Re: My 172 Cup (T5MY G) 191.2 Bhp & 173.4 Torque
looks well mate good to see the stickers have gone. love the no dash look get it nice and tidy and itll be great. im sure i bought a jp4 off of attero may be a different person tho.
A little update for the new year, it feels like its been ages since i last touched it. luckily before leaving it last i got a car cover off ebay exactly the same as what halfords sell but for 20 quid.
Bargain
Then christmas came and id asked for some gloves for when the time comes to drive...
if your going to be going without a headlight make your own, the filter in these are tiny get a silicone hose for off the throttle bodie and some straight tube with a filter on the end behind the passenger light.
a little update the longer i go on with this the more im fed up of not having a car to drive mainly due to a mate posting vids up every week of the track days hes doing.
i had a week off work so a little more work done, far to cold to make any real progress. and seeing bits ive done needing...
More engine bay bare metal then primered pics....
With the welding all done it was a case of taking the lot back to bare metal cleaning what little bits i had missed a little bit of filler work some seam sealer and primer but this time with zinc 182.
i felt like i had made good progress but it...
Cheers mate.
Another update, more on the front end done today, i think *fingers crossed* that's the front end done in terms of new bits and welding. yayyy. its just a matter of the rear passenger side arch being done now.
Firstly i made some 3mm plates up for the jacking points to add some...

Haha thanks adam think I must be. Had a few deliveries today firstly the satchell lower brace from the rallye register group buy. And lastly a nifty little tool from Colin on eBay.
Just a little update before Thursday if the weathers good ill have a full day on the car finally.
ive started using zinc 182 primer its rust proof so i don't need a top coat for it to stop rust developing perfect for what i need. i did the passenger front arch to see how it fared and a few...
sounds like it could be alot of fun mate best of luck with it, agreed ditch the brembos weighty expense larger 306 brakes with decent disks pads and fluid will do. if your racing it does it need a respray? use that money in other areas imo. i have a strut brace for sale if thats of any interest...
Another day off means more time spent on the rallye. Today was a day we could make a decent amount of progress decent weather and a early start.
We started off with the strut tower plates as we had everything measured up and got stuff to fit so we could crack on welding stuff in.
With...
cheers guys, means alot.
another update, didn't get to do much today the poor weather isnt good for working with bare metal and it puts a downer on things. i should be out doing more but the weather and seeing rust is taking away any enthusiasm i had to work on it. i really need to get in in a...
A little more to add, took the primer back and added some kurust. i think when ive got all the original paint under seal and rust off ill take the whole bay back and kurust the lot and then stick fresh primer and paint on.
Gave the main mount a trim ill run some weld around the top.
Stuck...
just a little done today. mostly cleaning a cutting didnt have much time so not much done plus the area i was doing required more time as the inner arch is in a worse way.
I tidied the bottom of the bulkhead there was a lot of seam sealer here so took a while. also the bit the wishbone...
lol its not just me ive had a mates dad helping with the welding etc.
Ive done some more today, i cut the rest of the scuttle panel/bulkhead off as it was going to be replaced.
I started on the strut brace. I decided to make my own and have it fixed into position.
making up some tabs...
