So I collected my number plates today, fitted them on the car and got about 2 hours of driving in it locally - god I love this car ! The way it goes around corners, the noise in second gear WAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGHHHHH ! Or any gear for that matter.
I got pulled over by the police after a quick couple of bends down my road - they liked the car and did mention that they struggled to catch up but pulled me over as the plates are still registered to my Volvo - not a model they had seen !
After explaining that I got it transfered today (The system they access takes a few days to swap over) they apologised and agreed if they had a 5 litre they would have some fun in it, "Sorry to have bothered you sir" ! makes a bloody change ! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/driving.gif[/img]

I have just ordered a Tornado Kit and wanted to know if you had a list of items that you might have not chosen to get off them to keep costs down, suspension, hubs, etc. I need to keep the cost down. Any advice appreciated. I am putting in a 302 ford (need to find a good cheap supplier in either usa or uk and also I need to find the best place to get the correct gearbox at the right price.

Thanks

Stuart,
I don't want to hijack Paul's thread, but I have a fully rebuilt Renault 21 Turbo transaxle for sale and have e-mailed you.

Steve Kulper · 02-08-06, 05:55 PM

Paul,
The car is looking great, what are the front indicators off?

Thanks Steve

Paul W · 02-08-06, 06:36 PM

Hi Stuart,
Send me a pm letting me know what you've ordered.

Paul W · 02-12-06, 06:34 PM

Hi Steve - I can't remember where I got the indicators from - must have been Stoneleigh a year and a half back, not sure.

Paul,

What colour is it? It looks black?

Simon

Paul W · 03-13-06, 07:22 AM

Yes it's black , non metallic - just going to have silver cill stripes I think.

Still got Ians wheels on - need to order mine as the trigo pin drives have arrived, but looking virtually complete. A few mods still to do, change the top harness mount to allow for 5 point harnesses replace a gearbox driveshaft oil seal and set the shocks rate a bit better. I've got 700 miles on the clock now and loving the car, I can't get used to the power though you can spin the wheels in forth !
