What sort of o to 60mph times do you hope to achieve, as well as 0 to 100mph and quarter mile times. This thing shud be rapid. Hope your using toyo r888's or similiar to get traction

Not certain on times yet mate, car is predominatly set for track so with those geometry settings in mind 0-60 0-100 and 1/4's are not nescesserly going to be ground breaking. Top speed will be good as will handling for track.

However i have specced the car so that geometry can be changed for different things. So it should hopefully produce some hot times if i can find what works best.
Tyres will be either 888 softs or dunlops.

With regard to rigidity from removing the slam panel, its pretty much the same as it was. The intercooler is mounted to the front panel and the lower part of the front cross member has been strenghened further to compensate.

What have I to report then ………

Well the car has the new bonnet on which matches the carbon roof
I have also had the oil breathers made which consists of a crankcase breather mounted to the front of the block and then a catchtank /breather on the bulkhead.
This vents to atmosphere and also drains back to sump.

The car has had the rear end pampered with a resprayed bumper and tailgate due to being a little scratched from constantly pushing in and out of garage and hitting items in its path.

The final stint is underway as the car is away on holiday at mo, having the HT leads made as the coil pack is re-located and a new wiring loom made too.

Yes, the car will be running within a matter of days/week… Cant bloody wait to hear how the new exhaust sounds, looks the part lets hope it doesn’t sound like a 1.2 Nova with a big bore 44.
