Track car...taking donations :)
 

Ok, so dont ask, don't get....

I am looking for any donations towards the track car. This will help cover the costs of little bits that need done. (The donation can be parts or money)

The things that need done in the next few weeks before going on track are as follows:

CV Joint replaced - £20

Gear Stick bushes - £23

Induction piping - £15

Thats really it! Not much needing done but as I have just spunked £148 on road tax today, my funds are a touch dry for a while!

In return for any donation I will have your name listed on the bonnet of the car as can be seen below from current donators. You will also be first in line if you decide to drive the car on track.

FYI, I have possible plans of a June visit to a southern track day.

Any help is appreciated guys :)

What induction piping do you need mate? CAF?

Just cheap flexi stuff 75mm... And a jubilee clip lol!

I currently have a filter attached to the standard pipe which is heat soak central! So need to relocate the filter and a breather bit too.

Will have a rummage in the garage for you in the morning :)

I have a small oil breather filter and upper and lower rear strut braces if they are any good to you?

Rear lower brace brackets are still on the car, but the work I will do this weekend should have them removed...

The small filter may need some piping repaired though...

Hi Smokey give us your paypal address, or PM me and I'll buy half a CV joint, would love to make it a whole one but times are hard for us oldies!!!,

Cheers for the positivity guys. Know the feeling Pete, running 2 180's doesn't help lol!

PayPal is smokey@smokeysworld.co.uk

Winging its way over as a personal gift, so shouldnt be any charges.

Best of luck with it all Smokey.

:yes::yes::yes:

Stand by mate I think I have stuff in the garage.

got it Pete, thanks a lot mate, makes it easy when ordering the part of ebay!

Dont know if half a CV joint works, have to get the whip out.

:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: ;)

have you payed goldie for the gearbox bushes if not i will pay him on the 5th may mate

I wasn't sure if Goldie had bought them, will speak to him though. He was going to do the work as it was short timescale for the trackday but other issues meant it was a no go. Will be in touch with him regarding them though, cheers mate.

Grimmy has found and is supplying the induction piping,, so just need jubillees and thats one tick on the list.

Sam, the breather would be great thanks!

Blair have a look a complete unit

Also this for induction

Induction is a bargain but still too much for me, wonder why the driveshaft is free p&p? Surely it'll cost more to post it, plus what if the bit wee need is also worn?

How many Jubbilee clips you needing ?

Paypal Personal gift sent ;)

Chance you take!

This is true lol, I've lost money on the bay before with offering cheap p&p lol!

Ian, cheers man! Need to get on to Dazzer now!

Marcus...2-3 I think?

I'll have a bid on this for you if it's what you need ... quick reply though !

Just bought a brand new CV joint! Cheers though Dan.

Have also ordered the gasket and putty for fitting the new exhaust.

All thats left is the poly bushes! (Although if anyone has pink coolant kicking about, that would be useful as the level is quite low lol!)

****** if only I had known you needed a CV joint sooner, I just scrapped a load of ZS drive shafts last week.

In future I'll send you a text before I bin anything lol

Sounds like a plan mate!

no probs mate,let me know,what happens

Will rumage round work for clips the morra..

Huge thanks to Steve Mead for his contribution to the trackcar

:thankyou:

Will look through the list, or may just paypal some money just to get my name on the bonnet!!!
Will do it tomorrow. Too late tonight.

All donations welcome mate! It's looking likely that the car will be at Oulton June 12 as I am at the BTCC on the 10th anyways!

Goldie still has the kit mate.

cool i will pay for it on the 4th may bud

That's cracking mate. Hopefully fitting it will prove easy!

Just sent you £10 via paypal, use it for what ever!!!!! All for a good cause :group:

Cheers mate, have ordered cv joint, gasket and putty for exhaust. May service the car before track day too now.

Perfect Nor, Have passed it on. Will keep the white background so it pops on the car!

Cool Blair. Have PM'd :)

Quick update.... Stickers have been paid for and Dazzer is posting them so will have them shortly.

Have received new CV joint and exhaust seal etc so have started on cv joint repair, will finish it in a couple of days time.

Andy is sorting out the gear stick bushes, Grimmy is supplying the induction hosing, Marcus has posted me the jubilee clips to fix this, Sam is providing a breather and two rear strut braces so the track car is getting lots of love from everyone and should be more fun to drive in May!

Once again, thank you for your kind donations guys and if anyone still wants their name on the car, a small donation is all thats needed :)
