Small update
Not even sat in the car since FITP or had a day off from work
But plans are coming together for the engine, getting a few internal bits "tweeked"
Only realised today my next track day @ Combe is 2 weeks on Saturday
better get her up in the air over the weekend and check everything underneath
More updates very soon

You and your look-a-likes
Anyways, very small update now I'm here,
sump has now been dispatched to a mate in my local group for a bit of modifying,
who works for Richard Longman and owes me a favour.
Bottom end is going to be fully balanced, head will be modified

rs-tom :how much r they lol
They are costing Luke and me approx £700 each to you a bit cheaper though.
Right update time
No pictures atm as my camera is in Weymouth
Wheels change time again
15" Comp MOs, not sure what colour to do them atm will either be satin black or antracite,
they are currently white but in need of some tlc, not bad for £112 inc. tyres though
They are being shod with a new set of R888 Toyos
I've also bought a Brian James trailer to transport her around on (sorry Luke )
even though shes fully road legal, sooner or later I'm going to break something,
so think its best to start transporting her to track days. again pictures will follow.
Carbon Sparco's
Matty (McGoo 69 ) and I have agreed a price for his seats,
they should be in for Combe a week on Saturday.
Engine wise the car will stay the same now until October time
when shes being taken apart to fit the new engine, gearbox, fuel cell,
new doors, new Carbon bonnet, Cosworth front brake set up + other bits
and if I have the time a new coat of paint for next year.
So as I have said RS Combe is a week on Saturday, I will have my passenger seat in,
if you want a ride round Combe bring a helmet and come and find me

Will post piccies in the week,
but I have some rather nice Carbon seats in now, ask Luke
Thanks to Matty for finally selling them to me
Also my stainless manifold has turned up,
Did a track day @ Combe yesterday and she went well for the 8 sessions we did
But I need more power
Handling is awesome in the dry
I'm upgrading the front brakes to 280mm Cosworth ones and track wheels up to 15" Comp MO's within the next couple of weeks, again pictures will follow
