are you planning many track days this year i need some motivation to spend some more time on the car, and money for that matter!

This car man is so nice! :hearteyes:

No problem mate we are having a man date at the weekend so I'll grab some pictures of it then lol Yeah be nice to put some faces to the cars mate!

23rd of Feb? I was going to do the Bedford day on the 27th, as many track days as I can lol

Mega money nowadays! One of my very good friends is in the middle of building his mk1 escort with a 500bhp Zetec turbo in it! The engine was ballistic in his old 3door so god only knows what it'll be like in the mk1 and his brother has just finished his cossy'd mk2 3 door both built to...

Good eye sir! It's being restored yeah nothing special just cleaned up a bit! Are you an old school ford bod then?

Managed to get some pins that fit from the auto sport show at the weekend so got that mounted up and opening and shutting as it should.. Car will be painted over the next couple of weeks and then fitted back up ready for a track day in February hopefully!

Already drilled the bootlid to suit the pins not sure if the aero catch pins will fit in the hole?

That's fine by me I like a bit of oversteer as seen here haha

I've already drilled the holes for the pins though or does that not matter

I'll look into this mate thank you

Sweet then, so what's the best advice for handling a bit of toe in or out? I get confused with it all lol And I'm kinda thinking my subframe is bent I don't know why I just fear the worse lol

Hi guys, I have had my car set up a little while ago and it became apparent that it wasn't quite square. I have odd caster angles on the front and I want to set the rear beam up for optimum handling can any one shed some light on how I can fine tune my car to handle a bit better than it already...

That's cool I left mine in too I just need longer studs I guess lol

Do you still run the boot rubber aswell mate

Ah fair enough mate yeah I thought so too but even at the end of the thread it's still a bit to short with me pushing as hard as I can on the boot lid lol.

What pins have you used mate I seem to have bought ones that are too short lol

What boot pins are people using, the ones I have ordered are not quite long enough :( and I've drilled holes now

Haha yeah well I say that but I'm now sat at home... I'll do some tomorrow

Very true mate now Christmas is over with I can crack on with the car!

Just messing around getting the boot to fit drilled the majority of the holes needed I think just gotta sort the boot pins out tomorrow, just as you think your making progress you turn around and see the rest of the car

Yes mate machined 5mm off of the mounting face and obviously bought the correct adapters so i can run them under 15's

Oh ok lol that's good then

Cheers boss!

I've missed a lot of this thread where and how to I book up to come along/ a day on track!

Yeah no problem mate I'll be there! When ever it is

When's that mate I did promise myself I'll be getting out more next year I'm hoping to be at the Bedford trackday in Feb!

Na shouldn't do id sell the mrs car before it came to that haha

100% mate I also still want some of your hubs, I need to sell some more cars to keep up with this although another quiet month I'll probably have to sell bits from the car to cover overheads lol

Lol I'd love to have the car so close to me like that not that I would do anything more to it! I got rid of my 197 engine in the end but that money had to go toward Christmas! So annoying but that's one of the joys of being self employed I guess! I'm sure work will pick back up in the New Year...
