Had a few stickers added with companies that have helped out with the car. I have 3 track days and one car show booked for this time home so will be getting a fair bit of use.

Dam there goes that plan will just need to chase up AST or worst case get busy on the lathe at work. I would of thought something like a spring seat should of been a on the shelf service part.

yes i need to know the thread size on the bottom of the shock to get a replacement spring cup. It will be either 2.25" or 2.5" , but could also do with the TPI (threads per inch ). Basically trying to see if the likes of this will fit on the AST thread...

Does anyone know or could they measure the thread diameter and pitch for me please. I need a rear spring seat and ideally want to avoid the AST lead time , so want to see if the likes of a avo/bc/ gaz seat would fit as a lot easier to get off the shelf. Im over seas until next week so unable to...

As above I just had my gripper box rebuilt and was advised to pick an oil that protects the box rather than one that protects the diff. B737 destroyed my syncros in a short time , so no just went for a good quality 75/90. I was also told not to use a shockproof oil as the additives in them can...

The paint flipped between red,orange,gold and green. The way the light is hitting it makes the lines look strange but the body work on it was spot on. The saxo arches and full door mouldings were blended in

My 106 and a mates saxo from back in the day :fearscream: Both cars were daily drivers 19's.

I'm going to have to back out sorry as my Clio is going on a indoor stand. W33brl is going to take my space.

Not good to hear Russ but looks like you have got the removal down to a fine art . Have you used the car much since replacing the bearing in the PMS shifter ? Im still not happy with mine but not sure if better to change all the bearings or just the main stick one .

Can't wait to see what power this makes , like the out of the norm thinking that's went into it. I would love a new car loom with just the basics, already have omex engine loom and eventually want to go with a dash2. But still want to bin the standard Ecu and control unit.

Thanks alot Craig . Ive never actually heard mine from outside, never even heard it in a video will need to get one of use to take it for a few laps one day.

Very nice Craig the spec list is growing fast :)

Thanks :) Im just glad the car is back together and got a few days use out it .

Done two track days this week , Monday which was a wash out and last night that was perfect weather . The change of 5th gear ratio has made a massive difference , as I'm now using 5th at 2 points on knockhill.

This is the calculator site i used http://www.apexgarage.com/tech/gear_ratios.shtml

With the standard 5th and my final drive my box was geared for 138mph at 7500 rpm.

Nope sorry forgot about that I'm on a shorter final drive .

Time for alignment ready for track tonight. Going for -3 deg of camber as the ast's are a lot firmer.

Going by the calls I have mark at 7500 I'm topping out at 123mph so pushing to 8000 should see 131 mph if you are on a 195/50/15 tyre.

Went for the 33/37, will be interesting to see if I end up using it on track or if upping the limiter a little to 7750rpm and holding 4th will be quicker.

Gearbox is back in with new 5th, 3rd syncros , shorter 5th ratio and re built diff. Hope to get alignment done on Monday. I'm book on track on wed but if I get alignment done I will book Monday night aswell.

I was told to run a oil suited to the box rather than the diff , as a diff running on the wrong oil will last longer than a box on the wrong oil.

It's normally lady bank I use aswell. The box is now built hope to get it fitted on Friday , I'm booked on for the TS night on wed and might also book up for the mon night if I can get alignment done on sat/mon

Cheap and easy upgrade for the rubbers is standard ones filled with Sikaflex. Where did you get your alignment done Craig ?

Either can I its getting beyond a joke that's over 6 weeks , even giving the time waiting for the 5th gear and sourcing a new casing I think that's a joke. The part that's annoying me is they messaged me while I was in Malaysia asking for a serial number to order a casing and I explained that...

I wish it was Mark, wasn't planning on spending much on a helmet but seen this and though I want lol

Picked up a cheap spare centre console this week and had it painted yesterday so that is the interior now finished , unless i can pick up a cheap GT2/GT3 rear carpet.

To cheer myself up about still not having a working car I bought myself a new skid lid today , also got myself a alpine star suit.

Having a bit of a nightmare with the rebuild , the gearbox shop noticed a crack in my outer casing and had issues trying to source the correct casing. I'm hoping to have the box back soon , they didn't find anything obvious with the diff but have re plated it and checked preload.

I got my fiber glass tailgate fitted and painted today , only a small saving in weight over my gutted standard part but every little helps. With the passenger seat removed and my lighter wheels I would think the car should now weigh 900kg with fluids.
