Just bought myself some gauges oil temp and pressure so they will be on the car in a year or two

Also been trying to fix my rear carrier but carnt get the drive shaft out and its really pissing me off.

once thats done i'll be able to put the new carrier on and have my rear wheel sitting right.

Then its just fit this little lot.

fmic not on right yet.
fit battery in the boot or buy a small one.
Tein tie rods and ends
front and rear strut braces
steering bush
2way diff once its arrived
and get it painted and the kit on.

All in a days work i think

Right drive shafts sorted so the carrier will be done nextday off which is sat.

I hate not having my car on the road its pissin my off.

Got alittle work done on the car today and i amean a little.

Could i like hell get this nutoff my hub



Its a 27mm nut holding the hub carrier in place ( nut is the top one) and even with the help of beemer joe (cheers matey) it wouldnt budge.

Does anybody out there have a genie and air gun so i can wisk it off please.

I am trying to get the car ready for its mot asn only need to do i couple of jobs one of which is having a bonnet which i still havnt got back from xmas eve.

ive just had an idea mate.

If you can't get hold of an air gun 2moro and you're back down there again, i've got a bit of unistrut which I might be able to drill and somehow fix to it.

That way it'll be easier to hold and have some leverage while you undo it. Don't know if it'll work, but could be worth a try.

Will have to see matey if i could spell proper then all would make sence

Genie is ment to say Generator.

Managed to sort out my quickshift i think.



Will put it on when i get chance to see if it works.

Because i carnt get the bolt off the hub carrier i thought i would take the back bumper off ready for when i put the new one on and guess what I CARNT GET THIS OFF.

Stupid bolts at the back of the bumper or rounded off so its going to be a case of cutting the bumper off RRRRRRRR will nothing go right on this car at the moment.

wots the plan of action then ?

I havnt got a clue

calm down matey, i got a bit of spare time this week, so if you want me to come down one day, in the van, with all the right doctors tools, then i ill, but i ain t comin in the dress ! 07840397441

Dress?!?!?!

Andy you scare me but if you want to help i'll be trying to work on the car after 2pm on suday.

I am prob going to get white line anti roll bars at the end of april and maybe the kit sprayed then i am going to start thinking about engine mods been talking to jez at horsham developments (vie email) about getting my car to 250bhp and have give him my list of mods so far.

Been told i will need a T28 and his stage 1 chip to get this so maybe i'll have 250 quicker than i thought.

Also thinking about getting a cammed but not sure whats best or how to do this any offers????

Not sure about the best cams matey, TBH I dont think many bother and there aint really that many available due the the limited production run of the CA18 in Japan.

I know a few people have fitted an inlet cam from a Sunny / CA18DE, not too sure of the gains though.

See how ya get on with the turbo first, cams is a N/A mod more than forced induction, turbo and fuel should come first

Fixed the rear hub carrier today at last and the wheel sits right no more pos camber will be staying away from kirbs from now on.

Also fitted my wheels and got my bonnet back.





Just need to sort the front mount and get my new wings and the cars of the bodyshop for a respray.

Think the wheels need doing white though.

Yeah I agree wih the white wheels mate.

Look great in gold on Donnas car, but just doesn't go as well with the red

At least SOME work is getting done

How'd you manage with the hub carrier in the end?

I think they look quality in gold personally, to be honest I see a lot of cars driving round with white wheels and most of them look pretty tacky.

Might look good on the 200, but the gold look sleek as they are anyway, but your decision at the end of the day matey. Glad to see the cars coming along sweetly.
