Oooooooh, i though this was the ABS ECU/Module:
I sold my ABS pump and my speedo works of the ABS sensors :confused: Guess i'll be needing a GPS speedo.
I think as @imprezaworks said, as i'm starting out i could compromise and do £800 for cage and £800 on a set of coilovers.
I would love a set of AST's with @NorthloopCup Roll centre/bump steer corrector hubs but that'll be £2k on suspension just for a track day car !
It's still a work in progress car and most of this list is a "plan" but engine will be standard apart from an air filter and its got a Miltek exhaust already. I will be de-catting it.
Completely stripped interior.
Polycarb windows.
Gearbox is standard with the view to stick a LSD eventually...
I know but the cost of a heated front screen is a lot and i don't want to risk it being smashed/cracked/chipped every time i go on track by flying debris.
Rebuild has started:
Decided to keep the original heater system so i can have nice warm air (to aid the cooling of the engine of course ;-)) and demisting the windscreen.
Fitted black series ARB bushes.
Fitted DCI steering rack with new inner tie rods, new boots and new track rod ends.
The flange on my exhaust manifold is pretty rusted, what would be my best option ?
Cut it off and weld a new one on ?
Get a new or 2nd hand exhaust manifold ?
Live with it ?
What you need is a light weight trailer, one that weighs about 400kg with a load capacity of about 1200kg. The PRG Minisport trailer is the one i'm looking to get eventually. Gross weight of 1500kg (load capacity of 1135kg).
"Maximum authorised mass ( MAM ) means the weight of a vehicle or trailer including the maximum load that can be carried safely when it's being used on the road. This is also known as gross vehicle weight ( GVW ) or permissible maximumweight"
Whats the towing weight limit of the trailer ? The rules are set on the maximum towing weight (plated weight) and not the actual weight of the trailer and load.
Is there really a need for an additional fuse ? All you're doing it relocating the battery thus extending the power cables to back to the original power points, not installing a new circuit ?
What's the MAM of the trailer you've hired ? What's the kerb weight of your towing car ? Does it exceed 3,500kg ?
Just asking as i had a trailer with a MAM of 2000kg and the kerb weight of my towing car was abount 1700kg so that put me over the 3,500 kg !
I passed my test in 1999.
