Have I fixed all of the cars issues? no. Did I buy new wheels instead of addressing said issues? Absolutely I did. In terms of tyres I kept my 255/35 Pilot Sport 4S but at the rear I wanted to try the Continental Sport Contact 7s and so far I have to say they're a better tyre albeit I am now running a wider tyre at 305/30. Fitment is bang on. I could've specified a more aggressive offset on the rear imo. My wheels specs are: Front: 19x9.5et22 Rear: 19x11et22 (I wish I went for et15)

Hi everyone, hoping someone has one of these willing to give away/sell, perhaps from a build project where it was no longer needed etc. ITs the trim that surrounds the centre screen/vents/aircon controls etc.

That bronze and blue is a hot combo man. looks great. I follow you on insta btw Stuggerz right? Im Ballistic350 on there

Curborough Sprint from today, only 1 timed run ☹️

Hey team, what time will the event go on until? Will try and pop by but can’t make it till the afternoon. Thanks.

This may be what you are referring to.

No, we can’t force it shut. yeah everything appears good. Will have to check micro switches etc. apparently there’s a link between bows 1 and 5 that ensures the roof is tight when up? I can’t see a connection between them.

Lubricate all the linkages and make sure that the micro switches are good. Does it close with a little bit of manual help? Also engine has to be running and your battery in good condition.

Hi there so my sons car roof works perfectly other than this one thing. It won’t fully close to latch the front onto the windscreen surround - it just stops. There’s maybe a 2” gap at the top of the windscreen. any ideas? thanks

In the process of finding the brake parts I found out some background on the car - it was originally owned by Frazer@ART and was the demo car for his big brake kit, he unfortunately didn't have the drawings for what was needed but he did send me some pics of what the car used to look like

Next up we've got brakes, I think the track time at silverstone took its toll on these discs which were already on their way out and this trip finally sent them to their grave - it was incredibly hard to find all the info I needed for what pads and discs work with this BBK because as far as I'm aware - this is either the only one or one of the only ones around (more info on this on another post). So I gave it some GTR 380mm brembo discs and some EBC bluestuff pads, as you can probably see the new stuff is in way better condition

Next it was time to address some issues I found during the trip, there was a misfire low in the RPMs (around 2.5-3k rpms) so I replaced both CAM Position sensors and the crank position sensor - the crank sensor especially looked really worse for wear

First job when the car returned was to give it a good clean - the wheels especially were filthy after 2000 miles

I've now sourced a pair. Thanks to those who contacted me.

Is this a current code or an archived code? Best to clear all codes, just to be sure. If DTC U1001 reappears, you will have to get a CAN system test performed to identify which control unit is causing the problem. I have all the control units in stock relating to this issue.

Thank you. managed to get a code reader and it says U1001 can comm circuit - would that be crank sensor related?

I got annoyed with my Southbend gearknob not sitting straight. Or loosening off the threads when the weather got really hot. So I bit the bullet. Drilled a 3.2mm hole and tapped some m4 threads into the front of it. I'd never actually tapped threads before. But it worked quite well. Just waiting on the correct length grub screw to finish. The protuding one is a place holder to test it works. It Should sit flush and solid once it's all done.

Thanks, will take her out to 2025 Torqen Summer meet this Sunday. Haven't been to a car show before, very excited

Just piggy back the wires from the clutch pedal switch. If it is not the clutch switch, then try the crank position sensor.

Hi, I believe my clutch switch has gone. When attempting to start all the lights/gauges come on but it wont even attempt to start. It has been intermittently like this so I bought the switch and was going to get it done with it's annual service this month but now it wont start at all. Before I call my breakdown and have to push it out of my garage, any tips for getting it going? Cheers

ULTRACE Part 4 We left Poland early and headed towards Paris for a day there, we took pictures by what I was told by the missus were landmarks of her favourite tv show before escaping the worst city in the world I did manage to get "parked" right outside everywhere we went though - confidence and foreign license plates go a long way in keeping your car nearby without having to pay for parking lol

ULTRACE Part 3 The car show itself was unfortunately underwhelming - some great builds there (not very many z's aha) but it was poorly planned so we spent more time looking for water than at the cars. That evening though we attended a car meet that was straight out of a NFS game.

ULTRACE Part 2 After finally getting some rest we had a day free before the show so we went on a shopping trip, took plenty of pics and videos of the cars before a drunken night that ended at 6am after the sun had risen
