[spanishfly]

Leroy are you mirrors F1 or GT type?

[Brian_S]

So Ian didn't get to do any detailing this time then? Just proper work! I shall be sure to mention his non-modding commitment next time he's up! lol

[lee303]

no, he did bring some bicuits though, which was nice, and i remember him muttering about wanting to do something to the front bumper involving a machine and some polish, but i thought it best not to delve too deep into what he meantlmao

julio, pretty sure they are formula ones

julio, pretty sure they are formula ones

Leeroy, thank you.

[lee303]

lmao no worries seniour

[lee303]

righty then, well, the 'other nova' has left the garage on its way for an MOT, which gave me time to get mine done for brands on wednesday, primarily meant getting the tracking done, which proved to be a bit of a ball ache thanks to no one having the old school dunlop gauges and me having a low bumper, so one bumper-less trip to hemel this morning saw it done, i was onnly .8mm out by eye though also revealed the rear toe is a touch excessive on the o/s so will sort that tuesday evening
seeing as it was so nice today i even gave it a wash

then just did a bolt check and general once over, fingers crossed the weather holds out till then

[LongLiveTheNova]

Looking forward to report/vids!!!!

[spanishfly]

Looking great mate!
Is there 1 or 4 bolts holding the splitter on? lmao

[lee303]

nah its on 6 quarter turn fasteners, so fairly easy, just winds me up that no one can deal with a car with a fairly low front end, need my own gauges badly!
cannot bloody wait till wednesday!

[thumbs]

look awsome out in the sunshine mate

have fun wednesday, would love to do a track day one day!

[lee303]

cheers, a bit of sun covers a multitude of sinslmao

[Colonel K]

looking sweet man. I agree those old school optical guages are the way forward.

I quite happily kick in some cash on a communal set if I get to use them when I need to

[lee303]

sounds good, i know me an julio were saying the same thing, will let you know when i find a suitable set

[flatout]

is it free to spectate at brands lee? i think it is, if so i may pop along on wednesday for a looksie

[jr@corsasport]

yes flatout it is, i'll be there with a few corsasport members who are on track drinking tea and engageing in banter

[Supermuff]

Greetings! Been following this build for a while now and thought I might as well register and say hello. lmao

Lee have you thought about using good old-fashioned string to track your car? Can be more accurate than all the new fangled laser jobbies if done properly.

Got to say its been a good read, keep up the good work!

[Nova88]

What time are you going to be at bRANDS?? i LIVE 15 MINS AWAY BUT IDN'T REALISE THERE WAS ANYTHING ON! In Greenhithe so be good to see A FEW nOVAS/Corsas having a go.

[spanishfly]

Yeah me and Lee are looking for a setup so we can do our own stuff! So annoying the excuses people make! Or when they tell you, the tracking is straight however the steering wheel needs removing and re positioning!! Er if thats the case the tracking isn't straight! You should never move the steering wheel from original position!

[jr@corsasport]

i'm not going if your gonna be there

thanks for the kind words i really want to make a setup frame that bolts to the car as it goes, then i can make a string 'box' around the car and do it that way, as you say, can be much more accurate, and i'll look like, waaaaaaaay cool in the pitlanelmao
