Yes am currently having a a front splitter designed... Will inc tunnels and have opted for ply covered in carbon once the design is proven.

I have been looking at this one , but as you say its got be proven , not sure if the link will work , not sure if the splitter will work .

 

I would think for any serious track work it needs to be fairly substantle.

I know mines going to take some abuse and have seen carbon fly off everywhere at the time attack events over the last couple of years.

Thats why im going with a ply one... Will test it and then get one covered in carbon/kevlar etc.

One thing ive learned is not to use marine ply. Birch ply is stronger as its laid one way then 90degress the other within its layers 😉

 

oh ****! My bad mate....BEAUTIFUL ❤️

 

You have the brakes and wheels i want, how much you asking for your other 6 pots? thanks

 

Cheers Johno

 

Hi all, was sick of my headlights letting the car down , i did de tango them in the summer and black the inside frame but the outside lenses have just got worse , so today i set about putting that right, i got a headlight restoration kit to do the job,

before,

first stage,



should have covered the car first,

and all done ,

car washed too, look a lot better in my opinion , took about 3 hours in all and an aching back too,

 

Didn't like how my rear camera was close to the letters and didn't want it failing an mot or upsetting the local plod.

Lowered the plate.

 

Finally fitted the tigewa brake stopper.

I like it but remove the airbox first!

Spent an hour and half fiddling around and after removing the air box it took minutes.

Routed the solinoid pipes through it rather than below it for neatness.

 

looking good Robsy, do they make much difference on day to day driving or is it just a track mod?

 

I literally drove half a mile to get petrol and it feels nice.
can't wait to change the brakes & fluid.

 

Aluminium weather strips replaced, rubber strips and side covers all replaced.

The weather strips had damage from removing the wind deflectors and got the rubber sections cheap enough.

Breaking one of the plastic side trims forced me to buy replacements which was a plus as mine had water marks I couldn't remove.

Tempted to do the black trims along the doors as they have water marks too.

 

Billetworkz Reverse lock out installed.

So much better than the rattly OEM. I feel like my gears have improved? Sounds bizarre but heard something about a rattling oem one keeps reverse lifted a little causing it to catch. Only thing now is to get a new gear gator as mines too loose. Get yours here:

With customs Black Friday and the good exchange rate it was £90 delivered.

Only thing now is to change the gear gator to be tight around the bottom.

Any recommendations.

 

Hiya Robsy , i might be being a bit thick here but what does this do?

 

My OEM one was rattling. Tried the black tape trick and it didn't work.

 

Reverse gear lock on a 6MT box - lift it so you can shift into reverse (attached to a cable)

 

After doing the lockout I hated the way the gator was baggy around the stick.

Replaced with more an OEM look. Just need to do the handbrake now. Is it a pig?

Can i ask what did they cost as my wind deflectors are peeling away

 

I got the weather strips for a steal off a breaker
£20 collected and they looked brand new.
worth the 80miles tbh.

I won't get wind deflectors again. I still have my old strips that may turn good after sanding the tape off.

The rubber door trims were from America and the black strips on the sides were from Japan.

Fitted a Kazz 1.5 way LSD



Thanks to David Coe for his work on the diff

You can’t see it but it is in there :-)

 

Replaced radiator top and bottom hoses, a new header tank as the old 1 started cracking around the pipes and a new alt belt

 

Ive been thinking about doing mine.

Is there a reason why you guys use the kazz over say a quaife lsd diff. I think one is a clutch type and the other is geared.

 

I have to admit I am not the most qualified person when it comes to diffs. I was recommended a kazz diff from a number of sources hence my decision to run with it.

The kazz diff is a plated diff and so will keep the torque applied to both wheels regardless of traction. The quaife is a geared diff which will send the torque to the wheel with least resistance, so say if you have one wheel on ice and the other on tarmac, the wheel on ice will get more torque sent to it. Hence the plated lsd being more suited to track use and the geared diff more suited to road use. At least this is my basic understanding and I’m sure that some Googling will come up with more informative answers, but I can’t wait to try it out

 

And i cant wait for some feedback👍

 

only just saw this mate, look a million times better 👍👍

 

looks fantastic under there, my next “major spend” will be to get the underside refreshed and preserved as it’s a major issue with our cars now

 

Thanks, they are all getting on a bit now and the undercarriage’s do suffer. Prepare for some stubborn bolts!! But is such a worthwhile job once done and new bolts makes it easy to work on the rear when you need to get it apart

 

Just your advice please Ian,
ive got the “old” underseal from new in certain places like the rear sturrets etc and on the underside of the car so I know it’s ok but how easy is it to remove? I’d like it resealed again but the factory underseal looks stubborn to remove? when I spray the black dinotrol it’s nowhere near as thick?

 

I’m lucky that my car is garaged so it’s not something I have ever done, although I did look into it a while back. From what I saw (you tube videos and the like) to do it properly is not a particularly easy job. You will need to grind it off using a drill attachment or similar. A lot of hours spent lying on your back involved in removing it !

 

Thanks Ian, I certainly won’t be doing that so I may just refresh the areas where it has came off. Also replace some rusty bits then sand down, protect and respray other bits so it all looks fresh 👍
