Project - Yellow Racing 180.

OK! so today was day one! and TBH I never done much..spent most of the day working on the garage. I left it to run to get up to temp make sure fans came on and off, and noticed I only have one fan that comes on and another that comes on when it can be arsed!..

also when its up to temp there does seem to be a small splutter or miss a little so defo one to look at, Ritchy did mention this so its not a total surprise.


The two weapons sitting back to back here.









as I said never done much but take a few basics off it -


Metal centre cap - Up for grabs if anyone is interested.




X-Power Door sills - again up for grabs




but after that I was time to stop as tomorrow is collection of another track car... and had to get ready.

Well worth the £5 subscription mate, especially since you are going to be around for quite some time getting the project complete.

When you start the car when cold switch the aircon off -
neither fans should come on -
turn on the aircon and one should come on -
do you have an obd2 reader such as a scangauge2,
if so plug it in for an acurate coolant temp and the other fan should come on at around 102'.

update for today:

spent the start of the day stripping out the garage to get the car into its new home,





once it had been in I set about stripping it as I'm still awaiting on a few parts to come.






as with the interior, I'm going to punt it but plan on using the front two seats for just now until I get cheep buckets or replacements, do you's think its worth more keeping and sell as a full set or sell split?





still to remove door cards and deal with the front but getting there.

Also got a chance to jack it up have a play about and thinking its only needing new track rod ends and pads and disks. so happy there. thinking about either mintex grooved and dimpled with mintex pad to just get me going or EBC yellow stuff pads and similar disks.

Can get my hands on a set of 16" rover wheels which I might use instead of the 17" and maybe a set of 15" which is maybe what i'd use if possible.
