    The only additions since have been some stickers. I have got the vinyls to replicate the original touring car livery but I haven't put them on yet except for a couple of bits:





    That's where I am at the moment

    Plently more to do, still a work in progress... I will update this as it progresses

    sorry mate,
    I was just reading back through the thread with the thought of updating this tomorrow, when i spotted your questions??

    as for road legal..........no expert but:

    no screen wash jets or bottle
    no number plates
    no number plate lights
    no cat
    no side lights
    no full beam
    no horn
    no airbags( not sure on that 1?)

    these are a few i can think of.........lol

    and weight, well to comply with the damn regs, I am allowed to run the car at its original kerb weight(as per carfoilio.com) which is 1450Kg, with myself in all my race gear, minus 5%.

    to clear that up... the car and me in race trim=1375KG.

    I can go lighter and add ballast etc, but at this stage, just keen to get out there and see whats what.

    more pics very soon

    when it was first stripped out, using a corner weight gauge,
    we estimated it was 1200kg,

    but with the seat,dash, cage and a layer or two of paint, I really
    dont know where it is now.

    I have been on lates this week,so have managed a couple of bits.

    rear anti-roll bar





    I think the front anti-roll bar might need the use of a proper hoist, which I dont have, so gonna have to pay someone for that job I think?

    Nearly got the btcc look, just need to get the arse down, but the rears are not height adjustable, a bit of butchery required me thinks?

    i'd forgot about the questions myself lol. Only electrical stuff them really keeping it off the road. Impressed with the weight considering you've got a rollcage etc

    keep us posted

    need a chat with you about a single wiper
    i'm desperate for one to give it that touring car look and the reduced drag will benefit also.

    I tried using the rear wiper mech of an estate but it goes too far round, a true 180, so now i have pretty much tried everything with all the bits i have, but still cant get it from side to side without going off the screen or not going far enough, very frustrating

    shift light works great thanks to you.
    the link you sent i cant access! doh!

    but i was reading your thread on here about single wipers.

    am i right in thinking its the link from the motor to the main bar which determines how far the wiper goes???

    bought it off ebay for £400. Sold it to a bloke with a black 854R, he did post a couple of times on "the darkside" but not seen him about for a few years now (he didn't even post any pics of it fitted)
