Blimey, i was just wondering how you were getting on and saw this post.
Sh1t the bed, silverware already, top effort by a top man
I honestly don't know how you find the time and effort to work, build a car and satisfy the wife
No wonder my cars not finished, i prefer a warm bed to a cold garage.
Very very pleased for you Tony
, difficult guy to deal with !

trying to get my mate to convert his thunder saloon back to standard so he can race it,

new season approaches...
A few things i want o sort out for this year.
The front bumper has an arc in the middle that makes it look like the car is sitting really high , im going to sort that out but rather than use this...
ive decided to make . modify the carbon Kevlar bumper ive been keeping as a spare .Ive trimmed a 12mm Marine ply plank to fit under the lower lip and fastened through with allen bolts that pick up on the brackets for the "Adjusters " .
The plank will be trimmed when i remove it later today for Cuprinolling , dont want dry rot creeping in ,lol . The adjustment for the lower blade is done on a pair of stainless steel lightweight yachting rods, left and right hand threaded so they wind out easier.
So for that all important downforce on track , the front of the car will now be lower and look the business too . Lee , expect a call ref bumper irons !
Then , the old rally Bilstein crap rear shox are going to be replaced with Penske triple adjustable dampers, 3" of total travel and 4"long springs should do the job properly .
More later !

Lee, Hello mate ,i'll bell you in the morning now i have the measurements !
First , fit a piddly little headlight for extra air flow to the filter and intercooler ....
thenmake a cold air box for the base of the bumper to direct airflow through the rad and intercooler ..
Then attempt the first fit up of the new bumper , diablo you shoud pay attention to this bit !!
The distance to the buper is now 200mm from the last hole in the chassis for the bumper iron , so pick up the phone and call Lee to make some new alloy ones ..
