TimD Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 (edited) I managed to persuade Abbot's brother not to break his Starlet, and went to collect it today. Some pretty horrific weather was the only issues faced on the ~200 mile drive home back up north to Sheffield. Spec so far is pretty decent..

First on the long list of jobs is a visit to custom cages to have them fit a Clubman cage, but before that I have to completely strip the interior of car, wiring, dash, glass, you name it, so that should keep me busy for a week or two. Will grab some photos tomorrow, I have 7 days of insurance and after that it will be taken off the road and hidden away for me to work on.

RobSR Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Unless your doing so for another reason, check with CC as you might not have to drop the tank. I would if I was having a cage put in / welding but see what they say. It's not always necessary from what I've heard Quote Link to post Share on other sites

conorIRLgt Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Thinking of doing a few bits to mine to try and increase reliability on track days ...just curious as to what your going to do oil cooler etc ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I asked CC what level of trim they expected the car in when it arrives, fuel tank and fuel lines are on the list of things that need removing. Fun. Ah i see, excuse for a fuel cell and braided lines through the cabin then! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
