How long did it take to get the tank out rob?

Ive gotta do this on mine soon and not looking forward to it!

 

Quick Question.

Anyone out at Harewood on the 30th March?

 

last day on this one monday wooho been a hard *** month

 

Looking great Rob.
Best bring some 20Kg weights to hold it down over night at Loton!

Madgord: we will all be at Loton Park (I hope), testing those demon tweeks.

 

I might have one off the RA Im breaking. Let me check tomoz!

 

Looking good Rob, I hope to see it in action.

Pete, good luck with the admin!!

 

A mate of mine took it out for me and said it was "a ******* of a job" so take from that what you will.

 

I wanted to but having never driven my car with the new spec and never having driven Harewood I didn't think it was an ideal combination, the distance didn't help either. I will be at sunny Curborough that day, just up the road and know it like the back of my hand, only £55 in as well.

If you do have a bumper let me know I have cash waiting.

Rob.

 

I know Im not looking forward to it myself. By the looks of it the diff and front rear diff subframe has to come out!

 

That is true.
Several pipes on the top also.

Curb in March....what a nice thought!
When is that Rob, might pop over in my C2 car.

 

Shenstone test day on the 30th, not relishing it but its cheap time in the seat and will be a good opportunity to re-test with feedback from loton the week previous.

at least 4 racing drivers in the pro class

 

Is that more or less than last year Paul?
Crunch might come if 'pro drivers' turn up in the next class 'down'

That list is larger than the total entry list for a national hillclimb at some venues.
Getting popular. Steeeeep learning curve Pete.
Hillclimbs will feel like a treasure hunt in comparison!

 

More, a lot more!

 

Great vid Rob, but a bit on the slow side

Try this : -

Dash is back in and everything reconnected which can be without the engine in. All the redundant wiring will be gone but my auto electrician mate doesn't want to start tearing the loom apart until the car is running and has power.

This is all the interior i intend to put back in, I originaly intended to have the entire centre console and dash but my obsession with weight saving has reduced it to this allowing me to do away with a lot of brackets etc. and as a result another decent weight save.




I also fitted this, omp adjustable boss extenstion to bring the steering wheel closer to me as I felt I was at a stretch and as a result had less control in some of the really tight corners.


Whilst there is plenty to do from an asthetic point of view it's pretty much ready to go to Zen now for the new engine etc.

 

Good progress!
Was told today Roy has had the EVO ''re-built'' and will be out in 2008.

 

hes out at some B meet's, said hes not doing a's, our dad called round to his place about 2 weeks ago his car was there with no big changes just having new diff's

 

Rob, how easy/hard was it to fit the boss and steering wheel and what make and size is the wheel?

Car is looking good, can't wait to see it finished

 

That's a shame Pete, was looking foreward to his 'return' to the weekends.
You should be ok for Loton incidentally.

 

Very easy, it's an omp 330mm wheel from demon tweeks.

 

aaa

 

That's looking cool Pete - how's the bank balance?!

Cheers

Martin

 

Pete! FFS get a move on!
Loton is only 4 weeks away!

Looks 'cool' as the Young Ones say.

 

Pete's experiencing the joys of sponsorship Wadsy, you just have to nearly kill yourself every run to get the times to get the recognition to get the trophies to get the sponsorship, simple!

 

Paddy from Home - Emerald Detailing has been busy restoring the paint on my car tonight the transformation is amazing, seems a shame as the zen lot will be getting their oily fingers on it tomorrow then I will be driving it into cones, armcos and grass banks after that.

 

Took the car up to Zen yesterday to get the new engine and other mods, the race to get to the races has started and only 3 weeks until I'm first out at Loton park on the 22nd of March, I hope to get up there as often as possible to do some further weight saving myself in a proper workshop enviroment and help in anyway I can even if it's just making the cups of tea.

I'll post pics of the progress soon.

I can't wait to get behind the wheel again!

 

Know how you feel!

Have the fresh soft Kumhos on the 911, the fresh soft pads too and the Impreza race seat down tight.

Fresh tax disc and so onto the open road this morning in the sun and dry roads, what a treat.

Rather slower than the Impreza.....but just great to drive.

Now, can I get into the 62's this year! Enthusiasm returning at last.

Good luck with it Rob!

Put the stock drivers seat into the Impreza, and sure feels wierd sitting so high in the car with zero lateral support after 5 years in a real seat.

 

Hi all , looking forward to 22nd at loton park to, seems along time since September, bit new to all this my typing is as quick as a duck in hand cuffs!!!!!! good job my woodwork is better.Gareth.
