We're gonna be having the rear lights (not boot brake light, or boot courtesy light), indicator stalks and everything they control and dash clocks

Gonna be getting them to do the same with mine at some point, may go along the route of removing it too. Would just be a pain re-wiring everything :confused: I'll take a look thankyou!

Yeah I'm on a phase 1 mate. If you could give some guidance on what to do when removing it that'd be awesome.

Would love to but don't have £1000 ish to spend just to get rid of an annoying box that controls everything 😂

Chipped away at a few more jobs that needed doing today - slowly but surely. I begun by sanding down all of the plates that we welded in last week and tidying up the welds to make them look neater for when we spray the car. I also cut off all of the unused studs and brackets that we're left in...

How have people mounted their UCH in track/race cars. Just in the process of making a bracket for mine and looking for some inspiration. Would be awesome if anyone has any useful pictures of theirs :smile: TIA

I'll let you off if you have two :wink: Start one mate it's good fun keeping one and looking back at where you started. Ours has come so far when you look back, even if it doesn't feel like it! Gotta start somewhere, more fun when you're doing it with friends too :blush:

Thanks mate! Getting rarer and rarer now, good to see people building them into track cars instead of locking them away in a garage their whole life. You got a thread on here? Thankyou! Hoping to get some more done today:smile:

When we bought the car, whoever had the cage put in didn't think about the original location of the connecting plug from the engine loom to interior and so covered the hole up with part of the cage...:up: So obviously we had to fix this. Last night we made a new plate to sit in where the...

Extinguisher kit and co-driver footrest was delivered today so we had a quick play around with them marking up where they will be fitted. We marked out the position of where we will fit the extinguishers and where the holes needed to be drilled for the brackets. Plumbed in 2.25 Litre will be...

Enjoyed working on the car over the weekend and got a lot of things done! :grimacing: Firstly, I modified the brackets that I made Thursday night to taper outwards from the welded in rails - This is to allow us to fit a spanner under the bracket easier when tightening the nuts to bolt in the...

Bit of progress tonight. I headed down to work on my car alone tonight so only managed to do a few things. I did a couple of small jobs that have been bugging me for a while like just tidying certain areas up, but nothing worth writing about. So we needed to modify our seat rails to meet MSA...

Yes guy's you're completely right, we'll be putting a firewall cover over the tank once installed to meet the MSA Regs. Thought I'd mentioned it before, must have missed it :blush:

Thankyou! Starting to see the hard work pay off now. Contact Tim Finch on Facebook I bought ours from him :blush:

We've previously mentioned that we would be adding more door bars to our roll cage as we felt it wouldn't provide sufficient protection in a side impact. The current design only had a single bar running from the main hoop, connecting to the front section of the cage; meaning there wasn't a lot...

So I didn't get chance to go down Thursday as I felt ridiculously ill unfortunately and spent the whole day in bed :mask: Just about made it down today to do a few bits thankfully. I used a felt flap preparation disc on the grinder to tidy up the weld on the boot floor and then proceeded to...

Ticked a few things off our to-do list today which I'm pleased about :laughing: Finished Uni a bit earlier than planned today as some lectures finished early/we're called off; what better to do than work on your own car after learning about race cars all day?! Living the dream...:blush: So...

Yes thankyou we've got a pair mate!

List of next steps on the car in order (ish): Boot Floor: Tidy up boot floor & clean up surface for welding. Make a bracket to weld to back of boot floor so that we can weld in the flat floor. Cut out spare wheel well & weld in flat boot floor. Fuel Tank: Work out final position of fuel tank...

Found a spare 10 minutes today in-between getting ready for going back to University and being at work to fit a few things to the car. So we went to fit the PH1 pedal on Friday and didn't realise that it isn't a straight fit to a PH2 pedal box which we have. To save buying a PH1 pedal box I...

Most certainly is lol! Tbh mate we most probably will be as my Aunties live up that way so was thinking stay at their house and then go have a play so I'll give you a shout! Likewise if you ever head down this way to Oulton Park, Donny etc give us a shout!

She most certainly is, it's half hers! She's driven my 133 Cup on track before and can drive haha... I'll let her drive this seems she's paying for half of everything :wink: Real adrenaline junkies lol:tearsofjoy:

Thanks mate means a lot! Slowly starting to take shape now which we're glad of :tired: It's mint when they're on board too like you say haha, she loves it as equally as I do if not more:tearsofjoy:

Like it! 😂 you'll have to pop down and see it once it's finished:blush:

Thanks a lot mate, nice to know someone appreciates all the hard work we put in - really does mean a lot! :smile: I'm near Cheadle and Leek but we work on the car in Stone so not too far from you at all!

Had an awesome time at the charity rally event last weekend and raised a fair bit of money despite the weather and lack of people that turned up :pensive:Usually we raise about 4x the amount we raised over the weekend in just one day... still better than nothing and everyone enjoyed themselves...

All the deliveries turned up - hooray! :laughing: Prepare for lots of pictures below sorry! So we've got... the PH1 ECU, key barrel, key & lock set. PH1 Throttle pedal, throttle body and throttle cable with what I believe to be the ICV. Ready for throttle bodies now...😂😢 (I wish)...

182 boot floor got delivered today, not too sure how we're going to go about welding it in yet as in where to cut out our spare wheel well from. I'll have to do a bit of digging and see what people normally do 🔨 Found the time this evening in between rally prep to get rid of the sound...

Thought the fuel tank was coming next week as I mentioned earlier but about 10 mins after that post it got dispatched which is cool! ETA is Wednesday :grin: Tonight Alex finished painting the inlet manifold and it looks stunning :hearteyes: Will really blend in with our final livery once the...

The 182 boot floor is on it's way and will be arriving this week along with the loom, throttle body & pedal :smiley: We've been busy helping Alex's dad get his car ready for a charity rally event this coming weekend so it's all stations go on that at the moment and we're not worrying about our...
