Default Road legal Track 3dr Sierra

Some of you may remember this car as it's been around a bit , staffi , rs-Leigh and Ben M before me.
This is a little diary of what I do with and to the car lol.

This is how it looks now with my 18" group A RL7's . I also removed a few of the smaller stickers as it looked a little busy for my taste.




Last week I fitted a tyre temp and press monitor supplied by Mike, which is great for use at track days. I've also ordered a fibreglass rs500 front bumper which should arrive any day.
Couple of other bits on the shopping list are an amal valve as boost needs sorting and a new diff. The "mig" spec one in there at the moment isn't the best thing I've ever driven on track with .

Little update.

Mounted the tyre pressure and temp gauge in the dash as it was just stuck on before.
Removed and stripped the clock , then cut it to fit the monitor.


This it 99% finished , will do for now until I can get some sort of fibreglass mold sorted .
