This was on a Mickey Mouse intercooler so Mark had to hold it back, it was also on a standard inlet. My cooling system was pressurising and he thought it might have been head lift...turned out to be fault pressure cap on expansion tank (sounds like racing driver excuses but all adds up) this was on the bog standard 2.0.

Mark has cut out all of the stuff he didn’t like ready to put in all new. The old setup had the exhaust swap sides on the car by humping over the gearbox bellhousing, this always gave ride height issues as at 3.5 inch diameter plus some air gap over the box it needed a lot of room, I have asked Mark to send the pipe straight up the car by raising the floor a bit as it then doesn’t need to cross the gearbox and it will jump over the cradle if needed as I don’t mind the boot floor being amended.

Here is a pic of the billet floor mounted pedal box, I am going to try the car without servo again as this is a better version. We have explored remote servos but prefer not to if we can get the feel right.

Hi, Kev I finally got round to doing some pics. I also found a few still in boxes, there is a massive crane still boxed and I think they are over £100

Went to Howletts zoo, the keepers whizz around on these old milk floats, the whirring sound took me back a bit.

Trial fitted the carbon roof spoiler to my grey gti, it will go higher when I remove the little spoiler, obviously this would be for the red car. I have a big t16 spoiler on the way to compare.

Not keen on the sculpted side panels. Carbon Kevlar door is on the right side of this pic.

I had to turn up some alloy sleeves to help locate the wing mirror, I will add an alloy sandwich plate as the Kevlar is pretty thin there, I am hoping to do away with the internal adjusters as I never move them.

T45 lightweight cradle to Marks design getting measured up so the cage can locate on the mounting points, this will take the supra diff directly....I love the simplicity of it and saves a chunk of weight in this metal over the beam setup. (Cheaper alternatives are available, lol)

I prefer the shape of this to the other but I think it will take a lot of fibreglass skill to pull it off well. The t16 rally car had struts bolted to the back to stop flex.
