Right not been on for a while but I have been enjoying some family time as the car is now up and about!
Took it to a local cruise the other night, haven't been to a"cruise" I about 15 years but it turned out to be a laugh.
The car was a hit!
As you can see, can't even see it for the crowds
And the best bit of the night........ Whipping a wannabe on the way home, don't think the boy knew what hit him!

Looking for a decent box and diffs now, it's going to Will Pedley after Cumbria for a week to have some tinkering too. Once the box is sourced I am going for more power.

Not sure mate, getting the fuelling sorted when it goes down to will and we are sticking it on the rollers so will find out then. It did do 383bhp before so it will be interesting to find out now.

Got myself a new addition to the fleet!
Had the car cleaned up with the help from Rab aka (shine and show) in glasgow
Rab polished the glass for me as there was still some overspray on them from the first guy!
One of my favourites!
I got some new lights as my ones that I had cleaned up andpainted were looking a bit old already!
It would be wrong not to clean once they were out! Thebefore….
Old and new
Tomorrow do the other side and start on the underside! Ohjoys!

That is exactly how I'd have a series 1 , absolutely superb car!
I'm curious to how it drives with that inlet on it at that spec, heard good and bad about them just wandered what your opinion is

Before when I had it in the saph it was really good, power delivery was fantastic, on this it still hasn't been set up properly, will is doing it this week. I can't wait! Once that's done it should be back to silly speeds

Cheers guys,
I honestly don't think that I need bigger brakes, these ones are mental! Remember this thing doesn't weigh as much as a saph and it does really well already.
Cleaned up behind and stuck the new lights in
Now to get under it!

Got up nice and early for Cumbria, met the others
Drove down in the dry! The others f**ked off sharpish and left me and Dalsy!
Allys escos.
Dalsys new focus, and the others!
Got to meet up with some mates and finally see Wills 500!
Then we drove to Will Pedleys so that he can work his magic!
I really need to stop talking to him! Think I have now decided to get a cut off switch, fire supression system, more power, decent gearbox and diffs. And i want to change the fuel system!

Thanks guys
I got a pretty good offer recently and knocked it back, it was pretty close to considering though and I think I want to buy daves focus time attack car?!?!? Never say never as they say.
I was late Carlo, Ali from MJ racing took the car for me in the morning as I got married the day before! Will catch up sometime, you going to Scottish car show or national day?
