If Percy was a GT2 there is NO DOUBT at all in any way shape or form that I would have had a HUGE accident....
They dont call them widowmakers for nothing!
As Chris Harris says... 'They are SPASTICALLY difficult to drive!'

I have to agree with you mate that looks the bollocks!! Do you not think it will clash with the red interior when it's roofs down?
Also who ever is the slower at the autodrome overall pays for the evening out that night!! You better get your foot down for what I have planned

New brakes arrived. Only Wilwoods but should do the job. Bigger than we thought actually
fronts and rears
rears going on already
built in handbrake doofloopy
New rear shocks to match the Protec fronts arrived to. Onoy built the day before to our spec! coool company!
to replace these old Spax ones... which to be fair were still working really well! I just wanted to be bufty!
and the Protec ones have Alloy bodies and so save some more weight!

Shocks worked fine. They still adjust fine from bouncy soft all the way through to rock hard as well
Slimboy steve has bought the old brakes already as well

No mate. I was going to use them... but Stu said to go with these! Polymatrix 'A's
They love to get hotter than the sun apparently!
You can also see the new steering rack in the background

Its a LOT of work to take them off as the tank has to come out, which means the boot box out, all the carbon rear paneling out, Roll bar uprights off etc.
Going to replace all the rose joints though on the outer arms that joing the uprights.

It would have been nice. me and stu talked about it this morning actually... we came to the conclusion to leave it as you can't see them and its a MASSIVE pain in the ass job. I'm having all new Rose joints on the rear suspension so it will all work spot on. Just wont look that good!

Yep, and one of them is MY shiny new custom tubular exhaust manifold so I can finally fit the GT30 and external wastegate on!
We have an excellent Goods In clerk working at my house this week!

Based on our conversation last night mate ive fitted the new engine management system to suit you driving style. Its way easier to fit and map that the Weber you had on there.
You now have no pedals either to worry about, just a single switch on the dash. Switch it up for full throttle and down for full brakes. As you drive at nothing but these, it seemed an expensive waste to have all the fancy ECU and closed loop stuff on there. Probably saved some weight too!

Also interested to hear how the polymatrix pads perform as Ive heard some very mixed reports.
LMAO at the throttle/brake switch
