I said a 10 second car not a 10 minute car
got all the braces on today, very impressed with the quality of them. Also impressed how well planned they are, not sure if there worth welding together as all the outer mounts are all directly onto the subframe plates so minimal flex between them.
An old friend who's an MOT inspector came round, got him to have a quick look over BT as i was worried about all the new rules that have came in. Quite interesting as he pointed out about the airbag removal rule that its upto him to prove it had one in the first place, which as the whole system has gone he can't. Said ABS could be an issue as it obviously had it due to the 4 speed sensors, until i pointed out the traction control which needs the sensors. He was more bothered about the number plate screws, non-factory exhaust & movement in the headlights. All in all alot better than even i was expecting, did say the brake servo needs to go back on (would if i hadn't cut it up lol)
Ooooooooooh monkey bars lol a lot of these new mot rules can be down to the inspecto. You kust gotta make sure you get the rigt bloke cos if you get failed on something, that somebody else might pass, ya screwed

The bars look really good, look like a really nice fit too.

i was surprised how easy they were to fit, especially as the bolts haven't been undone for 14years lol. Hardest part was the front brace, the front 2 mounting points use existing holes in the subframe but they aren't threaded, so you have to get your hand inside the subframe to put the nut/washers in place & hold it there while you get all the washers, bar & nut on. I'll get some better pics once i've picked some batteries up for the camera

i knew that
it is looking like the batteries knackered, although having an alternator might help now loland I think asking her to post an acid battery,might be a bit risky??!
whats more important, getting the engine running right or being able to stop? lol (i'll sort them later)i assume the clips are for the coolant?
and what about the brakes?

got my new HT leads, £7.50 of fuel & hopefully over the weekend i'll get chance to fire her up & see how it is. Also got a lovely pressie of jubilee clips so i can work more on the coolant pipes. Picked up a new USB-serial adaptor which seems to be working so hopefully i can set the traction control. Also i've seen pictures of the finished lightweight crank pulley, has got a minor adjustment to machine out so going to be a few more weeks yet, but he has weigh'd the final version & is 1.6kg lighter
0.6kg on the left, 2.2kg on the right
