I'll have to give it a go!
Disaster tonight as I set about fitting my new stud and nut kit the front were fine but the rear 1 of the studs is just spinning so take it the thread is stuffed... Looks like I'll be ordering new discs Monday! Doh! Elite developments 90mm stud kit in black...
Been meaning to fit this into my dash for months finally got round to it, need to run a power lead and fit my smaller battery, I under stand I need a Longacre bulkhead through connector or something, not as simple as poking a wire through a gromit as I first anticipated lol
Not updated in a while but the car is nearly all back together just waiting on a new stud and nut kit and all fluids then it'll go for a set up and be driving!
Some pictures of what I've been up to ..
So to summarise what I've done to it is - new gear box/clutch/drive shafts.
full powerflex...
Good couple of hours on the car this afternoon, black series buses on, subframe is ready to go back on.. When taking the broken box out we noticed the top of the sump is leaking so I'll sort that does any one know the the sump has a gasket or is just a sealer of sorts like some cars
Got a bit excited with the hammerite whilst the subframe was down and on the floor today, also painted my new box what I collected this morning and arb and hubs 😂🙈 Just need the bushes to get here got a whole cars worth of powerflex black series bushes and get a clutch tomorrow...
Car is currently up on stands awaiting a box transplant lol
But on the up side my lovely hubs came back from @NorthloopCup can't wait to get them fitted and have a go at brands with them. Thanks mate you've been awesome!
My new brembo hc's done the same after half a day at snetterton a couple weeks ago! I think it's just warped as I used the sighting laps to try and bed them in but as you say it's hard to go out and bed brakes in lol, car looks amazing btw mate!
I need to learn to bed brakes in properly I warped a brand new set of high carbon discs at snett, it's hard to use the car as its sorn and goes every where on the truck now, what was I doing wrong I was using the brakes quite a lot on the sighting lap trying to get heat in them a bit, by lunch...
Video i made showing my clio from various cars ( mates r32 GTR and mrs' focus ST ) as i didnt have the go pro on, not my mrs laughing at me being a field 😂
Well Snett was a bit of a crap day for me and the clio in the end. Going really well in the morning on my AD08r's and then decided to swap to my td's with the r888's on them and went out done about 5 quickish laps thinking they were up to temp so went harder on the 6th lap or what ever it was...
Saw the video I was the black 182 with the white speed hunter sun strip you got me going toward the bomb hole with the trophy chasing me, must of been just before my gearbox blew to smithereens lol
Had my wheels powder coated in Audi nardo grey (shiny primer) I love them I think they look so much better than the pinky colour they were before I appreciate its not every ones cup of tea but there we are
Yeah the driver side has 2 so I put it on the one in the middle and angled it as it is and it does a full sweep, I can get a pic tomorrow night for you if u like mate. P.s. Just looked through your thread on here! What a weapon engine bay looks amazing
