No, other than losing the ring sticker until i've been there myself.
Wouldn't mind a set of 2118's at some point but the Turini's look good for now.
I need to get my 172 finished really, it's a similar spec (same cams) but more stripped and hopefully has a bit more power
Having owned the Mini for just over a year i was ready for a change, i never really fell in love with Mini and the temptation of pulleys, IC's, coilovers etc was always there and i didn't want to go down the modifying route again. I'll miss the SC whine (and the pops and bangs) but i never had...
I've played online a couple of times this week (first time in ages)
I got in front on the first lap of an A class race only to find a guy in a Hummer had decided to start lapping the wrong way to wreck everyone's race
That's why i prefer the Time Attack races sometimes
I've only started the car up a couple of times since fitting it, the real test will obviously be once it's MOT'd so I can get out for a drive. I didn't fit the decat as I already had my sports cat on the car, even so it seems very loud.
Been back up working on the car today, decided to give the back a clean up.
Started out with a boot full of bits and pieces
Cleared out, could now see how dirty it was
Gave it a quick clean up (forgot to take after pics though).
Then I decided to put the driver's harness in, I used...
Made a quick (and fairly boring) exhaust video, startup and then once warmed up
Done on my iPhone so not the best quality either, i'll do another one outside at some point with my D90.
Decided it was about time i pulled my finger out and got going on getting it back on the road (especially now the weather's a bit better)
It started off well, got the new alternator and battery on and it started first time. Left it running for a while, it got up to temperature and seemed to be...
Been up to the garage today to try and make some progress.
Hit another stumbling block though, the second hand alternator I bought is dead !
So I need to get another alternator (one with a guarantee this time !)
I'm loving the Quattro, done a few upgrades to it but kept it at R3. How big is that extra rear wing you can add on the back !
I think I'm going to give Manual and Clutch another try.
I started playing this again this week
Then I finished season 10 so I decided to have a play at building a high powered American classic (never really used them before). I started off with a standard Dodge Dart Hemi Super Stock (C424) which ended up with 927HP, Twin Turbo's, V10 Viper engine...
Not really had it running yet since i put it on, i'll make a quick vid when i get a chance
It might just be me but it doesn't seem to fit very well, i need to get my brother to take a look now he's back.
I'm wondering if there's two versions of it though, one for Ph1 and one for Ph2 (the...
Not a major update, just a list of new bits i've picked up over the last couple of months
Alternator (mines on it's way out)
TRS 4 Point harnesses
Sparco seat runner kit
Safety Devices rear cage
Hopefully we'll make some progress over the Christmas break on the following jobs so it can be...
I had a few races of multi class online last week, won every race (and i'm far from Pro!)
The trouble i found at first was finding people who raced and not just rammed everyone off
I think I'd rather do a long trip in the Mini than the Ph1. I found the Clio quite noisy on the motorway, plus the fact there's cruise control on the Mini. I do agree it's not the most comfortable car i could have bought but i've always liked them and i'd probably end up switching cars within a...
Well the Ph1's gone as i needed something more comfortable (and reliable). So i picked this up this morning :
It's only done 46k with FSH, it's got full leather, heated seats, heated screen, climate, cruise, sat nav, Harmon Kardon stereo, Alta air intake and a remap.
Had a good drive in...
