in need of tweaking as they say. them nylon bushes supposed to be good, so will see how it goes.

my mate oldskool jim was leaning on the roof of my car before. the vibration of the engine running with them solid mounts is quite strange apparantly. when ticking over it makes the keys jingle in the ignition. solid indeed.

i felt today the car was goiing better than it has done. although it still spins too much, it did seem like it was easier to control a bit more. although i didnt get any quicker times as couldnt run due to lack of gears, it still felt like it has the potential to go faster than it does. im still happy with it anyway.

nylon gearlinkage bushes. should take up the rediculous amount of free play it has now and give me back reverse and 1st gear. maybe fit them tonight or tomorrow as need someone to help hold the gear stick for ghetto gear set ups.

You're too close so it won't focus. Not that people give a shit, this project is not about photography! How long have you been building it?

aye, been reading a project on migweb last year. seems right up my street. lack of space kinda defeats the object of doing it though so will never happen. probably just sell the corsa shortly and give up on projects.
