We've got some big strong men coming in next week to upgrade our rolling road in the hope that it'll hold up under the power of your car next month

[Turboboy67]

No need James, not this year anyway

My power to weight ratio is getting better every week though

[heeman10]

So we're going to stay on the economical map for this year are we, then crank up to the 1,200bhp+ map for next season? Wise..just enough time to scrub those tires in

[j7aoc]

What about theses? http://offer.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dl ... 0227901060

[Turboboy67]

Yeah seen those thanks fella, I think I will get some front and rears made eventually

So not as big an update as I had hoped for, but anyway more progress

Carbon roof has been promised to us for this week,

Private plate paper work should be with me this week as they have cashed the cheque over a week ago

Super Ts are on and look good

New lower arms fitted today prooved to be a pain but I got there in the end.

I'm buying Luke's Pro-Alloy fuel cell so that should be fitted in place
hopefully before Combe in April

Got my blue Willans harnesses now and they look so much better than the red ones

Launch control is waiting to go on as well

few pictures from today, managed to drive the car to the local beauty spot,











Oh and one of my plate

[luca]

Those wheels look amzing mate in that colour never been a great fan of them but THEY ARE WICKED

Definalty keep thm that colour too.

Ride height looks spot on to mate, another productive weekend, we can swap the fuel cell over when i deliver the roof or something next week.

[MattPym]

[FRSJON]

[Sphinx]

Fair play mate! That does look 'ard! Will you be bringing it tomorrow?

[rs-tom]

[Turboboy67]

Thanks guys, I had to chop the arches a fair bit to get the wheels to fit and not foul at that height

Luke, I'm starting to get the look I'm after on it mate

Jon, I just won a set of smoked lights off of e-bay which I will be fitting, If I don't like the look of them I will get some Euros

Spinx, Yeah car is coming along tomorrow

Tom, I straight swapped the harnesses fella and
local company powdercoated the wheels for £35 each.

Still got the small battery/ front polycarbs to fit, which I will be hopefully doing next week.

they look spot on, wish I put 195's on my 7x16's now instead of 205's (therefore I can get it lower on some coilovers too )

[McGoo 69]

[BALBOA RS]

Looking good Shaun, any news on the metro project yet?

Car starting to come together very nicely & number plate is

Local beauty spot?! I've never seen one of those before

Should have got some pics at the airfield

[Turboboy67]

Cheers guys

Ross, Metro project is now painted , I will post pictures up in the week mate,

[BALBOA RS]

btw Its not my project but one going on in my Close

Ooh, what colour? Did HeShe paint it by him/herself? Or have you just bought a garage round the corner as a ruse?!

[Turboboy67]

Same colour scheme as the Scimiter mate

I will post it up in gen disc this week so everybody can have a look

Well today I have mainly grinding my arches out further so the tyres don't rub off the 16s

After driving the car for 100 odd miles yesterday, I knew I had to take more of them out
Now I'm fairly confident they won't rub, took front arch liners out and trimmed them, very little rust on the inner arches which was good news.
Took rear bumper off and again very little corrosion was present,
After the fuel tank is removed she will be treated to a very thorough de-rust and Waxoyl

Plans for later this year will include full respray in Pacifica (less carbon roof & bonnet )

[luca]

MMMMMMmmmmmmmmm respray will look awesome mate as looks stunning now..

well impressed yesterday and you have built it soooo quickly.

[Turboboy67]

Cheers mate, good to see you again yesterday

just under 4 months atm, which isn't bad really, I wish I could go full time on it

Pacifica is stunning when polished up lost at least another 2kg today

I cleared out the mud from bottom of the front wings

[Brammer]

Shaun that looks the absolute danglers mate, loving the wide track at the front can't wait to see this fly round the track

I was looking at similar plate for the cossie D20 UFO for £440

[snakeyjake]

That looks the b***ocks mate. Hope to see it this week at work . Cant wait to see it flying around on track.

[hb69]
