So if took a knock during race wouldn't split guessing that filler would be made of quite thick steel!

Re: T-Cup becomes the ST-Cup!
What a F'ckin nightmare of a weekend trying to get the car all ready for next weekend's Festival: 9 hours Saturday & 11 hours Sunday :crap: :rolleyes:
Cleaned & degreased the engine & engine bay
Fitted 11 turbo gearbox
Dropped engine & gearbox back in
Fitted exhaust pipe bung
Swapped discs round (Thanks Mart ;))
Adjusted seat slightly
Car is effectively back together now but it's not quite running as sweet at it always was, (got some water round the dizzy & plugs etc) so need to fit new plugs & dizzy cap etc to make sure that's :cool: and also need to have another go at adjusting the new gear selector rod as I can't seem to get 5th gear or reverse properly :scratch:
Glad I'm going to be at Blyton early on Friday to give me chance to give it a run round, finalise a few things & bed the brakes in! :laugh:
-
Re: T-Cup becomes the ST-Cup!
Bed the brakes in, stick the front on axle stands, spin it up then lean on the brake pedal :D

So have had a bit of a result on this Pallets!
I e-mailed JSW Car Care to see if they knew anything about Stephen Jones and to also see if they are the same JSW, and I had a reply from them tonight saying when they next see Steve they will mention it to him!!
Looks like we may be able to find out a bit more about the 1990 elf Turbo Cup and T-Cup?!
Wonder if he's still got the original race overall's he wants to sell?? :scratch:

Re: T-Cup becomes the ST-Cup!
I've uploaded one of the video's I took from the Telly showing the 1990 elf Turbo UK Cup race from Donnington Park and you can see Steve Jones driving car 28 together with some in car footage!
You can see Steve Jones having a bit of a ding dong with Mark Fish who he eventually passed and finished second!
ENJOY!! :D

This certainly adds to the case for this being the same car!

It was the late 80s/early 90s, they were still in production. If you bent one you just ordered a new car.
I think im right in saying a cup car could be ordered through select main dealers? Obviously for race use only :)

Cup cars all went through Renault London.

Re: T-Cup becomes the ST-Cup!
FOOOOOOOOK?! :cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:
The water gasket that blanks off the right hand side of the head near the turbo has just let go in a big way & I need a new one?! :mad:
Anyone got any ideas where I can get a new one tomorrow?! :scared:

Re: T-Cup becomes the ST-Cup!
If you fancy coming down this way, I got one in the kit which is for Briggs if he dont mind, else might be able to get one ordered in from work if not.

What set does it come in Dale?
That may well be an option?! ;)
-
Re: T-Cup becomes the ST-Cup!
Got it in the corteco kit. Got 6 holes with one corner hole set inwards
Have to ask Briggs permission as technically it's his but if it gets another cup car there I dont mind loosing out of the sale I guess if he changes his mind and needs it, or will get a replacement in from work for him.

Whatever you do Steve, DON'T physically go to that place! :scared:
Not unless you've got wads of cash with you. The place is a little treasure trove of Renault goodies! Eugein and I kept that place a bit under wraps, but we went up there a few times so he could get parts for his Gordini, and me for my gtt. He gets parts from old closed down Dealerships, and stock clear outs, and he has random parts for all sorts of old Renaults! He's open to a cheeky bit of haggling as well. The more you buy, the better the price ;)

Mate I feel like it's one step forwards, fifteen steps back at the moment :crap: I reckon i'll be bringing the cup to sit on the trailer as a showpiece at the moment :rolleyes:
But FFS bring some of that Gasket if you can, be prepared as Baden Powell said! :laugh:

Re: T-Cup becomes the ST-Cup!

Re: T-Cup becomes the ST-Cup!
im sure i pre made some blank gaskets last time il see what i can do tmrw mate. will call you during the day steve
-
Re: T-Cup becomes the ST-Cup!
Ive just re-read this, you dont need a gasket for the blanking plate? Why not just take it off and seal it up? Will be fine. Thixo or stikaflex, anything will do
