Was this engine fitted to an espace? What sort of power did it make in that spec, 140bhp?

After the event I was at last weekend, im going to make sure my cage is well prepared :) http://www.madvideo.demon.co.uk/page21.htm

Many many pennies. Got a rough quote of £1500+vat for custom built cage + fitting + seat runners + sill jacking points. Not sure how much it will be in the end though, depends on how much we ask him to do (strut top changes / rear shock mounting strengthening etc) Just FYI, the quote I had...

Not alot to update, going to start to get the car ready to go away and get cage put in and some other work done on it. In the meantime, just welded new inner wings on, sealed the seams and given a coat of primer.

Yeah, they must be evil and s**t if they want to actually try and make some money!!

Hmm, last time I looked the Logan cup cars were a bog standard car all round, apart from with safety features like a cage.

I want to make a fibreglass one...

Reworked oil channels in the block?

You can't get much better than AP brakes.... but they are very expensive. Looking at 3 times the price of Wilwoods probably

Re: My mk1 track car blog I think you should cut the crap, junk the torsion bars and turret the rear.

There will be a fitment for the new caliper, not an individual clio one

Im sure they probably do them, ive used Willwood, Mintex, Hawk and Ferodo pads with my superlite wilwoods

I can do it with my road car, but cant do it for the life of me on my rally car. Think it is a combination of pedal placement, pedal height, the gearbox and concentrating on not hitting anything that screws it up Plus you cant just blip that engine, you have to give it a good prod.

that was 50% what i paid for my car, ripoff

Actually had to replace both a year ago; not the fault of the calliper though, more the fact that when the wheel got ripped off behind some armco it broke the casting. Use hubs and rotors from rally design, have had a couple warp and one break violently under heavy braking (although it was...

it means you have separate adjustment on the damper for rebound, slow speed bump and fast speed bump

Wash your mouth out. Front complete strut Front insert without casing Rear shock All round 3 way adjustable suspension

...is a set of these

I have had Willwood superlights on my Mk 1 for years and they have had much more punishment then they would on the road or on a circuit and have had few problems with them.

My old one was originally dyno'd at 240bhp

The wheel well is so thin you would probably put more weight in by welding a plate on. And what if he wants to carry a spare wheel occasionally :p

The blobby wide welds and the heat distorsion... what settings were you using for 3mm plate? Don't get me wrong, i'm craptastic at it; but thats why im getting a professional to fit my cage as I wouldnt trust anyone who wasn't to weld something that is there to prevent me from serious injury

If you hate it so much i'll take it off your hands for £50

I had a PECO exhaust on my Fiat Coupe and it wasnt a problem at all. Just droned a bit at cruising speeds, but that was down to having the larger bore size

Why god why?

Because it's... you know... illegal?

Dont take the bolt all the way off else you will end up twatting yourself with it

You're neighbours must love you ;)

I dont know if you HAVE to, but I am assuming that all new cars coming with high level brake lights since about 1996 isnt a complete coincidence
