Visiting Mohammad to finish welding up the rear section of his old E190

brought a cheap tyre repair kit online as recommended removed the slightly leaking screw repaired it as instructed and it's worked! no more leaks 👏 coolant return hose still occasionally collapses only after pushing it hard. think the hose is old & floppy, gonna replace it soon...

2023-08-07 Design Clutch Release Force Measuring Jig Design 1: constructed with a few flat bars, it seemed too flimsy Design 2: next jig used a basic tube frame sitting on top of the release bearing and then runs directly over the bolt holes in shortest path, but this makes it difficult to...

Thank you I've ordered a set ;)

Took the punctured tyre to a local shop and they said I need new ones :rolleyes: lol no chance, they're new since Feb so I'm just gonna silicone seal it and occasionally keep em pumped up 🤭 To figure if the new Primera p10 clutch assembly will fit, I modelled the bellhousing Along with the...

Thanks Seb 😇😉

2023-07-22 Redcar Fun Gala Show Went to a local show with my CCS club. morning started with light drizzle but we were lucky it soon kept dry was a great fun day with friends, I even won the 3rd best car of the show 🥰

so driving the car normal after the trackday, the coolant no longer bubbles out or collapse the return hose. also checked the compression & spark plugs, all perfectly equal/stable swapped back from trackday brakes over to the road driving set and fresh set of pads few days later had a...

the rubber seal is integrated to the distributor body

On a personal note, I recently spoke to Jamie (who used to film my car on LetsTorqueCars channel and he now does body&mind fitness coaching) agreeing about how the condition of our body influences our mindset/confidence. now the reason for this conversation is cos nowadays: - I'm stuck in a low...

2023-07-03 Teesside Autodrome - Evening Trackday Arrived early at the track to fit all my cameras and prep the car on this lovely warm dry day :cool: Was also pleased to see another K11 preface red Micra turn up which was Mark Dodds 😃 Swapped over to the semislicks Car setup / changes...

2023-07-01 Taped the sizzling hot pringles tube back onto the intake hose lol these Federal track tyres are now getting old & worn thin and I've been thinking bout finding some replacements my local salvage yard I frequently deliver at had some semislicks laying around so I thought I'd...

hehe it reminds me of them old school drag cars with the massive cowl induction hoods & various engine gauges put behind em

cheers, it's a nice little fix for the time being till I have to replace it all again. yeah that tiny splat ain't a worry vs the rest of the body ;)

thx m8 aye it's definately nowhere near a 'show&shine' level of perfection & cleanliness for competative shows, that's not what she's for. she's more of a casual hobby project car. use her for daily commutes, roadtrips on holiday and occasional track fun. occasionally testing new ideas on her...

removed the radiator for better access to reach & weld the rear side of the crossmember welded these vertical square tubing to the top & rear-side of the crossmember to help spread the forces from the center-beam over a larger area welded a plate on for the captive nuts, I welded nuts...

the rest of the crossmember looks fine, not enough to justify replacing it all yet and besides the replacement beam will probably have the same design flaw. it's just that one weak section that's buckled leading to cracks over time. mending it with a patch will do for now since I have a show &...

reinstalled the dash & stereo few days ago some bird shat on her door which baked in the sun & etched itself before I wiped it off after finishing work 😒 tried to polish most of the stain off for afew months she's had this faint odd buzz/rattle in the front end when coasting...
