Small update, I've been pretty busy the past few days so not really had a chance to get much done on the car. I got a call yesterday to say the cage was ready and that it would be out for delivery today, sat in all day and typically it turns up at 5pm so pretty much a whole day lost, hey ho...

What sort of bits would you be looking for?

Lol, no worries. I was just trying to keep my mind occupied while I was away at work, thinking about where to mount a smaller tank and an alternative exhaust route, all will be revealed in due time ;) I've got the use of the workshop for as long as I need it but strictly speaking it isnt...

Finally got the workshop finished :cool: or at least to a stage where it's good enough that I can crack on with the car, i'll just add bits to it as I go Got the car in about 3pm and continued removing the interior, This was as far as I'd stripped it working from my lock up...

I'll keep this updated and ill do my best to take picutres of progress, sometimes I get drawn in and too focussed on what I'm doing and forget to stop and take pics. I phoned Custom Cages the other day and ordered the cage, went for the full multipoint in T45, hopefully it should be ready for...

It's been a quick 3 weeks, time to go back to work tomorrow :( Still, i've managed to get the workshop built and it's pretty much ready for the car, put the second coat of paint on the floor this morning so it'll be properly dried by time I get home. All thats left to do is to put up a few...

Well, I went to see the industrial unit but unfortunately it wasnt what I'd hoped for, the unit it's self was ok but the location wasnt so good, bit too secluded. Thankfully a mate came to the rescue and offered me some space in his barn, and free rein to do what I wanted with the space. So for...

What car do you intend using as a tow car? I'm in the same position as you regarding towing and only having B entitlement, I thought my only option was to do the B+E test but in actual fact I can tow the Clio legally on my current licence. Taken from the direct.gov website; Category B...

Hi, I'm looking for a replacement brake servo for a 172 cup, mine is quite badly corroded at the bottom as are most of the others i've seen. A new one is nearly £200, but i've seen lots of clean looking ones for sale off 1.2 16v models, from the photos at least, they look phyiscally the same...

I appreciate that, but it was just in response to another post. I have offered a few suggestions but trying to diagnose an electrical fault over the net isn't easy. As has been said already by others, the only way is to systematically work your way through everything, checking for continuity...

This is why i'm making my own loom! that way I'll know exactly how it's all done and have my own diagrams etc Once I get round to it, ill see if there's any interest in making some extra ones but it would be a very minimalistic loom with the bare minimum of compenents required to function. I...

Is it getting an ignition live though? if none of your dash etc is powering up it's unlikely the ecu is getting an ignition live

How did you wire the kill switch? Did you use the auxiliary contacts?

How is the Omex loom tied into the car? Do you know the connections ie +v, Ign+, tacho, fuel pump trigger etc. I dont know the details of the Clio loom so I cant point you to a specific area but if you have a multimeter or a test light it shouldnt be too hard to figure out whats wrong. I...

Still no pictures i'm afraid but I did make some progress on the car while I was home. Got most of the interior out but left the drivers seat and clocks etc to allow it to be driven. Also made a start removing the tar sound proofing etc most of it is coming off easy enough but I'm not sure how...

Whats left of your standard loom? Does your Omex/TB set up not have it's own loom or does it still use part of the std one?

I'd go with the square cut out, gives you the option to pass things through the window if need be I'm pretty sure most of these kill switches will be the same, have a look at this http://www.pegasusautoracing.com/Images/L/4430-inst.jpg

You've not made a fail mate, cutting the + is fine but I assume you know that you also need to wire in the auxiliary contacts on the cut off switch? The N/O contact is used to kill the ignition and the N/C contact is used to dissipate the remaining charge coming from the alternator, via a...

Ingliston MLR sprint is on the 24th of July this year. I dont have a deadline for getting the car built, just going to work on it as and when I can, but I doubt I'll be doing anything in it this year.

Hello, I've been lurking on here for a few years now but figured it was about time I posted. I'm currently working away offshore and I forgot to bring my memory stick with the pictures on it so please excuse the ramble, I'll update this with some pictures when I get home. I sold my Spec C...
