Engine and box out. Just left it on the subframe attached by the lower mount. I'll get the video up in a bit. Me and a mate lifting and my mum wheeling it out on a trolley 😂
As James mentioned it will be the lap belt buckles are too close to the seat hole, therefore not sitting flat to the belt so you'll be getting slip. If you cant adjust the buckle down towards the anchor points then pull the buckle through the hole slightly, not ideal but its what I used to have...
Yeah thought as much, cheers mate. Looks like I'll go with my original plan of lifting the front end using a few mates and slide the engine and box out, lol.
Not got a crane to pull from the top, CBA with the hassle of pulling apart the box from underneath on stands, to pull through the passenger side arch so was going to remove the front end and pull it that way. Question, is all the front end like the crash bar etc bolt in or is stuff welded in...
Mapped the Mondeo ST derv, ready for its first outing on track in May. Got Eibach springs, Stoptech pads and PS4 tyres to throw on as well. Should be half capable now at Aintree....for a diesel barge :grin:
Cool. EPAS is a good mod for track, bit weird at first but once you get the settings right it decent. Need to pull mine off my breaking FF which I'm dreading, as i aint got a clue, lol.
You hoping for sub 2 minutes then? Was there when you were getting 2:04s and you seemed like you had a bit more in you then. You lost a second or two messing with your harness belts, lol.
Just get some quality runners as the ones that come on the Clubsports are utter tosh, yeah you'll have them in a fixed position due to the door bar, whatever that is? but they wont move around like the Clubsport ones. Remember you can lower and higher via the side mounts as well...
Owned cars with both engines and personally prefer the Honda unit, both have pro's and cons's but either will do the trick nicely. So tempted by one of these now the Clio is scrap.
Had the Nero's on the 16" cup wheels and didn't rate them one bit, average in the dry and poor in the wet. The Rainsport is a better tyre but wear fast, Avon ZV7 get good reviews as do the Kumho KU39 which I can vouch for on the CTR I had. If premium I'd go with the Conti or the F1's, the PS3's...
