BUFTY

Not just my thoughts then

[Brammer]

Massive improvement on the inside mate

I don't think i've ever know a project go to plan with the speed you are working. Did you have this set out on a project management plan first

Great update

[heeman10]

Speak to you in the week then Shaun What brakes do you have on there, if 13s are going on? I found my XR2i brakes with grooved discs worked very well, but on track would probably prefer the power afforded by a Cosworth set-up. What say you?

[Sphinx]

Inside looks luuurvly I like it!

[~S1~]

Probly has something to do with Shaun being an O.A.P, he has a lot of free time these days

[luca]

Good work mate, looks stunning inside now with a fresh coat of paint.

You have been busy the past week its gone from your average rs1800 into a cult phenomenon.

2weekends then mate and come down and we can sort these plastic roofs

[hb69]

looks good Shaun

[Ollybee]

Want to paint mine?

[Turboboy67]

Thanks for all your comments guys

James, I've fitted standard Red Dot discs and mintex extreme pads,
I have a had similar sets ups in the past with excellant results and no fade.
When the power goes up I will probably have to upgrade

as for a plan of action, this is the 3rd track car I have now done, so its kinda getting easier

This one is deffo for keeps.

After the roof has been fitted the exterior paintwork will be given some attention,
Its not to bad but both rear panels could do with a respray and there is a scratch on the n/s wing.

[Turboboy67]

Ok, so today I have finished bolting the cage in





What a pig of a job again !!!

Anyway its done now and never coming out again

Also took the rear spoiler off, I have replaced it now but it will be removed on track days



Also took the armrests, door pockets, speakers, central locking off the doors.
Didn't have time to do the polycarb but it will be done later in the week, I'm going to dump the electric front windows and put sliders in, got to order them up later in the week.

I have a private plate on its way, all will be revealed soon

Wheels have been swapped back, taking the Super T's to be powder coated tomorrow.

So thats it for a few days, hopefully I will have my GAZ coilovers for the weekend and they will be put on.

That is all for now

[luca]

Mate that looks spot on and the number plate is

LOL at the spoiler you need that for downforce though

[Brammer]

Looks well bufty inside

Are you going to use sticker numberplates to save a Lbs in weight

[bakewell001]

That looks really smart!

Bet it was a tricky decision whether or not to put the floor mats in. Compromise between it being light or staying clean!

The only thing i dont like is that the red harness looks a little out of place. Black/dark grey would look spot on

[luca]

I really want to loose my harnesses and get silver ones but cant justify the Monstruous price tag

Shaun you call that a lightweight dash - im shocked

[PMK3]

speedy progress mate,wish i had the time to crack on with my fiesta so rapidly.love the colour and contrast of the cage should look awesome on the gret super T's as well

Shaun you call that a lightweight dash - im shocked

this is a light weight dash

[jayrs]

looking good fella, but would cheap petrol station floor mates be lighter than them rubber ones

[rsonblackwheels]

looks awsome, inside looks very tidy

can't wait to see it

[m3matt]

looking good fella, but would cheap petrol station floor mates be lighter than them rubber ones

how about the paper ones you get in car show rooms?! lol

car looks ace, just read through some of the thread, speedy or what!

[jayrs]

was gunna say that but there rip

[Turboboy67]

Thanks guys

I havn't started to lighten the dash yet people

Chris, stick on plates are a very good idea and one which I will be using

Bakewell, yeah harnesses are a bit out of place but they were in the deal with the seats,

Henry has the exact same ones in blue, I'm going to ask him nicely if he fancies a swap

Mats will again be out on track days

[muz]

hopefully I will have my GAZ coilovers for the weekend and they will be put on.

You baxtered! My heart skipped when I saw that for sale post!

Sorry fella , you got to be quick around here

I just had to have them, when the 13" track wheels are on this is going to be one low RS

Just waiting to see if my mate is going to Corby this week, won't find out until Wednesday evening, if not he will collect them next week for me

[Ollybee]

[jayrs]

whens he next coming to IOW still waiting for that battery

[muz]

I'll give you £200 for them tonight

[luca]

£210 - i dont need them.... but would make good coffee table legs

[Turboboy67]

whens he next coming to IOW still waiting for that battery

Not sure I will ask

I forgot to say earlier I put the door bars in to see if I could actually fit in

Good news is I can I'm going to put some lagging around the roll bars as I can see me smacking my head on it a few times

I just wish I had a week off now, I just want to see it ready for Combe

Oooooh its like e-bay in here

Sorry I'm not selling them, I've promised them to the track car

[jayrs]

nice one mate

[FRSJON]

it wont be long mate till the rs 1800 over takes JNE in the wow factor... ..coilovers,private plate and spare time to fit it all....lucky baxstard....

[luca]

Im sure he is retired Jon, these oldies get all the perks - but since when did paypal accept bus tokens

[Turboboy67]

Bus tokens

Will be good to dust JNE off and park her next to this one

I must go and check shes still in the garage, not looked for a couple of months

[Project_XR2i_Trackcar]

I was about to mention about that hoooooge dash you have there. You don't need half of that. Get the Jig-saw out man!

I'm liking the idea of the sticky on number plate. Who does these then, any links to suppliers?

[luca]

Lightweight yet still functional




P.s - Thats not the finsihed article

[bakewell001]

The problem with sticker plates is that they're not reflective (or at least i don't think they are) and so they are no good for on the road, plus on track you dont need plates anyway, so you might as well remove them alltogether for "uber lightweightness"

[luca]

You can get reflective ones
