That looks awesome! Does Stu do this for a living or is he just seriously skilled?

All looks really well thought out Lee. So much has changed since I last raced round with you & Maria at Donington all those years back (well 2 years back!)

Might need some more power and handling for mine before I go back out on track at the same time as you!



Are you taking it to the Ring this year? Trailer offer still stands, could tow it over and you can do the Fly drive thing.... as long as you take me out in it!

Been busy today earning my trip to the 2010 Abu Dhabi F1!!! Getting the dash sorted. All up and running and talking to the T6 fine as well. Good progress.

Actually, if it was mapped and I bolted the front arches on it could go to Bedford for a shakedown next weekend.

Hazard light and switch wiring a real pain!!!

It gives you a real time indication of exactly how much charge is currently in the Flux Capacitor.



Actually its just a boring Gizmo Boost Controller. A very good unit though I must say. Does what it says on the tin and even Lee managed to program it HIMSELF.

Right. Update time as its pretty much finished now.

New mounts for lap belt section of the harnesses sorted and the interior is pretty much all back in. The dash is pretty much done now bar a tiny bit of wiring.

Water injection all piped and wired up running off the T6 with the flow monitor system.

Fire system 95% done, just needs nozzles fitting.

Wheel studs all replaced to suit the wider track and spacers

Front discs skimmed and refitted

Front Caterham CSR style Aero wings done

Exhaust sorted (shoddy Hayward and Scott) and mounted correctly.

I just need to modify the rear diffuser so the wishbones dont foul on droop, wire in the front wheel speed sensors for the launch/traction, change the cam seals (joy) and then take it for a test drive to see what falls off!!

Oh and check out my new twin radiator and charge cooler setup!!!

Top work from the Pro Alloy boys. Thinking that rose jointed adjustable radiator mounts may be slightly over engineered!!! Love it!
