Re: My mk1 track car blog there are a couple of others who are doing it but afaik only one is up and running and thats waynes mechanically it is easy, uses same engine mounts, same driveshafts (can use either valver g'box or 172 box) can use valver clutch and throttle cables. cant comment...

Re: My mk1 track car blog yeh i just left them at what they were set at in the box, were around half way so wasnt sure whether it would be too high or low will adjust them when the time comes :)

Re: My mk1 track car blog lol you cant talk! yours was complete before we saw any pics! :rasp: i doubt i'll be at pod mate, im busy on sunday so that only leaves saturday to work on the car, and god knows i need all the time i can get lol would love to see your car in action so im a bit...

afaik the bottom end is used in other models but the head is different (different cam profiles)

what lump you putting in?

Re: My mk1 track car blog cheers for the comments guys :D dj - yeh theres just a few things im sorting as they are alot easier while engine is out (steering being one of them), having some brake lines made up as the union at the flexi is rounded off :mad: so once i have fitted them i will be...

Re: My mk1 track car blog got the grinder on the hubs to aid camber adjustment although i may need to take a bit more off, depends what the camber reads as it is while i was there i fitted my new bottom ball joints, a couple of the bolts were playing tough guys, so out came the grinder again...

Re: My mk1 track car blog next i set about fitting the coilovers and steering rack and column. the ride height after the engine came out was shockingly high and was depressing me to look at (i like low cars:evil: ) had to get these out of the box and take a piccie waiting to go on along...

Re: My mk1 track car blog sorry my bad that should say £380 :o

Re: My mk1 track car blog next i set about stripping the interior, helped by my gf (cheers hun) that didnt take long, and soon had a buyer for the leather interior and door cards which were taking up room in the garage interior and dash out although it is going to be a stripped track ****...

Right i was gonna wait until i had made further progress before posting this up but here it is anyway after having thoughts of selling my 106 for a faster motor i came to the decision of keeping my wee pug and buying a track/weekend toy that i could do up in my spare time. wasnt sure what i...

just had a quick look in the catalogue they are slightly more expensive from tweeks than what ive found so far

omp is on ebay for £350 ish iirc wanted a trader off here to get me a price tho, just incase they could save me a few quid ;)

pmsl at this thread, oh how it has spiralled out of control so quickly lol at the end of the day you get what you pay for (how many times has that been said on this site!!) it sounds like a good piece of kit for monitoring certain things like sensor readings etc (thats what i would be more...

yeh that is part of the reason i was steering away from a custom one, i like the idea of putting bars where i want, but not the fact it hasnt gone through the same tests as these i would have function over looks any day of the week with this project :D

right its nearly time to order my cage, but i am torn between these 2 off the shelf ones for my mk1 valver sparco - part number 00723161 (if this is wrong i have some other numbers :) ) omp - part number AB/105p/144 option 3 is to have a custom made one, but not sure on the costs of...

no i was replying to the original post :rolleyes: not to yours

you're gonna need some sort of engine management aswell to run them

right i had a word with the garage in one of the units where i work (sound guy, always lending me his tools) and he says he will make me some new lines up for nowt, result :D ive ordered a set of flared nut spanners aswell for future use cheers for the help guys

cheers ben :D i dont mind making up brake lines its just i dont have the kit and i always look for an easier alternative lol im thinking that even if i manage to get the buggers off they arent gonna be much good to re-use, so i think im gonna borrow a pipe cutter, lop it off before the union...

cheers bud im gonna get a flared nut spanner but anyone know for definate what size i need? also are the goodridge unions the same size?

anyone know what size they SHOULD be? if they are supposed to be 11mm then someone has royally round mine off:mad: and if they are 10mm then there must be loads of surface rust cos its nowhere near big enough looks like im gonna have to chop the pipe, put a new union on and buy a brake pipe...

what omp cage did you go for bud?
