Big Bens non Clio

[Big Ben]

Bit of spanner work this morning.
Changed front pads back to DS2500 as I can’t stand the amount of dust/crap the DS1.11 make
Will keep them for trackdays only. You can tell the difference in performance big time!

Bit of ironX on the wheels and jobs a good un. Callipers looking bit dull but they work fine so will stick with them for time being...
MrPinks pins came out nice and easy

 

[Pav]

yeah the DS2500's are quite civilised when it comes to brake dust...

Always good to do something new on the car yourself you didn't previously know how to do. Onto the next bigger challenge now!

Fully forging the engine...:excited:

all can be done Ben..just take it easy and enjoy your beast

All quiet last few days.
Still undecided whether to go with open nostril grilles or not. They Look great but defo needs meshing and not sure I can be arsed/get a good enough finish!

Car has a niggle with the throttle. Pedal didn’t work at all at one stage over the weekend causing some concern!! Wiggled the plug connector attached to the pedal and it sorted it!
Something to address when I’m back at Beaniesport. Having a new fuel line fitted as a precaution soon so will have it looked over.

Spa trip only 5 weeks away now. Literally cannot wait

Could just be a dry joint then Ben. Try a little WD40 on the connector.

Me neither! I just hope my new wheels arrive in time for Spa.

 

[Pav]

glad to hear your troubles were sorted quickly...pull your finger out with some mesh buddy..will look better and more airflow...

Confident they will?

I know I know. Weather is so bad I can’t face it. Also not sure how I’d fix the mesh to the back of grille

 

[Pav]

think somebody used cable ties but for a smoother look,im sure you could use some special glue..

 

[Johnny 99]

Confident they will?

Not sure now. I ordered them 15 Jan & was quoted 6 weeks but a guy posted on Facebook last week that he ordered some 15 Dec & was still waiting. Think the factory is busy just now with wheels for race teams pre season. Hopefully things will quieten down soon.

Whether the wheels are on or not mate will still be good to catch up again

All quiet at the minute.
Cars tucked away waiting for better weather.
Still no action from Scorpion regarding my new logoless tailpipes. Disappointed.
Having a stainless braided fuel line installed soon to replace a potential weakness. Hopefully all done by Easter.
Major clean/detail needed one weekend soon. Just waiting on the weather to improve.
Pictures once it’s done

 

[Big Ben]

I’ve bought one of these after a recommendation from someone:

Would be nice to have some footage of my upcoming TD at Spa. But I’m too tight to pay for a GoPro

Watch this space
