Went for a Saturday Easter blast with a couple of MK1 buddies, had a mint time until the circlip fell out the gearbox and I lost all drive. Cars still abandoned at the pub 3 days later, f**king thing. Lol
I use a Garmin Venu 2, paid 220 quid for it a year ago, works mint with android and can do everything I need. Pay with it, does offline Spotify so can jog with tunes without my phone and all the health status you'll ever need. Great bit of kit
Selling NOS genuine jacking points, feel free to create a bidding frenzy to line my pockets people

As in cuts out? Could be the idle valve sticking, so I'd start by removing and cleaning that. It sits on the back of the inlet manifold near the throttle body
Awesome day at Cadwell Thursday, car was faultless all day and track dried out by around 11am so semi slicks were a go!
Have right giggle playing about with mate Dan in his 172 cup, wasn't much in it really despite him having fancier suspension and a few more track orientated mods.
Overall...
Got the passenger frame into the car after a bit of a faff......as in broken stud on the inner rail where it bolts under the car in the exhaust tunnel. s**t design that, and I'd copper greased it and still snapped. Thankfully just scavenged the runner off the original seats and sorted.
Taxed it...
Cars back at home now, been a while since I updated but latest mod installed today, well one of the two anyway
Jon Fossard extra low frames for the Recaros.
Measured before and after and the drivers side now sits 38mm lower than before, perfect!
Also have the suspension refresh to go into...

Popped my BNIB splitter on eBay, bid away
Cheers all, there are more plans a foot into this year, over the winter I've bought some bits to go into the car:
- refurbished rear beam with new bushes
- Clio cup stiffer rear torsion bars
- 172 Cup gearbox with Gripper diff
Anglesey booked in June currently as the first one but may do...
Tried them all, for a daily best are sportline imo. H&R close second but just a tad too crashy and I'm happier with the car more compliant for the amount of miles I do over sitting a bit better to look at
