Good idea

That looks really good, how many rattle cans did it take? Out of interest what paint did you use?

Cheers Adam, I'm looking at spraying it hopefully - either rattle cans or by compressor

The thickness it needs to be! Christ its not a complex question, how much paint would be required to paint the interior of a clio? If you don't know don't bother replying

Precisely - I thought that would have been obvious

As title really

A048!

Does anyone have a wiring diagram for the 172/182? Failing that can you tell me what each relay does and where it is located? ( im only interested in start and charge, lights, pumps, wipers, fans etc. Not climate or any frivolities lol Cheers

Update! Spent some more time working on the new shell. Sealed around the new wheel well plate I also managed to get the engine running with the Phase 1 ECU and loom ....

Thread resurrection! Does the phase 2 pump regulate the pressure mechanically? i.e its pre-set within the pump and receives no information from the ecu? Therefor you can run a phase 2 pump in a phase 1? (with correct rail etc.)

Unless you have some kind of major valve stem oil seal issue then it can only really be the rocker gasket

Not of the build manual, If you could send me a copy of that it would be great!

Standard or the gt spec?

Mine has never had an issue like that, I've had it for two years now. The only thing it did do was not turn off, that was only once though.

You can also run a looped standard rack

Build manual or parts catalog,

I saw you had put an entry in! The car has 500lb springs in the standard position so equivalent of 250lb on a full coilover. What does yours use spring wise?

No welding was going to take place, it was riveted and the P40'd over. Still got the other silver shell, just going to swap all the components over

Well it was mainly the fact it was riveted as to why I removed it. When removed the panel all one corner was rusty, by the time I'd cut it back it didn't fit anymore!

No not had any seam welding. The cage is been put in very tightly, so all the small gaps between the cage and the chassis where they almost touch have been welded together. It should be very stiff! all the unused brackets have been taken out - not really anything left to remove!

Not really shell wise, I just have to fill all the gaps between the swages arounf the wheel well plate with sikaflex and make it look pretty!

A couple of photos of the plate welded in place....

Update time! A plan has been brewing for some time to reshell the car into a new shell with a weld in cage. I picked up a new shell from sheffield last year and had a custom cage fitted by RED motorsport in deeside. Custom cages 6 point weld in with some extra bars of my choice. Now this has...

+1 for the wiring diagrams!

Thats quite a difference guys!

I once left a broken rally car for two years without looking at it! it pissed me of that much!

How thick is the steel that makes up the boot floor? I want to order some steel but can't get time to go to the workshop to measure it myself Cheers

Have they used a jig to set the front turrets in place?

incredible, truly incredible

I don't disagree with you, somewhere like Eypnt you want something nice and stable because of the undulations. Somewhere like caerwent or weeton rear toe-out could be a benefit, due to all the slow-ish speed corners. For now I will leave the toe out off though, and develop the car without. I...
