The lightening starts !!

What a great day, stripping out the interior  :)

Started at about 1pm I think, cable tie fix is holding well. Frantic chatting and working out plans and then down to work.

Removing, weighing and then enjoying.

And now a nice animation of all the bits that came out.

It was a joke

Team Sinus was a joke. A bad joke. A dad joke. We need a better name. A name that needs no explanation or at least where the explanation isn't about allergic rhinitis.

We picked up the 190E and brought it home

Today me and jeremy picked up the 2.6 manual 190e.


Tuesday, in the pub (although actually sober), the three of us randomly decided to buy it, strip it down, sell off what we dont need, and use it as a cheap relatively standard (although very light) trackday weapon.

We picked it up today, met tom, lovely chap, nice to meet you fella.

Lost 1st and 2nd gear on the way home so jeremy nursed the last few miles starting off in 3rd.

After getting it back and jacking it up it was found to be the small clip holding the gearbox shifter rod to the remote shifter. Relatively easy and cheap fix but the merc dealers are closed and we need to drive it.

A trip to homebase and £1.29 later we had a workable short term solution.

Went for a drive and its working fine !!!! Its just until the merc dealers re-open on monday but its actually very firm.

The basic idea is keep it cheap, keep it simple. Strip out anything we dont need to keep the car road legal and capable of taking the three of us to and from the track days

Track pads and fluids, and probably stiffen up the rollbar and hopefully shocks if we can do it cheap enough.

Logging weights, bhp and 0-60 at every stage. Weighed it today and its exactly 1300kg with 1/3 tank of fuel and no drivers.
We just pulled up at the recycling place and looked to the right for the readout. Easy peasy !
