Hi guys.

Time to start the project thread.
It starts with me rescuing this car


Intermittent starting issue (still not solved this), generally tatty interior but nice seats and a couple of few issues.
The clutch wasn't returning either, suspected slave dead.
As far as im aware its had Rica remap, and some lovely parma violet pipework put in, along with a dump valve, lowering springs, 16g turbo and a nice exhaust.
I was told it blew its engine out so they replaced it with an R engine, correct me if im wrong but aren't the only differences the map?
Again I was told it was 340hp, 310 at the wheels. Doing my research I knew this wasn't true, but hey ho I thought id try to fix her anyway.

Back at mine with all the stickers removed

They came of nicely so no issue there.

And straight on charge



All the plastics have been badly painted, not sure what ill do with that yet.


Interior is nice, all working bar the heated seats (which I had a look at the other day and found cut wires, so theres that to do.)


Looks ok.

Fixed the clutch. There was nothing but sludge in the reservoir. So fresh oil and a good bleed.

Heard a clicking inside with the ignition on.

Culprit, found out later that its a seatbelt warning so that went back in.
