    Irish 197

    Hi from NI, check the heat shield on the starter, it caused me nothing but issues shorting out. I run without it now

    Yea couldn't bare the lettering cam uses :tearsofjoy: He will do two whites as well if you prefer. I’m so used to seeing southern irish cars driving around and I think they look weird with white rear plates :tearsofjoy:

    Always liked the RenaultSport show plates that you can get from Renault. But front and back are white, I think cars look funny with white plates on the back. Got these made!

    Sprint Hillclimb 197

    I noticed the quick release made it easier to get in and out with the cage. With there being one seat now there was no where to put the wheel when you take it off. Designed and printed a hook for it! (There is a second seat in the picture, but its just sitting there for somewhere to store it to...

    Finally got the car finished up and cleaned inside on boxing day. Got a snap off steering wheel hub as well "because racecar". Also got new harnesses to go with the new seat for xmas. Just need to get the car logged now!

    Sprint Hillclimb 197

    I bought a small fuse box that has 6 fuses. Its cool cause each fuse has a LED. If the fuse breaks the LED comes on. I took power to it from an existing wire that gets power when the ignition is on. Then ran the heater/switch with one of the fuses from that. The existing heater wiring is...

    Finally got the heater plumbed, wired and ducting attached. Got some pipe reducers from T7 Designs and attached them to a blanking for the original heater pipes. The duct I made to go under the dash to go from round to rectangle seems to work well too. Dash is back in now and the drivers seat...

    Spring Size for Gaz Golds

    Tried that email to see what they say. I don’t like the spring rates they specified and want rates more similar to cup racers

    Spring Size for Gaz Golds

    Emailed! Will update here. I see that email comes from gazshocks.com, I tried contacting the email from gazcoilovers.com before but they just sent me a link to the springs to order and said they would send the right ones. But they are about £100 more for 4 springs than balance motorsport or...

    Sprint Hillclimb 197

    Last time I weighed it, it was 1260kg with me in it and half a tank of fuel. Since then I have stripped 20kg-30kg (maybe a bit more), but added the front part of the cage. I will also be running with one seat now so will save another 10kg’s ish, and my new seat is a bit lighter. Id hope its...

    Sprint Hillclimb 197

    I’ve thinned as much of the loom as I want to inside the car for now. Wrapped all of it up bar the bits in the center there, need to get final lengths of those when the dash is in. I got some tesa tape like the comment above and also some tape that isn’t sticky and clings to itself. This is...
