Brilliant mate. Not gonna lie, I'm a bit jealous!
Taken me 3 days to begin to get my head around this
Jealous i have a garage ? Jealous i'm ok with a set of spanners if needs must ? Or jealous of our array of Options drinking chocolate ?
If i'm not losing it; you have a to-die-for Lotus Exige, a rather special M3 CSL; and the use of an especially nicely specced R27. So you cannot possibly be jealous of the £800 C2. You've probably spent more than that on Air filters for your 3 toys....
That's it isn't it. I've got it ! You're jealous i can do something on a budget. Something you've clearly never managed
Productive day. Up at 5am to attempt to do some stuff before work; and straight on it when home too.
Took a lot of effort to get this puppy working. And you start to realise why some 'issue's' get left. Still there was light at the end of the tunnel....
Cut and made a 'pre-filter' to go in place of the cabin filter that doesn't exist for this particular model; and stop crud getting into the cabin - through the otherwise open pipework - when the fans are on:
Took delivery of my £48 (Yes £48 delivered in the ECP 'Sale' !) OE 3-piece clutch kit; which are supposed to be really good - and will handle a few engine upgrades too if we go that route. Fitting Wednesday along with 2L of fresh oil for the box:
Fitted new wheel-caps to finish off the freshly coated wheels. And the first of a few stainless jubilee clips / finishing bits for under the hood arrived and got fitted.....
Can't decide on Spax, Apex or Eibach springs. [All for a 35mm drop]. To be fair i likely can't afford them this month either ! But thats next along with some 15mm hubcentric spacers all round.....
