Can see in the engine bay pictures the Xsara VTS master cylinder I fitted, had to swap the reservoirs over as the Xsara reservoir rubbed on the bonnet when it was shut.

Bought some Kei Racing hubcentric spacers from UkTom, decided I wanted to go for proper bolt on spacers for track use instead of just using extended bolts, plus these are 25mm not 20mm so the wheels fill the arches a little bit better.

Jacked the car up and got the wheel off:





Spacer bolted on with a dab of loctite on the bolts:



And the wheel back on:



Also changed the oil and oil filter, wanted to fit new plugs but pay didn't quite stretch far enough, will have to wait until next week. The finished result of today's work (after a bit of a clean)











While underneath I found a few bits that are starting to show surface rust, so sprayed the lot with super cheap poundland paint until I can get round to rubbing it down and Hammeriting it properly. Also had a good look at my gear linkage which I'm going to replace soon, although all the linkage needs replacing there's play in the selector arm on the box too. Have posted another thread asking if there's any way to change the roll pin on the car and take out the play, anyone done it themselves? Any other suggestions or ideas would be cool too!
