First time it’s seen some sun light, the inside looks totally different with natural sun light on. Really impressed with it https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...06f76d1761.jpg

Looks a totally different car now with the sill guards & mudflaps. Gear linkage is so precise and the throw between gears in minimal, whole car will take some time to get used to.
Take the car down to Tony Law exhausts on Tuesday for a custom system then ready for a MOT next Saturday.

That is looking fabulous, an absolute credit to your efforts.

Like that gear linkage, looks solid.
No play in it at all, throw between each gear is minimal. Hopefully see what it’s like when it goes for MOT on SaturdayQuote:

Exhaust looks quality :thumb:... and that fuel tank looks like it's carbon fibre :eek:
Well chuffed with exhaust. I wish it was!! Just Kevlar guard. Passed MOT but it’s off the road now ready for gearbox to come out tomorrow. Had an issue with the clutch which is my fault for not checking before putting in.Quote:

Ahh right... still looks sweet though!
Shame you have to take it off the road so quickly, but if you've had the gearbox off before, it won't take you long to have it put right.
Car is looking good. :thumb:

My fault for not checking the clutch when I put it in, too worn which was causing it to slip. Got it all out in a hour .https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...1cebc7e12b.jpg

Not much I can do as waiting on a new helix clutch being made which I should get in a couple of weeks. Swapped over the release bearing cone that was used on the AP clutch for a standard one with a new bearing

Come on mate, you're slipping here!!! Mine was back in and the car running 4 hours after it arrived in the post!! Hahaha
On a serious note, I hate clutch and gearbox related issues, it's such a pain to do anything about, they're on my list of things I hate, up there with genital warts and syphilis.
New clutch looks a good bit of kit, is that a TTV flywheel??
I know hahahha, wish I had the time to put the gearbox in but that’s gonna be my task tomorrow. Yeah well I thought it was gonna be abit of a pain in the arse to get the box out when it was just on axle stands,but it probably only took 30-45 mins. Don’t miss lying on the floor with a F20 on your stomach!!Quote:

Flywheel is just from SBD Motorsport, 2.78kg and it’s just a 7.25”/184mm size.

Fly wheel looks a lot like my TTV. Lovely bit of kit, well mine was lovely until a friction plate paddle ate most of it!!!
I did cheat when it came to putting mine back in as I had the use of Ben's ramp, which makes things easier.
Using off the shelf parts is better than having to fabricate one offs, especially for things like clutches as it's such a pain to get to!!
When is your next event??
Yeah I’d never heard of TTV until you said so I went to have a look on the internet and they look exactly the same! I seen the damage from the friction plate on your thread, lucky not to do any more damage. Never seen a plate fracture like that before.Quote:

Yeah your right and I didn’t wanna go away from what Bill had recommended as I think he’s had a few issues with AP clutches on his engines before.
I’m unsure on that, entered into a championship this year but with the virus near enough all the events have been affected. So I think it might be a few local single venue rally’s or rally time trials which I have seen a few advertised.

Yeah the TTV is good gear.
My clutch was FUBAR!! Lucky it didn't destroy the box and block!!
Im hoping trackdays don't get cancelled again as I've a few booked and JSS at Cadwell in October.
Get some videos up of you rallying, be good to see some action
My thoughts exactly, very lucky it didn’t take the clutch cover with it aswell!Quote:

Yeah I deffo will, thinking of booking a local karting track for its first proper go out so shall get some in car.

Well if you're thinking of a trackday at Cadwell then keep me updated as I'll get booked on too
Car might see the road very shortly after having continuous clutch release bearing issues. Should have it all sorted now I have got a boss made up for the bearing by someone from work. Hope to take the car out for a good few miles to check everything is working how it should and then get it tucked away for winter.

Chunky spacer! I can't imagine trying to do events without road shake downs beforehand. REIS are good for competition car insurance.
