Not been apart since it was built before oulton no mate. Will do once its back together, just front ride height or rear as well? russ

Nothing untoward mate no, why what you thinking? russ

A pic from all of the six laps completed yesterday, can't say if it feels any different with the hubs on. Certainly feels nice to drive at 50% anyway! Just about managed to get my brakes bedded in. Russ

Not really mark, looks like its picked up on the shaft but not sure why, whether its because its sat over the winter not doing anything I don't know, funny how it's been fine for a test day and 2 races then suddenly decides its had enough coming out of winter hibernation. Russ

I can't get the seal until monday so just gonna get as much done as I can before then, got a new water pump to fit while its out and I've ordered another 4 litres of gearbox oil. Russ

Well to my eyes it's just gearbox oil that was leaking into the bell housing and with all the clutch dust in there has run out black, no signs of any engine oil leaks, back of the flywheel and crank seal are bone dry as is the block under the stat housing. Gearbox input shaft seal is visibly...

Bigrez, integra Dc2 is the best car I've ever had out of all my stuff, I do plan on getting a other at some point as a nice weekend toy. Russ

No probs Neal, seen the red caddy in the paddock. The engine is out, just stripping it down now Russ.

Black flag for drive by noise even though it passed static testing easily. Then I've got a decent engine oil and possible gearbox oil leak too. More info when I've pulled the motor tonight. Russ

So, this cliosport curse! On my way home from oulton testing already! Russ

Thsts the only regret on my part, I sold mine for £6k 6 years ago! Doh! russ

My old E30, looked great just didn't live up to the hype IMO. Russ

Thanks dan, you're keen reading from start to finish! Russ

Not a massive fan of the E30's much prefer the E36's. Owned an E30 M3 years ago and they're the most over rated car I've ever owned/driven. Russ

Cheers Martin, would be nice for it to be a little lighter but that's not going to happen without getting silly I don't think. Russ

Yes James getting a voltage reading isn't a problem from the sender just the fact that when the analogue input (no. 2 in this case) is enabled it stops my water temp, via can from the ecu, being displayed on the dash, it just shows zero. Russ

Lol its a barn Dave, or was. Russ

So turns out there was very little fuel in it, approx 15 litres so makes it approx 875kg with no driver or fuel, not bad considering the cage must be close on 50kgs. Anyway, had it on the ramp last night and spanner checked everything. Changed the brake fluid to castrol srf and bled the system...

Haha not likely tony 9xxkg with me in there ;) Russ

Upto now maybe! Still time before Rockingham for some stress! russ

Another few steps closer, had the suspension setup at Blink in Winsford yesterday. Wasn't planning on adjusting the rear but it had moved/settled since last geo so a couple of shims required to get it back to where it should be, gained a touch of toe out on the rear too which should help. Also...

Just list unfortunately from Tweeks although they were willing to discount the 48's but they were another £200 a set which is silly. Russ

Jackjack its the fuse/relay box, standard uch and fuse boxes are long gone. Ordered a set of Dunlops today so will get them fitted to my spare ultralegs on Saturday. Russ

Sorry to hear this James, you've certainly been through the mill with your gearbox(s) I'm terrified of taking mine out now due to the pre season cs curse! Hope you get sorted out mate, be interesting to see what the fault is that's cause that damage anyway. Russ

Think you two need to leave poor Henry alone! Grant, good idea building the car to blue book regs then at least its ready to race if you want to in the future, get sling to some Tricolore Trophy races this season and have a chat with some of us and watch some good racing. I'm guessing custom...

No problem grant, race car or just trackday car? Sonny, if I can get a deal on some A048's then they're my first choice otherwise going to try a set of the Dunlop Dz03j's as they're supposed to be good and well priced, currently have a worn set of R888's that weren't new when I got them as my...

Told you it needed hoovered Tony Hunter, cable, cable tie ends everywhere! Catch tank mounted back up, half the scuttle on and bonnet back on. Still need some of that nimbus heat shielding for down behind the ex manifold too. Might grab some at the weekend from Tweeks. On the lookout for...

Just seen your updates Dave, great stuff. Got a trackday booked at oulton on Friday 21st march. Still in two minds whether to do the Rockingham test on the Friday before the race, will decide after oulton I think. Russ

Awesome stuff Dave, keep us updated. Russ

Thing is Adam, everybody that's 'ready' now had had problems in testing, Dave at snetterton and tony at the weekend! Think a last minute finish is the way forward! russ
