From the orange cup racer parked next to this one!! It now runs a large bag tank which is recessed into the floor so will be going for a custom side exit exhaust pretty soon! Thanks, it shouod be pretty cool when its finished. Do you have a build thread? Thats handy to know re bits, do you...

Little update, not much but something is better than nothing :D Cup racer exhaust sourced this week, all in very good condition. Not sure this will be the final exhaust for the car but for now itll do just fine. Plastics4Performance window kit, best on the market imo..fully thermoformed for...

Haha, yes sounds dangerous!! Did you get windows from p4p?

Nice to meet you today Ian, will be following the build from here on out mate!!

I did consider doing some diamond shapes but as said its not been done for aesthetics so circular holes were fine. Will be picking the panels up tomoz or thursday, which im looking forward to!

Popped to the paint shop this morning to drop the front bumper and skirts off, as i pulled up the boys were prepping my other panels so thought id hang around and see the panels in colour..a little bit lighter than imagined, still 6 shades darker than the interior so should work with my...

it wont be too far off what is but yes i see what your saying. As said function over form ;) As Rich said, dont think itll make a difference tbh, once in motion etc itll be fine. Even it did flood through, nothing a cover wont stop on the rainy days!!

Had a pretty good day on the car today, after making a few orders up for dispatch this morning and sorting the bag tank for the cup racer i cracked on with it for the rest of the day and made some progress! little pic of the bag tank plumbed up and wired..the car will be used for endurance...

One of 3 packages arrived from holland today, this ine being the most boring tbh but anyhow at least they are coming.. Cup racer engine and gearbox mounts. EE Brackets. And the steering coloumn adjuster clamp with sequential shifter pick up and lever and steering wheel hub/spacer....the...

yes itd cost alot to do but would be seriously cool and you know as well as i do how tuneable the engines are. Worth every penny in my eyes. Just get the car to me and il have it done for you in no time.

Thankyou. I have used Rivnuts. They are a very good friend of mine!!

Lol, no thanks mate although it would no doubt be awesome in one of these, it wont bode well with regs. thsnks anyway. why have you now decided against?

As said am unsure at the mo, most likely a 2/3 way setup though. Handling means more than bhp ime and is something to definatlely not be skimped on! Buy the best you can afford!!

Thanks :thumbsup: Still undecided tbh but Possibly ASTs, can possibly get a set of bilsteins from the cup racer to use for now. Unsure.

I do have some pics all mocked up but literally is mocked so il wait until the frames etc get here from holland along with the gearbox etc before posting those!! It needs slightly modifying also so will post in good time :) thanks for the comments :)

Thanks for the kind words, am very much lookig forward to the finished article myself!! Grabbed a couple of slightly better pics today of how it currently sits.. Had the pull cord brackets and aerocatch brackets i made powdercoated.. Along with these which are for sale as now have cup...

Nearly forgot the electrics/dash situation... so the original plan was to have a cup car dash and centre pod converted to rhd, this prooved pretty difficult and after wasting a few weeks sending it to various companies for copying, I gave up amd sourced this.. which turnt into this...

So...the engine! spec wise its not too far from standard for now apart from throttle bodies and cat cam 5504403 cams, has alo had all new gaskets, pumps, dephaser and belts changed! Plan is to get out and do some testing as is and then do a higher spec build, forged rods/pistons big valve...

quaife motorsport news saloons is the plan :)
