Booked a few days off this week to try and get some decent progress made before FCS!
Few weeks ago I had the mot to sort out, needed a few bits so got them fitted. Cheers to Fred for sorting me out with the discs!
Also planned on taking the headlining out which unfortunately meant I needed a t**t strip!
Doesn't look
too bad to be fair..
Next up was PPC at Mallory. I had a few sessions booked which went ok, track ettiquette was awful but the car felt pretty good apart from the brakes (I'd forgot to bleed them beforehand so they were dead within 2 laps lol). Few pics I found:
I also had an idea for the exhaust. A sleeve joint is used from the backbox to the mid section so I got a local exhaust place to chop a bit off the centre section. This means the exhaust sits in the mounts much better and also doesn't stick out as far!
Also began to start taking all the bits of plastic for the wiring and some of the sound deadening:
How the rear is currently looking:
And a few pics of the brake ducts and t**t strip now it's back on the turinis:
I'd ordered some cup racer door handle spacers from R-sport, however not only are they pricey (55 quid del for the pair!) and have a s**t finish, they also don't fit!
So I took the dremel to them and sorted that (excuse the blood blister lol):
Next I whipped the dash out and dropped it off to Banbury (formally central blast) for flocking:
Last of the tar gone:
Started sorting out what I could ditch from the loom:
Some new goodies arrived!
Took em down to a mate's dealership to be fitted:
Also started getting rid of unwanted brackets etc:
Got a bit bored so will tidy them up some other time lol.
Just some of the bits I've ditched so far!
I modded the steering column supports so it'll sit about an inch lower than it did before. Burp's idea, although in my defence it wasn't until I realised I could lower it that he'd done it on his first ph1 lol.
Seems pretty stable and sits much lower now, happy days!
Unfortunately all the interesting photos I have are on my iPhone which is playing up, so I'll get some with the camera tomorrow
