Not that im aware of im afraid

I Doubt it. It seems to be a curtain side lorry box modified to fit onto an old trailer chassis. Bought it from a removals company who used it once and found it far too big. The guy before transported cars in it. Just seems doubtful a Porsche dealership would have used such a stunning trailer...

Mark fish made up a complete car loom for mine from scratch. Depends on your budget and what you want out of your car.

Yea the paints crap but it cost me £300 total for everything. By the end id got ok at it so the bootlid now isn't actually too bad and was done with cheap paint 😂 but yea its rubbish. In the process of building a proper paint shop for work so might get myself a proper paint job one...

At Combe before the dreaded happened. Replacing the bottom end bearings and inspecting everything. And that pretty much brings us up to today!

Bought a cheap trailer off eBay and modified it a bit to carry my car and kit. It's not pretty but it does the job and didn't cost a lot. Will do until i can afford a nice race shuttle. I've since treated it to some paint, refreshed the brakes and reinforced the ramp.

Yea not bad, can't remember the figure off the top of my head, think its about 180 lb/ft. Yea it was really annoying! All rebuilt now tho, just waiting on some hoses for the oil cooler then we're all good to go.

Yep this is the one!

Some build photos: The therapeutic smashing up of the old rusty shell Shell prep:

Hi guys, thought it was about time to upload a few pictures of my race car that ive been building over the last few years with the aim to race in the tricolore trophy in class A. I would write a spec list but you can safely assume it has the vast majority of stuff you can get for these cars...

Much dislike :( those f1 peeps better be paying you well for stealing all your time!

Come on rich you better have some time for a track day over the winter so that I can battle u in my Clio Didn't realise your thread was also on here

Seen a few people using them in Motorsport applications, we've never bothered as the benefit is negligible in real terms. The bearings are also hideously expensive and useless when it comes to impact loading (kerb on a race track). You can get hybrid bearings with some ceramic bits and some...

Thanks for that. Will get one ordered.

What does IACV stand for sorry? And do I need it (obviously the hole will need blanking even if no sensor is fitted)

Hi guys, I've just swapped from a ph2 inlet manifold to a ph1 so that I can run a cable operated throttle. Anyway theres a hole in the back of it by the throttle body where a sensor clearly goes but what is it as there isn't one on the ph2 inlet?

Quick update: My new seat finally arrived on friday so i set about fitting it. Also did a few other bits n bobs tidying things up and cutting up bits of carbon to blank off holes. I also rolled the rear archs to give a bit more clearance as its a bit tight with the spacers on. Oh and i...

Hi guys, I've bought a polo rad for my clio race car. Was wondering if anyone knew where I can get a blanking plug from to fit the threaded hole on it. Think its 24mm but looking om ebay hasn't brought anything up.

THE Dave mac/Gripper diffs lads arn't doing fitting anymore. I've just ordered my diff and cwp this week and asked about them fitting it. In the end just stuck the gbox on a pallet and sent it to agency transmissions.

Well i've been flat out on the house these last few weeks but i had this last weekend off so went to Monaco to watch the historic F1 which was amazing. My gearbox is now at agency transmissions and they should be receiving a Gripper lsd and cwp in the next few days. Will also throw a shorter...

Bad times Tony :( Hope you get it fixed up soon and it doesn't cost the earth. I came over after race one, saw the car and thought i better leave introductions to another time lol! Had a really good chat with Ian though who was really helpful, can't wait to get on the grid next year!

Thanks guys, yea i noticed the callipers were wrong lol the actual callipers are the right way but the carriers need swapping round. Well originally the car was going to be a cheap track toy so i was looking for the best suspension i could get for under £1000 so i bought the spax and i didn't...

google gripper diffs. i've just ordered a gripper lsd and a shorter ratio cwp. will also be fitting a shorter 5th gear from a renault megane.

And that pretty much sums up where I'm up to atm :) got a load of things in the pipeline so hopefully not too long before its finished but progress will be slow as I'm also building a house with my brother atm so all hands are on deck and unfortunately that has to take priority. Feel free to...

Hey guys, long time lurker and been secretly picking all of your brains and buying stuff off of here so i thought it was about time you all knew what i was up to! :D I've been MSA karting for the last 8 years which was brilliant fun and i came 4th in the nationals last year but I thought it was...

Ah nips! thought they would be the same. Thanks for that :)

Anyone??
