Thanks buddy, I do try and keep it as tidy as possible, but also making it lighter/quicker each year as well. Its a fine balence. The most important thing for me is for it to be reliable, so i can jump in it when im back and drive it

Carpet is definitely staying, although this is mainly a track car i do take it out to meets or days out if the weather is good, so keeping the carpet for the sake of 0.1 seconds is well worth it imo. And im sure you will see it at some point, i loved going around to all the meets a few years back so ill definitely be going to as many as possible while im back

Still as good as ever!
I dont think ive driven it since October lol, in fact its basically not had the car cover off since me and Tom gave it a proper clean and PC polish in the middle of october!

What do you do for a living if you dont mind me asking? to say you wont see the car for two years is along time!

What track days have you got booked for this year? Cadwell and Ring?
My bank account is shivering at the moment but im resiting the temptation lol

I work in sales for a company called Telstra in Oz (basically same as BT), selling phones, internet, foxtel (sky) etc. Its good money but bloody hard work, I can work over 55hours most weeks... including saturdays.

Currently got the ring and cadwell, but have a credit with a company for my cancelled mallory track day (due to snow) at the end of last year lol, so will be doing either mallory as its literally 5mins from my house, or maybe snetterton 300 new track looks pretty good. WOuldnt mind doing brands or oulton park as well.

I see fair enough mate, must be pretty nice to live and work over there i guess? How comes you changed your mind on the boot lid?
What date is this cadwell track day? I wonder if its fully booked, odds are that it is!
It really pisses me off i have no decent tracks around me that are decent enough for my cars spec. Hmmm

Tufty - Boot lid ill keep and do my own thing with it, just requires some work as i want to keep it oe looking so hopefully Bic can put a number plate recess into it if it doesnt sell. We will see...

Cadwell wasnt fully booked last time i checked, think its gone up 10quid now though to £165.

Yeah oz is good mate, just miss friends, family and the mango from over here.

Anyway the mangos currently in lots of parts, i got digging at the weekend and the bay needs some treatment so gonna get cracking with that. Took a few brackets off and gave them a lick of paint, as well as the new larger servo (gti/vts one) & the 23mm MC will go on at the same time. Also took the alternator belt off tonight and thats nicely brittle and cracked all the way round so ill grab a new one of those tomorrow.

Few pics just to keep it updated...











Going to try and get the bay all cleaned up lob loads of "krust" on it during this week and then wack it all back together at the weekend

Managed to get the servo painted and back on this afternoon (what a bastard!),

Also got the alternator bracket off, cleaned up the pullies (as they were a bit rusty due to it sitting for long periods) and the main pully at the bottom of the engine to check it was all good.

Next is to put the 23mm MC on and bleed up the brakes, make sure everythings working, and then tidy up the bay and put it all back together. Should be done by Sunday
