Spesh has currently got first refusal on the rolling shell. Car should be sold by 9.00am tomorrow. Will just be left with a pile of parts!
Pm'd back!
Dont have enough posts to put up a for sale ad! Dont want to upset any moderators.
The car stands me at £4500 at the mo. I already have takers for the seat, harness and steering wheel. Open to any...
Not an update I will enjoy writing or posting after all this progress!
Due to pressure of work and family commitments and losing my workshop facilities, I now have to let this project go to a new...
Don’t seem to be getting much free time at the moment, which is a bit frustrating, as I have quite a few bits for the car waiting to go on!
Managed to get to the workshop this morning due to the...
Thank you very much!
Well, I was until I started delving into the merky world of suspension!
I've spoken to everybody from BC Racing to Ohlins! OMG
Well, its been an eventful few days to say the least.
I have managed to secure some blue injectors, throttle body and IC pipework to suit and a HLM 304 ECU from a forum member (cheers bigrotch).

A few bits have arrived this week for the car. Just had time to drop my new wheels over to the workshop this morning and snap a few quick pics.

Got a day off work this week as a job I was meant to be start was delayed! Got myself straight down to the workshop via B&Q.
Purchased some white hamerite, a set of cheap paint brushes and a couple...
Quick update for tonight. Windscreen is now fitted!
Forgot that I had also recently purchased some V70R front caliper carriers. Got them cleaned up and painted over the weekend too.

Its been a while I know, but managed to get down to the workshop on Saturday after I finished work.
Got a few more jobs finished off inside the car:

Tell me about it! Been working the past few Saturdays which all help pay for the build but mean I have no time to work on the car. Just got back off holiday too, so hope to get some more done this...
Sorry, coming back to this one late again! When are you at Cadwell?
Would be great to see it in full flight.
Not at the moment. Hope to get it weighed once its up and running again.
Maybe 1150kgs???

Just finishing off the interior now.
Got seat, harness, poly windows, extinguisher all in.
Just got to make up the new door cards and get the windscreen fitted and the interior is about there....
Thats the one!
I think a decision has been reached and the car will be remaining relatively standard as far as the enginew spec goes at the minute. That said, I still need a full exhaust, air...
I will be there.........not so sure about the car. My friend and co-builder wants the car fully tested before he will let me put the livery on it! Still not sure on the engine spec, not to mention a...
Turbo tuner, Samco hoses, CDA cold air filter, injectors, fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator, 18t turbo, exhaust system, and engine overhaul (plugs, leads, dizzy cap, rotor arm, cambelt, all fluids...
When is Trax?
Cant see it being ready this year. Once you start adding up how much all these bits cost, it soon mounts up. Priced up the brake system plumbing yesterday and got to £200 without...
So, to sumarise, uprate or die! Have to confess, at this stage I am really torn between building for more power (expensive) or getting the car up and running and out on circuit to see what it...
So did you replace with uprated rods or standard rods?
