Now do the most important thing you can do to a n/a And Supercharge it ;-)

I wasn't going to at first but I think I may start collecting parts when they come up cheap. Furnishing my house is getting knocked further and further down the to-do list haha. Need to do some work on vehicles to earn some extra money!

[KurtVerbose]

Wheels are much more important than a kitchen or bathroom!

 

(Yes, I live alone).

[hughcam]

I miss it sooo much already lol! Enjoy it pal!

[turbobob]

Still with the wheels. What's wring with them?

[Zoobeef]

Nothing, and I prefer that design. Just want lighter wheels for track and maybe sell those for a decent amount.

Think you should bring it to the national? Saves u sorting a trailer & less Likely to brake down....

[turbobob]

How heavy are speedlines?

 

Edit and at least you now have a decent selection of Tyres

[turbobob]

Meh. 10kg overall. Yeah its a reasonable amount. But how fussed are you. And were they speedlines or speedlinealikes that were weighed?

[Zoobeef]

Proper speed lines. Think the alikes are a bit lighter. If I'm going as far as removing the stereo and speakers to save weight then 10kg is a lot and easy to shift haha. And important being unsprung and spinny

[Bumblebee]

My speedline fronts where 2kg heavier than tubby fronts with tyres (ku39)on but the same weight as the back compared to tubby wheels with Bridgestone tyres on

As it has no purpose other than track I may as well take advantage of free performance mods haha.

[turbobob]

Really? Seems a nice motor for a track slag. 

[Zuber]

M62 or Harrop ?

 

And welcome back (sort of, since you never left...)

After 2.5 years, I have returned.

 

That's great news.

 

 

Welcome back sir

[Claws]

What is heavier? 2kg of wheel or 2kg of kernels

[Goosenka]

Really great news Mark.  Great garage of cars you now have (minus the Mazda obviously)

So, what have I been doing? Stripped the interior completely, cut off the headrests and fitted Steve A's harness bar and harnesses. On removing the egr valve one bolt sheered. On extracting that it took the end of the casting off so had to drill and new hole. All fitted and cheated now though. The front clam came off yesterday and the coolant was just water so drained all that. Removed the fezzasaurus heater (which is for sale) and bypassed that. Removed the fog lights but left the brackets in as the look like they suppose the clam a fair bit. Can I remove as well do you think? So today I need to refill the coolant, change the oil and bleed the brakes. Need to choose some seats to buy, find a zafira gearbox. And while I'm doing that I may as well do the flywheel. Then may as well push it as far as balencer delete and new chain. Then find a tubby back box and upgrade the rest of the system to 2.5. I don't want to SC yet as id like to track it as an NA first but I don't want to do anything to it which I have to change again for SC.
