The size of the pressure vessel is not the main part you want to look at where compressors are concerned. The cfm is far more important, and whether or not it has a iron or alloy cylinder, it will last a great deal longer with an iron cylinder.We used to have a hydravane with a 50 litre tank and that would run two sanders all day long
Nothing special about cup cars are there??Originally Posted by The new Bill J
Only, ONLY?
Wash your mouth out young man
I know what you mean William, My cup car has a good and loving home now and will be very well looked after and used as it was intended!
I got my cup wheels made wider (7"1/2) for using bigger slicks.
I did some repair work to the rear quarter, brought a few cans of Renault Glacier white from HalFRAUDS!!
When it was dry it had a green tint to it, so i binned that and thought sod it, til i have time for a full respray over the winter i will just gloss black the rear quarter... (tempted to just do the whole car over the weekend..
Mainly just to stop rust starting/spreading etc... will tidy it up tomorrow, a few runs and alot of overspray but hey ho...
It will do for when i am at pod...
Get yourself some chalk board paint so I can write abuse all over it at National Day Chris

Like adey did on his old tungy....
may sound silly mate, but for the sake of £75 or so for 5 litres of a direct gloss 2pac paint including hardner why not buy some, a small compressor and a gun and have a spray , it may turn out mint , it may not but either way its going to turn out better than rattle can. being a direct gloss theres no need for laquer.. go on go 4 it
Already sorted that... should be here by morning...
I had brought a compressor, but took it back for a refund as i just couldnt be arsed...
But not i have borrowed a compressor and purchased some paint... will update.
awesome man, i wish you the best, do you mind me asking what sort of paint.. and are you doing it outdoors ?
I brought

I can send it back 1 back if i change my mind...
I am painting outside, but in an enclosed gazebo...
sweet, obviously get your hardner aswell, if you check my 205 we painted my engine bay using the jawel direct gloss paint and it worked well. I used this high build http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...STRK:MERFB:IID if its of interest to you.
Lush dude........
This evening i removed
newspaper
masking tape
All rear windows
The set about fitting perspex window's
Side windows were not a problem
Rear window was a b*tch at first but easy once you get used to it
Had time to wash the car, fire her up (first time)
Ready for POD next week if i can be bothered to trailer it there....
Not to much more has been done on the cup car, got the car to my house the other day, it now has its own garage to live it.
I have re-charged the battery, packed it for ND- Spare wheels & tyres, tents, sleeping bags etc...
Car being towed - noticed i forgot the tow board
Cup rims with Toyo's R888
Cleaned the car
Cleaned the seats for me and charlotte at ND
Cup car has a K-Tec sticker on it!!
Finally put the car in its bed...
I am thinking of selling this...
Will include
2 Set's of Cups with Good Slicks & New R888's
Plastic Window's
A-Frame
2 x Bucket seats...
Basically as you see it in this thread...
A decent paint job will make this car a top cup car, the bodywork is in very good conditon considering its a cup car.
Also has a new front windscreen fitted at ND

No, I have a buyer/part ex deal going on... just waiting for me to get a job before the swap goes ahead...
Its only bad news for those who were after parts... for me it a great deal.
Well after a full year of ownership, the cup car is going this weekend
Its been a good year and had a good outing at ND
I hope the new owner enjoys the car & has alot of fun in it.
Took a few pics of the car with its orange towing wheels
Just thought for once i would get involved in this section, some may or may not of known but i now own this car and in the next month im going to try and restore it back to some of its past former "cup" glory, so watch this space, the car seems a very good base to start with and seems to run nice etc , just needs a few things here and there, ie , engine parts , paint , decals etc etc, so if anyone has any ideas etc , chip in..
ps, just to add , i plan to use the car for hillclimbs, when i get off my arse nad get some sorted...{sorry james..george..}

How much were the door number boxes? Could he do the same with 'Renault Clio 16v' instead of the r5 cup script...?
Nice one Dude
Wheres the Ktec sticker gone? Hope you haven't painted over it
Thanks for all the comments guys, k-tec sticker still lurks under lots of paint...
Gary wants to sell the stickers as a kit on here and as individual stickers to anyone whomb thinks they may want a cup replica or just fancy some on their track beastie, i will find out pricies from him and put a link up to his e bay shop etc, he tells me you can pay via pay pal etc.
he has also done an exact copy of the cup sun visor, just at the time it was too cold to fit so its in the boot at the mo...
I also mentioned to gary that we have all been talking about getting cheaper exact replica side stickers..he tells me if he gets his hands on / borrows / scans an original set , he can get them near to exact...could be an idea...
I have done a bit to the engine as well etc , ill add picks of that too , when i can be arsed to upload more...my pc is slower than i am....
in answer to matts question , gary will do pretty much anything people ask...with stickers that is....
Bloody marvelous, nice one Matty...
looking real good
Jesus,
That looks awesome! Great work with the decals. I recognise those de-carbon ones
What have you done to the engine?
Chris
Thats looks great, I'd be interested in set of those graphics if your friend decides to make copies
The paint job looks great, was a professional job or DIY?
Al` thats no problem , he will be selling the kit or the stickers as individuals, ill sort a price from him asap, as for the paint, cost just short of £300..Thats looks great, I'd be interested in set of those graphics if your friend decides to make copies
