I will be at RTOC national day, provided all goes well with running engine in and MOT in next fortnight :-)
i have since fitted my exhaust, however it doesnt line up with the downpipe/decat so i need to get a flexi straight through made up (it was the plan anyway but wanted to get MOT done first) however it'll be done first now :-)
pre-rad when i swapped it, first pic was old way round, second pic was after swap over
and she idles nice too
ignore the tappets, then need some use to get them lubed up
Lol, sounds like a C1J
Re-using the rings!? You top pikey
I bet this thing is a real animal on the road!
massive mounts? that thing is so loud!
12 months ticket on it today
tickled boost on the way home too, including WOT.........
good god i actually popped wood 8) :twisted:
updates to come, perhaps vids etc depending how excited i get.
teething issues so far after 8 months out of action:
1 - Exhaust sounds like its blowing from the downpipe, all joints are leak free so its either a weird placebo from the turbo to downpipe gasket i've added (and considering removing, turbo and gaskets are just a waste of time) or its a cracked front pipe!
2 - exhaust backbox is knocking on the rear chassis leg a touch, not bad but not ideal
touch wood that seems to be it so far..................... drives lovely and my god does it shift!
The Rain The Rain!!!! Since I MOT'd the car Saturday its done nothing but rain, so not even used it!!!
not happy, 8 months of waiting and the Great British summertime scuppers me
as such I decided to look to the future.............and bought some more shiny stuff!
Looks like more rain on the weekend tooLooking good though m8! Can't rain all summer! Can it?
list of niggles grows:
- exhaust blows at manifold
- exhaust knocks on chassis leg
- cambelts too tight
- blowers don't work
- clutch needs adjusting - DONE!! :-)
- rear is too low, seems to of settled lower on new shocks and looks ridiculous!
mostly easy fixes, just hoping I've not split the exhaust manifold gasket.......
just weighed the car on the company weighbridge, not mega accurate (20kg) but gives an idea
960kg
that's without me in it and no fuel at all hardly, so pod weight including driver would be around 1000kg I reckon taking into account removing the heavy sparco seats and putting in my single GRP seat
I was hoping for lighter tbh!
looking really good buddy, Remember this looking very pokey on the m42 some time back, albeit i think i was roking the white and orange 306 derv bus at the time lol.

Bloody hell! We are 760 without driver on yellow race car. We have to run glass and winders for the project 8 regs.
Exactly the same weight as my old stripped out white Clio 172
Strange! Mine was 860kg with 20l petrol, stripped interior but 50kg cage included.don't be to upset mr coops, my 5 is 915kg thats with 25litres of fuel in the cell, i was shocked too, was hoping for 850kg
Mine was 875kg with the back seats in, full glass, electric windows, stereo, spare wheel, tools, full tank of juice an the F7r upfront
ai I know the 5's are much lighter
I was hoping for around 920 tbh in current trim, but I spose as mentioned, the reclinders are heavy and the spares still in there too, rip them out and it'd be more on the money
