Coming along nicely but to be honest I had no problems with the back three plugs I used one of those jointed socket extensions and they came out no probs.

Ready to Race

..well almost, today I fitted the new 3 point harnesses and I must admit that it gives it that extra wee feeling that once your strapped in, That your about to go into Colin McRae Mode

also thought I do a bit of stream lining..

and a bit more stripping on the inside.

After getting the tyres reseal, just going to run with what I've got just now until I replace at a later date with racing tyres. All that is left is a service and strip more if possible.

I did start to make an attempt to remove the door cards, but without braking them I gave up ha! how do you remove the likes of the window winders and the front in general... as I said I started then got bored and got a hammer and chisel and took some anger out on the sound proofing on the floor

so what's left to do;

- Service
- Wash and clean
- tidy up centre console
- remove door cards and strip more where possible.

il give you a hand taking off the cards when i come pick the head lining up buddy

pretty easy when you know how

The rear winder handles are dead easy. You need a stiff bit of wire and bend a small hook on the end.
Press the silver collar back behind the winder and you will see a C clip on the back of the winder.
Hook yor wire on it and give it a pull, it doesnt need to come all the way of. And the winder will just slide of.

There is one screw in the door handle and the whole thing slides forwards about 5mm. You will see the clip and plug on the back.

There is two screws on the door pull.

Pull the bottom of the door card away from the door and work your way up.

So after its 1st race yesterday at knockhill, and all going well, the plan now is to fix a few issues including the Inlet manifold. and get it right up to a decent race spec.

good chance it wont be out again this year.

so today I had the chance of trying out one of the improvements I am wanting to do, drop the wheel size and had got a hold of a 15" alloy to try out.

there is about a 2mm clearance from the alloy and a 1mm clearance from the weights and callipers. so Im looking for a set of 15" now and I am willing to swap for my 17" ... sounds a good deal to me I think

also planning on sorting out the induction, running a feed from fog light to inlet and getting a hold of a decent set of track tyres. decat to come as well.
