180 track car project

doing it like that these days would probably cost more than the car is worth!

[Smokey]

That had been done before. Jay bought his as a replica before taking the vinyls off. I loved that car and only just missed out on it!

[Noobrider]

I was quoted £170 to supply the vinyls.

Bit like this Smokey,



Saw Murrey at Blandford Tank Museum last year.

[Smokey]

That's the one. Really liked it too

[Maxxed_Ross]

what happened to that car? I remember something about NOS and exploding engines...

[Smokey]

Jay still has it

[Maxxed_Ross]

need to chase him back on here more often then!

[Noobrider]

I will paint it black at some point. Chased up the vinyls today so waiting for a response.

I'm working on a BTCC spoiler at the moment. Being an R/C aircraft builder and designer I have some experience in aerodynamics and building composite wings so I'm going to apply some of that knowledge to a big rear wing that actually works properly. Noted Maxxed Ross's comments about the beefed up boot lid.

Need to at least roll my arches to accommodate the 225 tyres as they do catch but it will give me the excuse to widen the arches at some point.

Stripped down the power steering pump and I think I've fixed the leak...its gradually bleeding through so there is less noise from the pump and it doesn't seem to leak anymore.

Lost a bit of get up and go with it today due to the weather...it was very cold and wet today and I just didn't seem to have the enthusiasm...kept nipping back in the office to get warm

[Maxxed_Ross]

I'm going to take some pictures of the wing and bootlid when I get back onshore

As for the wing itself, touringcarspares were selling GRP replica wings. Tony folded up the company a few months ago but it might be worth giving him a phone to find out where he got them from
