PH1 Flamer.

I honestly struggled lol. Couldnt get the cable to the whole, but couldnt pull it through!

[Djw John]

Should've just fired up

[DannyR]

I always start with the pedal side first then work way up

[dmallett]

Thats what I intended to do, but i literally just yanked the old cable out with out taking much notice of where it came from

Just taken the car for a farmer country back road thrashing and it didnt stick once, fingers crossed!

[Djw John]

Just feels nicer doesn't it?

Proper mans way of doing it, pull it out without even thinking about it

If you say your pedals are now sitting better sounds like it was stretched! So it was probably an old one on your car and almost certainly why it was sticking, good thing you changed it before it snapped!

[dmallett]

Probably the original cable!

Also lost the clips off the tatty old carpet/heat barrier so might take that out at some point.

[DannyR]

I would, you definitely don't want that catching on the manifold

[dmallett]

Won't cause problems with the brake reservoir etc?

[DannyR]

Nope mines all open to the elements, I will probably wrap my manifold now my engine is out but it's never had it there and that includes on track and getting fairly hot too!

[Djw Dave]

Looks great out on track. I do fancy some pins for my friont bumper for easiness/scenetrack points, but aero catches are pretty steep for me being on such a budget. The normal pins not do much good?

[dmallett]

The thing is my bumper clips on the wings are pre tty broke. So the pins worked fine, until I removed the cable ties that held the bumper rather than bolts as the bolt holes are elongated for some reason. The aero catches work 20x better, I dont know if that's because they pull onto the pin, or cover more area. I agree they are pricey though

[dmallett]

Also getting 519 to fit ARP bolts when doing the cams now

[LewisTaylor]

Good lad

[dmallett]

Tonight I swapped my white williams for some black ph1s and a ali bonnet plus some cash his way.
The white wheels were being borrowed my a mate with a 182. So he has the F1's for the moment. My other mate with the silver ph1 is now running the white williams wheels.

Few random shots.









I will run the F1's for Marham, then get them refurbed anthracite and put some nice new road tyres on. The bonnet will be fitted with aero catches and fitted later in the year

[Rhys Beal]

Good work Dan, little bit more weight saving
How much lighter is the ally bonnet to the steel?

[dmallett]

Its something like 6kg lighter, i may be wrong!
Also ill be hitting you up for the spraying of the wheels, hope thats alright



Also will get the grill sprayed as its noticeably different colour, at the North Weald meet i was told it look pink lol.

[Rhys Beal]

Never noticed the difference with the grill tbh!
And yep no worries, will you remove the tyres and rub down/prep them?

[dmallett]

It is noticeable :P

Ill sand them down/get them blasted. I wont need to primer them will I?

[DannyR]

Why is Luke's car on what looks to be 1.2 Clio rear shocks lol?
