been a bit useless keeping the project thread up to date, i'll sort that tomorrow


but basically its done, MOT last weekend and Tax kicked in first of May so road testing/shakedown has begun. couple of niggles uncovered, mostly due to the massive amount of castor the 182 wishbones have put on the geo, causing some tyre catching issues to front bumper. but nothing that cant be sorted :)

oh and ended up buying my old superleggera wheels back that I sold to Dave... a while back, painted them..........an interesting shade.lol!

cheers

Ben

didnt think you could ever have too much.....pictures?

Coops

only too much in terms of it means the bumper, despite being chopped a bit, catches on the tyres. but for handling, give me moooooore!!!!

i'll fire some more pics up tonight of it on the green wheels and with interior fully finished (quick shift in and spare wheel/passenger seat etc)

Right

finished the bulk of the work I wanted to get done this weekend, so I'm going to stick my neck out and say its done (no project ever is and even typing now there is 'tinkering' I have planned)

however, its ready for track is the point! and in full marmite spec

and castor pic included for northy :)

So list of jobs done:

- fitted Quickshift (with green knob :) )
- fitted passenger seat and harness
- fitted spare wheel and strap
- converted to phase 2 172 dogbone (polybushed)
- painted callipers all round (red)
- fitted DS2500 pads up front
- fitted marmite wheels with RSR's
- removed wiring for second lambda from loom
- reset faults to get the miles remaining on the trip computer to work as well
- wired up the horn (beep beep)

and as said I have thought of more tinker time, but none essential:

- paint and fit pinned fibreglass bonnet (with shiny new phase 1 badge)
- paint up few other bits and bats due to me being picky even though its sposed to be a track car
- ring Adi and get some info on whiteline RARB fitment as needs more custom bits to work and he's probably made loads knowing him!

pics, enjoy or hate, I care not ;)

Love the headlight protectors on a a trackcar - all that effort removing excess weight and u leave them lead weights stuck on the front end :winkey:

Dibs hotlaps then coops.

Coops
07-05-2014, 09:27
Northrop, don't worry they'll be coming off for the track ;) although talking of useless weight in the car I've decided no hot lap for you :P

Gaz I'm taking a selection of tyres, RSR's, Pilot Sport Cups and my Dunlop slicks (turbo was caged too mate remember so ran slicks on that, I was on them at Cadwell last time you spectated)

Ai, that was Dan, he was turbo then too I think? can't remember as he went F4R around then iirc.

he's at Bedford as well, in fact his car is pretty much identical to JWC, just a J plater and no diff.

Oh yeah forgot about Adi, but his is a bloody vw powered shitheap so doesn't really count :lol: Bass wont take the turbo on track because even he knows that it'll be shit, he'll be in his proper track car, the 1 without a shitty turbo :winkey:

there's at least a couple more F4R powered mk1's from round my way who aren't on the forums, Wobba is there in the ITB'd and grippered Williams, adi as mentioned in the boost bus with rear turret conversion, bass is standard F7R for track, no boost.

then paddy lah if he makes it on the itb'd beastie in time, Ryan with another standardish Williams powered job.

matt and duane/steph in cup cars

allan and summeh in another Williams (Rax's old one)

dave in his willy 3 (fairly standard I think)

so a good turn out imo :)
