There's a lot his car inside here! :-) I'm going to a place i know well in Farnham at lunch. Cheers

Cheers bud, any recommendations near us? Merit tyres?

So you can set the camber to zero on the gauge from any position. I did this before adjusting the bolts. So what ever it was from standard, I added 1.5 degrees. Well, that’s what I think I did ?? Taking it for full laser setup today.

It’s running! Managed to get loads done tonight, started off by finally getting the car running. This was important as it was stuck in the garage and I could only work on one side ?. New pipe arrived and I’ve now got a new power steering return feed sorted. Also wired and tested the fan...

Managed to get out and fit the new cooling fan. It’s pretty easy, although feels strange poking the brackets through the rad. Anyhow, much better and frees up so much room Hopefully new pipe work will arrive tomorrow for power steering and then I’ll be able to put the rest back and get...

When you wired these, did you connect them both into the original cable? Or a different setup? Thanks.

This is ridic! Love it.

cheers guys It’s been a little frustrating the last few days. Just need a new Power steering pipe now.

It’s never easy!! So it turns out my pipe work wasn’t as good as I thought and when I put the radiator back in it was all too tight. The lower pipe is fine, but the one with the ali pipe work is just awkward so I’ve ordered some new pipe work to remake that. Also now I’ve ordered a slimline...

Bolted some more bits back on. Mainly the engine mount, had some fun as one of the bolts (the one that goes through the inlet) decided to thread at the very bottom. I’ve marked where it fucked up. I’m going to run a tap through it, but for now I’ve put a slightly shorter bolt in. Fuel...

Been a pleasure reading this. Some great work and given me a few ideas for my project. Looking forward to more updates.

Found a little bit of time this evening although not much as I’m writing this at 21:00! ? FIrst up I’ve fitted the aux belt and connected the alternator up. Picked up these lovely PTFE gaskets from KTec. Hopefully they’ll make some difference. Lower and upper inlet manifolds refitted...

It turned out to be an extremely long day, had to remove a lot more of the car than I thought to get the FF power steering alongside the cup AC delete kit. I think I’m nearly there with it and have it routed nicely. Just need to start putting things back now. The strip down of old parts starts...

Don’t have enough time to take the AC part out that is under the scuttle panel, it looks a nightmare! So I decided to change the filter and hoover out a lot of dust and s**t. I’ve still got two pipes poking out, but I guess I’ll just cap them off. Couple of things I’m still considering on...

Thanks all. Hopefully here this week so I can fit.

Managed to get some more done tonight. Half of the AC is now out without breaking anything. As I don’t have the AC delete kit yet and I don’t want to start removing the compressor until it’s here, I made a start on removing the inlet. It’s pretty easy except for the side bolt and how tight...

Good luck! This is loads of work.

Thought i'd bring up an old thread just to confirm a couple of things. I've got a FF 172, which i want to remove the AC. I've purchased a Cup setup, brackets and Alternator. From what i've read in most places is all i need to do is bend the PAS pump. Is this correct? Anything else i...

Awesome thread, just had a good read! I've just purchased the Cup Alternator setup like you, but i'm going to keep the PAS. Did you just bend the pipe to fit this before you replace with the EPAS? Also, how come you needed up need a new blower for the heater? because you went crazy and...

Managed to spend some time this afternoon getting a few things done. Picked up a ported inlet from @JKING3008 so thought it would be a good idea to paint that along with all the other engine parts. Happy with the result as I wanted a nice matte finish. Made my own paint booth Painted parts...

Front camber bolts are now fitted, just need final setup. I’ve purchased a camber tool, so will attempt this at the weekend. I’ve also fitted front spacer. Happy with the look, which is a bonus. Rear hub spacers on next.

End of May. Would like two trips this year, but tight on holiday.

Throttle body looks standard to me. Good start with this car. Should be good fun to follow.

Not a massive update, but work has started... I'm off to the ring in May, so i have a few jobs that i want to get done. Spacers front and rear Camber on front AC Delete Shifter upgrade I'm aiming to get this done in the next 2 to 3 weeks. So far i've just manage to take things apart and...

Thanks guys, annoyingly i bought them two years ago and opened the packet tonight. I'll just order new ones. they are 20 quid.

yeah, i know... i was just being dumb, bouncing on the car isn't really showing the right load etc... Cheers all, i've order 10mm hub spacer..

Hi guys. Found that I had these, but missing the washer. They still ok to use?

Brand new cup dampers and eibach springs. They’re fine.

That was 90kg jumping on the back. It’s got springs. I’m going to get it out on the road. It’s just in a lot of bits right now.

Hey guys. Car is currently off the road, so can’t drive to test. I’ve tried a very crud way to see if they are rubbing. I think they will but I’m not sure. Thoughts? Eibachs, with 15mm spacers.
