I don't even think this works at all on usb adapters from what I've read - it's a Willem programmer... Was old fashioned when I got it then: Not even sure it runs on anything after win xp Yes I'm familiar. Eek. When your ready I will do my best to assist you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiNK43 Posted January 24, 2021 Author Share Posted January 24, 2021 Here's a random picture for sake of it. Missing driving tbh, could do with a blow out. May have just done a deal for another old rusty rover to convert into an proper track car with My son. Should be fun. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 You're like me Jake, get bored not being able to drive them so just post a photo lol. I cant even remember the last time I drove DD, was ages ago! Looking forward to the Rover track car build if you get it mate. Would have loved to have done this with my Dad back in the day but things were tight money wise back in them days, so had to make do watching/helping him fix his own mk1 escort and Hillman Avengers lol. Good times though! Great thing to do with your son mate, and he'll not only love doing it just now but will appreciate it years down the line 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted January 25, 2021 Author Share Posted January 25, 2021 Yeah should be fun. Not sure what avenue to take with it. K swap or turbo the engine that's in there. Hmm. Needs to be done on a sensible budget. And doesn't necessarily need to be reliable. Can break on track. And fix it up again part of the fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Something I always fancied doing but never got around to it! Be an interesting build to watch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Any sneaky pics of the track rat yet? Sounds like a well cool way to spend some time with your lad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted January 26, 2021 Author Share Posted January 26, 2021 Belonged to Krzys's Mrs. Failed it MOT because it's the light weight version with holes in its sills and rear arches. As I was looking for cheap motor as a project I asked of I could buy it rather than it go to the scrappy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted January 26, 2021 Author Share Posted January 26, 2021 Gonna have a look at this welding before anything else. Then I think I've decided it's gonna have a k20 in it. Possibly the 160hp variant from the civic type s and accord. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 That would be interesting - the k20 in the wife's old accord tourer was good, but just felt lacking for that big beast (especially when full of camping gear and roof box), would be much better suited to this though. 9 hours ago, KiNK43 said: Failed it MOT because it's the light weight version with holes in its sills and rear arches.
