[chrispy.clio]

I just looked over the thread again. such a great car

What piping did you use to bypass your heater matrix? and where did you get it from?

 

[Nafoff]

Not at all mate. I'm surprised more people haven't started using the mk1 dash in mk2's. If you need any other info either post in here or PM me.
Carl

you may be getting a large influx on pm's soon then, just looking at mark 1 dashes now.....£7...lol

 

[chrispy.clio]

£7!!!! My Mk1 dash cost me £10 and 50p !!!!!!!

I feel ripped off lol

 

[Nafoff]

+ £5.50 postage.... £12.50 total
i am happy with that

 

[twingors]

the mk1 dash looks okay, but i think it only works because you have that cage.
if the front cross member was further forward and thus you could run through the bulkhead to the strut tops, the whole car would be stronger, and imo more aesthetically pleasing.

I tried a Mk1 top in ours, didnt think it fitted that well tbh

 

[Rosco172]

What a lovely car guy.. the effort gone to this car is so extensive its unreal! i love what you have done with it!

 

[LukasH]

Hi, any news?

 

[chrispy.clio]

Which air filter and backing plate are you running on the new engine?

 

[frenchthing]

ahh nice to read the full blog of this.. i saw it down @ TDF a while back and had to admire your work.. a very very well put together and finished car..

 

[Barron]

Hi, any news?

erm haven't touched the car for quite a while and now it is parked up until next summer.

The nice shiny custom alloy radiator which i got made up didn't have enough surface area and i wasn't happy with how hot the car was running so i got a new larger radiator made up so that the car runs a bit cooler.

Thats it for this year.

Booked croft for the 11th June next year.

Jenvey backplate with a Pipercross PX600 C604D filter i believe.

I think they're having engine trouble last time I heard

 

[Meek_racing]

Old skool bump... Has there been much progress with this car or still engine problems?

 

[Nafoff]

unsure on the engine but as far as i knew there was no more progress, it was just being kept off the road

 

[Ali]

Pretty impressive.

 

[Daz_RT_04]

Just read through all this in works time - Fantastic!!
Absolutely brilliant project!

 

[maynard]

This car needs a comeback!

 

[Stu.]

What happened to it? not seen it in a while!

 

[Adamm.]

ph1 and r.b! i need this car in my life.

 

[Fred@BTM]

Its moving to B'ham soon apparently

 

[maynard]

Its moving to B'ham soon apparently

You buying it or something?

 

[Silent_Scone]

IIRC it needs a bit of the Fred touch

 

[theduck]

Let me know when it arrives Fred, I'll be there shortly after for a perv!

 

[Meek_racing]

I'll 2nd that! I bet it sounds a beast :evil:

 

[Fred@BTM]

more oil leaks than deep sea horizon apparently

 

[Meek_racing]

Thats a shame... You seem to be re-building quite a few engines this winter

 

[matty w]

That's a surprise an apd engine that's got an oil leak

 

[Ryanj]

Just read this from start to finish, what a car, hope you get it all sorted soon

 

[Dan519]

That's a surprise an apd engine that's got an oil leak

I've done one completely, and changed cams in another that were both haemoraging oil. one didn't even have any sealer used on the cam brackets (F7R) Both were built with cheapass gaskets and seals that were as much use as cadbury's coffee mug

 

[Greeny.]

LOL

 

[Liquid yellow 182]

Such an epic car, now my wallpaper.

 

[MG cup]

Just read trough the whole thread, top work, credit to you lads.

No more progress or track days??

 

[2Damnsly Andy]

Wow that's three hours covered today. Would be nice to hear how its going fellas was an epic build I hope it hasn't now been forgotten about somewhere.

 

[Fraser.J.]

Can remember reading this when it was kicking about!

What happened to it?!?

 

[Kenny.s]

Likewise, spent a few hours this morning going through this, looks like a cracking build, be nice to hear whats happening with it now.
