Ah Mr House, its nice to read a few updates again, some nice welding to swoon over, add in a bit of fabrication and we're in anorak heaven.... sigh!

Loving the Tilton pedal box, presumably you're...

Bloody nora, I go off for a quick weeks skiing only to return to find all hell is breaking loose in the House garage. Have a little pity on us lazy mortals man...!

LOVE IT THOUGH lol

Bring on...

Darn it that is a real bummer :cry:, still I seem to remember some chap (OK it was Jonlem) recently mentioning that he was surprised your engine had survived so long without any oil pressure issues...

Ah Mr House, nice to see you've calmed down a bit...lol

And finally someone has come to realise that sticking the fuel tank in the spare wheel well isn't necessarily all its cracked up to be,...

Err sneaking this one in under the radar, go on then just which one of the Tilton units are you going for, quite fancy the underfoot cylinder version myself...



Remember the coversation about...

We all know that Mr House, as a dedicated member of Team Shonky, just loves to get his hands dirty and change the odd hub or driveshaft/CV on their track day outings. This little tweek save oh...

What the... really?



Ehhhh!



Too bl***y right it is, I feel like I might have slipped into some sort of parallel Nova owning universe lol

Ahhh! the engine project is finally coming to fruition, and what a lovely bit of kit it looks to be, from your comments the added expenditure isn't doing anything to help to expunge memories of the...

You are a gentleman and a scholar sir, the items are all noted, though I'll need to substitute the 0.5 ltr catch tank with a 1 ltr one to satisfy MSA regs.



I second that emotion, though I'm...

Don't tell me, the wife went out for a pint of milk and you felt lonely and needed some retail solace :d

Is there no end to your extravagance?



Loving this, going to be copying it before...

I think you just enjoy winding people up as I honestly can't think of any other reason to fit just one billet brake fluid reservoir lol, though you really need to put some effort into checking...

Ooouch! Looks like you got a bit lucky there, quite how you managed to retain the wheel is a mystery, I suppose the brake caliper was just tight enough on clearance with the disc to keep the whole...

Its good to see the car is coming along so nicely, presumably you've got your newly built engine in it, or have you? Come on spill the beans, I need a juicy engine rebuild fix...

On the pedal...

Blinked and missed three pages of updates, must you work that hard, you are putting the rest of us to shame :thumb:

Anyway back to the rear beam gussets, they are from the HH strengthening kit,...

Ah a mine after my own heart....:thumb:



I've just posted a pic of my installation using the standard Nova wiper mount as a base, going single wiper but want to find a right hand park wiper...

Ahhh, now you mention it I seem to remember those earlier posts, albeit quite a long time back, tbh I think all the XE bad news posts have started to merge into one...lol or should that be... :cry:?...

Just checked out the spec on the PH5's (yes I'm a full blooded anorak, what can I say!), so your not going to be pussy footing round the track then, with a rev range of 4 to 8k you'll need to get the...

An interesting debate on diffs, can I suggest you try to persuade Iain to let you have a run out in his car with the ATB, then maybe find someone who'll let you try their car with a plated diff...

That looks hilarious, I can see why you were laughing so much, especially when Iain heading off across the grass, thank god for lots of green run off!

Must say I prefer the 'In-Car' to the...

Ahhhhh! It appears I am ignorant! If the Engine management system is controlling the fan that would indicate that the controlling sensor is in the engine block, which rather explains everything...

Forgive my ignorance, but isn't that whats supposed to happen, especially if the car is sat still and not getting air pushed through the radiator as would happen when you are driving?

Hopefully...

Thanks Mr House...

Trust the boxes went in the recycling bin ;)

Have saved the link and reference number for later use, I might need to do a bit of surfing to get the best deal...

Working...

I've always enjoyed reading your thread, and continue to do so, entertaining as ever.
It is nice to see you've finally got it running and are beating it to within an inch of its life....

You're...

Nice to see your car hitting the track after an interesting build, good job done I'd say.

Loving the oil catch tank, especially the fitting kit..:d Still at least you can see how much oil is...
