306 Rallye

[Teej]

I've picked up a few more shiny bits while the car has been away. Most of it has come from people on here and the 6 forums (dirty homeless peasants!). The exhaust was shot, so that has been replaced with a Mongoose system (from retropug). I also stumbled on a fancy inlet manifold and throttle body, and have had the big end bearings and rod bolts uprated.

The rest of the acquisitions I've termed the "handling package":

Baker BM adjustable top mounts:




Baker BM engine mounts, and wishbones with some Rich W bits on:




Solid rear beam mounts:




What is purported to be a Mk1 Xsara VTS steering rack:




I've also picked up some gear rods from Miles, and a Compbrake quickshift. Still likely to be a few weeks before it's back, as I throw this extra stuff at the garage folks.

New race suit:


Shiny helmet: (Bell GT5-Pro, with the visor swapped for a touring peak - this feels so much better than the OMP I had before)


I took a peek at the running total spreadsheet, and had a bit of a minor meltdown, but I've hit the limit of what I can change within the pre-2005 regs now. I have to stick with this car. I can't sell it cos my missus has just reminded me that it's her name on the V5 and not mine!
