Ooh slicks:

I went to the track today to see what I was getting myself into:



All comments and advice very welcome thanks for looking

Welcome to the forum!

It's looking good so far. It's already got a 4-branch too?!

 

[Tigerblue67]

Oh yeah I knew I forgot something there's a complete aftermarket exhaust system

 

[cgten]

Just a minute detail lol.

What size engine is in this one?

 

[Tigerblue67]

1300cc but I'm downgrading to the 1000cc engine so I can enter class 1 junior rally. So if anyone wants rid of their cg10 I'm looking for one.

 

[cgten]

I'm sure someone on here is looking for an upgrade to a 1.3.

 

[Tigerblue67]

Yeah my plan is to put the 1ltr engine in and keep the 1.3 and work on it for the next year and when I'm old enough to enter class 3 I'll put the refurbished 1.3 back in

I was working on the car today and I'm getting the impression that nothing on this car has been bolted up tightly for example the seat that is supposed to protect me in the event of an accident was bolted down finger tight and one corner didn't even have a bolt in it!

Also I could use some help with this there is a panel in the floor I think its purpose is to raise the floor and I need to take it out but I'm not sure how there is a nut on the underside but when I try to undo it the whole thing spins and I can't grip the top

any help is greatly appreciated, thanks

Those domed ends, I'd cut a slot in them to fit a thick screw driver so you can undo the nut

 

[Tigerblue67]

I'll give it a go at the minute I can barely fit my feet on the pedals

I'll swap engines with you if you like

 

[Tigerblue67]

Maybe... where are you located just for shipping

Looking good, what championship will you be using it in?
