. So, continuing on from the Dash/ECU fuel saga I think I am almost there. I have had to do/redo and redo again some of the wiring which takes a fair bit of...

Doing lots of the bits that I need to do on mine, must be please to be finishing things off.

Just caught up on this, had not seen a lot of the updates. Really progressing, good to see. Sounds like it has been frustrating though.

I reckon for sure. I have the original linkage removed obviously, I think that alone weighs double the ally plate I have used

UPDATE (cont): The wiper motors loom needed a bit of fettling but was easily re-worked into the plug I already had. This was then clipped and tucked away. A few attempts at alignment of the wiper but it is all good, sweeps really nicely and tucks away too, pretty happy with how tidy the result...

UPDATE: Well this has been a little while in the making but progress is progress and I actually think this is the last thing to be sorted before it is ready for its MOT. Those that follow the thread will know I had a bit of an issue with the single wiper a while ago, because of that I...

Nice work on the window frames, I need to do that with the windows in.... Looks good though. Got an update on my single wiper soon, thought I'd let you know as it was inspired by you.

Thank you. Got a very interesting one in the process currently... its not a clio though

Thats the second time I have been asked that in a week. I can't remember but will try and have a look now a minute.

I was running 8J front and 9J rears on mine with no issues, but they were custom offsets and as you say camber did play a small part too. Love this build

Group buy..... ;)

MASSIVE UPDATE: I fitted an oil breather filter to the oil catch tank. see....

Phase 1 172 and Mk1 Ph2 1.2 Ph1 172 Thank you for your very kind words @Paul172sport it was nice to work up another Sunflower. I can customise each illustration so when Paul wanted to mark how special the sunflowers are with a title and number this was not a problem. Mk1 Ph2 1.2 This was...

I heard someone say Sunflower...

Flat floor, tub arches, etc etc :D

I am in good/constant communications with Race Technology so will be very much 'on it' if this doesn't go to plan. I have been trying to work out this morning what I need to do wiring wise, the least amount of cutting the better, it is a shame to keep breaking this loom and obviously that isn't...
