major progress fail from my week off, discovered the yellow 182 didn't have Cup chassis so I bought a blue one that does


Got a bit done today.

gearbox all torqued up with no missing fasteners


Started with this...


Paranoid about dropping stuff in or contaminating my heads...yup


20mm spacers; I now have clearance for the AVCS solenoids...thanks Alyn


Ended with this...

I hope you're right, although I'm sure you said something similar last year
Maybe if you stopped fannying around with those renaults it'd be done by now

I reckon the only person that can challenge me is Tim (Slooby), not sure why I feel the need to boast about that
...my only excuse is that although I like cars fun is the driving force in my life and this ain't always fun
