Fantastic to see this coming together so well, amazing attention to the detail. Love the Ly wheels but especially how clean it all looks in terms of build and finish. Loves a good build thread!
Think we all feel like we talk to ourselves on build threads tbh at times. I definitely do building my little odd ball.Cheers, tbh at times I feel like I’m talking to myself 😂
Next up is new pads and discs for the front, alignment/corner weighting, MOT and finish all the little bits. My aim is to put a few road miles on it and then a trackday (or evening) at Bedford in preparation for the Ring trackday in October.
After that I literally want to use it as much as possible!
Cheers
Cheers! I try to have a good attention to detail but I also do a good job of hiding the rusty bolts with camera angles 😂 The LY looks better in real life TBH and should look even better on a race track and not on my drive!

Just read the whole thread, love it mate amazing attention to detail on this little weapon of a track car, will come for a nosey if we are ever on the same trackday
Cheers! Yeah now it’s looking like a car again it definatly re lights the desire to get it finished.Great to see this come back together so quickly, it feels so positive when it is back down on its wheels doesn't it.
Love the look of it on the TD's, they sit so well in the arches.... the colour of the 2118's thought is spot on...

I was a bit worried about the 2118 colour but it’s a track car so colours are allowed?!
I don’t know the offset without looking tbh. They’re 16’ and off of the blue car I raced. I bought them off of Russ who owns the blue car. They look big at the front atm as the 20mm spacer is still on there from the 15’ wheels.Agreed... personally way prefer the TD's though. What the sizing/offset on them? - they fit so well
Looks awesome, worth every bit of blood sweat and tears 👌🏻👌🏻
inspiration to get on with mine for sure! And
You defo need this printed by 21ten / @Nafoff

Cheers, I run have the standard setup so can’t help you with thatAwesome work mate,
Also in a similar boat with regards to tax/insurance and MOT.
Just checking, do you run a single wiper, and if so how? (what mech etc)
Yeah but this car sits between race car, garage queen, fake race car, a beat up old Clio, a track car and many other things but ultimately a car I care about so it’s always a compromise. Remember I’ve driven a rattly old 182 race car and I’d rather sacrifice 0.1s a lap and lug around a few extra KGs to feel relatively comfortable and secure.There is still a good amount of weight in them doors to come out! I have managed to get 10kg out of each of the Twingo ones.
I like your work it's clean and tidy
@Hyperhatch Do you have any closeup shots of the brembos under your 15s depicting the amount of clearance you have please?
Thats perfect. Looks about as tight on my 1.2s. You've not had any issues with them being that close then? I can't see anyone would to be fair.It depends on which wheel tbh. The 2118s are the closes on the inner lip. It’s hard to see but this is probably the best photo

*Apart from all the fettling bits
TBH I can’t remember. I thought I had a photo but I don’t. I’ll have a look when I get a min. Mine are a little to long. I’ve kinked them slightly and cables tied them so the hoop is just hanging out of the bumper. If I need to use them then they will snap as they’re thin ties.Looking very good sir!

Cheers! Some poor spelling and grammar to get through but we’ve been on a journey over the yearsTaken me all day to read this thread! Time well spent.
Why only 3 laps
