Surely with the role centre kit your geo will be correct again and not need to go crazy on the castor?

How much caster are you aiming for?

So the kit replaces the high pressure pipe and has an inline oil cooler rad if I understand correctly?

What's the plan? Redrill the hole further forward for more castor?

Nice sunny Sunday, perfect for fitting shiney parts... So I have the Recon Gaz gha struts with 550lbs springs and revalved to suit, with PMS solid top mounts freshly plated and fitted with new bearings from PMS. The fresh plated hubs with new bearings modified by Mark to use his role centre kit...

Butyl tape is another option

The water probably drips off the window onto the inside of the door card and traces back and leaks into the cabin that way.

All doors have a weather membrane and all doors leak water past the outer scraper seals into the bottom of the door. You can change the seals as many times as you like it will just be a waste of money. These are 15+ year old cars and everyman and his dog will have been inside the door at...

So I took all my nice new shiney bits to work and built the subframe up. I bolted the rack back on whilst it was easy to get to. The centre bushes on the subframe where a b*****d to fit, they are so tight to get the metal clip back over them and the bolt in. Took me longer to fit them than...

Think I paid £100 cash m8

STILL waiting for my bits from the platers! So figured I could start putting some bits back on as I was running out of storage space. Servo back one with the cup master cylinder and started running the Proline cup internal braided line kit. I put the engine mounts back on, just slack as they...

Why do you need clear coat? get a solid 2k paint

Ok so you said you brush painted the first time? Did you key the origional paint before brush painting the colour you applied. Also what type of paint did you use. 2k will reach with certain paints. If you keyed the origional paint I would get a cheap orbital sander with some 400grit discs and...

Yea I know, watching it turn is more interesting than most TV shows

At this point I was waiting on the nuts and bolt at the platers, so I figured I have gone this far I might aswell go the whole hog. So I blasted my 182 mani and painted it with 1200°c exhaust enamel. I also sand blasted all of the engine mounts Nice before and after pic. I painted all the...

I looked at my front calipers and figured I wanted to refurbish them but I couldnt be bothered to do them myself so i boxed them up and sent them to Biggredcalipers, I asked which of their coatings would withstand track temperatures. I was told they use stove paint which will take 900°c so...

Once the arches were done I moved onto the engine bay. I removed all the rust using the wire wheel and then sanded the repair areas to feather the edges out, scotch bright to key for the primer, paint and laquer. I also fitted the reflect-a-gold to the bulkhead, which is a nightmare to fit as...

That's a very good question. He was a Vet and had his own practice. Dr Duffy I think he was called, in his 60's

I forgot to say that I also cut away the metal bracket which the arch liner clips onto which always scrubs on the wheels when you've lowered your car.

Now that pretty much everything was stripped out of the engine bay and wheel arches and I stupidly cleaned every up, I could see the rusty bits 🤬 Which is not acceptable for me.... So out the wire wheel came and I removed any surface rust I could find. Around the brake pipe brackets and the...

Thought people would have jumped at the chance!!

For anyone who doesnt know the difference between a 2port ABS master cylinder and the cup 4port master cylinder, heres the difference

Whilst the engine bay was completely empty I figured I would give it a good clean up to get rid of the grim and dirt. I borrowed my father in laws little steam cleaner and started cleaning. Good little tool, didnt have to use any chemicals just a microfiber cloth to wipe it off after. I...

So its come to my attention via a WhatsApp message that I'm not portraying the ClioSport gearbox building God very well with my tongue in cheek humorous remarks about him, so I must let you all know the truth about him... Hes bloody useless🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣!!! Anyone who knows Mark knows his work is...

Eventually @NorthloopCup stopped dragging his heels and got my gearbox rebuilt with gripper diff fitted. Set up for trackdays so I dont have to service it so much. He instructed me to buy some Redline MT 90 75w90 GL4 gearbox oil to fill it with. So I set off to collect it on a sunny sunday...
