Looking at your figures that Seat have, you are well under the gross train weight. 1870 + 1500=3370kg You just need to find a trailer that is stamped up with a 1000kg pay load and a gross weight of 1500kg and you are sorted. The 1500kg on the cars tow weight at 12% is for novices. The 8% is for...

This helps... So your gross train weight needs to be 3500kg. Your gross vehicle weight needs to be 2000kg or less to make your tow weight 1500kg.

This is a really hard subject to explain but I'll give it a go.... So with your tow vehicle I would be extremely surprised if a seat leon can tow 1600kg???? You defo need to double check that! Small modern hatchback are usually around 1000kg maximum tow weight some dont even do that! But the...

Right, bit of a break from writing pages on here but I'll do abit more. Next I needed to get the brake lines finished prior to the engine going back in. Starting from the mastercylinder I fixed the front caliper lines in position and tightened the joints. The blank that came in the proline kit...

Is that independent rear suspension?

Haha! Weve all been there working on these things!! You need two people really. One in the car and one underneath

Will these top plates be camber and castor adjustable? Aswell as removable? Removable means removing the strut tops turrets and welding brackets in to hold the top plates in?

Normally @NorthloopCup will post the gearbox back to you with reverse gear selected. So it's just a case of sliding the linkage back onto the gearbox link shaft and then test and adjust until you can select all of the gears. Really you should have marked the linkage before you removed it so you...

All I would need to do Is copy mine

I was just saying to @E9DYG if I had the tools to make the kits for the forum I would do it.

Employees required then

I've bought the full 172cup 4port bulkhead kit and some front braided lines. Yes they were late, but the product was top notch. Fit like a dream. It's a shame the owner is a pleb.

What about some castor adjustable, camber adjustable, bottom arms to compliment the RC kits ?

We all know the quality of your work and your engineering background and attention for detail. These will fly off the shelves once you've finished testing and can put your seal of approval on them. Next you need to create a decent 4pot brake package that fits under 15s with out have it...

This is my mates Mk2 Golf with a VR6 lump on AST suspension and a diff. He let me past because I was all over him, then he tried to keep up.

Nice write up, I'm sure you are aware of a certain RC setup that fails on track. You definitely know your stuff regarding engineering so I'm sure your kit will perform perfectly and reliably. I also know what you mean regarding the turn in! I have Mr Northloopcup's setup and at Croft in August...

Do it, then it's done. Don't have to worry about it

I thought that's what you told me

George at RTR will sort you a clutch at a good price. The cable unless its ooking tired or creaking I would leave

I believe Mr @NorthloopCup once told me the standard flywheels don't like being skimmed?

You can make some tabs to turn the squib m8, or get a hub with it already on

I didn't know that m8 but now you say it that makes sense. The probe method will work on any vehicle though, not just our old bangers. Plus not all ignition lives are 12.v either

Next I moved on to fitting the EPAS column and ECU. I had previously bought the Ebay controller, and the ECU and column off another forum member. I had a quick look over the instructions and then went to my local auto electrician to get the power cable and connectors required. I started by...

Yes m10 buddy

Good question I'll take a look when I get home

On to the next stage which is the engine. I don't have anything planned regarding pulling the engine to bits, but whilst it's out and easy to get to I decided to change the sump gasket and the crank seal behind the flywheel. Also I couldn't put the dirty rusty engine back into an immaculate...

I just didn't close the bonnet catches properly, or at all

Hey I did the bonnet right..... The first time

Thanks m8, I like things done once and done right

What sort of price will you be putting on these?
