Project - Yellow Racing 180.

[Cally180]

update for today:

new track rod ends fitted and new CV Boot arrived, but didn't have the right socket to take the Hub nut off..Doh!! so thats tomorrows job,

breaks have been order so awaiting on them along with new coil packs and leads.

today's bargain find is...




out of a 206 in the scrappy, so now I can remove the full Interior and move it on complete and to someone looking to upgrade

I wouldn't be putting reclining bucket seats in a track car... they don't offer nearly as much support in a crash.

But saying that they are better than fitting harnesses to standard seats - there's a working amount of people doing that these days!

[Cally180]

It didn't cost much to get them so they are better than running with standard seats, plus let's me now sell the interior as complete.

With time I'll get proper seats + get my money back on these. Gets me started.

[Maxxed_Ross]

Sounds like a good plan

Update:

so past few days iv managed to get a new CV Boot fitted and new track rod end to the ZS along with fitting in the new bucket seats.

running a stripped out shell pretty much.

new pads and disks arrived today so started fitting them, only to find all my Callipers are sized solid and not for budging... plus I have a bust seal here and there so the plan now is to replace them ASAP.. best place to get them?


would have pictures to upload but the phone is not wanting to connect to the laptop


whats left on the to do list.

breaks
Callipers
sort tyres
fit new coils + HT leads
and more stripping

Funny I was just looking at your monaco's on eblag. 285 miles doh.

Any way they are prone to it.

I got my rears out right from this guy

I got my fronts on exchange from Bigred.

Whats stuck, pistons or sliders ?

I'll make it 250miles if that helps you ha!

I just found and bought a 2nd hand pair off fleebay for £90 all round, even got in touch with the guy there making sure they are decent working ones.

think any one would be interested in my old callipers? or are they just scrap now?

[talkingcars]

Eurocarparts offer resonable prices for refurbished calipers if you "click and collect" if you can use the members discount code on .org.

I'm sure I paid less than £45 a corner once I returned the old one.

I used bigg red. They came back as new in less than a week for about a hundred for the front pair. New pistons, sliders, seals etc and painted.

Had a bit of time to play about with the Zed so new pads disk and callipers are on, decided on drilled grooved mintex to get me started and 2nd hand callipers due to having 4 seized ones





to do list:

- Sort tyres
- Fit new coil packs
- Service
- fit harnesses
- and clean it



buckets fitted, still to remove door cards. ideally I want two switches for the windows so i can still use them
maybe over the winter change them for perspex.






Had a attempt to fit the new HT leads and coils, and done the 3 easy ones but.. WHO THE F### thought it was a good idea to have the other 3 in at the back, so I left them until I do the service

13days left.....
