Right, I reckon I've got the clocks thing sussed, so now the next ballache.
Abs or not? Its it worth putting in? The cars gonna be track biased but see more use on the road pissing impreza owners off.
Opinions please

i reckon no abs....if you have ever driven a tvr griffith/chimera 500,you will know that you dont need abs to have very good braking

200 block, GT30 Siemens injectors, 500 cooler, unsure what spec the cams are, ported and polished head, exhaust TBA. Gaz coilovers all round, multipoint cage, anthracite Compo MO's and making the rest up as we go along! Should be good for about 480bhp when its run in and mapped.
Theoretically it should handle very well and go like shit off a shovel when its done

What wiper linkage are you going to use ? LHD one? single wiper conversion or a modded standard one?

We're waiting to see how much of the scuttle is left when the shell comes back before we think of that!! I've got a LHD one just in case though

Hows yours coming along?

I can get decent discount with MCR if you want one

I see you just sold the white one on e-bay , i knew i'd seen it before and now i know why .
it was built for clint by Mark wright at BSW at Brands Hatch in kent in '99 , the axle came from andy middlehursts 1991 BTCC 3dr that he ran n/aspirated . i remember seeing the shell being built and thought it was a good idea, all those years later everyones doing Focus cosworths ,,lol.

That white one belonged to BIG GEOFF H who's building the amparo blue one.
I'd be interested in some more pics of it though and the spec, if Geoff has any or if the new owner comes on here

If the box off JC doesn't turn out, I've told Marco that you'll PM him to discuss the options. Sounds like a Tremec is the way forward
