How painful a task is it, I'm very lazy and get bored easily. Just a screwdriver and Stanley knife?

The cars been built for 75% trackdays / 25% road use, including chucking the golf clubs in the back or if i can't be arsed to get the other car out of the garage then driving down the supermarket etc. But i do have to drive it to trackdays which can be easy enough e.g Brands or a bit further...

Blue, with private reg R20 something

I was in the Porsche.

Apologies not sure what happened with my English there, i meant to say.... "the guy did say that it was a grey area, the roll cage being under the top sweep of the window wiper, some people might fail it. Anyway here's some semi decent snaps." How do i edit a post?.... err just seen the edit...

172 Cup Track Car Well it sailed through the MoT, the guy did say that for that it was a grey area witht he top of the roll cage above the screen falling under the top sweep of the window wiper, anyway here's some semi decent snaps. Dunlop Direzza 02's on 2118's for the track

Hello mate. You got up off the floor yet :-) I don't think I can, dropping it down at Philip Birds fo an MoT, they're having it 8-1pm then going to see 'True Grit' at the cinema then I'll be pissed from that point. Sunday it's yer muvvers b'day if I remember righly so have to be another day...

I just got rid of 360hp / 812kg worth of elise, fancied a change my plan with this is to keep it and use it to improve my track skills, I'll be modding at a slow pace now, I thought this would be a nice starting point. I didn't want to do too much to the engine straight away, I wanted handling...

I missed this, nice looking car mate!! I wish i had the patience to wash a car that thoroughly, i just get bored really really quickly!

There were a few niggles along the way which required quite a lot of labour cost. One of the downsides of being mechanically inept. there was 100hrs labour, thank god Mark was very generous on this front or it could have been a lot bigger bill.

Aye it hasn't been cheap, i'd better not dwell on the cost. Good job i won't have to sell it any time soon At least this is going on me rather than house, holidays, wife etc. My little indulgence.

I forgot to mention, the only bit i'm not happy about at the moment is there is alot of play when you're in gear, quite a sloppy gearbox, i might look at one of those short shift kits.

Well i picked the car up last night a couple of days earlier than planed it's the first time i've seen it since dropping off. I'm very happy, it's certainly given the old girl a new lease of life. I had to drive back from Harlow to Billericay and decided to use the A414 and country lanes which...

I bought a 52 plate 172 Cup back in July last year for £2200, it had 72k on the clock, the service book had been lost but it had receipts (inc cam belt) and a host of old MoTs, the HPI came up clear, the intention was to have it as a basic run around and use my other car as the track car. At the...

Yep, what a perfectionist, i gave the car to him two months ago, 100 hrs labour plus all the parts i think it's going to be quite special

So for what i'm looking to use it for how much should i spend, don't want overkill, but happy with £200 if need be. Thanks guys for answering so promptly

The reason for me just giving the seats away is otherwise i'm going to skip them, i really can't be arsed to haggle over a few quid

Next weekend i'm going out with the 911uk lot to Battlesbridge if you fancy it. £15 for the Sunday lunch though

Okay sh!t didn't expect this many PM's, okay to make it fair PM me, i will honestly put all the names in a hat and get the missus to choose one, they're in Harlow at the moment so no good picking them up tonight. They're A1 condition, slightly shiney on the drivers side by door

How much for a rubbish one, how much for a good one?

Collection only mate i'm afraid, although depends if you have a yacht in Monaco and are offering me a free couple of weeks with some models?

Just thought i'd say thanks to the Cliosport.net population, you're a good bunch that answer questions promptly and to the point. It's certainly helped me achieve what i want and thats building (with Mark Fish's expertise) a damn good fun and reasonably cheap track car. Although don't ask how...

Hi I'm getting my car back on Wednesday after being built into a track car, i've got the standard Turnins with 16" Toyo R1R's for wet trackdays and normal road use and 2118's with Dunlop slicks for track use, i need a trolley jack and a torque wrench, can anyone recommend some? Also any...

I just got an email from the guy that's building my car, he's bought the R1R's, i'll try these next

Not at all fussed about looks. Good point made about the trackdays

Thats what Morg172 has just recommended. Can't be bad then if two of you say that's the way to go.

Really!!! Nice and cheap to, how are they on dry roads as they'd be my daily tyre

I've got Braided hoses and racing fluid as well. I suppose the best thing is to see how i get on and make an informed decision rather than jumping in. I saw a Willwood setup out the box for sale in the classifieds for £700, thought it wasn't to expensive.

I've got Brembo HC's and the Fedorra (?) pads on the front and rear, is it worth considering 4pots for track work with the standard engine or is this sufficient. What are the prefered 4 pots?

Hi I've got a set of semi slicks on 15" 2118's looking for some road/wet tyres for the 16" ones, i'm thinking Toyo R1R's, has anyone got any other suggestions? Also, wheres the best place to buy tyres Thanks
