Hey folks, been a long while. After seven years post my initial restoration project. I have now decided to sell on my car to a new home and hopefully someone who can continue to look after and keep these modern classics on the road and out of the parts bins. Had the car MOT’ed this week and the gara...

I'm local to Snetteron and been using my car the past year just for track day use. Getting repeated overheating issue last two times out. Result being car bleeding coolant all over the place until it cools down. It's odd as it runs at steady temp but all of a sudden jumps into the Red. Looks like I ...

Passed MOT with only advisory slight cracking on one tyre wall. Told me car should have CAT but given he could not find the engine on computer he tested as non CAT

time to shake it down!

I did all my breaks not so long ago. Does take some work if your planning to remove and refurbish them properly, but if all you are looking to do is give them a nice coat of paint as I think was your question......then follow the basic guide to unbolt the caliper and remove pads and the slider, hang...

Ok, so this post bring me right up to date now. Weekend before last I got my uncle over with his compressor and paint gun to give the car its colour. No great expectations given we painted the car outside and you cannot control flies dive bombing the car and spring blossom blowing all over the place...

Solved. 29p and a 7.5amp fuse. v.frustrating, but pleased thats all it appears to be. time will tell.

Still awaiting my new multimeter, but could not resist a bit of a look around again tonight to make sure I have not missed anything. Interestingly I noticed that my reverse lights were not working, so looked up possible reasons given testing of bulbs and wiring proved all ok. Only remaining item is ...

So dealing with an ABS issue as well as what I think might be a faulty alternator this week (See other post) :roll: , but in the mean time wanted to update the thread with other work already carried out as I prep for the track. Tidied up the frunk and engine bay just to make presentable, nothing fan...

So went to test and multimeter not working, so ordered replacement. Meanwhile, ran a test by letting engine warm up. Interestingly after minutes of running the pulsing calms right down. Also when you are at high revs. Does pulse a more between idle and 3k revs. Engine itself seems to rev and idle ju...

will double check and also get some readings. Away now till Sunday unfortunately. Thanks for the help so far

Good point about it being a delayed reaction after engine start and does appear to be in tune with idle after a few seconds. Car rev's up no issue just out of interest, but did not want to be running it up for to long given not sure whats going on. Have a multimeter, where do you suggest to take rea...

So followed the ABS check procedure and now even more confused

So ignition on and all expected lights on, unplugged service plug and terminated E1 and Tc. Oddly no ABS light at all, but instead the P/S light flashes on and off at 0.5sec intervals. Not what I was expecting.

Still no wiser!

So fired up the car yesterday and out of the blue the ABS light is now on. More oddly though when I start the car the ABS light pulses. Turning on the headlights and they pulses too interior and exterior. Wonder if the ABS is not at fault and its something else causing it. Plan to go through the ABS...

Lucked out with the HKS BOV, came with the car. Immediately liked the sound :thumleft: With interior sorted and IC in place remaining time was spent getting the body into shape. Refitted the side skirts and front bumper with bond and rivets. Used up a tin of P38 sorting out all of the deep scuff's, ...

Unfortunately condenser is scrap! Pretty much dismantled itself

In order to finish the roll cage installation I needed to remove the Intercooler. Decided that I might as well upgrade it given the effort to take the factory one out. Decided that in order to give me as much room as possible I would go ahead and remove the AC pump and pulleys while at it. Made a wh...

Not that quick, been working on it since Back end last year, Playing catchup with thread as I get time over last week or so.

More to follow

Spotted PP Cage for sale on forum, thanks George_M for sorting me out :thumleft: Also want to credit Ashley for a top thread on how to fit these. :clap: Striped out the interior and made a trial fit, marked out the positions and made pilot hole's etc. http://i1054.photobucket.com/albums/s497/Jackdan...

Still playing catchup with my posts.... Moved on to brakes. As the car had sat for about a year I did not have high hopes and on the drive home it was pulling all over the place, so suspected one or two callipers had seized. As it turns out every corner was in a similar condition. Ended up having to...

Thanks....

Half day making holes and cutting n shaping new material. Good 4 hours of welding and finishing. Then quick paint. One full on day!
