I used a company called TSR vapour blasting for all my plating. About half of the parts they tumbled/plated and the other half were soaked in brown vinegar with hours invested cleaning up on the wire-wheel. The results from the tumbled parts were incredible and whilst the wire wheel parts were...

I would agree flood. In a previous life when I used to categorised cars for total loss, flood could be anyting from B to cat D (that's how long ago it was) unless it was an anticipated health risk and then B. A was full fire or life lost. I specifically remember a merc which was totally...

I've had mixed experiences with string, sometimes spot on, othertimes a pain due to leveling of the setup, car and keeping the wheel clamped. For the time it takes on a car with minimal adjustment for me it's better to pay £35. Granted it adds up quickly if you like to tinker with the suspension...

There's a fuse across the kill so the switch can be taken out but still allow the car to be locked on the remote. The link on it's own is a flawed design and requires a on-off-on dpdt switch to enable either "20a" remote locking or "cut off resistor" as without current flows directly from the...

Sent you a message mate. Expect it to be be small relays in the engine bay fusebox.

@colesy is now the lucky owner of this car. It's a great shame I didn't get to use the car to it's full potential, particularly on the ring like it was built for but life moves on and I'm very happy it's gone to a home which will drive it hard! Thank you to everyone who watched the build...

this is what I did previously

£7250 now guys. Shame but have a new car and could do with the space. 5 cars doesn't make sense.....

it’s a separate bracket which you can bolt onto a pedal box which doesn’t have it.

Genuine racks are often cheaper than you think. On the BMW they are made by Thule and cheaper than Thule.

Car is now on ebay for £8250. Sad to potentially let it go for this amount but the likelihood of me having the time to tinker or do a trackday is so slim. Anyone that follows this thread surely knows this is quite a steal for whoever buys it!

Haha always the way. I suspect a relay based on that report, got millions here if you want any spares, all going in the bin otherwise. Radio isn’t in the main can network so that would only be a strange coincidence.

12.8v is fine. I would try to get it plugged into CLIP as you may have a UCH imob code which needs clearing. Methodically go through each fuse and check them, however, I would stress that any blown fuse generally indicates another issue which needs addressing. Do you get any power to things...

Correct need an n3 UCH. Much cheaper to buy a whole ECU kit from a car in the UK, will be less than £50. UCH, ECU and key fobs makes up a whole kit. seem to recall it being only one wire from the UCH up to the rain sensor plug but it goes through the r301 connector at the top of the dash so...

think my cup is slightly better value than this

I think you're refering to a leak down test. After a minute of running you should get very little in the bottle. These injectors are busted

your EGR valve is gone (this is your lack of power until 3k) and your injectors are on the way out (air in lines)

I won't say it's died because it hasn't but I changed jobs during my cup build so am a little down on time and actually not done anything on the cars recently because I'm working on the house! With that said there are one or two videos on the horizon :)

Still for sale everyone. Haven't driven a mile since going to Brands Hatch. Had it up for £10k but willing to listen to reasonable offers as I want to see the car go whole and used.

these docs will help

I changed my cup from no ABS to ABS because it's not obtrusive and saves your bacon when you need it the most. For me deleting ABS is one of those things done pretty frequently on track cars for no real reason other than to save a meaningless amount of weight to the amateur driver.

Thanks dude, very kind of you, it's a hoot! Brands Hatch 5th August Before the second outing of the year the Cup needed a few bits doing to bring it back up to spec. As a quick summary for those which haven't seen the last post, when I was at Snett on the shakedown the manifold to turbo gasket...

That was pretty nicely edited. Not that I really have much input as my videos are pretty boring but agree with the above comments regarding length of the video. You really want to tell the story in the shortest time possible and have 0 waffle, be very harsh and ask yourself if each word you...

Videos on my car and build. The turbo element was about £2500. Changed to a hybrid paddle/organic RTS clutch from @Kev@KAM which more than adequately holds the power. Speak to Alex @ aw motorworks

Few things I would check, if the dust boot is broken anywhere, if the piston is corroded, if the sliders freely move (is not rubber grease them), whether the caliper slider bolts are correctly torqued, if the pads can move freely in the carrier.

Likely to be the memory card. I've had this on go pros and other cameras when the card is up the creek. My hero 8 freezes when I take it off charge and then runs its self out, very helpful. My refurbished gopro certified hero 3 records the audio out of sync with the video by a random amount...
