as above, be fine matey if you just square up the bolts as normal and torque them up nicely :)

I've been using board tape for years as car mats in stripped cars, for a neater/more o/e sort of finish I just use the original mats as a template and chop out actual mat shaped cutouts of the tape :)

f**k ugly?

i think my camel is slightly quicker, but in runs out of puff top end unfortunately and only on sand

efa

I had S drives few years back I acquired, they were nearly dead but for the couple of k I did on them I found them thoroughly excellent

as above, swing and a miss, I played same round other week and ended up with two fubar alternators in the shed now,lol!

if its exclusively for track days, see if you can source some full slicks, imo nothing comes even remotely close (only disadvantage is you more than likely will require decent suspension to cope and some TDO's only allow slicks with roll over protection) also consider the second hand market...

ha, girl trap well and truly sprung, fail

lol, we've not all got your money mate, the red one is my serious track car ;)

get it bought Mr.Potato before I do........and scrap it :rasp:

f**k you Daz. ;) x

A lot, brakes up front, sills and front jack points need welding and entire interior piece back together from scratch, lol!!

Realistically we're talking next year I reckon but you'll be more than welcome chap :)

I am thinking of building it a home but tbh I just want it back on the road. Cheers Chip-mk1 red one is a decent little tool for the job, I don't love it like the turbo but it's thoroughly excellent at what I built it for :)

........and gave the old girl a quick wash. cant wait to get her back on the road :) looking bit neglected inside, someones moved in! washed drive reorganised

Well, fixed the driveshaft (cheers AndyRG) and went to Cadwell on Saturday. Rainy start, sliding all over on the RSR's but after sorting the misting issues got a reasonable morning session in the damp done. Then just before lunch the track began to dry so on went the slicks. Afternoon was...

nightmare job on the car, i usually do it with frame off (its always fallen nicely like that, car in bits proper :) ) but tbh you should be able to mole grip the side of the clamp and clamp it into pretty much the right location. if your struggling that much there must be something else amiss...

saw it on A6 other day near whatstandwell, giving it the big one coming over the bridge, bwarp!

lol, busted, no mate I've been far to lazy. i'll try find time this week :)

buy the right tools, sell them on after, done

mine runs single backbox and that's it and think it did 96 static iirc at bedford

agreed, I think they are god awful looking things, amazing how just changing the wheels and giving it a different colour ruins the car...and don't get me started on that interior

SUPRISE a pikie ;)

welcome tbh you pretty much have it covered, 3k is a healthy budget and should see a 'good' one and the main points of interest are the belts/dephaser history. after that its just usual things to watch for, wear and tear on components etc etc

it'll be easier and a better fix mate, helicoil on an engine mount is less than ideal and its a reasonably simple job to swap the cover over

probably not as if the other two bolts are tight then there wont be any play in that joint however if the rubber parts of the mounts are worn (not just that engine mount, but any of them) could be causing the issue. although usually you'll feel that through the whole car, not just the pedal so...

easiest way is get hold of another middle cambelt cover and bolt it on to replace the threaded one tbh

think there are 10 odd clios booked up yeah for this weekend, should be a giggle (around 7 meganes too and my personal favourite.........a reliant kitten!)

I know man I've done it several times and one wet evening session that began dry so I went into a lap on full slicks as it started smashing down. full slicks are okay when its damp if you keep heat in them but that was like noah's flood so rest of the lap before I could pull into the pits and...
