My Cordoba Coupe Trackday Car Project

[n_d_fox]

Read the thread from start to finish and i must say, you are indeed LEGEND !!!

Loving the car and the work you have done, got to say that i would have probably given up on it when the first lot of problems occurred so fair play for sticking with it.

Just makes me want a track hack to play about with... will have to make a start on softening up SWMBO

Thanks buddy

Yeah that was me, had black rims on it for that event, fluffed both attempts

 

[vee_dub_modder]

fluffed mine too... will be back bigger, louder faster and with launch control too... and looking at your thread a nice shiny new airbox

I have a trackday at Oulton Park park in Febuary and seeing as the car hasn't moved/run in 3 months it was time to get my finger out.

Got fed up with the smaller bike battery I had fitted for about a year with it going to flat too quickly. decided to revert to a 1.4 sized battery which I aqquired in germany and have mounted it in a GRP battery box in the wheel well. The battery box sits on an a welded angle frame bolted through and a battery hold down clamp over the top.

Tommorow I get jiggy with some ACME strength structural Araldite

Look forward to meeting you an dseeing this at Oulton Park, Stu

 

[Willie]

Stu, how come you still have your sound deadening??
If you remove this it would make up for the increased battery weight

 

[F2 Stu]

I've better things to do with my time than scrape all that tar off

just wait until you do some welding - it's peels off easy once warmed up

Great car. Must be a pleasure to drive. I so envy your trip to nordschailfe (i'e done there hundreds of laps but in a computer simulation hehe) . I hope your friend didn't loose the membership due to you using it.

It's not a big job buddy.
Mine (LCR) took max 2 hours including cleaning the glue off after the tar was removed
