Then it was rebuild the rear beam and raise the rear as it was too low. in went new bearings and new shocks and the underside had a clean up and some stonechip too. also removed the fuel tank to clean it out as it's been sat for 2 years, found another mouse nest on there too. and i broke a fuel line so i cant fire the car up yet

Also fitted a hybrid ARB that i got from Ratty



GINGER SHOCKS!!

This weekend i received the fuel pipe i needed from pugplus, so i could put the tank back on, fit a battery and turn the key, the engine turned over but no life from the fuel pump. I took out the pump and tested it and it was ok, I wasnt sure if the pump was controled by the imobilizer or maybe i'd cut one too many wires out of the dash loom when i lightened it, so i came on here and got dug into the search and found the imobilizer does not control the pump. a bit more head scratching later and playing with connecters and i was back on here again, used the search and found it could be fuel pump realy fault, straight away i knew it was this, only because i dont remember fitting it. Back down to the farm again, looked behind the battery, theres the multi plug but no relay! feck!, i thought to myself, where will i get one of them on a sunday afternoon? Then looking in the car i saw it, attached to an old engine loom was the relay, quickly fitted it and turned the key, the fuel pump primed itself and i turned the key the final click, the engine fired into life! It made my day, i thought i was gonna have loads of problems as this car has not run for 2 years but it was running great. its a bit tappy but fingers crossed it should clear with a good run (also Found that out in the search.lol). Just gotta do the brakes before i can take it out for a spin.

I bought a oil cooler from spiky, all good but the cooler pipes weren't long enough to have it where i wanted it, so got in touch with a company on e-bay and had 2 40inch pipes made and they fit perfect I modified the bumper and mounted the oil cooler to it giving plenty of room for the fans.





I'll probily squeeze some mesh inbetween to help protect it from stones etc.

Little update for now, I had some rear lights from simon, i think they've made a massive difference to the rear of the car.

one of each,


The new pair,


I have loads more bits, not had time to clear the car out and take pics, it's like a mobile shed atm.

Looking much better mate

been a while so i thought i'd do a bit of an update. I've been waiting for the nice weather so i could give it a good clean.

managed to get hold of a bit of a cage, it's not perfect but it'll do until i can afford a proper one.



then it was off on my first track day, only got a few pics of my dads mobile as my camera s**t itself and wouldn't work.







As you can see i had to borrow some 14's for the rear as my rear tyres were crap in the wet. The car looked like a scrapper but it went all day without any problems which i was very pleased with.

First thing on the to-do list after the track day was wheels and tyres. I didnt have a clue what tyres to spend my money on but i managed to get a part worn set of prada's on cyclones for £100 and then remembered my rallye had some almost new toyo t1r's, (It wont be needing them if its going back to standard spec). so i cleaned up a set of 15x7.5j with an et16 wheels that i had and repainted them white and put the toyos on them. Also pinched a set of roller bearing wishbones off the rallye to help the cause And a proper 6 rear bumper makes it all colour coded.









Then it had some polish, it's usually lucky to see rain water but i went all out and got the super resin polish out. made a massive difference and really made the diablo paint shine properly again.



Then added some graphics to hide some of the battle scars and make it look a bit more presentable. I think it came up pretty well. a few more are needed mind.







Gave all 3 of my 306's a quick clean as the weather is never good enough to get them all together.

So... second track day at Llandow. Armed with T1R's, some roller bearing wishbones, a shorter number plate to allow more air to the oil cooler and more go-faster stickers to cover the rough patches, i took to the track again. What a MASSIVE difference! Mainly i think due to the tyres, but the car was planted. never once did the back end try to let go, it was spot on. I passed loads more cars than on the first outing and the car performed brilliantly all day. Only problem was a split cv boot and I scratched a wheel on the trailer taking it home. The only incident on the track was very ambitious overtake on a Mk1 golf that I was quicker than around the track but evenly matched for speed on the straight so struggled to get past. Anyway, very late braking into the bus stop and I ended up going straight onto the grass, to make it worse the camera man was there to catch it all. Enjoy,













Next plans, currently buying a lightweight flywheel and some piper cams off bigbadbowen. Hopefully get another track day in October so the flywheel will go in for that. Also i'm re-working a spare head which will have the cams put into it, then a remap, that'll be closer to Christmas tho. Also plan to move the battery inside the car, fit a BMC air filter I have kicking about and maybe a bit more weight loss for me and the car.
