    Re: mk2track car to develope to race car

    right you might have seen this on the projects section but i messed the thread up abit with comedy sized pics so decided to start a fresh here as the car will only realy live on the track!

    at the min its running a 1600cvh with a ashley system and manifold which is pretty much how itll stay for the moment bar a good freshen up a bit of head work and a good setup
    but ill be working on a zetec to compete with

    suspensions just lowerd and stiffend at the mo but ive got a couple of bits in store for that side of things so ull just have to keep a eye out

    rest of the cars just how ud expect it to come along hope itll be interesting for you all

    oh yeah if any1 happens to have a cvh sitting on their garage thats not being used im looking for a spare to do modify cheers

      my new seat came today was well chuffed with the speed it got to me only orderd it yday about half1 and it was with me before 9this morn!got it from demon tweeks and got free delivery so was well chuffed

      thinking bout it shouldnt have paid for the converdion bars really as im more than capable of knocking something like that up myself never mind

        Looks a nice solid shell to be starting with Best of luck with your build

              got a few bits done this weekend got my new springs fitted (did make a terrible school boy and didnt leave myself enough room to get to one side as i parked it to close to the wall so had to do some acrobatics)and got my new seat but im not that happy with the conversion bars and how they fit with the seat so im gunna get some sidemounts which should cure the problem

              had a old member from the site who im good friends with come round to see how i was doing(and to compare hangovers)and we were talking bout what needs doing and im shocked as to how much still needs doing

              think i need to pull my finger out

                      did abit more over the week got my new suspension fitted and had abit of a play with the mixtures as it was running rough as sloppy2nds and that seems to have cured it do need to get it to work and put it on a gas analyser

                      was gunna get a pic but my garage is to smal to get a good pic and it was to dark outside did take it on a private road to settle the suspension down think i may have given a couple of peaple a shock as i came towards them with no bonnet

                          next on the list of things to do is re fit the seats with the side mounts when they turn up on tues and fit my trs harnesses aswell

                          then ill be going all blue peter and using cereal boxes to mock up an dash piece before i put it in to metel
