Baby has arrived so this post might be all over the place. The block is in my kitchen, loom is in 5 pieces in my study, the crank is in a machine shop, the head is in a different machine shop, various parts are getting blasted in Kent, the dampers are in Bristol, the hubs are in the shed in...

The detectors can all be removed, the one thing I couldn’t remove without the light was the passenger airbag button, not sure if that is possible?

Yeah you should be fine, if you keep the loom in you can start / check everything works after cutting which is a benefit. The only gotcha on the canbus is the way it loops through the power steering and into the instrument cluster but I doubt you want to touch that, the rest you can see clearly...

Cheers, I know that my current interior loom is just under 2kg, not sure on the standard but must be close if not over 10 so its worth it. The easiest way is to take it all out, remove tape and then trace back / depin, it seems extreme but doing it in the car is really tricky and time...

Looking like its going to be night and day setup to last year :thumb: Did Nick sell you the solid front arms separately or am I misunderstanding? Ignore me, thought you meant the new solid subframe bushes/arm.

I have a lightweight pulley and you can certainly feel the engine rev faster (when not loaded) however lots of talk around the requirement for a damper on the crank. Some use a 1*2 pulley instead and then a stretch belt as this saves some weight and I think it’s what the racers have. Make sure...

Yeah there is a restaurant which isn’t bad, it’s just the garages, no idea how the BTTC guys manage.

Thruxton is great but the facilities are not, the garages can just about fit a single car

So the upgrades have already got out of control, with the manifold now blowing I have upgraded to the PMS system, as always it looks awesome. Involved a cut to the Akra system and a sleeve to fit but all relatively simple. Also took the opportunity to upgrade the mounts with the PMS kit as...

In my case it is because the OEM mounts have been removed to save weight however I believe the OEM fixing meet FIA spec as per detailed here as I know a few clios that run with standard fixings but then it isn't very clear...

Would love to but its a lot of work, fair play to those that put the effort in as I enjoy watching others builds on YT. Yeah no idea how they where ever legal, I bent 4mm of steel on my seat mounts so no chance these would hold as they can't even be 3mm.

Cheers for the messages guys, been through various states of mind since but feeling positive about it all now. With the new shell jacked up I set about starting the rebuild, about 100 times more satisfying than stripping. Gear stick / linkages, handbrake, steering column, exhaust, rear beam /...

Yeah the video is well worth a watch, serious money spent

So I bought the CarbonWurks / Pro-Line shell, seemed mad to be committing so soon after crashing but I knew it wasn’t going to stay for sale for long. I got a bargain, paid less than the asking with a load of parts including mounts, spares, subframe and rad/fan, which is about 90% of what I...

This might help you, from memory it was very time consuming / scary cutting into the tailgate.

Do you know the part number for this pipe?

Yeah it was big, the adrenaline wore off at about 11pm that evening, don't think I slept for about 3 days after. I haven't found anything that looks to have failed before the crash, there is a bump right at the apex on Surtees which makes the car 3 wheel so everything is on that rear right. My...

Legend, should have a good idea of what I need soon but tbh I am a bit baffled as to how much survived.

Cheers guys, someone shared this on the TrackTime group, haunting..

TLDR, 2 weeks ago I booked a last minute shake down at Brands, started off great and finished very badly, lots of things broken and the shell is a write off. Started the morning with a damp track which allowed me to get used to the changes, with the car now being lighter and a stiffer rear...
