May have to keep my eye out for some e30 bottle caps as they look pretty smart Loving the key spacer

Bit gutted to have missed the Targa yesterday as it looked good fun. Look forward to doing plenty of events next year. Been getting a fair few tips from the facebook group on how to tackle the upcoming engine swap and it'll just be a case of fitting it in around my other motorsport commitments...

It's here As above, was told that it was an ECU fault, however, literally nothing electrical seems to work, so I may try swapping the battery first. It's declared scrapped so it's getting stripped either way with the motor going in to replace tappy mcknockface and build up a stock of spares...

Decided against the Targa, however, the 2018 Calendar is starting to take shape. Looks like "magic Mike" will see plenty of action next year

I've taken a gamble Complete scrapped car being delivered on Friday for £60 I've not heard the engine running as the key has stopped reading due to an ecu fault but there has to be £60 of spares on it if the engines a dud

Might steal that grill idea to get a teeny bit more air into the bonnet I'm always jealous of people who manage to find old ladies cars that have been garaged their entire life and serviced religiously at a main dealer for buttons. Worst one was an escort rs turbo locally that sold for £1500...

After having a fiddle about in the engine bay, the rattle/knock has definitely got quieter and less frequent, although I am now more convinced that its an engine knock so we'll see how long it lasts. A fair few people on the facebook group have suggested it may go forever, but in the mean time...

Taken several chunks out of my hand trying to loosen the pulley Wiper blades arrived for a dying car Yay

Anybody done it on a micra? Seen a fair few videos of it done on youtube and looking at all options available should be naughty noise turn out to be rod knock

So I have had a nosey around the engine bay tonight in the pitch black after topping up the oil. One of the belts doesn't seem to be running straight and sounds like it is that is where the noise is coming from. I'll have a go at realligning it and see if that cures the noise. If not, I'll...

Well what a day. The rain yesterday had left me worried today wouldn't happen. Needing a 2nd attempt to get into the field left me doubtful. Then half of the cars, including ours, getting stuck on the sighting lap after having to slow right down to avoid the spinning BMW, I did wonder why I'd...

If I remember the GoPro, I will bang some up. For those of you looking forward to my wiperblade update, it's bad news. They still haven't arrived so I have contacted the seller on eBay. Have also discovered a small pool of water in the car this morning after last nights rain so have some...

Bit of debadging today As you can see, I care deeply about the paintwork so had to attack this weird badge/sticker with a screwdriver that came off in bits. Few good scratches on the paint now :D Race team stickers and a couple of old race numbers I had in my toolbox The tarmac autotest...

if you search for manx club motorsport on facebook youll find the group on there which will have info on the 2 clubs autotest/solo events, night rallies,stage rallies etc

There is a club running them in a field yes, although vast majority of them have been rained off. If it wasn't for the gravel and tarmac ones run by the other club always going ahead, I would more than likely not be talking to you guys right now

Yep have seen his car in action a few times. Mine will never get near that level. I've the RS if I want to go fast and the kart to get my racing thrill and those will take priority over any autotests that clash

I'm in the Isle of Man and as they are still fairly small events, the regs are pretty liberal in an attempt to just get people out. Several cars at the previous events have had stripped interiors and not placed into the special class with the chopped up, roofless mini. This will be in Class 1...

Just blown £7.33 on new wiper blades all round :eek: I'll post an update when I fit them :rolleyes: Took it out tonight to do the Tesco shop and see what it's like with all the weight out. Mighty impressed with it and looking forward to Sunday

Dry Sunday, so set to work on a weight reduction programme. Basically working on the principle of, if it isn't needed, it goes. Gave it a proper good hoover out and I've just left the dehumidifier in there to banish any water that may have been inside. Also found some change which...
