Final build update starts on the previous page! So... The first track day in the E46. All Loaded up on the Thursday evening we set off down to Anglesey ready to camp over the night before. BBQ's packed, enough food to feed and army from the Tesco and Bangor and we were set for two nights...

Update - Monday - Donnington. So since the last visit on here a few things have happened. Firstly was the trip down the Donnington to meet up with a group of friends from on here, really funny evening in Donnington town the night before with an Indian with Mr Ghandi. Which has started the forums...

Yeah mainly due to the fact I like the subtle look with the BMW’s. Been there and had the bright cage. If I wanted a custom cage it would have been a few months wait. Full price plus the extra for Powdercoat. Matt black was in the sheld and got it at a very well discounted price next day...

Love seeing this come together, or should I say back together? Nice touch with the red stitch!

So... I've got a nice 5 week break from work at the moment so time to get my teeth into finishing this before the track day on the 17th at Anglesey. Once we got back from a weekend of racing at Cadwell, Sadly didn't finish the race due to a shafted gearbox in the Civic. Ripped the Gearbox out...

Looking good, I'm a big fan of Glacier white 200's. Looks a really clean example. Keep the updates coming!

Anglesey on the 17th August. Got 16 days to get it finish and tested! Painting is happening this Saturday when I've finished prepping it, the bolt the cage and dash back in next week, alignment next Friday.

Looked into it in a bit more detail this week and the dual vanos on the e46 is much easier to remove and service than the E36 I've messed with in the past which requires the tool to remove the vanos unit. Will find the seal kit and get one ordered and probably do it before the track day. On a...

Yeah it will be done, probably before the map is changed, waiting till the gearbox is removed to do the detents on the gearbox, making it easier to get the timing pin in when doing the vanos service, on the to do list but it isn't right at the top to be done before the first track day.

Been very short of time over the past week or so, only just finding time to log onto here and update with a little bit of progress. Started off with the Parcel from Europe I had been waiting 8 weeks for, it was certainly worth the wait though. RTD Tall Race shifters with a custom Duel Sheer...

Good work. Like everything if you’re willing to put the time in. Learn about things and be willing to make the odd tool or buy a few things here and there these jobs aren’t too difficult. Helpful if you’ve got access to machinery though. I’ve lost count the amount of tools i’ve made to be able...

Didn’t take long for you to come back? What have you gone now? Standard or modified?

Good driving mate. Clio’s sound so good on the down shift when driven properly!

Yeah should plenty that, couple of mm is enough clearance there. Will only get closer if I lower the car but I doubt I'm going to go any lower then where I've guessed the dampers needs to be set, if anything I think I'll need to go higher. Thanks again. I've only learnt everything I know about...

I just bought a LH die and made it myself on the lathe out of some hex bar.

Had the same issue with mine. Remade the link out of some better quality steel. Had no issues after that.

Black bolts and you’ve moved the calliper to the other side?

Forged engine! And Hybrid turbo! That’s a big step from where you was a few months ago! Got the power itch to scratch now?

No worries. It is a great car Jordans, Shame there isn't a build thread for it all for people to read. I'm lucky I get to see it most weeks as it progresses. Anywayy... Bit more progress on it this week. I've worked on it 5 days this week and a full Sunday. Took Saturday a for a bit of chill...

Nice update there Matt. Just spent a while reading through it all and catching up. Look forward to seeing this out on track again with the faults ironed out.
