Small update:
Littlle update.
Been working pretty hard to get it all boxed off recently.
Engine is back in. All it needs now is a manual adjusting cambelt tensioner and to be timed up. Then it's good to go for mapping.
Oil pressure gauge, oil pressure warning light, shiftlight and stack tacho are in.
New pads due to the old ones being fucked:
Fitted handle for drivers door today:
Also, use some old trumpet socks and pipe to run a cold air feed to each caliper. Was struggling with brake fade last year. Put the socks on the end to stop any stones and that shite, and also because it looks a little better than just pipe. Which was ugly.
Few bits tomorrow - will give the car a proper clean if it's dry.
Also will be changing brake fluid (mix of shíte) for Motul RBF 600.
That should sort my brakes I hope, also need rear shoes changing.

OK little update - should be getting tensioner next week,
Also fitted new launch control button, easy to reach and *sort of* hidden. (green button)
Put another bolt in the carbon plate to keep it in place.
Also put the rear section of the cage in - needs mounts welding in first but seeing how it is for size. Went in fairly easy but the two parts on the side where it bolts to the old seat belt mount fixings is a little off, so will need cutting and rewelding.
Nice and stealthy? Can hardly see it through the rear window :-D
