Reading a post in 200.net it says that if the car came with Recaros from the factory it doesn't have a switch to turn the air bag off..... that's not good! Must of had Recaros in from new then 🙈

This is what it has.... Couldn't see a switch......?

Cheers, yeah CLIP would be for once I've removed it... if there's a switch on the side of the dash that will save the hassle :up:

Oh and fitted a slightly brighter 46 sticker on this one.... went for red on the Trophy, which blended in, this does have green in it though More to follow....

Well a bit more progress this afternoon! Now just got to fit the lap timer and either remove the passengers dash air bag or turn it off..... does anyone know if it's a key switch like most cars or will I need CLIP to disable the passengers air bag? Oh and look at fitting an extinguisher...

Exhaust soot....?

Well after 2 weeks of trying to get the bloody gear knob off I thot I would give it a try after the car had been sitting in the sun all day..... at last!! Now I can change the torn gator over with the new yellow stitched one to match the mats :up: Will persevere with taking the stapes out...

Corsa is seemingly an ex factory shell of yesteryear..... mechanics and suspension very good. It went well yesterday. Finished 37 out of 82 and given it was its first outing, his first time driving it etc, then reasonable. It drew a lot of looks especially after the side was re modelled...

Ready for track! More to follow.....

Lol - you really love winding him up don't you

It's easy seeing you're getting old when your happy that your Friday night consist of cleaning / working on the car! So I must be getting old :smile:...... All tints are removed and the car internally was given a good deep clean, so if I get time on Sunday the shining process can start :up...

Will be good to catch up Paul, not good re the cup, but I'll be looking forward to seeing the new project :up:

I know mate, I read your thread regularly...... you have similar issues / thoughts!

f**k don't say that..... I get enough grief having the green one and the bike doing nothing..... having the red one back will send her over the edge 🙈

Has to be right Mark :smile::up:

Yes they are hidden away when the plates are on mate, even the small plates I have, but i know they are there lol..... I'll live with it just now though I miss the trophy mate, speak to the guy who owns it regularly, not sure whether that's a good thing or a bad thing though

Not a lot to report tonight....... De tarred the whole car, foam washed, wax washed and then an express wax (aquawax) as a quick seal..... as usual tonight though, just get it dried off and then the rain starts!! Even in the dark the results are noticeable though...... or maybe I'm just...

I just found this thread........ pics below of my two offerings. deep down i am a fast ford fan and will have more i'm sure Anyway my contribution below. hopefully the pics have transferred, if not i have put the link in old skool cool cars below. The Cosworth & the S1 turbo that i should...

Just found this thread...... love fast fords and I'm sure i'll have some more. Anyway my contribution below. hopefully the pics have transferred, if not i have put the link in old skool cool cars below. The Cosworth & the S1 turbo that i should never have got rid of...

They are It will be on the trailer John. The adjusters sit quite high, in line with the Gaz sticker, and with the car being low I'm not quite sure if my arm shall bend that far. once its up on the jack it should be ok..........

As the weather for the rest of the week is meant to be a writeoff, I thought I would give the front arches a clean up..... didn't get time to get the steamer out tonight, but got the wheels off, foamed and decreased everything, checked callipers bolts, re locktited the wheel studs, copper lubed...

Ha! I know. I'm kinda glad it was in Scotland mate! I'm still undecided about the spoiler. I'm not a fan of them without, I don't like the standard ones and some days I'm all for a cup one, then other days I'm not so sure. This one is kinda understated which I like. Do you know if the holes...

I can only agree Paul. If it's factory fit glass I like, when it's stick on then it's just a waste of time!

All I can say is out the box they are amazing handling. Chasis is stiffer than the 172 / 182. If I jack either side at the rear both rear wheels are off the deck. Only thing of note / downside is that the parts (track consumables) are a fortune compared to the phase 1 & 2.

Thanks mate. It was really the only car I would have parted with the Trophy for as it was also quite special.... this time I let someone else spend the big money though

It's in very good condition to be fair. Cars not really see that many miles, 5000 per year from new, and everything has been maintained regardless..... so a nice an easy clean up

Well I had a few hours spare tonight so I managed to get a little more done...... Both back wheels off, thourough clean under the rear arches, stud check & locktite, lubricate of all strut adjusters and of course a wheel clean inside and out.... no surprises and peace of mind with the check...

Well the last update for today..... I'm not a real fan of after market window tints, they just don't look as clean as they need to and I hate the halo around the edge! So they have come off today. I'll get the fronts done next weekend 🙈 For losing an hour today I seem to have...

Just to clean my it mate. The black under seal doesn't generally cover the car. I have BT remived any just degreasing it all down. Because it will be getting punished i like it to be clean so I can see everything that appears. To be fair the car was bone dry underneath wih no issues at all...

Up early and cracked on..... coming along nicely:up:. Paused for a break so thought I'd post a mid way update; Drain tubes removed (drivers choked, passengers spotless)..... anyway, everything cleaned and built back up So next was told start underneath..... happy with progress.... Box...
