Winter Update Thought i may aswell stick a quick update. So the father in law has had the car a couple months now, he has now got a second cobra sebring in for the passenger with a Schroth harness, carbon door cards fitted upfront then just some front and rear strut braces. He has also...

Re: Mk1 F4R/172'd Track Car Project I looked for this car at FCS for ages and couldnt find the bloody thing. Shame about the wheel though mate. Get some descent studs fitted.

Update Bit of an update. Good update for me aswell. The girlfriends dad is buying the car from me. Lets just say he has some sersouis issues and is not scared of spending money. Not going to say too much untill its decided but will be impressive. Im sure Fred will agree that what ever he goes...

Just to let you all know. The price has now dropped to £5000

I have standard dampers but with 25mm PI springs as thats what it came on. The price does have a descent amount of movement in it and am willing to just do it with one set of wheels extra.

Final Update. As a fair have seen already the car is up for sale. :( Gutted. Was hoping to keep the car off the road for most this year but i just carnt justify it at the moment. I need something i can use everyday for work so its got to be changed...

Bit of good news for the car today, in search of the knocking and too see if it is the driveshaft i stripper the front end down. Front bumper was off so i could just replace the under tray part. Stripped all parts down, checked everything for play, took the driveshafts to get checked and...

I think most peoples thoughts to it would be 'what is balancing?' Mite be worth giving a descent description out Fred so people can make sure

Only double the price but at least it mite last. Am waiting to hear if its covered by warrenty as will just replace as it was through driveline who have gone bust.

Here some crazy price though from Renault ent they?

Was a Dave Mac driveshaft. Was done through a mate at central autos but has now left so hes trying to chase for me at the moment.

Not got round to stripping the front as been bust but the bottom mount is ok. The front bolts where slightly loose but made no difference. Everything on the front is fine. Just the passenger driveshaft seems to move allot in the gearbox so need to get that replaced I think. It's only a thousand...

Yea i was runing close onto 4-5 degrees of camber. so over kill really but gald i did. Driveshaft is new so hopefully not that. Doesnt sound or feel like it at all. Will try the gearbox mount.

God damn car is annoying me. Since the weekend i have had a knock on the front end. You can only feel it through the floor. Mainly on the passenger side but can be felt on the drivers slightly. Theres not feed back through the steering or pedals. Had checked tightness on everything but not...

The yellow stuffs seem to hold up fairly well to be honest. good price and good bite

Glad i have a store of 12 R888 as there really not cheap anymore. better of buying AO48s as will last allot better

Matt your car just looks awesome in that pic for some reason. Just looks so different to your normal scooby

Yea used them in heavy rain. Just up the psi slightly and there awesome. Loads of grip

I use r888's mate. Yea there is but nothing to worry about. Am using kw v2's so nothing I can really do

OK so here are some pictures. As you can see it was fairly wet but still lots of grip. Had been playing with the camber settings last weekend so that was fun but have noticed there was still allot of wear on the outside of the front left. Brakes have also basically gone through...

Some how i have never actualy seen this thread. Car looks good though mate.

Good to see you on here ferg. Seem to have a fair few shed lads on here.

Right so had the first track day of the year yesterday and it went very well. Car performed amazingly all day. Started off as a wet day but dried up for the after lunch so go some good sessions in. Car felt amazing and seemed to have so much grip in both the wet and the dry. Will get some...

Cheers mate. Theres some really good pictures on shed including the spin so will get them up once they have been sent over to me.

OK, car seemed good mate. What sort of spec is it? Progress thread?

Well saw a couple of cliosport lads at the Shed motorsport day yesterday. Couple of light blue 182's, Manco 172 and orange 1*2? Who where they?

i think there pretty good really. good track car, good do with more power though.

Re: someph-ing different........... Very good choice on harness mate. Love my Schroth, look the dogs

Well been driving on the new pads a bit recently and am very impressed with them over the DS2500's. Got to say though i am tempted to go back onto the standard the calipers so if anyone is interested in these let me know.

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] Carnt be more fair then that. Seems pretty genuine. Hopefully the new one will woek out mate.
