Re: My New RS1800 track/road car, rear brakes sorted.
hb69 :what quickshift is it you are fitting, ive got a burton one on mine, its pretty good.
got much else to do before castle combe?
b&m quickshift fella
Can't get the brakes bled until Saturday morning now so still cant use it
A few things to do before Combe, want to get the small battery fitted behind the passenger seat, got a cheap cone filter coming and a new MAF sensor needs to be fitted as well as my new radiator.
Once that is all done I might polycarb the rear and rear side windows, if I have time.
Cheers

Re: My New RS1800 track/road car, B&M fitted
Finally managed to get my brakes bled this morning,
the're all working well with fresh 5.1 fluid
Also fitted my B&M quickshift, all I can say is wow
If you use your car on the track then it is an excellant upgrade
Picked up my Avon tyres last night as well
My cone filter has turned up so might put that on this afternoon.
That is all for now
Cheers

Re: My New RS1800 track/road car, B&M fitted
More progress today
Fitted my new radiator and cone filter,
was nice to remove the old filter and all the bits that hold it in,
makes the engine bay less crampet. be even better when the battery gets moved within the next few weeks
Also removed both the front Recaros and put my drivers bucket seat in

Passenger seat will eventually find its way in there
I got no friends so don't need one in atm
Anybody who wants a passenger ride is welcome
Air filter was £15 delivered off e-bay, brand new
will do me until I can find a cheap K&N one.

Not a problem mate.... just got to finish it now, lol...
im spending every minute on it now, today fitted all the gear selector unit and routed the gear cables under the car and neatly clipped up the back of the bulkhead to keep well away from the 3" EXHAUST system. All the engine bay is stripped ready to fabricate the mounting of the bias pedal box next weekend+ collect the new built engine from ian howell
Shaun, trade you a go in yours and vice versa, combe is my favourite track of all.

Form an orderly queue now please
Filter was for JNE fella
I was going to fit the harnesses in today but got so wasted last night
I've been useless all day, only started feeling better about 5pm.
It normally takes 10 minutes to walk back from the pub,
it took me over an hour last night

In all honesty, I havn't a clue , but the evening started with a bottle of red wine, half a bottle of rum and half a bottle of brandy , no wonder I didn't feel to good
Anyway went into my local friendly Ford bodyshop today and enquired about having the sun-roof welded up, basically the best way is to purchase a new roof skin without the sunroof hole,
but was soon put off when the panel was £250 , I will try Ford Parts UK for a price, but I think that will be something for the future
I won an auction for some small mirrors last night so they should be with me later this week

I meant the whole roof skin replaced mate, they said it would warp if they just filled the hole in, or a carbon fibre one perhaps
