Thanks guys. Nice to have a few minutes to get in contact.

Clive - what do you mean...only half a car 

Boosted - yes if the FD taught me anything, it was respect the right pedal. The FD had no driver aids, so that was a good schooling before the TVR. And why are you selling up ??

rejapi - well done getting the car...not so well done breaking it 

Few more pictures..sorry it's not a Rotary, but at least I'm consistent with the colour 

Hi Jim,
I'm ok thanks. Great to hear your making progress. Have a look in the introduce yourself section, I've put a few pictures on the TVR in.

Are you still track day in ?

  well it's a start.

Sorry I've been absent for a while. Pressures of life/work/work and work seem to consume any free time.

Yes I sold up everything Rotary (well not everything, still have a garage and shed full of FD goodies). I quickly became bored with the lack of a speedy vehicle so I bought a bucket list car (my bucket list), a TVR. It has the Speed 6 engine. Quickly realised it was no replacement for the power hungry FD, so I had the engine rebuilt for more POWER ! (well a bit more anyway).

Problem, its great to drive, handles really well, makes a huge amount of noise and is YELLOW. You know how Clive and I like Yellow cars 

But there is a dilemma, its just too nice to put on track. Oh and Mrs R isn't too keen either.

All is not lost though, as I'm sure I'll eventually be back in something that I can thrash around a track, happy in the thought it will have an M in the manufacturer's name. 

Hi Jim,
Great to see you making progress. 

I'll try pop round for a cuppa (when it stops raining)

Well I go away for a few days (or months) and you get another. 

Looks great well done Malcolm.

Sold

Hi
Mine has rusted in the same places. I had the lower wheel arch inner cut out to put a new piece of metal in...that exposed the inner sill that was pretty non existent in that area. Had to cut out the outer sill to gain enough access to repair the inner sill, which needed part of the floor in that area cutting out and new metal adding.

Might be worth checking your inner sill before its all welding up.

Will suit any large turbo. Its new and never been fitted.

£50 collection or plus postage.

Bought this off Col-Rx ages ago and never fitted it (had a cusco set up). The label states NAPAC (Nippon Auto Aftermarket Committee) ASEN.
£80 collection or plus postage.

This was fitted to my FD when I bought it and was advised it was a Cusco. Now its off, it only has the identification label I've shown saying 'CMR' auto sport.
Its about 21mm diameter and it worked very well for 8 years. I only swapped it as I went for a full Racing Beat set up.

£90 collection or plus postage.

Hi All

Had this in safe storage for a few years. It was fitted to my FD for around 6 years and only replaced when Concept 7 brought out their spoiler.
Has a few minor age related marks and I've tried to photo one slightly bigger mark.
It clips around the rear lights (I held it on with double sided tape for extra security).
Prefer collection as its made of light weight fibreglass and may not survive postage. But if you want to risk it, I'll cover it in bubble wrap and post.

£150 collected, or plus postage.

So, took it for wheel alignment checks and to set the castor etc as I have changed various suspension parts. This car is weird, near side is lovely with very little rust, whereas offside is crusty. Offside camber bolts are seized solid. After a lot of WD40 over a number of days/evenings I attempted to free the front camber bolt. With a long bar and extension tube I managed to break the rubber bush from the housing !! 
So now I need to smash the bolt out and replace the bush and bolt 

Wow Love that body kit and the coloured carbon. 

Not much done over the weekend. Just fitted the Prodrive Spoiler (thanks Ben).

Jon, I ran 235/40 18 front R888 and 275/35 18 rears R888. Arches were rolled, but the 235 fitted without rolling arches. Cannot remember the offset as that will influence tyre position in the arch.
