Modern Classics magazine is excellent. Plenty of content and varied across all marques.

Just checked my ebay, 4 x m8 x 40mm high tensile (12.9 grade) bolts and washers for subframe to car, 4 x m8 x 25mm high tensile (12.9 grade) bolts and nyloc nuts and washers for sidemounts to seats. Thats per seat! You will notice it more when you have buckets in I reckon. Fairly easy to sort...

Good - I wouldn't bother with the sliders either, they flex to much imo. The OMP subframes dont sit level without the washers iirc. Get some high tensile allen key headed bolts and use the flanged nuts from the standard seats when fitting as well, easy peasy. You will notice a huge difference...

My second trackday was at Donnington, was also my first with AD08Rs. Was cold but dry in the morning, after lunch it was a complete downpour for hours. I drove at probably 6/10s and focused mainly on perfecting the lines with the luxury of minimal traffic. An E46 M3 spun in front of me and...

Have you got subframes for the seats? If not I would recommend the Jon Foz X-low frames.

Nice. Seriously considering one of these instead of my 172 as boost makes them a bit more appealing!

Looking good Danalan!

Anyway... when you get it back, whats the plan? Track it? Wrap it in cotton wool? Any future plans for it?

I think its the same old story, guy does work for friends, turns it into business, maintaining the friendly atmosphere, takes on to much because he doesnt want to let anyone down, gets out of depth and rides on past reputation until it all goes massively tits up and then name becomes mud. Theres...

UCH?

Really got me tempted by an ACS RC Kit now, looked really well made, almost a shame to fit it and screw those dirty dirty rods into!

Ah, ClioSlagsDerbyContingent 'Lets get into eachothers cars' Sunday!

Wow, feel for you, I remember seeing this at BTM when I had my black 182 5 years ago I think? Whats holding it up? Been some mega builds happen in a quarter of the time of this one!

Loved seeing this today. Sound absolutely mental inside and everythings done really well, spot on mate.

More updates plz @jamie rigby I want a Novadose!

That is absolutely awesome! Get some black hoses and jobs a good'un. My mate had a 1.2 Corsa B Which we fitted a C20XE to and that felt properly quick when we were 18. Bet these are absolute beasts!

A ph2 172 is cheap as chips and readily available compared to Cups which are increasing in price, having said that as mentioned above they have more deadening etc. to remove.

Didnt you remove the blank to plug the steering rack? @dann2707

Nice, do mine please

@Tom Johnson

Assuming this is opening up the bottleneck at the back? I think Pure Motorsport do it.

Good work, did anyone else spot the titties?

You also need to either blank and loop the PAS rack or swap to a 2.75 turn DCI rack.

I have ph1 rear lights and ph1 bonnet in Derby if needed, the bonnets been smoothed.

Ball joints/hubs

Glad you like it bud, its good isnt it!

It was completely rotten when I had it :(

Ah yeah, saw you lot. I wasnt on form at all, couldnt get into it! Car was fine but had a nightmare week before so had no confidence in the car!

Second here for EPAS, makes a load of space in the bay as well.

Nice one, @Coops Turbo has an F4R MK1 as well. I would just run the full 172 wiring setup, and shorten it/swap plugs for lights etc if needed, you can lose a fair bit of it (airbag and SRS stuff) but need the airbags deactivating in CLIP to keep the lights off.
