Rb182cup+s2 rallye
ive just done a quick add up of hours spent on it. turns out it was around 49 hours spent with between 1 and 3 people working on it. also if i was a normal customer off the street the wok taken on here would come to around 2.5k. i got it all done ridiculously cheap thankfully else i wouldnt of bothered with the effort.
Hence the respray?

to be fair i couldnt care less what it looks like i got it to have some fun in when i felt like it i didnt go buy it with this all in mind i just did it because it cost me 400 quid. plus it would of just added to the pain of others when this went flying past looking like a shitter.
Cracking effort.
Rb182cup+s2 rallye
another day at the unit and the putting together has continued. The tanks back in, exhaust on, shifters in, all the body panels minus the rear side windows and the windscreen are now on, all aero catches on.
I stripped the rear loom of what wasn't needed and had left that loose and not taped up. Theres shite loads that can be taken out the front but for now ill get it running and trim that back another time.
ive re routed the fuel lines as without thinking put them in wrong yesterday. the battery now has a decent place through the bulkhead and not just stuck through a random hole.
its just little bits that don't seem to be getting anywhere but slowly it is, it isn't helped by the fact im proper slow when working on cars and easily annoyed.
some pics of how its left today, just seems to never end.

So finally we got the car rolling and working theres still loads to do but its now home, wouldnt exactly call it safe with a battery zip tied down to the passenger seat rails but it had to be out the workshop.
The guy came to do the screen 45 quid fitted for a new one was a decent price. The rear polycarbs where bonded in the same as the screen then pop riveted with black rivets as the holes where already there.
I got new wiper blades for it and satin blacked the scuttle panel to neaten it up along with the other black trim bits.
There was faults we had to figure out, mainly earths in the end but its now sorted just needs one hell of a tidy up.
Things still to do...
Need to buy a lightweight battery and locate it in the back of the car as the passenger seat is as far back as possible theres no room for the bulky box it previously had.
Massive loom chop and tidy up.
Make some kind of panel for the fuses etc
Make a dash clock surround to hide wires etc, plan on getting it flocked.
Fit passenger seat and buy new harness, kinda feeling the one seat look tho?
Fit wing mirrors and figure out some kind of base plate for them.
Undecided on decals? i cant have them on boot or bonnet as aero catches are in the way.
Sun visors, i hate t**t strips so need to figure something new out.
Satin black the bottom of the bumper.
Do something about the rear screen and the white stripe around the edge
A stick on plate for the bottom of the bumper.
And then more thats just off the top of my head.
it feels incredible to finally of drove it home, after such a effort over Christmas. heres some pics of it as it stands.
And one with the clio as that had passed its mot yesterday. its been a good weekend for my cars.
and a sneeky shot of the rallye and austens freshly painted evo 2

I loved this before but I love it even more now.
Rb182cup+s2 rallye
been working away on this doing odds and sods mostly loom taking wires out extending some etc been in no rush. i had made something to cover the wires in the corner but didnt like it so got rid and just zip tied them up until i decide what to actually do.
id drilled out the thread that was used tp hold the shifter plate down and replaced them with allen head bolts, i did the same with the handbrake.
i fitted the battery under the passenger seat, fitted perfectly
the rear loom all sorted and protected.
had some carbon mirror base plates made up, ill get these fitted tomorrow hopefully.
then i decided id done enough working on it any little bits can be sorted another time, i just want to drive it.
some snaps still plenty more needs doing.
ive bought 2 harnesses off evogone, altho ive not heard anything for nearly a week lol.
still plenty to do, may give the wheels a quick paint to brighten them up, ive not cleaned them since buying the car.

same colour mate all done with the same paint, probably just the pic.
bit of a update as the wheels where letting the car down i had them painted
took the rallye for a spin over matlock.
can you see the guy to the right of the car on his arse? you may have to look closely, he had been trying to climb the wall with picks and fallen off. you can see him in the other pictures hanging on. perfect timing shot.
got some new 3 inch 6 point harnesses
i also had the base plates put on when the wheels where done it looks good but the mirrors where only cheapo and the metal quality poor so one of them we broke, im going to come up with a new idea on how to re fit them.

As it was a nice day i went and pestered my dad for some motion pics, we didnt have long as dinner was on. we only nipped out for 10 mins and these are what he got. they aint the best as he said he had the wrong lense for the job of what i wanted and i didnt have any makeup on.
Rb182cup+s2 rallye
ive had the week off and have been busy with the rallye again. ive had a long list of things to do,
fit s1 gearbox
sort the loom properly
relocate horn
relocate washer bottle
paint the lower lip on the bumper
mount the oil cooler
oil change
and also had the gearbox and engine oils to do on the clio.
im a slow worker and took my time had abit of a ball ache with the gearbox doing it alone was tricky especially when you give up on things as easily as i do.
some shots.... getting the box off was easily enough
box back in
oil cooler on
and mounted behind bumper. could do with taking bumper off and trimming it as its a little tight now.
bumper before
and after, not the best job up close but itll do.
i had also previously fitted a omp strut brace id got nice and cheap
i got the loom started today but doing it in the car was giving me back ache so its slow progress i spend more time sat back in the seat than i do crouched over cutting and soldering. more updates tomorrow...
