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

Hey hey your builidng a proper track car now

[Turboboy67]

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

Great stuff mate, i bet your itching to get the season started

[Turboboy67]

Great stuff mate, i bet your itching to get the season started

I'm chomping at the bit mate

[Turboboy67]

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

[luca]

Looking swee that mate


must ask though will you be running a passenger seat....??????

SHOTGUN!!!!!!

[Brammer]

Of cause he's fitting a passenger seat i'm sure he said to me he was taking me for a lap of a track in 2008

[JamieFRST]

Quality looking filter you got there! as you are doing serveral sessions at Castle Coombe it would be rude not come for a lap

I spy a passenger seat in m4dyeti as well

[Turboboy67]

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

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

[jayrs]

pi$$ head, but it proves you had a good night out

[TIL13R]

How much did you drink...................

Thought u drank alot at Alton

Tiller

ps car is coming along really well too

Tiller

[Turboboy67]

How much did you drink...................

Tiller

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

[jayrs]

if you weld thaat up it will warp the roof mate.
why not get a fiber glass sun roof made up and fit that?

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

[hb69]

for rallying etc people usually just make up some sheet metal and rivet it over the hole in the roof, no idea how they seal it etc though

Yeah but that looks gash

If I do it, it will be a new roof skin

You must know what I'm like by now

[jayrs]

why not get a roof skin from scrappy? cut through the pillers then drill the spot welds at home? then get it put on
