No idea I'm hoping it's the nut. I'll have to take it all back out and apart again at some point to find out properly. Might do the exhaust manifold first though as atleast that's progress. I did starr the car after fitting these mounts today, the vibrations are huge! I'm sure it'll settle down...

Progress looking good. Can i just ask though, what made you get rid of the black one to then do this which will basically be the same? Sent from my VKY-L09 using Tapatalk

Decided to tackle the toque mount and gearbox mount insert this afternoon. It was going so well until doing up the thread that's on the gearbox. The nut has decided to just keep on spinning. Won't pull anymore thread through but won't let any back out either. Has anyone else had trouble when...

Just a few small updates. After the trackday it was clear something wasn't right with the exhaust, so having turned the car round and put the back end on ramps I had a look down in the engine bay to find the flexi had gone. I have ordered a pair of replacements which will be welded in at some...

Loving the VLN cup racer! Makes me want to go far more extreme with my car

It should be doable as the shell is that same on both. As has been said the bit it there on the roof for one although you would need to change seat base, possibly back and add the buckle in. The 200's are classed as a 4 seat car though with the DVLA and insurance so it may have to be tested...

It will probably be a little while now but I definitely will. Too many things to fix before I have some spare cash for track time Sent from my VKY-L09 using Tapatalk

Another good day at Bedford, was going well until the end of the day. As I left the circuit I suddenly found the car was sounding a bit like an old Beetle. A quick look around a the noise is coming from the front f the car low down so I suspect one of the flexis in the manifold has given up. Not...

I've fully wimped out of doing Donington! I have however booked another day at Bedford on 5th November then that will probably be it for a few months. It feels weird having nothing to currently do to the car, although i am on the lookout for a second bucket seat that is larger than the one i...

Do you live on Bush Hill? I think i've driven past this lately as i'm about half a mile away from a black Twingo 133 that has appeared.

I saw him getting a talking to and guessed at noise.

Resurrecting this thread a bit but do you still own this car? Saw it at Bedford on Monday and initially though it might have a Megane lump due to the noise it was making. Wasn't until i looked at it after lunch that i saw it was charged. Sounds awesome and has some very nice bits on it!

I'll be honest, I would be anxious about doing Donny. Also the car would be far outshone on track by the rest of you who are going. I need to build up confidence in it properly again before heading to a serious track. I'll probably head to Snetterton after another run at Bedford. Sent from my...

First trackday since all the work was done yesterday. Had a fantastic day although it does help that I love Bedford. Car handled equally as well as it did before the accident which was a pleasent surprise. I'm already looking at booking another day there next month. Currently can't think of...

Didn't get as much done this weekend as I was hoping. However I did get one of the last big jobs done. Its amazing how much air it actually pushes through. I also finally sorted out my internal extinguisher pull cable. Sent from my VKY-L09 using Tapatalk

As I'm sure other will confirm you definitely would not want to drive one like this daily. I took it to work the other day and it wasn't the most pleasant experience in a shirt and tie! Got a few thing I'm trying to fit before the trackday next Monday but needed a second harness first. The seat...

Would be good to meet you and have a look round your car. Although it will embarrass mine in every way possible! It's Monday 8th I'll be there Sent from my VKY-L09 using Tapatalk

It's a Javelin day, not been on one of there's before but my brother in law offered to pay for the day in return for doing some laps in the car so I wasn't going to say no! Sent from my VKY-L09 using Tapatalk

Mot all went OK last week. Still got a few bits that need finishing and tidying but nice to be putting a few miles back in it. I had forgotten how direct these cars when you turn the wheel and how sharp the brakes were! Trackday booked for the beginning of October at Bedford so something to look...

Been getting it ready for its MOT which is booked for Friday. Just need to re-secure the front bumper properly and it's good to go. Passenger side door card is awful but drivers side has come out perfectly. Just need some pull straps so I can shut the doors from the inside. Thanks to...
