Shame about the disc explosion! Awesome project though.

[mini_mad69]

Yeah, all fixed now. Well I say all fixed, something underneath is bent and it doesn't drive true anymore. Also it seems too have developed an oil leak since aswell. So I think I'll get it up on ramps and have another check underneath.

Well it seems that trying too hold the car inline when the disc went has damaged the steering. There was a teeny bit of play in the steering before but today it just completly let go. So the car is off the road again!!


I will sort out a new one for it. On the plus side, the drivers recaro is fitted and i've mounted it just right for me, although it's fixed with no runners. So much more comfortable as i've mounted it low.

Saw this on facebook mate. Sorry to here it. Should be an easy fix though if it's just the column.

[minilover]

Wow truely awsome car son. Steering column, that's a bit of a bugger, how long until your out thrashing chavs again?

What you got planned next?

[mini_mad69]

Riiiiiight, im a little gutted but progress is being made. Arches are currently being sprayed body colour.

I have fitted MK2 rear lights, over-riders.


I've removed my fog light for a cleaner look, but will have too sort something out too make it legal again.

Diagonal removed and 3 point seatbelts fitted in the back. Im now going for a very clean, classic look with it. A bit of a sleeper with the 1380.


Although im at a loss. I want more power, im not happy with the 1380, it get's too 60 in 8.5 seconds but I want under 8 now.

What do I do too it next? On a very tight budget. Phone is being repaired (AGAIN!) so no pictures sorry.

[jaydee]

8 seconds are just a matter of lightening.
Remove all useless stuff, slap some perspex windows in, fit FG bonnet and bootlid and see what u get.

[mini_mad69]

FG bonnet is going too be going on soon too replace the bent one. I'll have a look at some perspex now then.

[danny1]
