Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] Shitty french tin with huge gaps between the cage and shell, lol.

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] Right then... plenty done, few more bits and pieces to weld, mainly blanking plates for the strut bars etc and a strut brace across inside the scuttle area. Those will probably be finished by the end of the week and then I can get it back...

Has it?

The image shows it coming with both clips, the grease and the boot, so it should... Dialogys says its for driveshafts that are 90mm at the widest part, which is the end of the boot that goes over the CV part of the driveshaft. Measure yours, if its 90mm, the one they have got is correct.

The one on the screen shot, and I assume so, never had to buy one so im not sure lol.

I just checked that on the phone when ordering some other bits, only apparently gone up by 3 quid more than that price, lol.

You'l more than likely need the outer (closest to the wheel)...

We did get some with it closed and no filter, but the trumpets dont stick through very far lol.

They will easily be able to do it... Chop Chop Weld Weld

He has got a 4wd RR though...im sure there wouldn't be a problem in running it at the start or the end?

Reply #1000 and a selection of pictures I took earlier today...

You acctually think it will be ready by mid-may? It needs MOT'ing once its on the road too, LOL!

Disposable blowtorch

Lots of heat on the adjuster rings free'd a set up in minutes that I did for someone

Fair enough, seems logical. I did have a leak from that area but i think its from the sump joint and not the crank seal itself, still not had chance to pop the sump off yet though.

Cool... Mine felt 100% fine, nice setoff, nice drive and nice low biting point. Never had any funny smells either... Crank seal fitted in situ with flywheel off, just pushed in im guessing yeah? I wasnt going to replace it but for the sake of the price of it I might...

No idea, was just the one that came with the bottom end and it went straight in. I have another flywheel that ive machined and skimmed myself so I know its 100% flat, but its obviously not yet fitted, so the other one could be nackered for all I know, looks fine to the eye though! The clutch...

Worry? hes got until the 7th July LOL!

Interesting, know where he got it from Luke? Even more interesting, didnt feel like it was slipping when driving :S

Yeah, im pretty much 100% sure it was fully lined up... Last time I had the clutch off I couldnt get the box back on until it was 100% lined up perfect, so im guessing if its not lined up it wont go on? Think im just going to get one of those Valeo ones above, same as standard and seems an OK...

Getting there! Quite a bit changed since I called in a few weeks ago lol

Yeah, guessing check for the bit of slack up on the fork end?

Nope, Im running 172 fork/arm, box bracket, 172 pivot bush, 172 release bearing :(

Re: One Year on & £**** spent LOL at the grinder marks all over the old disc, dont you just love them torx retaining screws?

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] Ah, I ran the column lowered by 10mm last year, which I think was one of the main things that put more stress on the original mount. So basically I made the new mount to that height, so it should be just where it was last year. I also...

Daz Clio Cup has 421s/Jenveys/Omex, but has high comp pistons in too, made about 220bhp iirc.

Putting pressure on the bearing and turning it turns smoothly but every so often (every few turns) there feels like there is a notch/dirt under it, like its a bit gritty... sound fucked?

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] Yeah, I did think about if the bearing in the column went, or if the column got damaged etc, but decided against thinking about that possibility until it happens, so just welded it solid. I doubt Il be going properly manual anytime soon...

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] If I was welding it myself then yeah maybe... but Im not ;)

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] No, I just went straight in with profiling the CDS taking it bit by bit until it was a perfect fit...never thought of using either of those to get the profile correct, good idea lol. As for welding solid its already been done, was one of...
