And just before track.......

And this time with photos...... (track)

May as well contribute too..... :-)

Before I had the cams / bodies and remap done, I was chasing one with montune kit on it, not sure what that does to it but someone mentioned 212 to 215, couldn't touch it on the straights, that turbo just makes it effortless. in the bends it looked like great fun, not as planted as the Clio, but...

I love the Fiesta mate.... I really want to build a wide bodied one of those or a Polo, rally cross style...... I am contemplating selling the Clio too to start one.......🙈 Love the way they look I've chased a few on track, they handle exceptionally well in standard trim...... Can't see...

Stu's getting as bad as me with it too Neil...... Think it will be in the show and shine as well as the SLS next year!! I'll take the tyre shine up at the weekend lol!!!

This will be interesting....... :-)

I was in Neil's, and my mate Stu owns it now so further shots not a problem. might have to drive it and feel the benefits as well. I change the oil once a year as it is, with ELF, so that would still happen regardless of diff. Never really saw the benefit of the final drive in Neil's, he...

What's the service requirements on the Gripper mate. not fully understanding the pro's / con's of each so I'm weighing up Gripper v Quaife. As the car is full track, it does approx. 12 outings a year, lets say 750 to 1000 miles per year........... Feed back appreciated on that and final...

I'm a phase 2 fan......

Yeah cheaper than the ebay matting and gives that all important factory look ;)

:tongueout:Well a quick check today showed that plug number 2 had given up so a shoved another used one in today and running perfectly :grin::up:........ Also give the car a foam, de rubber, wash, Polish and detail tonight so looking pretty again !! Just to get her up on the ramps for a full...

:smile::smile: Lol, I knew you It was going to happen, had it turn pink before bit surprised with the gold though :smile: Pity there's no heat goes through the rears,I could have had a matching set..... I'll give them a coat of black or some high temp silver in the spring :up:

I think it will be listed on there website mate, I don't know if there's any left..... Few of the regular guys in it so worth a look, and I'll hopefully find out more for next year, dates and prices etc....

Yeah it was a good Stuart. I actually had spare plugs with me, but it was quarter past 4, and the tyres were pretty much gone anyway ( and I know what happened the last time I persisted with that lol ). Saturday is a Track Scotland day, I shall be spectating though with hopefully a few...

Good time on track today, started off very slippy, cold, wet and seemed to take for ever to dry out...... But it did and it turned into a good day... Car ran faultlessly up until an hour before finish.... A minor misfire, think its a plug or an injector, so fair wear and tear really!! ( fingers...

Just get there early with the Clio and let them know you're there, at least if there's a no show you're on hand ?

Yeah.... Maybe I need to brake harder and help my times lol

Brembo HC, but that was mine after 2 years..... At the cost of them I should change them more regularly but they still work....

Those will be fine, my old ones were like that over the whole discs..... You've got months of heating and cooling left in them

Yeah it seemed to fill up quick, I booked early and took a chance on weather..... Meant to be dry but we shall see..... Bring your helmet with you mate

Pretty good colour match Cally...... :up: You not up on Sunday?

Very nice!! at least you'll have something pretty to look at when revving against the wall this time !! 🙈 Cant wait to see this progress Andy, its been a long time coming but it will be at a different level this time :wink:

Oh & I have a red door handle now in lieu of the standard pink one!! bonus

Well that's her back to her former glory!! I'll try and keep her like this for a little while longer this time!! hoping for a dry day on Sunday now :smile:!!

must admit its an obsession now I think 🙈:car:🔨

Next update, finished a day early :smile:, he was just riveting the side skirt brackets on and I collect it at 4 tonight so 2 days to polish and check over before Sundays outing :up: will put the obligatory completion photo up once the side skirt & Trophy sticker are back in place :hearteyes:

Well more progress, all straightened and being masked up ready for paint when I nipped in today..... Estimating Friday pm collection so looks like Sunday on track is going ahead as planned :) More to follow.......
