I beg to differ, it's as strong as hell, plenty good enough for a tin can car.

His dog Bonzo (or what ever its called) is a legend too lol.


I'll sort out an update now

 

[Russ_16v]

What happened with the break down fella?

 

[chrispy.clio]

I'll just do a few little updates at a time

So going on from my last update i had removed aroud 30kg from the car and then sent it off to the bodyshop to be painted

This is what it looked like when i got it back

Befor

After

Really pleased with the result, its not 100% amazing quality but its just a track car so its good enough

The metal in the steering wheel was going a funny colour so i masked it up

And sprayed it matt black

Then went to the Nurburgring and it was fully amazing even if i did have a little kiss with a concret barrier.

I'll just upload some pics from the trip

 

[Nafoff]

[Craig.H]

cd player mounted to steering column is major win!! love it

your car is spot on mate, well done

 

[Dave.]

The loom is actually on the other side of the car so its not in the cabin. Its just cloth but i'v trimmed it and stuck it on so now it looks a million times better Its on there to stop the glair on the windscreen.

What are the stickers about mate? Are they actually sponsoring you (sorry if i've missed it in the thread)

Its a combination of free stickers i allready had and all the OMP stickers were given to my universitys Formula Student race team. I just put them on for my trip to the ring as a laugh

 

[oliver.james]

Still quite possibly my favorite car on here :approve:

 

[Slammed172]

What was the break down?

 

[smitchell1]

I think those stickers look awsome fella, awsome car and looks so at home on a track!!

 

[Greeny.]

What a shed Love it.

 

[chrispy.clio]

loving the spray job mate, pics look good too

What was the break down?

The Red power cable on the alternator can snapped off so the battery slowly drained and then it cut out. Simple fix in the end

Did you just crimp it again? Mine is looking quite shabby!

 

[chrispy.clio]

Well i broke down 20 miles away from home so my old man came out and towed me home. Then at home i squashed it between two washers and a bolt, so its got a good connection now

 

[Ste666]
