That looks wicked, I like the wheels I had my coilovers on hard setting and it was unbearable to use every day

Re: My RS1800, Gaz coilovers fitted.
Cheers guys,
Tom, yeah my adjusters are the same as yours
Couldn't drive this every day on the hard setting
I was just seeing what it was like ready for the track
Well today I took it a bit easier, just a 4 hour bufty session
Didn't mop the car, it doesn't need it tbh,
Coilovers have settled down and after driving the car for a mile the fronts didn't need to be adjusted further they had settled down to 525mm from ground matching the rear.
Just a cut and polish, & rainex on windows.
Few piccies
Actually looks half decent now
Oh and one last piccie, when Bufty met tracky
That was before I cleaned the RS1800 btw

Re: My RS1800 Track car, 4hr Bufty session !!!
One of the van alloys is cracked Max,
so its back to the normal wheels until I find some replacements,
plate was on my Sapphire Cosworth which was a G plate, it reads G2.0 RS
Bonnet just needs the support blocks underneath it,
Its not to bad for £45 for a Carbon bonnet though
Ordered lower arms today for it as there was some play in them when I did the suspension yesterday, I want to order up the bits to move the battery this week.
Car looks so much better now its had a decent clean

Lower arms are off e-bay, not sure on the make, they might last 6 months
Tried selling the plate, then had it on retention for a year so thought sod it I might as well bung it on the van
Got a good one coming for the track car though, but I can't say what it is yet

Probably does it lives outside and my car cover blew straight off Monday night
Doesn't seem alot of point until I get her tucked inside my garage in a month or so
xrsi, no your barking up the wrong tree there fella
I did look for a "carbon" type plate but none were available
Chris, JNE did rub her headlights when I pulled her cover back
Very minor update, I've ordered all the bits I need up to relocate battery, should be with me by the weekend, alloy battery bracket is also under construction
Also my wheels might be ready for tomorrow
pictures as soon as I have them home
Also swapping my Red Harnesses for some Blue ones, thanks Henry
Cheers for all the other comments as well guys.

£45 for the bonnet I assume your saying ,
I am the For Sale forum troll, check it day and night every 5 minutes
Wheels do look good think the will get some steel nuts though, the chrome ones look out of place really. Will have to weight them though
Roof will be ready at the weekend I think,
so should be collecting it off of Luke early next week.

Cheers fella,
Small update, Super Ts are back from the powder-coaters
They look awesome, no pictures because they are having their boots put back on
pictures tomorrow though
Can't wait to fit them on now, will probably need to nibble the rear arches out a bit as I don't want them to rub at all.
Lots of bits are due in the post so just a question of waiting for them now
I won an auction for a set of Morettes last week on e-bay,
but after umpteen e-mails I still have not made contact with
the seller ggggggrrrrrrrrrr
so I might have to look elsewhere for a set
