Hmmmm ok, I will go outside to have another look.

Yep thats right, the alarm system looks like its been spliced into...the power (red and yellow wires) from engine fuse box and wires running into the doors and hazard lights.

I can hear something turning on it may well be the pump priming. I read on here that the alarm system was retro fitted when the Cups came into the country The alarm siren houses the alarm ECU, so removing this and all components "should" be ok... Your right though there does not seem to be...

"DONT CONFUSE THIS CAR WITH STANDERED 182 THIS CAR IS FRIGHTNING " yep it sure is.

I removed the whole of the oem alarm system (A-pillar sensors, bonnet mech, alarm siren and all wiring) from the track car yesterday and now the car wont start. The engine turns over once or twice but does not fire up. I capped off any exposed wires with heat shrinking tube to eliminate any...

Looking good James, will this car see a passenger seat at all for track days?

Ok may explain the better viewing angle. Agree Cadwell park is my fav UK circuit.

Where have you got your camera mounted Phil, is it a GoPro?

Thanks Morgan, I just double checked on the webpage and it states that Quaife LSD's retain the OEM gear oil (just answered my own question). http://www.quaife.co.uk/shop/products/qdf6m-0

Very nice mate, like that a lot.

Gripper is a open plate and a Quaife is a close diff correct? So would that Castrol oil be ok to use in the Quaife ATB diff?

I will drink to that ;) ​

Very tempted until I saw the price... looks good though

Looking most excellent there...great pics.

What do the oe sump bolts retail at then?

Splendid work, cars looking good.

Sweet, thanks for sharing ;)

Nice one fella, good work in getting that all done with todays crappy Kent weather. Power figures look good, can only imagine how rapid that thing is in a stripped out Cup.

Excellent, will keep an eye out. Im in two minds to cut the gear selector down or to relocate the whole gear shift. Only concern about either is the gear stick hitting the side of the bucket seat in 4th gear as it looks tight.

Is that a plus? I see it has the black optics but thought they had the Titanium mirrors (like oem wheels). great car and refurb looks spot on.

Thats all the Ikea chopping boards are good for... Glad you got the top mounts sorted, project looking good.

Re: sonny172cup "track racer project" Thanks, what are the spacers made out of? My spacer washers arrived today but they dont look good...also they are in stainless steel (been advised not to use SS as they can flex). Thanks buddy I also have a list ready to go on that site, just waiting to...

That head cam is giving me motion sickness. Good view though.

Looking good Pete, what size is the rev counter, same size as others?

Agree, they are a nightmare, hard to navigate. I do have the Haynes manual however its for the 1,6, its seems "ok" as a guide, But im no expert.

Bloody hell, good reaction tony. Could have been lot worst. Well done. Enjoyed watching that race.

Re: sonny172cup "track racer project" Cheers Pete, I too talked myself into keeping the heater, but then thought I will go the T7 route, if that fails I will prob end up getting a heated windscreen. Where did you see the bulkhead fittings? Was it on T7designs.com?

Re: sonny172cup "track racer project" Thanks, Ok thats put my mind at rest. It seemed pretty stable, but just waiting on the solid spacers as not keen on the nuts.

Re: sonny172cup "track racer project" Yep the Recaro Pole Positions I had in weight 7kg each, the side frames and mount pushed this up to 9.5kg each. The Revolutions I have in there now are 10kg each without mounts and frames (due to the wrap around design).
