I know a few of you have track cars, looking to build one on a budget. I have lots of spare sparts. I think i may have a decent base to start with. 1.2 p reg no leccy windows, no central locking, no sun roof.
Best way to go. Obviously i would start with stripping it out and uprating...
Ok i have just finihsed putting my rear disc back on the clio (Mk1 with Rsi rear beam) after having a new bearing pressed in.
Now i have tightened it up. Its really stiff to move by hand (even with teh wheel on)

Or should i have doen...
Just got my new bearing pressed into my rear disc. But cant remember if i just tighten it up with the bar or if i need to leave a little movement in the bearing??

You had'nt sold a car. I really wish i kept my corsa. Wasnt all that much but i think i did well on a small bugdget. 60mm drop on springs and shocks, Gsi interior, 2.0 16v brakes, debaged all round, de rubbing stripped, Vectra handles.
Any body wish they had kept a car???
