I sympathise with you haha, the job is hell. It took me litres of thinners and all other sorts of fluids, a wire brush, a wire wheel in a drill, a scraper, a heatgun.....really not fun.

Taken last week at the ring. Had a great time and car was spot on!

Im off over in the morning with Destination Nurburgring, will post some pics on my return all being well! :salute:

Started the timing chain job......Its a big ass job isnt it! and were at the Ring in two weeks! Got rear discs/pads and bearings to do too, all good fun!

Cheers! Day was great, weather stayed good all day bar a couple of quick showers. Lots of great cars to look at and chase around too. Definitely faster as the day went on and confidence was growing, didnt want it to end really :nuts: Apart from a little misfire when we first arrived which was sorted by checking all the plugs the car was absolutely faultless, the handling and stopping exceeded my expectations to be honest. It could do wit the front a little higher to stop the rubbing and the back perhaps a little harder, maybe next time ill tweak the tyre pressures too. Ive really got the bug now and am looking forward to our Ring trackday in august, probably going to book up for Oulton Park in september too! I bought the cd of the photos they took as it was our first one :lol: The South circuit is quick, very quick the more confident you get but there are two very sharp bends which are hard to get used to! The brakes i have on are the 288' with Yellowstuff R pads, they didnt miss a beat all day and we drove pretty hard and often, the car is very light now and the engines standard so theyre more than up to it. What the hell have you got in making that power??

:grin: No probs :grin:

Almost definitely what he said ^^ I found out myself they can be a bas***d to bleed up.

1x lambda sensor, 1x rewired fog light ( i might have over stripped the electrical system :nuts: ) and some new poly axle bushes and were good to go, all motd up!

Its the performance trrim fibreglass panel, just a thin sheet thats slightly oversized for the hole, riveted and bonded in place. Easy :grin: I got the cage as a kit from Custom cages, CL4 kit i think it was, then just added a harness bar to it. What do the protectors look like? got a pic??

Well thats about it then! Next shots i put up will hopefully be action ones from Silverstone later this month 8) http://|http://thumbsnap.com/4wRNXTkZ http://|http://thumbsnap.com/yVvFzMq3 http://|http://thumbsnap.com/B1ZjtLzl http://|http://thumbsnap.com/d6FZG3us http://|http://thumbsnap.com/Iq0ywLFM http://|http://thumbsnap.com/6iBBdoW9 http://|http://thumbsnap.com/kOYylEl0 Thanks for reading :wave:

Yeh i might drop into the local EMR, theyve got a weigh bridge at the door. Was just wondering today what it weighs as its been on a serious diet!

Doorcards all done, still waiting for the adhesive number plate....Quite happy with them, not too difficult to do just time consuming. I've still got plenty of alloy sheet left if anybody wants a go :wobble: http://|http://thumbsnap.com/kVIRzEbv Oops, looks like they need a clean too! Not sure what to do about door pulls, i might just leave it as is. The red cord you can see is what you pull to open the door from the inside 8)

Just the doorcards to finish now tomorrow, bought a great big piece of alloy sheet to do them. Fitted the aerocatches today and the sunroof panel fiiiiiiinally arrived so got that straight on. Going for mot this week coming and booked in at Silverstone on 16th July! The sunroof took so long that i decided to stick with my original bonnet for now, ive cut a few vents in and completely stripped the underneath of it, has made it a lot lighter so im relatively happy. Filled up with Mobil motorsport 15W50, water wetter and fuel treatment. Plastic windows finished and fitted my aircon Got some Yellowstuff R pads, 4motion fitment. aaannnnd a Sparco helmet on the way These quick easy projects eh?!

Carried on today, nearing completion...... Finished putting the windows in with the vents/intake. Fitted the baffled sump, changed the fuel/oil filter. Going to order some decent Millers oil now and fill it up with some good stuff! Still the sunroof hasnt arrived and ive got to order the bonnet off them yet....
