Cheers lads, its becoming a bit of a labour of love, which I didn't want it too (cuz track car etc etc) but I can't help but want to look after the old mk1's :) Sourced a second hand alternator which I'm picking up tonight so hopefully I can review the setup and come up with a better solution...

I've seen it back up to bloody Whatstandwell before, madness! but I suppose the chavs do love a chip or two :rasp:

I avoid it like the plague during weekends and bank holidays, it can be a nightmare! moved this way recently then chap?

rofl, matlock bath on a bank holiday? you all fail ;)

found a casualty from Bedford, alternator mount totalled :( and picked up some more shiny bits to fit, oreca wrap arounds with TRS 3" harness' in red and PMS shifter kit to try to get to fit a mk1

cheer John, yeah it performed very well so safe to say it felt at home :)

This was throttle bodied and cammed believe me. It would hardly idle at all and was spitting flames all day :)

lovely looking little thing, there was one at Bedford on Monday, red and from the sound of it cammed up to the eyeballs!lol!

Bedford First day on track in the new car, and first ever time at Bedford. Also my first time in a diff'd car. So all very new! Had a thoroughly superb day, initially thought i'd take it steady on the RSR tyres, but after literally 4 laps I came in and put the full slicks straight on and spent...

Update Well, been utterly useless at keeping this up to date but safe to say the countdown to Bedford finished and I made the day no problems. The weeks leading up to Bedford I had some more things coated to continue the green on red theme. Painted up my callipers red and fitted CL RC5+ pads...

just checked from the previous owners of my 182 (the LSD box is in my mk1 track car) and mines never had a clutch, '04 plate and 124k on it now.

yeah the clutches last forever but just get heavier and heavier I also have a phase 2 box with speedo and a quaife in it :)

lovely mate, good purchase

me as well, just bought one to fit to my track car and although I don't mind some rattling, if its properly annoying I'd like to see how to alleviate the issue DTM Cars Ltd

fair point, that's really what I meant, the service interval is half that of the cambelt but people presume its the same, hence issues

the aux belt should of been done with the cambelt really, if its not listed as being done with it I'd get it to a specialist for a check over asap to be safe, the aux belt system is the weak point on these cars

oh I'm all for lairy colours, just for some reason imo its look a bit s**t on looms. coolant pipes, covers and engine components all good, but the loom, keep it black!

keep it black chap, looms are supposed to be black so leave as is imo :)

as above, ultralegs

not sure how the ones you bought could be wrong, as far as I was aware you either have flat, radius or taper seats and a taper seat is standard at 60 degrees.

logical progression and bad/boring experiences in deviation from Clios

as above mate, its going to have rust issues, they all do, so choice is either take the hit and weld it up or ignore and just tidy up round it :)

as said on the project thread, just needs the orange side repeaters to finish the oem look imo fapping gorgeous spec and finish :)

bloody lovely, just needs the orange side repeaters back on and done ;)

ai, its to protect the fuel system in the event of a crash

half of us were still up at bloody 2am chatting crap!lol! unwise! I was absolutely shattered by the time I got in yesterday evening!

didn't realise you were at the lodge Martin. should of popped out and slummed it with the mk1 crew giving it large in the carpark!lol!

loved it, go no pictures at all pretty sure I've lost about 4lb in sweat though :)

that's why I didn't buy a library, I've told you this 1000 times Dave..
