Thanks Mark I have a place near me that make braided hoses so I can get the pipes made up to the length I need with no excess.

Is there anyway of fitting the cooler the other way round so the fittings are on the top? Have you got 2 sandwich plates on? I assume one is for a take off for temp / pressure gauge. Just been looking on JJC and they do a cooler for £39 + sandwich plate etc

I am thinking of getting a oil cooler, where is the best place/cheapest to get one from? I want one with a thermostatic sandwich plate, as for braided hoses are they needed?

Mines on OMP subframes but no sliders and it is fine, I have the Bimarco aluminium mounts and drilled some holes lower down in them so the seat is about 20mm lower than it would have been, I cant go no lower now as the base of the seat is close to the subframe, but I had to trim and reprofile...

I have one from a local window tinting company, it's fitted on the inside it's a dark tint (not limo) so could go darker cost about £15 fitted.

Go for the Futura only about £20 per seat more, I have been pleased with mine for the money. As for the FIA approval they must have met the requirements at one point.

That will be fun.

Looks very nice Mark, what revs will it be doing?

That's what I did as I wanted the project but it has probably cost me a lot more than buying a car already sorted, doing it this way you will learn a lot more as well.

Still working fine Thanks for the help :up:

Mines got the rubber on it, brought it from Amazon ages ago,I think it was about £18 Now £19 http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B001MS6OM2/?tag=cliospnet01-21

They are a bit awkward to fit

It would just be a case of removing the buckle and wrapping it around the bar, unless where the two belts meet into the one is past the harness bar.

Been messing with the camera over the last week. Fitted the lens back to standard and it worked so then tried it with the extension again and it played up, so turned the extension lead around and it all seen fine now. I will give it a try for a few days and see how it goes.

I've used bathroom sealant on my focus St before because I could not find the other high temp stuff I had and it was fine for over 2 years when I removed it to sell the car.

Why get a old / basic car to do more miles in. If I had to spend longer in the car everyday I would want a upgrade more comfort etc how about something like a Skoda Octavia VRS TDI would be more car for your money than a BMW. Why get rid of the ST anyway, the amount of money you would lose...

Love it anti lag always make you smile Bonnet looks 100% better. Are you going to do anything with the gearbox ie straight cut or sequential?

Put a Aerocatch each side of the number plate with the pin mounted into the aluminium bumper crash structure

Don't like polished wheels looks too American but love the R8.

Go for it Mark , I love my orange wheels The shifter isn't to bad when you rest your hand on it while driving (on the road that is) Worth the noise for the improved gear change

Had a mess with it today and the picture has got better but now it is not powering up correctly :rage:

Cheers mate I will try that, I have fitted the lens extension so it may not be in correctly.

@McGherkin This is what I am on about, looks like a thermal imaging camera

I will do it tomorrow, must be something in the settings

I have just fitted a Mobius as a dash cam and all the highlights (ie clouds, sky etc) are showing up as pink any ideas why this would be like it?

It is hard work to get some they sell out the same day they have stock, if I do decide to get some coilovers mine will be for sale but will not be for a couple of months.

Here's mine They are very good for the money sits nice never had no rubbing on the track with et35 wheels (and et43 +16mm spacers grey wheels), I find them a bit bumpy on the road but I only drive the car to and from the track so it does not bother me. Not sure how they compare to average...

Easy enough to sort just buy some cheap foam cut it out in a circle the size of the tyre and fit on the alloy face inside the wheel bag, it will not move as it would be trapped by the bag around the tyre

The plates just fit on the underside of the floor and pulled tight with the eyebolt, put a bit of silicone on it though to stop water getting in. Got the sticker off eBay, found someone who was selling a small one in the correct font and asked them to make a big one

For mounting on the harness bar you just remove the snap buckle and then wrap it around the bar (I used this guide ) and for the lap belts I used this guide http://www.msar.co.uk/pdf/UsersGuideRacingHarness.pdf for the angles and drilled holes in the floor and fitted the spreader plates and eye...
