Looking good babe lol lol
Im gonna f-u-c-k you !
With a bat over the head!
After having a wheel bearing decide to let go at around 70mph there was more work needed doing to the bloody car.
After cheacking damage it seems the bearing is the only thing to have died. It did manage to seperate the outer cv from the shaft also.

So 2 new bearings fitted to both front hubs. Replaced cv circlip and got that back on the shaft. tie wrapped the boot gator back on also.
While i had the front up in the air thought may as well fit a few items i purchased a while back.

Ill have some pictures of it all fitted shortly. just need to download images.
Well over the last week or so while work was going on i decided to fit my solid mounts and bias brake box and braided lines front and back .
The mounts were a pain to fit. But engine is solid now in the bay. No movement forward or back which was the main problem.
heres a few pictures.

All fitted now with bias box and braided lines throughout the car. All thats left is to bleed of the brakes and get the bias box setup. Once thats done then try using it again lol! who knows it might work this time. :)
All really to do is book it into the body shop. something ive put of for 2 years lol! so suppose i best get it in there. Oh the joys!
body wont be done for pv. to late for that. but hopefully the car will make it there :)
Will then get body work sorted after the show. and hoping to have some graphics ready to be put on! :)
Why whats wrong with the bodywork? Looks facking mint to me? Lol
Rear arches were rolled rally style lol! really needs new ones on and rolled properly. Its lived on the drive for 2 years and well shows little signs. nothing major. just a pissa as i aimed to have it done. but main thing is it drives. which is a huge plus lol!Quote:

Anyhow next came castle combe track day on the 16th of july.
Had a great day and car went well when it went that is. seems i had a bad fuel starvation problem (fuel surge) after cornering. few other issues also came up which i need to sort. so then came the fixes.
Invested in a 2nd fuel pump /swirl pot /bullet filter / new bearings for lowerd tie bars / plus some other little bits. i shall update shortly with the pics of the swirl pot installation. still not 100 percent finished but only a few connections away now :) should be all go for llandow if all works out fine with where everythings positioned. anyhow enjoy the few pics for now :)
