Really out of the blue this one!

Not much has happened after that, Got hold of a genuine v6 spoiler so had that painted and fitted. Hopefully get a front half of the cage for it this year and maybe a trackday or 2 🤞 Last pic with the latest project arriving on the trailer 🤦‍♂️ imagine a quiet life!

Next up, A trip to EFI. Thanks to Stevie at Mcnab Motorsport for running it down for me, Came back with a usable 206hp/173ftL. Drives great now! New seats/harness's - went with pole positions/schroth harness's after having a run a leon at the ring with this setup! Perfect combo. then a quick...

Bit of a gap in the pics. But, I booked a trackday before the engine was even bolted back together 😅 Rebuilt the head with wossner valves/cat cam valve springs/197 cams. Using jenvey/pms itb's/pms breather plate/spacer and catch can. pms manifold and gen 90 ecu. Pms engine mounts/pms radiator...

You will be shocked to hear it sat for a while after the bodyshop...not something id do 👀 Got suspension on. Went for Gaz golds/refurbed ast top mounts/refurbed Northloopcup RCK. Fully gutted the inside ready for half cage etc.

So after my initial plan of keeping it fairly simple, I bought this ph1 in for breaking aswell as a couple of other ex track cars. (Cant find pics of the cup) but it gave me a new engine setup, Jc5 box with a Gripper diff and a half safety devices R022 cage...just what I didn't need. I was...

After a trip to my mate Myles at MCM Chassis alignment that does my bodywork stuff then back for a quick engine bay paint it looked like this -

Thought I'd stick a post up on my track car as i've only ever stuck pics in the Ph1 172 appreciation thread. If you follow me on Facebook at Renomotive you will likely have seen this 👀 Anyway, Some background/pics. I had djw John's old flamer for a few years. Looked great, But shock horror...

Got various wheels for this, Still unsure what to run. Got some 2118's i've yet to get tyres on. Also got the 16" f1's refurbed but no tyres as of yet 😅 Bought some evo corse fondmetals. They are insanely cool but just dont feel they are suited for this ☹️ so have a brand new set forsale if...

Nearly upto date - Got another set of doorcards done, This time by a company called Transcal. They are absolutely fantastic. Ben was a great help, Giving me samples to take away to get as close to the trendlines as possible. Here they are - Got most of the interior back together now, Unsure...

Ran out of room for pics, Have some more. Had to move it outside to get a chassis out the back of the workshop for another project i'm working on 🙄 so here it is outside, Driven under its own power. First time in 8-9 years 😅

Next up, Lets fit the refubed hubs I bought ages ago...More problems. Turns out the bearing were pressed in/out on the brake tabs 😅 so caliper carriers were hitting the discs.... Refurbed another set of hubs myself this time, Jobs a good'n. Front brakes/hubs etc all built now. The plan was to...

I feel this post needs its own section, Its so laughable....If you're up this end of the world and looking for interior work. AVOID SAMCO INTERIORS LIVINGSTON. Absolute roaster, But in keeping with every disaster this car has endured, Heres what a 6 month wait on doorcards got me. These are for...

Managed to get a pair of good rear quarter glass windows from breakers as they are NLA. Scott from Scott-Glaze perth popped in to get them in 🤙

Suppose i should give an update...its not far off 2 years since the last one. Sure you will be pleased to know it runs and drives, And mot is provisionally booked 👀😆 Got the engine/box in November 22.
