Vtisgilman Posted July 30, 2016 Author Share Posted July 30, 2016 Not seen that one before, looks pretty good. Bit expensive though. Cost me less that £20 to weld in a bit of bar so easier to do that instead. Also a rear brace doesn't really do much in our cars, a guy I know who builds space frame chassis had a look and said the rear end is really well built and pretty solid from factory. The problem with our cars is the length so the whole car twists in hard cornering or if you park one wheel on a curb. Only way to sort is full roll cage.

Vtisgilman Posted July 5, 2019 Author Share Posted July 5, 2019 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! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
