Hugo, you have mail

Ok guys, looks like crossed wires. I'll remove my original post (there's too much hate going around at the moment!) and be positive by sharing the pictures instead. Apologies for being a diva in my initial message, I must have been having a bad day.

Thanks for responding, it's appreciated.

I have just what you're looking for! A 16" HPC in excellent condition with an unused Toyo T1R tyre.

Not looking for much, based in Surrey.

PM me for info

I have some genuine 8" minilights if you're interested? Could benefit from a refurb, but nothing major. Tyres are shot, but good for a few doughnuts :-)

Looking for a 7 grill to fit a new style nose cone that has 4 holes in the bottom of the nose, as opposed to the older style.

Does anyone have some available please?

From my understanding, you can't use a Kmap ECU on an EU2 without extensive wiring modifications, which doesn't leave many options.

Fantastic spec car, I could be interested if I can sell mine quickly.

Does it have an LSD? If so, what type, please?

Are these still available? I'm after a pair if they are please

Does anyone have any K Series imperial rear wings for sale please?

Paint condition not important as they'll be re-sprayed, but not looking for anything with damage.

Apprecaite your help

Updated with remaining parts

Updated post with latest sold items and a couple of pictures.

I've replied to all messages too.

Hi Bill I replied to your message.

I made a mistake though, it's actually a LHS wing stay.... My mistake. Apologies!

 Multiple parts for sale from my 2003 K series.

 I changed to 5 3/4" lights on lowered brackets:

* Standard headlight brackets. Excellent condition. No corrosion - £40

I changed to mechanical OPG:

* Oil pressure gauge. Fully working when removed - £25

* Front wing stay indicators £5

Brief update.

In the end I decided to go with an AP clutch and TTV lightened flywheel. Also replaced the clutch cable, CRB and associated bolts and fittings too.  I'll have my first drive in it tonight so will let you know how it goes. I didn't realise how tight/stiff my clutch was - I just got used to it, until I felt the new one installed. Revelation!

I'm at Anglesey on the 10th, so want to get some miles in to break the clutch in gently beforehand.

What a brilliant community this is, full of helpful and knowledgeable people. Kudos.

Thanks chaps, sound advice.

Will let you know how I get on.  Have been thinking about doing a full engine upgrade and blueprint, but that will have to wait till winter.

Thanks for the response, appreciated. I had also considered gear ratios, as I top out at 112mph, which I thought was quite slow for track, however, it certainly helps with acceleration and flexibility on the road (I have a 6sp box).

What did you change to, out of interest?

Hi all,

I'm looking for a new clutch for my 1.8k EU2 VVC. Whilst I'm doing that, I'm thinking about changing to a lightened flywheel at the same time.

Has anyone done this before, and which clutch/flywheel combinations would you recommend? I have the standard items currently installed.

It's mainly used for fast road and limited track days (max 5 per year).  I've been thinking about power upgrades, but it's limited with the VVC gubbins and EU2 ECU, so thought a flywheel would be good compromise.

Would appreciate anyone's thoughts or experience.

I'm still struggling to find anything reasonable, which means I might still with the current setup for a while.

If anyone sees anything available, please let me know!

Hi chaps,

I spoke to Fast Road and a couple of things have changed.  They no longer offer group buys, and their prices have gone up....significantly.  Prices as follow:

4-2-1 no cat = £1,500+VAT

4-2-1 with 200 cel cat = £1,680+VAT

Fitting = £300+VAT

High Polish finish = £200+VAT.

So you're looking at £2,400 for a no-cat exhaust system. Not sure how that compares to others, but that put it out of reach for me. With that expense, I might as well just trade up my car, as it certainly wont add to the overall value. 

Will continue my search for a used example!

Ah, I thought as much.....fingers crossed there'll be someone with something available.

Will give a few companies a call and come back with the findings.

Hope you're all safe and enjoying the weather!

Hi all,

Does anyone have an upgraded exhaust for sale, in good condition?

I currently have a 1.8 VVC (EU2) with the standard exhaust, and looking for an upgrade.

Thanks in advance.
