Car was awesome today mate, all the hard work payed off & putting some big power cars to shame. I did see you twice but you was busy, so left you alone.

I'll upload the pics soon....loving the "Nike" additions.

Cheers mate, appreciate you having a look. Just nudge me next time be nice to chat and catch up with you.

Car was good to be honest, at first I was a little apprehensive and was taking it easy. Got a little hairy round Quarry with a 4th to 5th gear change over the rise. (3rd gear was found after the apex )

If you have any pics yes please love to see them.

At the "Nike" additions comment, thats an equal mix of form=function (Lids were weaping around the seal).

Yes, whilst driving up to Combe the Alternator decided to shake its bolts out. So once at Combe I had to purchase some high tensile bolts and nyloc nuts to make sure it didnt happen again.

Great day though, wicked cars out on track all day

Time for some pictures I suppose, as i have been rather shite as usual with updating them. Hopefully my descriptive spiel above was good enough to wet your appetites

Well the new wheels are fitted and have seriously grown on me now, the MO wheel looked hot, but needed updating and a circuit racing wheel was duly arranged to take its place.

Here are a couple of pics of the wheels and the car as it stands at present, few changes to happen over the next few weeks with looks but these I shall keep to myself until Im happy they work.

Come on then what to people think the wheels....?

i think the wheels are fine they make it look very purpose built just like the old ones, are they actually any lighter than the mo's?
