Cheers fellas 
Only just got it running after 6 months off the road with all new parts etc... so still needs a few things sorted but feels soooo good to drive the car after stripping EVERYTHING down and building it back up again.
Not sure on stripes myself, thinking of redoing them silver, with black/silver number plates and sort out the front wheels with some Toyo R888 to match the rears. See how it goes though, just nice to have it running again.

lol That would make sense They were for a Caterham but started going a bit mad with the carbon/lightweight theme after being inspired by Stu Collins' ERST at Central Day last year.
Carbon doorcards and rear panelling was next for the interior ideally

2 questions 
1, what fuel rail setup is that
2, do you think a black top would be much more trouble to fit with a turbo straped on like that
verry good!! i have been thinking of doing the same thing for a while between me and my brother
have you gone for the decomp route or gone all out rods pistons etc..?

The black top woouldnt be any more trouble to fit from what i understand about that myth
I did have to move the rad forward slightly for the T34 but with the vibratechnics mounts doesnt seem to have any clearance issues.
Its got C20LET pistons, but standard rods with ARP bolts. Which is ample for the spec and power i wanted really
Make one mate, they are quality little cars!

Cheers fellas 
I like the rear lights, different to everything else, clears looked too 'non-standard' and out of place. Will inga few more coats to get them properly red though.
Still on running in map so cant take it on full boost yet but should be good for 280+ which is more than enough for a shell as light as this!
The seats weigh about 2kg each by the way, so overall weight of the car has to be quite low giving a VERY good power to weight ratio
By the way anyone fancy doing me a proper sig now i finally got some pics? Cheers people
