Prob a CS, if thats the correct name for it, the "half normal M3, half CSL", so available in manual.
Im probably wrong though, but I remember the gripe Mike had was that the CSL wasnt manual.

Fiecos Dan · 17-02-2010, 07:13 PM

Good to see things moving on.

What times do you do around Snett Mike? and what times do the time attack boys do it in?

On my 2nd trackday on my Yamaha 99 R6 i my best was 1:22.0 (max speed 138mph) on my GPS timer, in dry condition, with usual wind.

My old man does 1:15's on his 07 R1 at approx 158mph.

Rear glass and rubbers back on:

Rear lights refitted and connected up

.

Ariel and sunroof all refitted:

Engine ancilleries all refitted and connected:

All the carpet inside has now been removed, along with the centre console for a full valet and to allow me to fit some extra sound deading around the gearbox in readiness for the Ludde dog 'box

Yes, you can see it on the floor in front of the car, as it now needs to be taken to the powder coaters

Great idea to have bolt on wings so that you can swap between WRC and standard factory look. I'll be interested to see how the WRC panels look in terms of gaps.

They look perfect, as this is what has been taking me so long

.

Howver, this is what I had to do to the wings to get the panel gaps right from this:

To this

(I was having kittens, but it all fits perfectly, and the wings are not under any tension like they were

):

T3ORA · 04-04-2010, 06:44 PM

can i ask why the change

Great job on those wings - no wonder you were having kittens, I would be too if I had to chop the wings

I'm not changing

. I have done it so the car can be swapped from the standard look to the WRC look in around an hour. I have two sets of front wings (one pair standard, and one pair WRC), two tailgates (one standard and one WRC) and three bonnets (one standard, one carbon and one with extra vents stamped in).

Accordingly, I can chop and change to look as I see fit/fancy

.

The WRC / carbon bonnet set-up is mainly for track use (9" wheels and 40kg removed from the car (the rear tailgate has the wiper motor removed and plexiglass fitted)), so in this format it is an RSR if you will

I don't think so, this is just so I can adapt it mildy for track use, it will still be a nice road car, especially the lengths I have gone to make the interior a nice place to be

.

Alcantara roof lining and door cards:

AGAR-COSWORTH · 04-04-2010, 09:16 PM

That interior looks good - a nice change from the norm. Would you mind me asking how much it cost to apply the alcantara please?

Porkie · 04-04-2010, 09:34 PM

wow wow and wow!!!!!!

if you stick an RSR badge on it though...

I WILL punch you!

Porkie · 04-04-2010, 09:35 PM

You do realise that you're now going to get me killed - have you not seen Chain Reaction - that Keaneu Reeves film where they discover the secret of fishion, where engine can run on water - this was classified, Obviously I have to send the hit squad to your house as well

Hello Mike, for starting I love what've done on your car, pretty good job.

I've got some questions to you, what caind of leads are U using on your T25 engine, I have on mine T35 but with four holes on my cam cover

& I wanted to ide them to fit your carbon cover.

Do you have in your shop WRC breather as your car haves.
And can you machining head cover for coil pack conversion.

Keep the best your car is fantastic.

Sorry for my english i'm a bit rusty.

Zzz...Zzz · 06-04-2010, 01:40 PM

Awesome as usual Mike!

Good luck with the 2010 season
