A few shots from Oulton Park on Saturday

 

[Matthew]

Car looks ace!

 

[JAParker]

how haven't i seen this car around here!

 

[mike1pow]

The car wears its grey wheels day to day, the reds only come out on track.

Ordered a PMS shifter kit which will be going on shortly...........

 

[mike1pow]

Seemed to be getting a lot of tire rubbing last time out. Will have to add a little more camber and see if that helps. It's not overly low and I'm on 50N front springs. Could of possibly been the large tires I run, 195/50/16. Might have to get the 2118's any try them out

Got any updated pictures of the engine bay now Mike?

Looks so good!

 

[mike1pow]

Not much changed since the jenvey's went on. Just the top mounts. Need to get a breather filter for the catch tank, might crack on with it this avey. Will get a few more shots when I get in later

The lid on the mocal catch tank is a breather.

I know but the second input/outlet is open and there is a constant smell of oil in the car. Plus it will tidy it up a little

Same as mine to be honest. A breather on the outlet wont stop that though. You'd need to get a pipe and re route it somewhere low with a breather on the end.

It's on my to do list once I get other priorities out the way.

 

[mike1pow]

Oil smell sorted - ran another length of hose down the back and out next to the dogbone.

PMS linkage kit from the current group buy has arrived and will be fitted in the coming week

Looking good Mike, be interested to have a look at the pms shifter.

 

[aucky]

Shifter installed yet boyo?

 

[mike1pow]

Not yet pal, it on the to do list.

Fixed an oil leak this morning though.

Had a couple of pools of oil on top of the cam cover, close to cylinder 4. Tried re sealing the bolts around the area but to no avail.

The only other thing it could of been is the VVT trigger seal. I found the part number - 77 00 106 385 - £12.31

Fitted it just and hey presto, no more leaks!

Old on left, New on right

Old seal out, new about to go in. Showing pools of oil too

Shifter kit getting fitted this afternoon.....

 

[Jack 172]

Stunning example, as above I think 2118s would be good

 

[Chi]

Just found this thread, great little car and quick progress.

 

[mike1pow]

Thanks Chi

shifter kit is installed and it feels great. S2000 like in the mechanical feel.

Will be going for a drive out soon to get used to it, feels alien having the knob as high as it is

 

[Chi]

What track days have you got planned

 

[mike1pow]

Was thinking of doing silverstone on August 4th, no others planned for now

 

[Chi]

That's miles off.. nothing sooner?

 

[mike1pow]

Nothing in the pipeline, trying to save as well as build the car, bloody difficult!

 

[Chi]
