Nice results!

Do you know what they are doing with the BTCC Primera?!

LAST WEEK YOU SAID YOU WOULD NEVER GET A FMIC!!!!!!
hahahahaha

 

[Lloydy]

I asked what they were doing with it as i was interested in the wheels and brakes... He is rebuilding it though and said i'd need the subframe etc. Not simple lol. He has a receipt somewhere for £345,000 for it.

FMIC would be needed if it gets mapped on the rolling road. Plus i think it'll look good. I didn't have a good experience with the apex type 2, but i'm hoping this one will be better.

Deposit has been paid for new wheels aswell

 

[CMR]

I did wonder why some of your pics has the standard wing mount and others a FMIC half fitted! Car is looking well though, good results on the RR too.

 

[Lloydy]

It's not a standard WMIC mate, it's a Greddy spec-R one. When i removed the bumper to fit the Apex fmic, i found it lol

 

[CMR]

Stand corrected, didn't read your spec list properly!

 

[Lloydy]

Yeah this thread is a bit scruffy, i'll have to update the first post soon

 

[JaseYpk]

i've got the apex type 1, which requires cutting, but aside from that is simple enough to install and didnt have any problems

 

[Lloydy]

But you have ditched the foglights mate

 

[craig8585]

£345,000?! You can buy a rolling F1 shell for a little over that!

It's interesting to see how far they take the touring cars. Pretty much everything underneath is bespoke. I was looking at an old Laguna the other week and it was very impressive!

 

[Lloydy]

Well after buying in nearly all the parts for 3a, i seen a poorly RX7 that needed some love. I then sold the 3a parts and picked the rex up.

Turns out she is (or was) a RX7 R1, genuine Competition Yellow Mica car, 1 of 350. Picked it up with no engine or gearbox, and the engine bay is bodge central. Plan is to tidy her up and fit a bonkers engine

Oh, tip of the day! Don't use Ultralite wheel nuts...

All that kit to remove a wheel nut that cracked with a bit of pressure

I saw that car last year when I went to the Renault national day, at Santa Pod, it had an rb25det in it. He lined up next to me on the 1/4 mile and I was 3 seconds quicker than him in that, I was shocked at how slow it was. I also saw it with the bonnet up at one point and it looked a right mess in the engine bay.

 

[Lloydy]

Yeah the engine bay is a right state, won't take too much to get it looking ok again though. The rest of the car seems ok. It's just going to be a drift/track beater so its all good

 

[Adam L]

What engine have you got planned for it, mate?

 

[Lloydy]

Haha now that's a secret

 

[Adam L]

Fair enough . When are you looking to have it ready?

 

[Lloydy]

Well that's the problem working away during the week it'll be 2 months at least

 

[pegliobaglio]

Hey did you get this from db power? Think I saw it there looked pretty clean apart from the engine mounts lol

 

[Lloydy]

Yes mate, picked it up from there 2 weeks ago. I will be starting again with the engine bay lol
