[Ol’ Tarby]

Mechanical as f**k!

 

[Stefan.]

Like a rifle!

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

Makes an EP3 gearbox look like a sloppy piece of s**t!

Like a rifle!

 

[Mr R.]

That's cool mate, was you sitting there making broom broom noises?

 

[Scrooge]

That gear change

Came home from the pub drunk and went into the garage to sit in it. So sad 😂

I'd do the same mate, it's not sad just a little odd.

Would love to have a close-up look at one of these. Always fancied a kit car at some point and these seem such good value.

If you're ever up north you're welcome call in for a nosey mate

That gear shift is incredibly satisfying to watch

Haha it's incredibly satisfying to feel. Got a right nice clunk to it

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

Just insured it. Bit more than I was hoping but all quotes were around the same. 1500 miles a year, 270 quid

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

Driven it for the first time today. Was soaking wet but couldn't resist! It's now covered in s**t and I got soaked hitting a big puddle. Straight to the face

Quick exhaust video. Don't think I'll get on track with it how it is so may have to look into making it a touch quieter

 

[McGherkin]

That note is lovely.

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

Yeah it's raspy as f**k. Shame ya can't hear the throttle bodies over it though

Nice hat!

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

Nice hat!

My mate loves a beanie. Homo

 

[Danith]

God damn! YES!!!!! So cool. I will get one one day, when I get a garage

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

Do it!

 

[imprezaworks]

That sounds ace.

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

Ordered some smaller indicators for it

Took a caliper off and the pads out to see which were fitted so that I can get something more track orientated ordered off George.

I also sorted the fuel gauge sender out the other day. Dodgy connection, so recrimped and heat shrunk it all and now it's working fine.


Few jobs to sort out over winter include;
removing the windscreen frame and getting it painted/powder coated black along with the brackets.

Decent discs/pads.

Get rid of all the red in the interior, and retrim the tunnel with alacantara style s**t.

Seat change.

Get rid of the ignition barrel and fit an ignition switch and push button start.

3way switch for the map switching, ready to get it mapped up properly next year

Yeah I've decided to keep the normal screen mate. I don't fancy having to wear a helmet everytime I drive it, which I'd have to do with the aeroscreen

 

[Ian_182]

Very committed vehicles and fair play for taking the plunge.
Im far too old and gay to own one.
I hope you enjoy it.

You can never be too old, only too gay!

 

[Poopensharten]

Fvcking awesome.

I’d love one thats as quick as a bike to smoke these utter arse pirates in the highlands during the summer. Lottery win i’ll 100% buy that Ariel Atom V8 they’re selling for 225k first lol.

I was going to say you can be too old but never too gay.

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

I was going to say you can be too old but never too gay.

Guy I bought it from was 71, so defo never too old

 

[Clio_fool]

You can't be too old but you can be too fat! My that my dad who's 72 had to sell his fiat barchetta because he couldn't climb out of it anymore [emoji23]

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

You can't be too old but you can be too fat

That's my current issue....lol

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

Just been to collect some new seats. Bit of a bargain. 2nd hand but 5 weeks old and never fitted.
Best bit....I fit in them! Boom!

Don't be daft, it's Christmas

 

[Mr Plums]

Don't be daft, it's Christmas :smile:

My son would struggle to fit his tushy in those seats 😂

Merry xmas mate :hearteyes:

Nice looking car

@Waitey the mt75 box isnt quite as rifley like as a type 9

As for tuning potential James there is 250bhp in a zetec on bodies .

What ecu is it running and what chokes in the bodies , find that out first.

I suspect you wont gain much on mapping as it will have been done for the IVA .

Exhaust is also where power is held on the zetec especially in kits , trick manifolds are where its at and decent flowing silencers.

Bigger brakes ... forget that as the MI6 single pot calipers are mega with the right pads , you will spend ££££££ on something else to be better

Spend that money on 13" rims and loose unsprung weight
