cozzy jeff

iTrader: (4)

Well, its taking me two weeks to get through this thread. Awesome read!

Thanks for making me miserable about how untidy my car is compared to yours.

Keen to read how you go with the hydraulic clutch conversion with regards to the MC and slave cylinder sizing and pedal-clutch feel

cozzy jeff

iTrader: (4)

haha thanks for the kind words mate,i try my best.
gearbox oil turned up this week,great service from the oilman

mike re-done the brake lines in steel for me,much better job than in copper and you don't have to paint them,ill try and get some pics of them fitted next time im working on the car.

new wheel arch liner in place(anyone got a decent n/s one for sale?)

spent a couple of hours cleaning up the exhaust,i will have this remade at some point as its not to my liking and also the tail pipe is too small.

Agree with the exhaust jeff but it did sound lovely tho

BRAMMER

iTrader: (23)

see what you mean about the tail looks weird like a magnex

Mines alright for a modded car but this car is in a different league, i've stood next too it and the workmanship Jeff has put in is as good as you can get

cozzy jeff

I agree james chris has an cracking car and a hard act to follow.

from what I remember on the drive home(four years ago)it did sound nice and not too loud cruising on the motorway,not that I done much cruising lol.

cheers chris that's nice to here,your car isn't too shabby either
ive followed your car since you got it and you've done a cracking job with it,given more time and money id love to have mine with similar spec to yours.

over four months has passed and the spec r parts have arrived,the bad news is only half of them where in the box

also waiting on parts from AP RACING to refurb the calipers,these will be shot blasted the painted(can anyone recommend a decent paint).

Tanks look awesome..

BRAMMER

iTrader: (23)

Nice tank Jeff, cant believe you only got have an order though at least you can do a little more

cossie daz

I really like spec r stuff but I waited longer than that !!

Looks great though

cozzy jeff

iTrader: (4)

I think so too mate, the chances of them stay scratch free is highly unlikely, maybe see how it goes I might have them powder coated.
Well that's it mate I'll get them done this weekend hopefully
I'll consider myself lucky then lol.

Them brakes will be mint when fitted.

RS SHAUN

iTrader: (24)

Nice to see you haven't painted your tanks black jeff chrome is the future!

cozzy jeff

iTrader: (4)

they'll be mint once painted up glenn,looking for a decent set of pads to go with them.

polished alloy is nice shaun but once its badly scratched you cant do much with it,they may end up powder coated.
got the header tank fitted today:



got the swirl pot and hose fitted:


made up the power steering return hose in Teflon:

last job of the day I got one of the AP'S blasted:

fezzajsy

iTrader: (9)

Nearly there

BRAMMER

iTrader: (23)

Getting there now pal, you got some AN fetish you've done it to everything lol looks awesome though

cozzy jeff

iTrader: (4)

you could say that matepower steering needed done as I got rid of the standard cooler,now runs through the reservoir.
just need the water return from reservoir to header and oil separator to catch tank and im all done.

cozzy jeff

iTrader: (4)

ive done a couple of jobs over the last few weeks,but progress has slowed a bit.
could really do with a motivation boost.
got the exhaust fitted with mikes help.



got the grill mesh fitted:

had some parts arrive in the post,got myself a volt gauge to monitor voltage at the pump,new bits and pieces for the front calipers:



got one of the calipers painted today,turned out ok me thinks.

Cossy Mike

iTrader: (4)

Haven't been on here for a good while now was expecting this to be finished jeff lol

cozzy jeff

iTrader: (4)

thanks for the kind words lads
I know mate its dragging on,tbh I don't think ill be doing a great deal more this year,probably get the other caliper painted tomorrow and the other spec r stuff when it arrives,if it arrives.

Jay,

iTrader: (4)

Hasnt pete sorted the bits out Well when I come to do my bay next year ill go bailey I know there not as nice but fuck all that wait time

cozzy jeff

iTrader: (4)

I don't blame you jay,as far as I know hes still waiting for the filter that slides into the breather tank,on order from America apparently
I text pete this week but hes not replied

Jay,

iTrader: (4)

The thing is when i put him on to julian godfrey for the rally cross cars and the rs200 hill climb car I said dont let me down and more importantly dont let them down and he never has but i keep hearing his road customers moaning like just before

cozzy jeff

iTrader: (4)

he does sponsor certain cars which get priority which I can fully understand,but my order was placed back in april and only half of it has arrived.
the problem with pete is he cant tell anyone NO,which just adds to his work load and mine have been getting pushed to the back of the list of things to do for months.

Jay,

iTrader: (4)

exactly jeff

Jay,

iTrader: (4)

You on lunch or holiday wtf is going on kid ?

BRAMMER

iTrader: (23)

Was round at Jeffs last weekend Jay, seems (Spec R) Pete is still holding him up but i have to say the car is awesome in current state, when it's complete it's going to be some spec motor

cozzy jeff

iTrader: (4)

I have been away Jay but been back two weeks now, I have done bits and pieces recently but nothing major, I'll update later on tonight.

Cheers Chris, yeah Pete is holding me up a bit, he's told me the last of my tanks will be sent out Monday so hopefully have them fitted this week.
