You missed croft off your list. Will the GREEN machine be there?

 

 

hi m8 im not sure if i can afford the petrol to go to croft but who knows ,may be ?.
i am hoping to go on track at coombe though.

 

saw this at portreath three years ago, mighty impressive!

 

 

WOW thats all I can say

Now im REGRETING SELLING MY THUNDER SALON X PACK

 

that is an awesome thread!! always loved the car, but that thread has made me appreciate the work gone into that car.

awesome mate, good work fella

 

Wow, you have done some serious work on this
I remember seeing the engine down Joe Stevens a while ago, when i was having my engine built.
I thought i had owned my car for a long time (13 years)

 

heres how to convert your clutch to hydraulic





the slave cylinder is off a bmw e30 any model all same ,master is a girling 0.625 from demon tweeks.

 

love the clutch convert andy ! i want do the same to shonky , is it really that easy ?

 

yes m8 it was quite easy only ball ache was taking box out and strengthening bulk head 4 pedal box but clutch much lighter now well worth the effort

 

AWESOME FELLA, car always looks stunning in the shows, i would go for all green if a colour change is on the cards.

 

 

thanks 4 the coments m8 im not doing the body until next year but all green could be on the cards.

 

just had my front geometry set up this morning but could not get my castor right tried to set it to mike rainbirds settings but ive ended up with this


toe in 2mm total

camber 2.5. degrees negative

castor 5. degrees

could not get castor due to drive shaft binding with top mount all the way in
so turned top mount to centre line but facing rear wards but then wheels touch arch at back so had to set castor at 5 degrees to centre wheel in arch ,
it feels a lot more stable now but time will tell.

 

Sweet car.

Kawasaki green with anthracite wheels!!

 

looking good Andy, now stop messing about with it and help me fix mine

 

nice little clutch convertion ,a little simpler than mine lol

 

Very nice mate as always, never forget the time i heard you coming behind me on the way to weston, by the time i looked in my mirror you were in front of me and that wasnt at full power.

huge credit to you mate.

 

trev just give us a bell i am your( martini )man any time any place any where pmsl.

 

hi jimbo that was with a blown head gasket thanks 4 compliments mate

 

nice car mate,,, should the bleed nipple not be at the top thou?

 

( andrew g )yes mate it &i switched itaround just after i took the picture what a ball ache to bleed the clutch though when its up the right way.

 

Iv just put all this same kit no my 3dr and i never had to tuch the bleed nipple as all i did was was push the slave cilinder back by hand for about 5 min and all the air came dack up on its own

 

some pics from when i had my cars 4 wheel alignment session.

 

Good old Gupa P

Did the young lad do it Andy ? ? Any surprises ? Time for a rear beam i think

 

suppose you only need to do it once but you could put a pipe on nipple side and make it remote

 

yes the young lad did do it ,no surprises though & yes i would like a new adjustable rear beam

 

hope mine geo,s ok ha ha, its square with the tape measure ?

 

hi all ive been at it again doing more mods this time its cam trigger conversion & thermostatic oil cooler .

took cam shaft out to have it drilled for trigger only to find it was alreadytaped . so that was a waste of time .so i fitted cam back in now i got to pay some one to do my timing . ,so it was on with the oil cooler install ,out with the modine & in with the oil cooler sandwich


i fitted the 16 row oil cooler under the n/s front wing with air being fed from the duct in the front panel

 

hey pikey wheres the aeroquip for the oil cooler, and i'l sort your timing

 

ive got 3.5 mtrs of aeroquip in the garage i just need the fittings & thanks for the offer that would be great
