Booked my ticket. Weekend pass, morning track session. Just hope the car is done for this now. 😂

You've tagged me in this? Did you forget I'll be at castle Combe with the rest of the cool kids?

Feel your pain Dave. Me and Gus did mine on my garage floor, with the beam still attached via the handbrake cables. Still, we did it though.

My boss' son has started importing yank cars to do up and sell on. Boss has an absolutely gorgeous ford galaxie on his drive at present. This one in fact.

That's a 172 engine.

The 2 bolts should point down to the floor.

For the Oxfordshire, Surrey and South Central gang, we're heading over to Castle Combe for the spring Action Day. Tickets for the stand are sold out, but tickets for the show are still available. Come check us and the show out...

So had a bit of time this morning to start painting the inlet manifold. First coat is on...

GET TAE FUUCCKKKK OK. What about from a safety perspective? Is it worth having a bar there for the sake of £30?

@optical popped over this afternoon and we set about dropping the rear beam to install the powerflex rear beam bushes. It had an advisory for perished bushes on the last MOT so thought I best get them changed now. We can both see why people complain about this job. The first issue we had was...

In the heroic efforts to remove the motor, the alternator was terminal but also the live feed to it as well. Few minutes later, a new connector is on Along with the new coolant bottle. Almost seems a shame to use the standard pipe work now. Just refresh the clios for now.

So the roll cage arrived last week. Steven and his buddy Chris popped by to check it out. We mocked up how it will look, and found its not a dash dodger! Lol! So dash bars and look will come out (as they were for welding anyway), and I'll need to source a dash bar from custom cages.

The one on the track attack website is correct I assume?

How many track slots are left?

What I meant is, if the original bolts are the same as the bolts on the sport, the PMS kit is longer than standard.

If they're the same as the sport setup speak to pure motorsport. They'll sell the bolts from their kit separately.

Good. Hopefully got a very decent welder lined up too, so it'll be nice and secure. Did make me laugh when I opened the pack, and found a CD of pictures of the clio "international" cage. Still, it shows the basic structure that makes up the clubman cage anyway. No pics yet Ali - it's just big...

Oh, and the roll cage has turned up. Have decided on a Custom Cages clubman cage. Poor lad who delivered it was on his lonesome, and was back at work with a dodgy knee after having surgery on it. That cage is about 25+ KG packaged up!

So after last week when @Gus and @Steven103 visited, the engine was cleaned and left to dry. I attacked it mid week with some rust remover gel that Gus left, and gave it a good clean. It got a fair bit off, but still required a lot of work. Come yesterday, @Scrooge came up and fitted the...

Another update, and quite a bit of progress was made this weekend. Massive, massive thanks to @Scrooge He came up yesterday to fit the cambelt, and then we got a bit carried away with carrying on. That resulted in the engine and gearbox being painted, the ancillaries reassembled, and dropping...

I'm using the Odyssey PC680 battery in mine. Or at least will be when the car is built up!

Ah, happy days. Slightly gutted I don't get to use the angle grinder, but I'm sure unbolting them is better.

When you say remove, is that with an angle grinder?!

@sonny172cup - saw you fitted EPAS. Can you shed any light on how the DCI rack fixes in place?

So here is the dci rack from an 04 plate. Part number matches the one in the epas thread. But how does it bolt in?!

Massive thanks today to @optical and @Steven103 Both came over today to help (when I say help, they did pretty much everything!). Gus and I got on with cleaning the engine, and we also got it on the stand. Might even be able to return @Tony Hunter his engine hoist soon I hope too! Steven...
