Weekend car - Accidental....

[Waitey]

Good work, im at Blyton on Sunday with a few mates, say hi!

What will you be in?

I've never done Blyton and I don't trust the car yet, so I'll be very slow!

Got the camera rigged up though! Dab of oppo.

Black 172, red westfield and a yellow 106

Whiney straight cut gearbox and rattly cage! The exhaust is only louder than the box at 5k RPM.

You enjoying it Stephen?

I've enjoyed tarting it up. When it was semi finished I was a bit sad, as I was nearly out of stuff to do. I'm hoping some track days will make me bond with it more.

It's started leaking gearbox oil out of the speedo sender now, there's always something to do on these!

One the carbon bits are here it'll look good.

Highlight from Blyton today was my save while under instruction. Even got some applause from the instructor! Got some good angles going!

Haha, I bet you nearly sh*t your pants doing that. Great stuff!

 

[Cookie]

Awesome save. Helped by hitting that kerb?

It was dropping off it that started the bloody thing.

Lesson learned was, if your line is wrong, don't commit!

 

[Waitey]

Might need some ARB's to stop the roll. Fully committed though.

 

[fez]

thats brilliant

 

[Waitey]

This was during my moment.... Check that compression!

 

[Waitey]

Some clio action too with my mate and @Addz in the back ground?

Ah yeah, saw you lot. I wasnt on form at all, couldnt get into it! Car was fine but had a nightmare week before so had no confidence in the car!

 

[Christopher]

F*ck me that's got some yaw! Uprated ARBs like you said!

 

[Philip.]

LOL awesome save

 

[Waitey]

Final session at Blyton with dead brakes.



New callipers and pads now needed.

Callipers were 40 (yes 40) years old and the pads were from 1998!

 

[McGherkin]

Weird. I watched that save video 30 minutes ago and didn't even twig it was you.

40 year old calipers, LOL.

 

[Clio_fool]

40 years old, what were they off originally?

 

[Waitey]

40 years old, what were they off originally?

Ordered some brand new replacement ones.

Small update.

Brand new twin pot 54mm callipers with DS2500 pads

A new throttle body (52mm) and elbow and air filter to replace the knackered one.

My old throttle body was a 48mm one with a "wedge" in it to limit flow. The VVC shouldn't have a wedged throttle body, so that's a bit weird. Will be good to see if I gain some top end by having the new throttle body.

 

[Waitey]

My carbon half doors and front wings are here! Full carbon is sexy.

 

[cat171]

Awesome!!

 

[Daz...]

This is getting better all the time, great stuff.

 

[Christopher]

Ooooft. p**n.

 

[Waitey]

Now we are talking....

 

[Rob]

Good work Stephen. I'm enjoying this thread

 

[Waitey]

Side door mock up

 

[Waitey]

[Matthew]

That looks mint.
