New addition to pop on soon, big thanks to Ant at ACS for hooking me up with some shiny shiny sexy sexy kit!
So add this, get the geo done (me half pissed with some string probably) and once the welding is done I can get a trackday booked!
oh and fuel lines to sort this weekend hopefully!
cheers

More updates :smile: love summer, crack on and get stuff done!
changed the positive terminal cover on the odyssey so thought would be wise add one to the track car too, as the terminal is now sideways mounted its easily shortable when working on the flywheel end of the engine, safety first!
then replaced the cam sensor seal as it was pissing oil out all over
soggy old one
bagged up new one
Cat hiding trying to help in a random one!
marks on the casting from a presumably messed up previous attempt, hope new one seal!
new seal fitted
sensor refitted
Breather plate as standard
then chopped down and refitted
air filter swap to fit behind headlight better without pressing on the foam of the pipercross
green one sounds meaner as well even just static revving on the drive
pikie respray of cam cover next, couple coats of primer then teknik grey alloy wheel paint, hopefully hold up okay but we'll see as zero proper prep as I'm super lazy!
and finished result with new magnecor leads fitted (controversial I know but they were kicking about so figured why not to continue the random colour theme!
cheers

So fuel system this weekend, ever since I've had the car its been on a lash up of mk1 and 172 lines.
Bodged together, hardline into flexi directly, etc. Fuel filter last changed in god know when, so something needed to be done.
Plan is to remove all the old stuff, replace with internally routed braided lines and just clip connectors onto original fixings at rail end and pump end. No need for fanboy top fuel drag racing spec connectors and hoses, its just a cheap track car!lol!
So step one, rip the old s**t off the car, ensure remember which goes where to what
usual start off well, end up in mess work area!lol.
Passenger seat out to get at line routing
Pita to work with braided line, so I drilled two holes into the rear of the car to make a direct line to the in tank sender unit. One for feed one for return, first line in to mock up vague routing from back to front of cabin and through bulkhead to engine bay.
Then in all honesty just cracked on as it was taking a while cutting, routing, trimming and swearing at the damn things!!lol!
Done, it'll do for me, checked and had one leak at tank end as I forgot to do up a clip, nipped it and sorted fired up first go.
Used pipe spacers to keep the lines neat, all I need now is to grab some P clips to fix them down to the chassis.
cheers

Well, MOT failed as expected on welding, two more patches needed and the sill on the drivers side which I knew about.
Only other issue in 13 months of being laid up is the wiper motor decided to seize so need to source a new one of those too.
So should hopefully have her back and on the road in next week or so properly excited now to drive the thing, been too long!

Paint in hand
rattle can job like a boss! zero f***s given ;-)
Mess all over the place as ever, working neat is not in my nature! despite initial best intentions, the excruciating heat didn't help matters in all honesty!
painted the scuttle for about the 23rd time, need to strip back the old paint and do it right one day, but i'm impatient!
and pads that I thought were on their last legs......not so much! CL RC6's and appear to be like new still, lol! bonus!
Cadwell is all official now too, booked day off work and booked the trackday itself as well! miiiiiiint!
cheers

So
with Cadwell booked for 13th July and the MOT passed, figured it was time to sort the roll centre kit and fit that.
First job was to remove the hubs for cleaning and painting, I love working on this car these days, everything has been off and anti seized and Powdercoated etc so relatively clean and quick to work on with very few 'nasty' surprises
Also decided to drain the box oil and remove the shafts to refurb them as well, may as well go all out!
in bits:
some bits
hubs
bit of a tickle from the wire wheel on the drill later
lick of hammerite hammered black paint
both done
similar treatment for the shafts
and end of post, lol! got to split it up now as adding pics direct which is max 10 so I'll break it up into logical sections. Damn you photobucket!!!

So onto the fun bit......roll kit install!
first and foremost, its lovely looking bit of gear, very rare for me to splash out on new stuff in all honesty as i'm basically tight!
unboxing is fun and Ant has included some great instructions which make fitting the kit a doddle on the drive with basic tools. best part being no modding the hubs, this is a straight swap for the o/e kit, so if the old stuff comes off, the new goes on! didn't even need tech support from @ACS_Motorsport ;-)
only slight thing to note is the Williams rack on the mk1 I have is a female inner tie rod fitment, so I had to swap the inners for some mk2 clio ones with the male inners. Had to be earlier sport of poverty spec model too as the 182 cup inners are wider and I had set of those and set of phase 1 172 kicking about and for my application the 182 were too long.
so, bit of Loctite, bit of anti seize and a few clicks on the torque wrench as she was fitted! pics!!
kit as boxed
tools
lower ball joint mounted to hub
and mounted to car, it was very quick and easy to do and I just used a jack to jack up under the bottom joint to lift it against the arb tension to the wishbone
after that, I decided to just smash all the camber I could on for a giggle as I need to geo the car properly anyway once I have some new tie rods which @ACS_Motorsport is also supplying for me

Next I refilled the box oil and as the car had had an engine oil change recently also, decided to treat it to new header tank and some coolant too
tank fitted
I then flushed the system, removing most of the pipework to get rid of as much of the old coolant as I could. then filled with nice new type D
and the engine bay as it stands now
Had some R888's kicking about, few track days left in them so slung them on some willy wheels I have
and then weighed all 3 sets of wheels, just noticed one weight didn't show but all recorded below!
1: 15" Speedline Maracanã, Nankang NS2-R Tyres (195/50 R15) - 17.3Kg
2: 15" Speedline Williams, Toyo R888 Tyres (205/50 R15) - 15.8kg
3: 15" OZ Superleggera, Michelin Slicks (205/50 ish equivalent) - 11.3Kg
so 6kg per corner saved with the slicks, 24kg total! big big unsprung weight save there!

so, car back together, waaaaay to much camber on and tracked by eye on a wonky drive, I grabbed my phone, taxed the sucker and blasted off out into Derbyshire!!!
what a motor!!! drove awful, pulling all over the place and tramlining like a right git, so no review of the ACS kit yet as I badly need to geo the car, get it to 2.5 deg neg camber and 10 mins toe out and then I'll review for @ACS_Motorsport . There was glimpses though on my little jaunt out, the turn in felt incredible, so much so I nearly stuck it into a wall on the inside of a very tight corner on the little test route I use, it just turned the second I touched the wheel.....so I'm very very excited to see how it goes once geo'd and on slicks at Cadwell.......ooooooooo!!
So couple of pics, first one is from when I first got the car out of storage and then the rest are from Sunday evening as she stands now, 3 years or so on!
cheers

I fear tin worm is eating it from the ground up - needs sills, rear wing, who knows what else...
But it was so f**king amazing to drive, I just want to resto it but haven't got the cash!!
