Only got a few odds and sods done this weekend as I had other cars to deal with so no real update.

Damn Disco I bought for towing these cars is giving me all sorts of bother, reckon I am going to get rid and find another tow vehicle. May get a big estate or something, don't know yet.

I did get time to look at my new turbo though on the blue car

 

Show off

 

Says the man with his fancy pants front mount

 

Little more progress, can be slow going at times as I had to do some other work on a pals car today. Needed new wing and brakes on his car.




Paul got the hub off as the bearing is gone. Tried to whip one off the other car I am breaking but the driveshaft would not come out of that so we are going to pop a new bearing in.



Then we got the exhaust on, Paul made a nice little bracket to fix downpipe to the gearbox. Nice APS item with 3.5" bore




And here's a pic of the new addition as my tow car, the Disco I bought was rubbish so sold that and got a turbo car

 

You bought a vlovo, how old are you

 

Admission of middle age. The Labradors, Barbour and green wellies to follow........

 

Still younger than you fella

 

and quicker!! LOL

 

So his missus says

 

The old ones are the best

 

He already has the Babour and green wellies

 

Hoot!

 

Have not got Lab though but do have a similar size hound a Rhodesian Ridgeback

 

Has the little nutter got character? lol

 

Okay little more done at weekend and today -

Bolted the bells to my Discs whilst I got my son to wash the GT4




Filled the minor cracks in the bumper




Painted and fitted the gear stick surround thing



Cheap but light mirrors on




Modified cooler pipework to fit, grinder needed



And then fits



Catch can installed, one of the group buy batch I just sorted. Will be doing another soon if anyone is interested, the quality of the can is spot on and has the 3 inlets required for a scoob

 

Excellent. MH have you hairsprayed up that IC hard pipe/silicone union (indeed all the unions when you get round to it)?!

 

Tried that trick in the past and it hasn't worked, quality clamps and tightening them up very hard works fine.

 

Yep Paul's got plenty of charachter

 

MH, strange! dynamix swears by it and that it works (for him)?

 

lol

The pee-taking banter's in rude health, as always......

 

That's probably because Duncan invests in high quality hair products

 

Well he did say it was Sivikrin (straight up too) .

 

pmsl

 

I reckon you could start a new project on personal grooming chap, can't believe you quote the type of hair spray to use

Must stop laughing my sides are now aching !

 

Got the new hub on with a new bearing -



Started trial fitting brakes to see what shims I will need



Don't ask what he's up to here



Not much else done as we took the blue car to the Pod yesterday to do some testing, needless to say track conditions were awful due to frozen ice on there before they got it dry. Still some good testing done with some very quick terminals (134 & 135) but 11.2 isn't anything to write home about but with full on wheel spin in 1st and not much better in 2nd then it's understandable.

 

Yous are hard core working in the snow

 

Or mad or just stupid

 

Discs are on the wrong side at the moment!

 

Yes mate, just picked one up for test fitting the caliper

 

After changing wheels I found a suspected slack wheel bearing on the blue car, same side as the one we just did on the white one !

Oh well at least this hub came off a damn site easier than on the white car.




I was not expecting the shaft to pop out though when pulling the hub off, I presume it's because the stubs have been changed to fit the 6 speed ?



Then out with the whiteline ball joint as I have ordered another hub already
