New battery trial fitted and working perfectly....... starts the car from cold perfectly and as its full track i'm hoping i wont have too many issues with aux items draining it, wont be leaving the lights on though!! must get a cover for the live connector, just to keep scrutineers happy...
Your most possibly right Andy. I sit that low in it usually when on track, I have never noticed it... Usually look for red or amber lights not green ones. I only noticed tonight as it was dark and I was propped up putting it onto the ramps..... I won't lose too much sleep over it :)
And just to keep @Mash. happy, a little more lubricating tonight............ 😂 engine & gear box oils changed :up::smile:
another 2 items off the list !
One strange thing that I noticed tonight, before changing any fluids, was that the little green gear stick / shift light...
I'll get you one when its all mounted up mate. the Subaru guys on track are using them and they are heavily modified so if it starts and runs one of them I'm hoping it will run my little bucket 🙈
quick snap below to show you the comparison to a full size one just now:
my only...
Well another sunny day, so another few items scored off the list!! by the looks of j
Remove air-con rad and blower motor from below scuttle (was meant to do this ages ago, but it just seemed a pain) - DONE
rub down front calipers and paint with high temp silver paint this time - DONE
new door...
Any time mate, text first as its ether at mine or my dads depending on what's getting done to it.....
Un decided Cally, weathers meant to be great so possibly in the drive working on the car....
it sounds like a monster mate..... I need to see this in the flesh :)
Thanks mate, she's getting there....
Well i had a few hours on her today, so a few items scored off the list!! weather is outstanding and good few of the mates are on track today and it sounds like they are having major...
I should get through quite a bit this weekend (hopefully)
I know the feeling mate, my street is filling up with retired people, so a noisy Clio is not the most popular thing in the work lol!
Well it feels like ages since I've been on here............ well updating anyways.
Its been a miserable and wet winter up here so all the plans made at the end of last season have not been taken any further! but the Trophy's now out of storage and looking as shiny as the day she went in...
SLS super lap Scotland, so race contact shouldn't be an issue. Biggest problem will be an off track smash at knockhill. Demanding undulating track with runoff but a few walls at quick parts of the track......
its been a long wet and miserable winter Andy, so no progress since it went into storage, but it'll be out soon and I a have a few things to do :smile:
Nope everything out, tar / quilt the lot (except the pad on the roof, that's still in)........ It still has full glass, window motors, the air con rad in the bulkhead, inners of doors etc, so probably a good bit to Come out yet, Scorpion exhaust carries two back boxes and the centre one as...
Nah that was me standing I the weigh bridge office.... That was standard trophy, full interior removal, full safety devices cage, 2 sabalt cup racer seats and a fire extinguisher....... I really do need to weigh it again now
Last time mine was weighed it was 1040kg with half a tank, since then it's lost the air con rad, pipes etc, inlets in lieu of itb's etc..... But I really need to get it re weighed..... And I really need to remove more bits and metal!!
@Fraser.J. was weighing in at 895 before the fibreglass boot...
They would do mate..... I weighed up all the factors and couldn't justify based on the braking power I get from the existing with good pads......
They do look pretty though:hearteyes:
Hi john, was looking at the flamer the other day at Stu's, very nice mate and drives an pulls very well...... Hopefully this will be no different, can wait to see it at knockhill.
RB was my choice before the trophy turned up..... They just look special!
