Re: WTF "appreciation" thread Too many to post individually but there's a whole world of WTF on this link...

Oh my god gutted I would've liked that! Your cup is a seriously smart bit of kit! With regards to the engine cover it was a tough descision whether to bother or not but we do want the car to look as finished as possible and to be honest it's 4 screws to whip it back of again should i chose to...

Back again!! Cheers for the comments lads :o be interesting to see what it goes like although there's been plenty of people who have suggested it might not handle with being so light. We'll see eh. Today was a fair bit more productive but probabaly only because we did quite a lot of the...

Right, day one of our assault on the Clio and we've made some pretty good progress however it was seriously slowed by the staff in KFC and the dustcart blocking a thin road who stole an astounding amount of time from our day. We Basically spent today getting everything ready to drop the engine...

Double post, delete please. Sorry

Well just a little update here. The shell is now safely back in the garage ready for mine and Moo's assault on it next week as we're off work. Also a remarkable 19 days late my birthday present arrived. The stunningly sexy and expensive GENUINE carbon fibre GT mirrors which will be...

That shell also has the advantage of an almost bottomless luggage compartment too. ;)

It's only really gonna be the lack of use means the tumblers in the boot lock get stuck in place by light corrosion meaning the key doesn'shift them. All you need to do is use something to lift the flap to one side and squirt some lube (WD40 with the stray is ideal) in through the key hole. Then...

Thankyou all for the comments it certainly spurs us on to know people are excited to see what we're up to. Northy, sorry missed your question. At the moment the plan is to get the car assembled and then make a choice about stickers then but they won't be a full graphic kit if we do just a few...

Oh my god thats an amazing cage!!! I love it. Bet it was a total pain to fit hats off to ya.

Well it's been another busy and very exciting morning! Got into work nice and early with a bit of a hangover and found the car looking like this which blew us away. Still standing there staring at it wasn't what we came in to do so we set about fitting the roof. To begin...

The plan is not to remove the wings thats why we spent a morning lining everything up before it was painted so as we could have the wings sprayed in situe for that factory look. Underneath is painted same as the bodywork and staying like it as i'm a 'shiny freak' LOL

I know the arches look terrible fella but believe me it's just because the lights had gone off in the booth and I wasn't sure how to turn them back on. They're as good as the rest of it but there wasn't a fire escape window shining on them so wait until it's unmasked and you'll see it all looks...

... Sorry about SO many images we're just THAT excited!!!!!! Cheers for looking!

Just recieved a text from Jamie at work (i'm off today) the shell is painted.... Pics to follow..... :evil:

Re: My mk1 track car blog Thats probabaly about right without a no claims i'm afraid. I was planning to use my 6yrs no claims on mine as not having no claims on the nissan insurance makes a much smaller difference as it's only 175quid tpft. Might be worth seeing how much more for the pug...

PROGRESS!!!!!!! I'll let the pictires do the talking..... We'll keep you updated as things develop

Ok ok fella's we were kinda holding out to make the post that we'd been so desperate to make... White valver shell. However a super busy paintshop has put paid to that but i've been assured it and all the panels will be painted by next weekend. However we've not been slacking in the alapsed...

Ahhh now i see! This is turning into a propper little weapon now!! Do you have the side mounts already?

Oooooohhhhhhhhhhh......... I'll check in tomorrow!

It sounds to me as if one of the wires on the ISO plug you've bought aren't in the right place for your model of car. If the feed which goes to the standard stereo to dip the display when the lights are on is infact feeding the wire which would mute your new stereo when a phone kit is wired into...

Re: My mk1 track car blog This is awesome progress fella and it's so good to see an overall view of the car it looks so sweet and purposful. As Cookson said the tyres are such a touch!!! Keep it coming mate so i can have a good ok round it at trax.

Nice job!!! Very smart looking motor!

All over the rear end and most the way down the quarter if i remember rightly

Saw a very nice looking GDI stickered Clio 1*2 in the BP station on the A6 in bedford, also fitted with buckets and some very track looking tyres. We were in a black vauxhall Vx220 staring blankly lol. Was it you?

Keeo it coming!...............

Ours is wired, Orange to pink, Beige to white and worked fine before we whipped it out.

Our engine is out and on the floor at the moment, if you don't have an answer by tomorrow afternoon I'll go check for you

Hold up, Hold up! Thats an aircon pump I see there!! Not slinging that away to save wait and gain a couple of hp??

Brilliant! Seriously brilliant I love to see a good job well done, I shall certainly be following this thread!
