Would this surge tank house the pump aswell? So we can fit updated pumps properly? The full pump, float and sender is in the tank as one unit

I managed to source another 182 gearbox that supposedly was in good working order which wasnt far from Mark, so I bought it and had it delivered to him for the refurb. We had spoken a few times about Diff's and I had said I'll wait until I have had some use out of the car but Mark had other...

After this I lifted the bonnet on the car to see what I needed to do next to get the gearbox out and noticed this!! I mean, its brand new and only done 1 trackday!! Costs just under £400 and its cracked! I was pretty pissed off to be fair so emailed Nick with pictures. He told me to send it...

Next job was the steering rack. As you can see it's pretty minging, so I fitted the blanking plugs and steam cleaned it off soaking it in wheel acid I sand blasted the rack body and the rusty pipe ports, the aluminium brackets and painted it all up. I cant remember when I did but I had...

Ford?

I like the way the steering wheel ends up touching the ground at the end. What car "was" that? Looks like and 80's dashboard

Stop, drop, and role !!

Mine wont fail... I wont crash

The next week at work a nice little surprise came in the post, again I couldnt remember what I had ordered but my hubs were back! With a very pretty role centre/bump steer kit attached! Now I know most people would probably brush a bit of paint into the hubs and have done with it but I'm not...

I was still waiting on the role centre kit so I took my subframe to work. Steam cleaned it all off and brought it into my lair to see what was what. The bushes on the ARB were goosed with a heavy amount of rust around the outer bushes also. The bottom arms appeared to be relatively new though...

Right, from this point forward everything got out of control and one thing lead to another, and another, and another etc I'm going to try and break it down into segments for each part coming up to keep things making sense. So after cadwell I found second gear to be crunching and the bearings...

I can give it a go

Well the ammonia explains the smell but it will take a long time for citric acid to corrode iron

I'm signed up to all kinds of s**t I dont use. Dont think theres elite technician though. Highest in the bodyshop is senior like me

Is the bright red thing just a gimmick or does it actually react with the iron ?

I just did, apparently they bottle it

🤔 dragons dont exist so wheres the breath come from?

Mine was leaking from 7,8 and 13, And out of the cap once its boiling.

I've had a good look at them m8 and the cage. Cage was installed by a guy who builds spaceframed grass track cars, he made the full cage and installed it. I trust that 100%. Seat rails I know look kind of crappy, I've had a pry bar between them and given them a heave hook and not moved or made...

Yea I've just zoomed in on the video where we go off track and yea it's in the 12's most of the time

I'll have a look at the gauge next time on full throttle

🤔 I dont think so no

I still have a soft spot for Jap I just cant keep up with the running costs anymore. Had enough.

I am thinking of going back though as I had the wrong exhaust gasket on, it was too small

When I went to see him I started telling him what's on it and he said it doesnt matter, the car will tell him what it needs and I believe him. Great bloke

If this is how quick you guys work and turn things around you'll be greeted with open arms by all

Do you get scratches using the Wd40? I like things immaculate is all. If theres a chemical that lifts the ferrous off the wheels first I would prefer to do that. Just had them refurbished

This gives a bit of insight

With the wideband afr, when you come off the throttle it jumps up to 17.9 or off the scale and then you get a load of pops and backfires so I'm guessing the higher the number the more fuel is present. Obviously with the sender being in the exhaust it is delayed slightly. I would rather it over...

Thanks guys I'll have a browse
