Cheers guys, she's nearly there I think @Brigsy didn't get to exploit it due to the grip and injector issues but hopefully next time she'll be fully on point!

17-03-2019 Cadwell Park So, the car was ready, steady cruise over to Louth on Sunday morning with the car loaded up with the slicks. Weather looked to be holding off despite recent rain and there was 3 mk1's going to be in attendance. Set off excited as a kid at Christmas. Few warm up laps...

Top mounts for the bilstein arrived today Happy times

Bet that lot cost more than the car did Now put a front splitter on it ;)

Nothing new to report, still cranking the miles, she's sat on 195k nearly now and currently tucked up with some company in the Jetways car parks at Manchester airport whilst I'm in France for work Rust has got worse so I've bought Coilovers for the Odyssey to fix that...….man logic :) I may...

The new sensor did assist yes as car knew it was warm so wasn't running on cold start idle rpm anymore

Not done much with the car over winter, just run it up to temp and taken it up and down my private road to keep everything free every couple of weeks. But now springs coming I've done some more buying so got bilstein b14 coilovers ready to go on, sabelt wheel (maybe), new top mounts and had my...

Welcome, looks to be a cup packed car, there's two packs, performance and style (maybe called something different) performance consists of different springs, dampers and front stub axles and anthracite (ish) wheels. Style consists of front splitter and rear spoiler. If your car has both the...

Depends, road car nothing, keep it stock and it'll drive nicer on UK roads day to day and hold value better imo. Track car, exclusively or just occasionally then loads of purchasing fun to be had.

Welcome, best colour and from personal experience it'll last the same mileage again and then some, mine's a daily driver still and knocking on the door of 194k

Pointless on a road car imo

I use the same pc680 odyssey and behaves well, however on a road car begs the question.... why?

Good stuff then, result

Drivers side looks like had plate repair anyway? Or that just trick of light in pic?

Next on list for mine is sill trims and all front arches off and same plan of attack

No didn't bother with actual paint, just the bilt hamber hydrate then hammerite wxoyl

Nosey on my Instagram @ben_cooper_83 Or search the media forums for odyssey posts by me and you should find some more

Exactly what I did, wire brushed lot, then over few days good few coats of hydrate 80 then few coats of hammerite with waxoyl

Looks similar to my rb that although gone further up the inner panel on yours to where rub strip mounts

For that I'd expect more, chop out all that metal and replace plus anything underneath that's gone will need replacing to weld to, 1000 a side I'd be budgeting minimum

Mine wasn't, same as my 172 so I lathered it up when I treated the inner sills. Which had surface rust in them too, worse than the phase 1, so basically get your rear cards out and check imo

Shouldn't be, the aux system auto tensions

It wants rechecked imo chap to be sure, they're very finicky the belt replacement jobs on these engines and easy to get wrong

Who fitted it, and was it tensioned correctly. Sounds to be like it's been over tensioned

Ooft that last pic....incredible stuff

Look spot on to me @Ant1 you happy?

sound, let me know if they look genuine, correct etc etc and I'll get a set ordered I reckon @Ant1

did these show up then as expected @Ant1

Mega deal, if it works out @Ant1 let me know as I'll buy a set for stock

Tbh on an obviously fast car that does nothing for me, needs to be a 1970 Talbot with a rb26 or something to make it work
