Yeah should plenty that, couple of mm is enough clearance there. Will only get closer if I lower the car but I doubt I'm going to go any lower then where I've guessed the dampers needs to be set, if anything I think I'll need to go higher. Thanks again. I've only learnt everything I know about...

I just bought a LH die and made it myself on the lathe out of some hex bar.

Had the same issue with mine. Remade the link out of some better quality steel. Had no issues after that.

Black bolts and you’ve moved the calliper to the other side?

Forged engine! And Hybrid turbo! That’s a big step from where you was a few months ago! Got the power itch to scratch now?

No worries. It is a great car Jordans, Shame there isn't a build thread for it all for people to read. I'm lucky I get to see it most weeks as it progresses. Anywayy... Bit more progress on it this week. I've worked on it 5 days this week and a full Sunday. Took Saturday a for a bit of chill...

Nice update there Matt. Just spent a while reading through it all and catching up. Look forward to seeing this out on track again with the faults ironed out.

Looks a good well set up track car! Don't see too many fully stripped out ones on here.

Hell of a road trip but no doubt totally worth it!

Mid week progress continues, few late nights after work this week trying to keep up the momentum. Wheels and tyres balanced up, sticking with the trusty combination of Rainsports and RSRs Had to do some work on the manifolds which meant starting with cutting off the old flanges, getting some...

Nice to see you getting out in the car on track and getting some use of it Mark!

Another weekend another update. Making progress, the car still looks like the same old shell on the driveway on axle stands but progress is certainly being made. First job was Saturday morning to run up to Preston to the Powdercoaters and get the subframes, suspension and wheels picked up...

Yeah! It's the same design as what he's running now. I guess you learn from other people's misfortune, want to make this engine as reliable as possible, also ordered an MTX-D oil pressure and temp gauge. Firstly to monitor the oil pressure and I'm sure I'll have temp issues on this engine...

This makes things all the better. Great to see you've got your old car back, but it's a shame it doesn't look like it used to! What's your plans for it? To get it back to what it was like?

Looking good, the Evol Engine mount is really good for the money, I used to run the same one on mine. Much better than the standard mount with an insert in! The wheels are a lovely treat though and will looks the dogs.

You must be nearly there with all the problems with this car now? Lucky to be able to fix it and get back out on track though!

Who was the original builder of the car/conversion? I'm guessing it wasn't yourself judging by what you're finding!

Few more hours on it again tonight. Carrying on from Yesterdays discovery of the cracked subframe rear mounts I decided to crack on with repairing that as a priority. Start off making paper templates of the area I wanted to plate over. Once the paper templates are fine tuned to fit...

Yeah I've gone for the V0 with Race Shifter with the 360mm length with the DSSR too. Thanks mate! Hopefully it will turn out well.

Thanks for taking the time to write all that down but I've actually placed an order for a full shifter kit frkm RTD which looks a great bit of kit, just waiting for it to be made as there was a 6 week lead time on them. They're certainly fantastic cars. The 3.0 engines sound amazing. Keeping...
