They shouldn't be scraping with new shocks at all, the springs set the ride height and the shocks just damp the bumps out so the back doesn't bounce around and Cooksports don't lower the car that much, where are you in the country?

Anti roll bar bolted to the subframe, pretty easy to find it's the long bar that connects to both wishbones.

The springs don't get removed to put new shocks in, I replaced mine before I knew anything about cars, it's a simple job that's pretty much impossible to screw up, unless your springs have somehow become unseated, but they'd have probably fallen out by now. Have you actually had a look at them...

1st & 2nd of August, Blyton Park Circuit. http://www.cliosportsaturday.net/

Am I ever going to get to sit in this thing and play with the buttons, please tell me you're bringing it to CSS, it's no even that far from you this year?

How many did you crash? I crashed 2 cars in my first 2 years of driving, first car was a Rover Metro 1.1 I stuffed into the back of a Volvo, it survived but looked like a write off from then on, second car was a Rover 414 I crashed head on into some poor b*stard because i'd just come back from...

LOL what did the other 5 look like?

Was it your first car?

I thought it looked like a bit of a laugh until I saw the inside, how many leathery old cougars did you have to shag to get enough leopard print for the interior?

No problem, JC5 129 it is then if you actually need a new box.

If you look down the back of the box they'll be a plug coming out of it with wires attached if it's a speedo drive.

If you do need a new gearbox get a JC5 130 the circlip is bolted in, that's if your car runs a non speedo box.

I bet the oil leak was from the gearbox selector shaft seal and the reason it's gone bang is because it's all leaked out and the box had ran dry, my old gearbox did exactly the same thing but at 70mph on a duel carriageway, bang and the sound of metal grinding and fusing together.

Fixed my haunted passenger door lock that randomly decided when it wanted to lock or unlock, turned out to be a loose connector so I jammed some card in to keep it in place and so far it's working. Although whoever decided how the door cards should be attached need shooting, poppers yeah no...

Couldn't tell you mate, i've never taken it apart.

Sounds like something in the gear stick has broke, there's a lot of plastic bits that could easily be broken by a decent whack.

On mine there's only 3mm of adjustment on the linkage, I went from having 1st the 5th and no reverse, to reverse to 4th with no 5th, there's only one spot where I have all gears, so i'd say the linkage still needs adjusting to get it right.

The lad driving was Jann Mardenbourough the winner of the first Playstation Nismo academy competition, I watched the whole TV series where they took a load of gamers to see if they could transfer their Gran Tourismo skills to the track. Horrible for the family of the person that was killed but...

Sounds like the springs creaking, definitely worth taking the wheels off and having a look at them, can you tell if it's coming from the front or the back?

Copy & paste not working on your computer?

I love these old cars they're just awesome, you can just see the thought process of the blokes that built them, 'Lets bolt an aero engine to some girders and put some wheels on it and see how long it takes until someone dies',

Without knowing where the leak is or how much it's leaking it's difficult to say.

Not a bad looking car.

I just wish I was as hard as that tiny kid that f*cked up that big kid that was bullying him, that was f*cking mental.

I wouldn't worry about it, most people at CSS would probably avoid you because of the overwhelming aroma of testosterone and baby oil.

Is it going to a stay stripped out weapon or are you putting a few creature comforts back in?

I know it's probably in the thread somewhere and is a silly question, but I take it you're turning it into a proper race car to do....time attacks?

Maybe it was a footballist, they're renowned for having the IQ of a turnip.

Getting pissed with you sad acts is what I laughingly call a life these days.
