6) Clock light not working

Was this speedo "clock" or the actual clock?


It's the speedo light that needs to be working, I'm just going to wire an LED bulb in to come on with ignition.

Strange how they fail it for all these daft little bits but they aren't bothered that I smash my head on the roll cage when I go over a bump because I've moved the standard seat closer to the door with my new mounts, ill end up knocking my self out with it!

Can you tell I do health and safety? Haa!

Right then, as the lime lapsed on my last MOT a few weeks past due to my exams so I didn't do a lot to it but the past week or two I've sorted the last few things to make it totally road legal. Biggest pain in the arse was getting all the dash lights and rev counter working which was eventually down to some s**t bulbs, broken connections and had to by-passing the dimmer switch so this left me with a full dash of lights Smile.

Booked it for a MOT near my house whilst I was off work for a bit, and they said a ball joint needed replacing and my back brakes weren't working, so changed the wishbone and eddy helped me bleed the brakes put it back in for a re-test and all was good Big grin so EVENTUALLY I have 12 months MOT! As it was a different test centre that I took it to they also said that if the car has fixed bucket seats it can't be failed for not being adjustable, which was interesting.

Now that I have driven the car I can now say its pretty quick! It also likes to pull me all over the road, oh and I'm booked in for a sprint at teeside autodrome on the May 20th so ill see how it performs, it should be interesting as I've never driven a front wheel drive car on track before.

Anyway, here's a pic with Eddie's cyclones fitted (Eddie cheers for lending them to me, longer than I expected!)-



I don't think they suit the 205 No swapped them for the speedlines



Much betterThumbs up

These will stay on till' I paint my track wheels. Also bought this splitter-



This pic shows the goodies you don't normally get to see and also the freshly painted brake calipers (and padsRazz )



Oh, Also got some Michelin slicks to go on that I got off ChrisD (Cheers fella)

Probly lots of stuff I forgot to mention but that's all for now.

    Got it tax and insured on Friday so been out seeing what it's like to drive ready for the Teeside Sprint tomorrow. I first went out on the Toyo T1Rs which err lacked a bit of grip, some 'sprinted' driving got the fronts brakes locking up regularly and under steer even when slowly turning into the corner aswell as under steering out of corners when a little tiny wee bit of throttle is applied to try and over come that I ended up with some heart stopping drifts! I was going to use these tyres for the sprint but I quickly changed my mind and swapped them for my track wheels and Yokohama A048s which are in a totally different league! I must admit it now handles (dare I say it) as well as my old Evo 8!!! As long as there is no water on the ground...

    Can't wait to get on a trackday and try out the Michelin slicks. If all goes well tomorrow I'll book croft for Saturday.

    Here's some pics:

    Teesside sprint!



    Had a noisy hour long drive down to the Teesside Autodrome this morning, I was hoping for nice sunny weather but that was not to be but I decided to leave the A048s on and hope it wouldn't get worse. That didn't work! It was misty and drizzling all day so it was just a case of getting used to the conditions and grip levels. As it was my first sprint I didn't know what to expect, new car, new track and I've never been timed doing anything in a car before so driving up to the start line for the first practice run (even tho its not timed) the butterflys are flying and I'm fiddling with anything I can because of the nerves. Glad I decided not to film my practice runs because the first are always the worst, lucky I didn't because of my off roading on the first corner.........and chicane.

    After the two practice runs the timed runs start, here's run one with a time of 53.84 - not a bad time bit not a good time either.

    RUN ONE VIDEO!!

    Second run getting faster - 52.34

    RUN TWO VIDEO!!

    Third run even better - 52.13

    RUN THREE VIDEO!!

    Forth timed run the same - 52.13

    RUN FOUR VIDEO!!

    Fifth didn't go well an I got back in the 53s and my battery ran out on my phone so lost that video.

    The way the sprint was set up means the timing was written on spread sheets against a car number, so no make or model which means hunting down which cars your faster than. It was good to see how we'll I did against similar cars and I'm very pleased with my times a lot of times on the board were 54 and 55s.

    After the timed runs they let us out again and I got in about 4 other runs to improve but without being timed, this allowed me to try new wider lines and later braking. I then tried to get in one last run in I hit the Kurb on the chicane and it popped and spluttered so now only running on two or three cylinders. Tried to fix it but with limited tools and everyone packing up a had to drive it home nice and slowly.

    Still had a smile on my face driving home after a good day even though it was a 50mph all the way and no idle!

    'Mad Mark' Watson turned up to demonstrate the rally cross car







    Their was also a show n shine on somewhere but I'm not interested in all that so no pics.


    (Ill edit this post as and when my vids upload!)

    That run 2 looks slow a f**k but it was the quickest of the timed runs, when I pushed on it just ends up sloppy and times are slower. Should have the rest of the vids up in a few hours lol
