Going back to this... The modified front struts held up perfectly at Rockingham the other week and show no more signs of wear. This is with running slicks too, so plenty of stress on them. I added 3mm to each mounting face of the shock so increased the overall thickness by 6mm. More importantly...

Yep.... primer. For now anyway.

Cancelled Cadwell then I take it? Still coming anyway?

There've been plenty, I lack the motivation to bother with this thread though just now. Infact, where did you find it, page 20 or so?!

Yep, be reet.

30mm socket yep. M20x1.5 I think.

Yep, unfortunately. If I had means of getting it about without driving it then it'd be 100% off the road.

Exactly right. There's no way I could run around in mine daily. It generally sits untouched in the garage between trackdays. I get absolutely zero enjoyment from driving it on the road! So I bought le Meg avec b00st :cool:

How far in advance do you need to book a day off? Trackdays are expensive, no 2 ways about it. And Cadwell is generally quite cheap in comparison to other places. What about Oulton Park on 1st September? Via easytrack. £209 if you book now, £239 closer to the date. I can spare a place on...

I could name several who refuse to drive over an hour to get to a track!

Loads about, what are you after?

Do a trackday in it? Fail to see the point of having a stripped out car for the road any more. I don't enjoy driving my Clio unless it's on track.

Be worth a PM to 'coopahstar'.

Some money been spent on this page :( Where/when are you able to hear the flywheel 'ticking', just when under the car or is it quite obvious? What gives away that the flywheel is worn other than the ticking, does it feel different to drive/pull away? I saw the wanted post for an R26 box...

You can't just use a longer fork, you'll need the bracket to lift the clutch cable aswell as the larger pivot bush. Parts can be 172 or Volvo, Volvo part numbers are kicking about somewhere but I don't have them to hand. Worth noting that you'll need to take the gearbox off in order to change...

172 fork, extension bracket and pivot bush, need the lot.

Fit of my OMP in standard form into my Mk1 was pretty crap. So I chopped it out after a year and did it properly!

Yep, they snap quite often, especially if not routed properly. Always use genuine cables too.

16v/Williams are all pretty stiff, not leg ache stiff though..

Does it not turn over? Give the starter solenoid a tickle with a hammer.

No more trackdays for you then? Or do you have another plan for that?

I've been using £30 for 25L cheapo stuff in my track car, £6 an oil change, bish bash bosh.

It's going to USC remember! ^ ;)

yes ^

Re: Mk1 F4R/172'd Track Car Project You're welcome ;) Good work.

Wheres cheapest for some DS3000's?

Yeah stuck on, pretty stubborn but it'll come. Had to clay mine to get the last of the sticky off. Heat it up, that helps.

Yep, Ph2's have the newer style badge on the right, ph1's have the 1*2 style on the left. I removed my M E G A N E lettering and it cleaned the back end up nicely :)

Cheers both :) I'm heading over to Birchdown on Thursday for 5yr cambelt & aux belt change, so I'll get it done after that. Probably when the next RSTuning/TDF group buy happens.
