looking good dude cant wait to see it back at the shows

Come on.........get it finished........remember i aint getting any younger..........
Should be awesome Tony..........should stick it to almost everything on the road mate......

WOW !!!! Tony
Its looking awesome, what clutch will you use, is the stock clutch strong enough ??

Thanks tom.

I've gone for a Twin Plate Exedy Clutch + lightweight Flywheel (Identical to the Cusco Clutch that Mr G has) which is good for about 750ft lbs of torque.

A stock clutch is good for about 300-350bhp but as i am aiming a little more than that , went for the above mentioned one, so i know if i give it a bit of stick it'll cope fine. Following toyota's example with over engineering .

That is very true Mr G, but don't Fear, i'll help with your zimmer frame when your getting in and out of the car.

Nice clutch.
I kind of feel i want to be there when you fire her up
Wont be able to wait 'till next season so stick a vid up on youtube when its done.

I'll probably have to drive it for him Tom.........(He'll only break it,...never let him tighten or undo anything)...........that's for the Zimmer frame quip...........

That would be a cool race down the santa pod strip, Tonys beast against the techno vikings charriot, both im guessing with launch control engaged.
Just think Tony after years of abuse (numpty etc) you get to level the score
Mind you i think the Techno viking might let you win because i reckon his got a bit of a soft spot for you deep down

Oh yes....... launch control will be activated


Dave... Thanks mate. I put alot of time and effort into getting the car to how it looks now (and to be fair it was'nt bad before!). Cleaning / painting / wax oil'ing the underside. Pretty much every bush has been replaced. Engine bay was de-greased / cleaned. i spent about 4 hours just cleaning the steering rack!.

New Brake lines through out (Replaced every single line)

The brakes alone took myself and steve ages to get right. Custom this..... Machine that. Hours of my time were taken up getting the calipers to sit right. I'm pretty sure that it's the first ST185 to have the full ST205 Brake converstion. People have done the rear conversions loads of times..... Some have used the front calipers but different discs (Ie inferior Scooby discs or audi tt discs)

I just hope that it will be worth it in the end.

\"I just hope that it will be worth it in the end.\"

TBH mate i have had a load of work done to mine as you know but you have been hands on with yours which i think makes a big difference in satisfaction terms. I would have loved the time knowledge & confidence to have been able to of done the work myself.

I think Captain Pugwash (Tony),in the \"Black Pig*....would destroy my old \"Viking Chariot\"......the only hope i have is if he engages \"clump foot\",instead of launch control........what a noise it would be though,with both of us popping flames.......Think the \"Black Pig\" will surprise a lot of people.......it's going to be monsta........awesome......will def take some scalps.........

More will follow.....
