Maynard's 172 Track Car Project

Plans are:

Fit brake air feeds
Cambelt/dephaser change
Delete air con
Service with new leads
Poly bush the wishbones and anti roll bar
Poly carbs
Source and fit cage

And quite a few more bits that I haven't quite decided on yet.

Love having the option of being able to just do the job and if i don't finish it that day it doesn't matter as i haven't got to have it running again for Monday morning!

Good good makes sense really.

There's quite a few options on tow cars, I went with something with a bit more luxury for day to day too.

Will you need a licence to tow the car or just risk it?

As far as I understand the weights/law I should be okay, but for the sake of a couple of hundred quid, I'm going to do the test. Could come in handy if I ever need it and I'm safe in the knowledge it's all legal.

I need to also do all of the above!

Having another daily driver is great, nice one mate.

All the forms sent off now so car is all sorted as SORN'd, just waiting on the confirmation back from the DVLA now.

Been down to the car to the first time today, only a 10 minute job.

Swapped over the mirrors for some new manual one's I got from work. Little bit lighter (not by much) and they look x100 better too.

I haven't posted on this forum for a good few months now. The reason for this is that i have only been coming on here to get some ideas for when i buy a cliosport in the next couple of months. I have sat here tonight and have spent just over 3 hours reading your posts and skipping everyone else's and I have to say, you have done a fantastic job on this car, cannot wait to read the next update! .. Top work fella, very inspiring! :cool:

Smooth :)

My left hand one had broken, motor packed up causing the switch to burn out a little while back. I wanted black mirrors anyways and for the price I got them ;) I couldn't turn it down!

Sweet car, debating stripping my 182 completely when I get it. The last car I stripped I took everything out including the dash, just 2 seats and a steering wheel in my old Saxo VTS, went like stink!
