Should have been doing it now but retards on eBay can't put bolts in jiffy bags haha Bloody wiring eh. At least it's not a new car :wink2: Your idea of car cleaning sounds like mine - I like it. Similar thing with the radio too! Japanese spec radio only picks up 76-90 FM... so that leaves me with only one choice, Radio 2

Very strange, never heard of that either! Where did the test say you are meant to hold the wheel? I got bored after 11 questions, 8 of which I had got right.

Nah it just goes absolutely mental haha. Yeah I doubt it'll come off, but going to change it anyway for the sake of under £15. Car looks quality by the way, lucky chap winning that competition! I remember my dad having a Capri, 2.8 I think it was.

Anyone seen anything like this before? The place I bought the cambelt from (SBD - who are well-regarded in tuning circles) reckon it's fine, but I'm not so sure...

This topic got big, quickly! To answer the title, because it's hard.

That's what a roll cage is for

You can buy a GT3-batterer for half that, but it would be totally impractical

No.

Haha, all Welshmen are mad Yeah, although bikes are quicker in a straight line I think a car like this is about the same or quicker from A to B down country roads, due to the increased feeling of safety and much greater tyre footprint.

Cheers! Haha, yeah it is. 3rd gear at 90 will spin the rear wheels if its not bone dry... About 430bhp/ton at the moment.

Built so many wheels, 'normal' dishless rear hubs with ~45mm flange and an ERD of this value (548-550 depending on if it's eyeletted or not) are usually 266, then larger flange means a slightly shorter spoke

Obligatory photo-whoring (but not as bad as Prawn). Clean cars are baaad, mkaay.

You're right, I mean 0-60 in about 9s, pretty much rips the tarmac up behind it.

I was gonna guess 264 or 266 so that sounds good to me if you still want a calculation doing just shout...

Ah I thought it wasn't opening fully You will not beat an MX5 for a cheap track car, it's actually impossible

So, cars. Is your throttle broken Prawn? Just been out for a drive, was fun.

Happy to build it if you like, but know some people like to do their own If you fire us a pic of the rim and the hub, we can work out and email back the lengths no problem.

I'll grab a few pics of ours later if I get chance.

26twenty

It's the ratio of the teeth not the difference between the two numbers that dictates the gear ratio. If he went down 17 teeth... 18:12 is a harder gear than 24:18. Did you change anything else at the same time?

Yeah, they are good. Can't believe Mark Anthony still have some, lol.

Open 10-4, there's hardcore going down to make the floor a bit more solid too.

Do you use gloves?
