Nothing new mate, it really doesn't need much more, just a few tweaks to do.
Rear shocks inserts are too short so they need changing shortly for longer ones.
Fuel cell is also being revised again with an increase in the internal collector size. Otherwise its ready to go again

cool man
I need to revise my mahoosive tank too
Great on long road trips, but just a little nervous if it gets a rear shunt.
You coming to Snetterton for a few beers man? Don't have to bring the skip if you don't want to

Pulled the car out to get it warmed up for this year.
Decided to use it a little on the road this year too so its off for MOT soon and then a track day I think.
Previous to this I had a few issues with the fuel cell with the internal collector being a tad too small.
A new tank was bought from PRO ALLOY who yet again did a fantastic job.
The tank used to have the filler tray on top which was a right arse to fill up with a 20litre jerry can. Leaning in was crippling!
With the new tank I deiced to fit a filler neck and mount so you can flip the tailgate up and fill from the comfort of the outside with no back breaking bending.
Little bit of gloss black paint applied and ready to install.
Job done and ready to use.

Mu jugs are blue
Not used it yet though
Question - how do petrol stations stand with these?
Are they marked on the side to say for fuel? Ive not checked.
Last time I took a 20litre petrol jerry can to fill up the Polish douche bag refused to let me fill them.

I think the 'legal' limit is 5 or 10 litres, I put 40 litres of Super in and the guy didn't care
Other option is Pay @ Pump

Nothing major at all mate, it just needs to be used.
Yes Dr carbon is knocking up another carbon centre panel for my dash.
Fitting some led lights in and couldn't fit them in the old one as i put the battery cut off in a stupid place - right in the middle. There was no room left for these new lights then.
Roll on Central day then its your year!
