Well no-one else seems to want to say it and I can't help myself. It goes at the opposite end to the cat, obviously

After a winter upgrade I have lots of parts for sale, need the garage space and the funds to pay for upgrades :-) All parts located in Glasgow but may be able to find somebody to transport down to Stoneleigh, otherwise P&P will be at cost.

liking that - Looking good

Only two weeks late, but today I finally finished the car, ready for The Big Blat 2015 If only the kids could keep Mrs Q busy, so she won't notice me sneaking out of the house for a little blast on Mothering Sunday

Judging by recent years I think kit cars and old engines will outlast the EU in its present form

Let me know when your at Chaddy Dave, i'll pop round, it's only 5 mins from me.

All other things being equally (but they are probably not) a new Zetec @ £750 plus a new BGH gearbox @ £1300 won't be far off the net cost of the Honda if you get it by breaking a crashed/damaged car.

Must be an Alsation joke some where just to make Marcus feel at home. Just to remind everyone he was attacked in France by Alsation and it legged it with his walkie talkie that he was holding. Can you just imagine it, broad yorkshire twang shouting at a French dog, gimmi radio back. lol

Time to post a heart warmer..... My VDO Speedometer was having moments of.......erm... 'being a tad vague' sometimes it was lucid enough to let me know what warp factor was engaged but I just don't want that conversation with the plod ... So..... I rang the factory and...... was told they were made to order. Any one of you that's met me will know that I'm a born cynic..... even if that model has been discontinued there must be a like for like-ish replacement..... after all VDO are a huge company! Let the hunt for a replacement begin..... I was having visions of a new dashboard and hours of fun when good old Aunty Google finds a place called ETB Instruments in Southend.... I thought to myself "I'll ring them and see if they can repair mine....." Here's the killer, "Got those in stock sir, sell em all the time....would you like it programmed with your calibration and mileage sir " and "could you accept delivery tomorrow sir", "sorry no says I, I'm at work"...... "oh no problem sir we can deliver to your work address".... Awesome..... superb..... slick as..... Not enough nice words for the superb service.... THANK YOU ETB Instruments of Southend on Sea, Oh yeah and here's the killer bit that warmed me all over CHANGE OUT OF £200. Nem.................

Haha just had the conversation with the wife, ended with "well if you enjoy building so much, just get another when this one is finished... " Oh dear...

Depending upon your pocket depth, there are new ones to be had for less than 5k http://www.nengun.com/spoon/honda-s2000-new-engine

I started looking at engines. .& brought a whole car!

Honestly if I started again it would be s2000. Already secretly planning my next build and guess what? S2000. Just don't tell the wife!

I think both Marks and Pete's are an excellent solution. I wondered if a slight tweak to both would make it even more effective. How about if the flat section like on Marks above returned forwards again over the top of the chassis rail and then was secured with a spacer to the bottom of the same plate as per Petes. This could then be slipped over the front chassis member and secured. Having a design cut from Steel would be easy, powder coating would be easy too. It would just be getting the double bend. Any thoughts? I have had a number of steel parts laser cut locally and also powder coated.

there's a lot of work involved and waste materials'i don't think people realise.
