Cars on charge now hopefully will set on fire lol Need to get the heat shield off again but going into mates garage to change the exhaust so will get him to do it the. Saves me more time on my back on the drive, getting too old lol

So the saga continues ! The replacement calipers arrived and look pretty good so set about fitting them, I did the near side 1st and after reading @Chris_Beer 's brake thread I also bought an 11mm flare spanner as I just new a sheared pipe would be waiting for me! Took it very easy undoing the...

Think its a gripper on Pauls, definitely the best one to fit for competition esp with a shorter fd.

Brakes still binding and getting very hot after a 5 min drive so here's this evenings toil Update. Checked the compensator and it was cable tied up, cut it off and freed up the lever which works with the spring and feels ok. I removed the off side pads and found the piston was quite difficult to...

Update. Checked the compensator and it was cable tied up, cut it off and freed up the lever which works with the spring and feels ok. I removed the off side pads and found the piston was quite difficult to turn back in but after a lot of freeing off got to move ok checked the arm for the...

Yep both sides hot. I was thinking about it before I think the handbrake has got worse since I've had it even after fitting new discs,pads etc as it was also missing the spacer washer behind the disc. I am wondering now if the handbrake mechs are sticking as I had to adjust the rod under the...

@Chris_Beer Hi mate I am having problems with both sides binding on mine. I have wound the pistons back in and the sliders seem free enough but still bind. I also adjusted the hand brake as it was non existent, do you have any other tips before I end up renewing everything . I have just booked...

This happened on mine at weekend, you need to line the grove up on the shaft otherwise they can move in too far and can't get the bolt in. Watch you don't damage the CV boot as I nicked mine in my struggle :smile:

Decided to have a look at the handbrake this afternoon , car jacked up on axel stands, crawl underneath to get the bloody screws out of the heat shields then it starts raining ☔️ Some 45 minutes later I am pissed wet through but all done :grin: Think I am getting far too old for this car lark...

This bit.

Hi Dave I need the upper parts above where the wiper blade arms go on above the plastic if you get me ? how much ?

I think they look better than 2118's and are quite a bit lighter, just need to add painting the calipers back to silver lol

Really trying to stay in the standard class but always on puremotorsports site building my next seasons car, just frightened how much I will spend lol

Yep ! Got any wiper mechs or engine under shields ?

I gave the car a good clean today and it scrubs up really well, looks fantastic for 15 years old. Also need to get a few things done/changed so in no particular order Needs handbrake sorting as it's none existent Rear brakes are rubbing but may be as it never moves off the drive !? Needs new...

Hopefully it will be ok , the Alignment should show up anything hopefully not !

Just a small update, fitted some new ball joints which were a pig to do and I managed to nick one of the cv gaiters so will all have to come off to fit a new gaiter :rage: We @JohnnyE are off to Blink motorsport next sat to have the tracking done and see how straight the rear beam is. Hopefully...

As above ^ Quaife will fit the crown wheel but this will need removing from your gearbox and sending to Quaife. Agency did mine whilst I waited, took them about 10 mins to get it out.

I think a lot of the problem stems from the dash dodger front cages as some have 2 bends in them I think the GT86 cage has 3! I have seen cages with an extra bar welded across the door opening from the front leg to the top horizontal. See here...

Great work and attention to detail fella ! Well worth the effort :up:

Save your money and fit harder rubber brake block's to your rims :laughing:

@Chris_Beer well spotted, thanks :up:

Can ou let me know how much Russ ? Cheers

I took the car for a quick test drive before and the front end feels nice and tight although the tracking and steering wheel will need the alignment doing which is being done at Blink motorsport who I've used a good few times now as they know what they are doing and also offer set up advice. At...

Pic of rear discs and new pads and fitting kit.

Today I fitted the inner and outer trackrods, the rubber boots were a pita to get on the rack but otherwise all straight forward enough especially with a tre tool. Then moved on to the rear to finish off the new discs and pads also used new fiiing kit from ecp. Refitted the wheels then realised...

😞

That rs2 looks a bit tatty compared to the shiney engine, swap for a shiny standard inlet for the rs2 ? :laughing:

Ah ok, I thought you had found the old depreciation charts Whatcar used to do. Thanks

Yes
