If the aim is a cheap track car then don't look past the 172 cup IMO. As Chip has posted the link above, that's the axle kit but also check out all their other stuff. They have everything from sump guards to competition shifters, bump steer correction kits, exhausts, manifolds and its all made...

Im away to do the timing belt on my (F4RT's) Meg, for those who have done it before. Is there any other parts I'll need over and above what the F4R's need. I know the turbos have no dephaser so they need different cam seals which I have, they also have two nuts on the cam pulleys which I have...

To add to Chips points.... There's two steering racks manufacturers, TRW/SMI and you'll have to physically check which one you have on your car. Much and such the same in geometry from what I can gather with the only difference being the thread where the track rod screws into. Also the 172 Cup...

Love it.....leave them to it, closed road car rallying needs freed up again too. One bad crash this week at the NW200, here's a video from live leak. Pretty rough, survived for two days after too before he died. http://m.liveleak.com/view?i=99e_1400587650

Yeah as morbid as it is, still nice to see what happened.

Good pics.... Fail on the videos though.

I have been collecting the last few parts for completing this thing while away, getting no time to do anything at the moment though. I just ordered today the timing belt kit, aux belt kit, w/pump, crank bolt, seals and cam nuts. I went with Fuchs sintofluid for the g/box after hearing a few...

Did ye aye!!

Nice work, give your fabricator a pat on the back. How are you securing the panel filter?

Well I'm colour blind and it looks like UR in the pics haha :o

When you say red stripe, have they finally figured out there is different compounds and how to differentiate? LiamR172 have you burnt out those R1-R's already?

Very nice... Door handles red and that would be a perfect meg other than a white car with full decals and black pack. Whats everyones thoughts on decals? With? Without? doors only? Bumpers only? If I keep this for any length of time i think I would be tempted to put on front and back bumper decals.

Paragraphs and punctuation mate. Its a very hard read, plus dirty pics won't sell a car. It goes to say if the owner can't be bothered to clean the wheels for a picture then what else can't they be bothered with. All IMO off course.

Can't see any photos on this rig :( Is there two different colours of headlights on these like there is on the clio's?

I seen that. Its a new thing for KH, though..

Aye I usually rinse a full tank and a 30 litre jerry can in a 4hr OPL.

^^thats an awesome deal but also a car breaker. First 8hr I have heard of tbh.

I'll post those pics when I get a chance Tom. I was under the impression that SD cages were straight fit with no interior removal except the rear seats. Get Photobucket on your phone Mark, its so easy. That's all I ever use to upload photos and to surf in here tbh. Hence the awful spell...

I think your trying to do too much Tom, if you're wanting a cage that goes in no problems then just buy a safety devices (bare metal) and modify from there to allow people in the back when needed.

Yeah mate 3 sets, they're supposed to be ideal for the suspension geomatery of the cup racers. I don't want to wonder too far from the et 48.5 tbh. I toyed with swapping to pro race 1.2's for the room inside the rim but a lot of guys are bending them frequently at KH. Maybe the circuit changes...

Ahh okay, I think its an impossibility to get good 4 pots under cup racer 2118's without spacers and the standard discs to keep costs down. The standard/scenic discs are almost maxed out on offset with standard hubs as it is.

Good work. Steven is it et48.5 2118's you tried it with? If so could you have a quick look for the possibility of 280mm standard discs, no spacers and those callipers please. Also are they AP5100?

With mine anyway it goes through just to the outer edge of tweeters (you'll lose them) and you'll have to chop up the underneath of the dash to suit. It still looks oem from the outside though. Depending what you do you'll have to relocate the side fuse box on N/S door check. Chop down the...

I know in the Vauxhall world they're mediocre but I guess it depends what model you buy and the typical Vauxhall driver won't look after things (sweeping statement) The trying but was just about what looks like a good finish (the same as AST's by the pics) and the use of monotubes which shoes...

If they're the superior then you're going to kick yourself for the difference mate. AVO's look like they have a good corrosion free finish which I know will make you moist ;)

Looking quite nice those, looks like AVO have stepped up and done a more premium setup. Inverted mono tubes is a sign of quality, orat least they're trying.

Yeah I might even do the strips red to get rid of the poverty look. Decided I'm going to do the box oil when I get back from work as its not a service item and the history is unknown. I will order the timing belt etc when I'm away this trip and do that along with the dash wrap and that will be...

I found that when I took everything apart the stripes had been red before although the mirrors hadn't. Maybe they were from a 'black pack' car which I found out was badges, wheels and mirrors black. I was going to do the exhaust back box chop and the quick shift. I might still do my own quick...

Yeah that's not too bad, I think the oem are quite stingy. I would rather have red side strips but I do think darker wheels (anthracite) suit UR better tbh. I'm away to try black on the handles in plasti dip and the diamonds and see how that looks on this thing as I don't want the expense of...

Cheers you might have needed a place to stay for a few days though haha. I just used a selection of tapered punches to shock it at the seize point and then switched to parallel punches, wasn't a massive issue tbh with the right tools. I'm glad Liam gave me a set of pins though with the car. Is...
