Well i'm not 100% sure anymore. But I think when i gut the doors and stick in my plastic windows it should be 800 kg

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner Ooooo come on then show us!!!! Come on Come on Come on!!!

Things left to do: Oils changed Put earths on standard loom Fit injector connectors to new engine loom Fit battery and cut off switch So yeah very nearly finished :) Thanks :) I have 8 trackday to fit in this year so its going to get as much use as poss. I only planned to tidy up the...

I see some people have posted some pics of my car in this thread :) thanks. Latest engine bay picture

Spent a little bit of time (all day :( ) on the car today. My main aim for today was to fit the new air filter. So first i had to remove the Throttle Bodies as i had to use them for my template. So after i had remove them i this is how they looked. This is my backing plate that i got...

Looks great! I like the new filter :)

Looks fantastic!!

Pics???? X

F**king silly m10 bolts = FTW ;) Great results for a standard engine, as long as your fan doesnt fall then I will admit defeat.

That was qute a write up, you've have lots of bad luck, hopefully the karma thing gets balanced out and you have some more luck! I was never a fan on that filter on my car kept getting sucked onto the ends of the trumpets iirc. The old ktec filter was worse for doing that that. Get some pics...

Flames!!! Decat now? (can't watch vid on my phone)

I know what you mean about reaching up to the steering wheel. Here's a pic of my steering column

Ha Motorsport is safe!!! Hmmm not so sure about that, but that's what I tell my old dear when I do trackdays. On the track you wear helmets, everones going the same way and there's no trees to hit. Hope the guys in the crash make a full recovery!

Re: White Trackday 172 Project Nice track car, only just seen this thread, do you know you have to tack the metal wishbone sleves to the wishbones or they will cut the subframe! Any plans for the engine?

This was my old sun strip when the car was road worthy. I think it want through a mot like that

That info was helpful thanks. I have been using a sonius (I think that's how you spell it) compounds and pads. A few years ago I bought a kit which came with a meg g220 da with 3 compounds and 3 pads. I had only ever used that so when I had used the first compound I sometimes saw that it was...

Here's how big my tw@ strip is. :) But my car doesn't need a mot, as it will be living it's life on the track now 

I have detailed around 10 cars using a beginner friendly set of compounds and pads. Sometimes the swirles and scratches just wouldn't be corrected as well as I would have liked, not because I was doing it wrong but because I think the compounds were just light. My question is instead of...

I was always under the impression that standard F4r's don't need to run an oil cooler. Fred whats wrong with running a track car on 10w40 or 5w40? Why are the other oils better? I will be running a cooler on my car this year

Look great! I spaced my steering column down with simple long bolts, washers & nuts. Can you do that on the mk1 column.

Great choice in loosing the blowers. Interior will look so much neater now. My loom is in the bulk head and my wires come out of the gap on the right. I found there's not much room underneath the mk1 dashes for loom unless it's very thin. Door pulls look sweet too!

Car is looking good now, really want seats like you have. I like the bits you have been making :)

If you just rub it down and polish it back up. I did a guide years ago. Look in the guides section

How soon would you have to carry out maintenance on a gripper diff? After a seasons racing?

How are you going to fix the front windows in?

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner Looks really nice inside. Perhaps loosing the headlining would have looked a little better. So when do you think the first coat of paint will go on?

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project Are you fitting the manifold youself? Can't wait to see yours :)

Yeah caged stuff loom pretty tidy. I ITB'd my 182 for under £2k, not the cheapest its been done but still not bad. Its loads cheaper sourcing second hand parts and building it yourself. Just depends if you know the difference between a spanner and a socket! ;) Anyway I went down the rs tuner...

Double post :(

Yeah you will need those parts Neil. 19mm tubing iirc. You will also need some hose clips too as it might leak if you just push the metal bit in. I know my stuff, although the more I learn about f4r's ect the more Uni work gets pushed out the other side lol
