i need to get the suspension sorted 1st,
i wanna change the top mount setup on the front shocks,
put new caster/camber adjustable pillow ball mounts on, will make a huge difference to body roll and means it can be setup properly
then get a full geometry/cornerweight setup
then i need to learn how to drive it. lol

once ive finished my kitchen i will be getting back on this
atm the origional engine bay has been stripped of all parts so i can lean it all up, paint and tidy up before refitting
then i need to make a new engine loom and convert to wasted spark
i wanna get it done soon, maybe tax it at the start of april when the weather cheers up.

Have done a bit of work recently, it's all up and running again painted the old engine bay repiped the brake resevoirs and a little bit of general tidying up
Should hopefully take it for an mot at the end of the month and tax it at the start of next, will take some pics when the weather cheers up and I can wash it.

heres a few new pics of the car in white, nothing exciting
stripping/prepping it in my garage
how i DROVE to the paint oven
how i DROVE it home
going back together
and nearly done
when putting it back together i also fitted loads of new parts
new headlights,
new numberplate lights
new indicators
polished the plastic windows
cleaned all the rubber trims
filled/smoothed/meshed and vented the bumpers
new door cards
new front grille
polished rear lights
and a little while ago i had it on power engineerings rollers and it made
380bhp, 351lbs/ft trq @ 1.55 bar, thats 320 bhp at the wheels
the fuel pressure was causing issues so could go for more but i think ive sorted that now so should be able to up the boost to 2bar
hopefully be around 440 bhp
will post specs and a graph once ive sorted it and done a new RR session
im getting there.

still needs some finishing off/tidying up
but at least im not embarressed to drive it anymore
it does get warm but, the whole exhaust system and the manifold are wrapped which makes a huge difference, and theres 4 4" holes in the floor with forward facing vents to pull cold air in, then the wholes in the bumper to let it out.
the car funs fin and as its all so well insulated i dont get too hot driving it either.
