come on guys lets here what ya all been doing over the winter months just in the middle of doing the rocker cover thought id start a few mods now as the suns starting to shine its a cheap mods paint sand paper lacure at for under a tenner and its made a great difference to the engine bay already lol

 

pics ??

 

A few of my cheapest and best mods!
Hydraulic clutch conversion £80 never got to worry about snapping cables again!
Quaife quick rack £100 (ebay) much more direct steering, if a little heavy!
Rally design quick shit kit £45, much tighter and closer!
Focus ST 300mm brakes £80, stops like never before!
Magentic sump plug £19, you wouldnt believe how much metal is floating around in your oil!

 

Do you think the magnet would be powerfull enough to interfere with a crank sensor mounted sierra cvh style?

 

cool get it all out lol

 

 

i would like to use the magnetic sump plug on mine but there isnt a drain hole
loads of 1 off parts ive been making at work
still lots to do

 

Air charge temp gauge off eBay most simple n cheap gauge I have ever fitted. Positive n negative wires n 1 that goes in to the charge pipe simples

 

what you done to do away with drain plug? how you drain oil?

we need pics

 

im guessing he sucks the oil out, my mate had a piece of kit at his garage did this was ok till he snapped the pipe that goes into where the dip stick is


great mods so far keep them comeing plp

 

gus
its not fitted yet but it is gonna be a pain to fill and im not looking forward to draining it

 

Sorry mate but WTF is the point in doing away with the drain plug!!!! that just sounds like a massive and pointless pain in the arse.... unless its a dry sump you've made

No,

Rob,

 

Oh and mods, spend the last 3 months scrubbing under the car removing all the bloody waxoil..... for all those people who love black wax oil, i hate you.

Cheap in money terms, expensive in time terms.... for any one doing this in the future firstly don't, and secondly just as i was about clean i bought a degreaser gun and am utterly fucked off as it is so so much easier than a pain brush

Cheap for winter soon to be fucking expensive for the summer.

Rob,

 

My cars built out of expensive, pointless parts which will probably result in it being completely undrivable

 

I am however going to do a hydralyic clutch conversion at somepoint. I'm watching your car carefully Karl to see if those Wilwood master cylinders really are up to the job.
