    Matty's One-Seven-Two PH2 - Track Car Build

    Keep up the good work, i like the fact your doing all the neater finishing touches that often get left just because its "only" a track car. Where did you get the battery cabling and fuse holder from if you dont mind me asking?

    Stealth dashcam install

    It was well over a year or more since i tried it but if i remember correctly it was the connection on the ribbon strip itself that was causing the problem. It may well have been interference though aswell. Besides that im happy with how mine is as i cant see it from the drivers seat, i had hoped...

    Stealth dashcam install

    Upper engine mount question

    I had a similar 'problem' when I changed mine even when I compared the new febi mount to a genuine mount. Once I turned the mount upside down it was clear to see the rubber had sagged. That was the original 100k miles old mount. It eliminated the harsh thud up front on mine.

    Thanks, haha nope it's definitely a clio engine and a jc5 130 gearbox. The engine was sold as spares or repairs, by the looks of it the aux belt snapped and knocked the timing out. The gearbox was sold as crunching and whining in 5th. The plan is too rebuild the gearbox and see what is...

    Rich's BG 182

    Sorry only just seen this now, thanks it doesn't scrub up too bad, need to get rid of the swirls as in sunshine like its been yesterday and today they stand out and make it look terrible. Now the splitter is fitted it looks right again, such a small thing but bugs you when its missing.
