Omg that looks wicked..

Everything is back together and working great now. Just have to wear in the gearbox and clutch for 500 miles. That's probably been the hardest part, no vtec and driving like my gran till the 500 is up. Even without driving over 4000 rpm the car feels fast. The weight saving and short final drive has made a huge difference, the box is now shorter than an s80 so can't wait to see how it pulls when I can finally get into vtec again.

Gearbox, suspension and brakes going back on. Arches have been Undersealed too. Also fitted 500hp rated insane shafts

Powdercoated and poly bushed parts to go back on. Sub frame and front bumper bar coated aswell. Forgot to take pics of the finished coats but you can see it's now gloss black instead of primer and white upto the arches. Also parts to go in gearbox.

Undersealed inside of the wings as the arch linings have been cut about to clear tyres.

Already looking better in primer

New mounts, very hard so means I can remove the two torque mounts. Lot of vibrations though.

Gearbox out the way.

Pile of bits to clean and paint More rusted sort out

Looking a bit tired and rusty.

Polycarbonate windows being fitted. The fronts came ready made but I made the rears as I wanted to remove all the glass.

New wing mirrors and made a new base out of 3mm alley. Then painted black.

Strong flex bushes Polished up the rad and had to make a little bracket for the fan Short shifter with little extention and a skateboard wheel made a nice light knob.

Ok so it's been few years since I updated this so thought it was about time I did it. Progress on the car has been slow but steady. Still need my race license and still need a trailer but the cars is a little bit closer. Had a house move to complete different part of the country and 2 kids since last update so that's why things have been slow. Plus another project car. I do at least have a nice garage to work in now. So think best way to update is just to make a list of things that's been done and pictures galore. Striped off all the suspension and refurbished, powdercoated and strong flex polybushed. Striped out lots more weight. Made some new wing mirrors. Polycarbonate windows. High spec big brake kit, 6pot calipers and 335mm floating rotors. Branded lines all round. Grooved disks and ebc blue pads. Made new door cards to cover the big hole left by cutting out the inside door skin. Oil temp, oil pressure and water temp gauges. Ricky Evans Motorsport heated windowsrceen. (not wired up yet) Jap speed 4-1 manifold, standard cat, toyo sport 2 1/2 inch cat back system. All the aero removed as it's not Motorsport compliant anyway. Aero catches on bonnet and standard latch removed. New cam cover in white with an10 fitting ready for breather setup. AEM adjustable cam gears. New waterpump and cambelt. Comp clutch lightened flywheel and stage 2 clutch. Gearbox rebuild using carbon synchro kit from synchro tech, bearings and seals, and Mfactory 4.9 final drive.(makes it very short) Innovative engine mounts. Resprayed some of the bay while gearbox was out and underseal as much as I could. Now picture time!

Nice one on the wing, and good luck trying to find a rear lip
