havn't done much to the car since we got it running as been trying to get my money back off of some thieving northern scumbags so i havn't had any money to do anything.

brands hatch trackday is next tuesday so i will be busy this week sorting the car out getting it ready.

got to bleed the brakes out and keep my fingers crossed that the annoying problem i've had is fixed

oil and filter change.

check everything is tight and tip top

then to joe on monday to be mapped.

whilst the head was off i noticed the steering coupling rubber was mullered so replaced it with a pro flex item

old one stripped down

Yes cheers Ron, it,ll just finish the car off now pal, i was keeping it standard when i bought it too....

Mind you Ron, this Gunship Map of Karl,s is fantastic mate, MID-RANGE torque is better than my old saff on the T38...

It,s peaking @ 27 psi..on a T3...

Great road conversion though mate..

Anyway, i,m HI-JACKING your thread here dude...

Ron mine are alright.

The 3dr's up forsale
The RS2000 is leaking water into the car
The Saph hasnt been touched in 2.5 months. Need to get some work done on it, or it will be time to tax it again and it wont be ready.

Get some good pics of the Brands day, and remember the offer of some help at Oulton nerxt year is allways there.

coming from a KA owner

thanks mate, no idea on the weight yet, will weigh it once the upper spoiler is done and roof. doors are next


any guesses on weight? tailgate with spoilers weighs 5 kg's. no idea how much the standard one weighed but when it fell on my head once it was heavy bonnet weighs 2kg's. grille weighs 500grams. roof will be 4ish kg's
