Building a new race car
Thanks to Luke at Enhanced Performance for being busy over Christmas building this up. Had a few rusty holes patched up and lots of blue paint on its underside. Will be a racecar by March. Just need to put some more money into bits and pieces. Loom is done, diff, box, prop are reconned and fitted. Rear beam is on solid poly bushes and powdercoated. Gaz Gold coilovers are on. Brake master cylinders and lines are in. Engine will go in soon with small alternator, new rad and hoses, T3 turbo with restrictor. Need fuel tank, some fittings and it shouldn't be too long til we can test.

Wedgewood blue is a good description. I've been calling it gay sailor boy blue and biddy blue.

Yellow shell was old, battered, had a bolt in cage and needed a lot. The new shell is a good base for a proper race car.
And yes, standard rear beam because the regulations for my series say I cannot modify the suspension pick-up points. Beam is mounted in rock hard poly mounts.

The club I race in has two series running - one is the pre-94 touring car series that I race in, the other is a production BMW series for E30s 318 and 320s. The BMWs also race in our series as well as their own.

Not very competitive in the yellow Sierra but I hope I'll be better in the blue car as it'll be better in some ways and the suspension set-up should now be about right. I still need to learn to drive properly

How much are the race fees? I'm committed to TTRS this year but always interested in a new series. I guess if it's through the CTCRC it'll be expensive.
