Hero car living the dream! I must say it shows real club spirit and commitment to take photos all day instead of driving, then sort them all out and email them to us all for free. Thanks again Sharky.

​It's a taste sensation.

You can have a cake of cheese instead then.

Something I drew on the back of my maths book back in the 80s.

Holy sh*t I want an old Ford so badly!

​They're pletherette, pleather would be too expensive.

I've seen them used in the yank hotrod scene over here, along with these ones. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BLACK-PVC-LEATHER-EFF-RECLINING-BUCKET-CAR-SEATS-FOR-CLASSIC-AUSTIN-MINI-/350818164004?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item51ae645d24

Those seats are £150 new on ebay, £200 with harnesses although they're not Sparcos, ​so you've done alright there mate. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BLACK-RECLINING-BUCKET-CAR-SEATS-WITH-RACING-HARNESSES-/370838300709?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item5657af6825 I considered buying a...

The Dog Kennel's looking mighty, apart from my splitter half hanging off, shame they're slightly spoiled by the fat kid with the mumps behind the wheel. Thanks for spending your day shooting, ​you must have been bloody hot standing out there all day?

That ideas on hold for a bit, the money got spent on bills instead. I like how there's a clock instead of a rev counter, is that you measure the 0-60 time, in minutes?

Sounds like you need a custom map from Fastchip to get the most of of it.

Well i'm out of money now, so i'll have to bodge a mount until I can earn some more, and it is the back box shield, it's rotten to f*ck and needs replacing, otherwise it's going to get hot in the boot.

Bloody French cars, more like special needs. lol Tomorrow i've got to replace an exhaust clamp and bodge a new bush in the rear hanger, the heat melted the old one on track and the entire exhaust was dangling 2 inches off the floor, ​it's currently being held on by zip ties. I've also got to...

I know, watching everyone change their pads, wheels and fixing stuff that broke on track made me realise i'm a useless mong and I really should start making an effort. Although it took a hell of a lot of swearing to get it sorted and i've absolutely destroyed both sills with a bottle jack, so...

You told me you jammed the jack handle in the caliper and levered it close, you mentioned nothing about screwdrivers you tit. Now I know how it's done I reckon I could change pads in about 20 minutes now, instead of all f*cking afternoon! ​Oh and I found that spanner Raz.

Cheers mate that worked a treat, all sorted now. Although somehow i've lost one of my spanners. :dapprove:

I just put the rubber end of a claw hammer in the piston and smashed f*ck out of it with a silicon hammer, ​didn't budge a single mm, I think it's safe to say it seized.

No don't have any of those, ​tbh I think it's seized as I nearly pushed the car off the jack with the amount of force I was putting in to it.

Nope, that isn't budging for sh*t and I was proper Mumm-Ra'ing it.

Tabs?

Well I just undid the brake fluid cap, put the old pad over the piston, whacked f*ck out of it with a silicon hammer and it didn't budge a mm, looks like i'll have to put the death trap pads back in and go back down Halfords tomorrow to buy a G-clamp.

That's me screwed then. I've got mole grips.

Do I definitely need a G-clamp to get the piston back in the caliper because I don't have one, is there any other way of doing it, like putting the old brake pad on it and hitting it with a hammer?

I think you must have miss heard him, the ARB is just a metal bar and some rubber bushes that's bolted to the subframe with brackets, ​there's nothing to leak out.

I destroyed my Brembo pads in the first session, they went from a high bite point to the pedal being on the floor within 15 minutes. I just drove all the way home without touching the brakes until I was in Coventry city centre, the pedal does nothing now. lol ​So in short Brembo pads suck balls.

Yes i'd say you'd need an upgrade, my old map had 6400 at the beginning, the newer ones i've been using for a couple of years have 6500 at the beginning.

Someone in a Cup obviously destroyed him at a traffic light GP, so now he want's one so he can be the man. Well until someone in a Focus ST lines up next to him, then he'll want to swap his Cup for a Focus that's worth 5 times the money.

I can't wait to see this thing finished.

I'd settle for an electrical system that isn't haunted tbqfh, although a hyperspace drive would be easier to make.
