Nimbus Grey 197
So it's been knocking it's titts off lately with one thing or another broken gearbox mount then managed to sort out the noise from my exhaust on my arb
and still knock knock after I go over a couple of bumps and today after a couple of hours funnily found the culprit
The pin was moving up and down and you can just make out the score on the bolt so got a new one and went for a little test drive and thank god it feels nice and no noise
Finished cleaning it the other day to
I've got some forge hoses that are coming to clean up the bay so when they do I'll get some paint and give the whole bay a nice tidy and picture

Got some new forge hoses for Christmas and you can just see the diff seal on there so I will be work over the next week

My hose fitting was going so well got the rad out everything was going good
Whilst everything was out the way I decided to check my pms air-con delete kit as it was looking a bit bent and took it apart and it was snapped
No pictures of this as I was annoyed and just kept putting the rest of the hose kit on
So went online to get the new pms bracket and found they are away until the new year but not to worry I have just fitted my new diff seal and have also orderd the mass damper kit for my shifter kit but again for the 100000000000000 time this year it will sit like this for a couple more days

I can't help but look at your wheels and think that they'd look awesome in fully green!
Nice car buddy, I like what you've done to it. I'm looking at the same seats/harnesses for mine, when I get one. Where did you buy them from?

Yeah there my Winter wheels so I might do a different colour next time and will do the whole wheel lol the seats I actually got 2nd hand but where brand new and you can get them off the corbeau web sight they come with runners and side mounts for 170 I think then harnesses again eBay I was after some for a while and they came up so snatched them
Nimbus Grey 197
i suppose until show season starts there isn't much that goes on with the clio bar cleaning and more cleaning however today i did clean it and also cleaned up 2 of my other wheels ready for tires some time next week however i did seize the moment today and got some nice shots of the car outside wootton hall.
Nimbus Grey 197
Right well then this has suddenly got exciting i am about to book my first trackday of the year Donington on the 18th of April so ive got 6 weeks and a list of things to do changing my tyres being one of them
Nimbus Grey 197
After cutting myself I finally have my tyres on so these will be going on over the next few weeks when I get the car ready for mot and the trsckday in April

That looks bloody brilliant. Cage is what I want for mine next!
Nimbus Grey 197
so looking into Donington Park on the 18th of April I thought my exhaust might become a bit of an issue so I set about to looking for a suitable DB killer just in case I needed one scourd the internet and only found one which was 00.04mm to big for the hole however Jetex is close and they have this contraption..
This fits perfectly in the whole I have not modified it at all all I am looking to get a nut welded on one of the wholes the drill a whole in my exhaust which will then bolt it in place and the difference from just being on idle and keeping it in place is quite large

Well it's proper fooked now can't even get the box repaired got a couple of pics my circlip is in there somewhere and where it's being flung around it's just broken everything the amount of times its been rebuilt I just don't think I can do it again so decision time ...
Nimbus Grey 197
so have been a bit busy trying to get different things done and i have. first off i managed to find a replacement gearbox which was painted and looks nice.
Nimbus Grey 197
at this point my car had been like this for a while now
so i decided to put a new clutch in and glad i did
here is a pic of the old one and you can see how oily the pressure plate is
whilst this was being fitted I got the Mrs busy and started doing something I wanted to do last year.
just need one more cote and my lovely subframe will be painted.. the box is now back in and i am waiting on my shock to return from GAZ which should be soon but for now it looks a bit better without all the jacks all over the place.

got home the other day and got some nice pictures of my track day i had over 40 but here are my faves
Nimbus Grey 197
not that much has happened to the car but slight update i decided to put my old supersprint stealth back on as i knew this would pass noise at FCS and it only just did at 99db i have got some pictures of the show and some other bits however i don't have them to hand but here is the video
of the track time which i loved and the car as normal loved it to i have however just raised up the back slightly and i think now it feels much better..
however after a long drive yesterday i think i am getting old and am thinking about getting the PMS exhaust so i don't have to worry about noise and to make it a better drive
