DeLaSoul Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 Amazing work there! Bet you're glad to have gotten some done after such a long time!? Were the perspex windows easy to source? Did the place know what a Civic Aerodeck was? Yes, felt good. Had to put some air in the tyres as they were down to 15psi so shows how long it's bee sat there! The front windows are the same as the MG, quite easy to find but the rears had to be made for the car. Plastics4Performance were cool about it, took a few weeks once I dropped off the originals for them to work from. Doubt they have them on their website but if anyone else wants them then they can supply and the quality is top notch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't fault the work, waiting was well worth it looking at the pictures! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeLaSoul Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 Cool!What's the weight difference between the orignal glass and perspex, other than loads! LolNo idea. From the feel of it, the whole kit weighs about the same as the rear screen. When I collected it I asked if it was all there and they just laughed at me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Another 0.2 seconds off of a lap then! Whether you win by an inch or a mile.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeLaSoul Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 Got to do a track day on Monday in an MB6, same one in as in the June issue of Japanese performance. This has really pushed me into wanting mine finished so I'm working with a local engine builder in the evenings and the weekends will be on the car from now on! I had a few laps tuition and drove in both the dry and pouring rain. Car had a few mods and a lot of lightning and was awesome in the wet, pretty good in the dry (just lacked power). The instructor was able to keep up with much more powerful cars on circuit by carrying so much corner speed but he's driven the circuit 1000's of times so should know where all the bends are by now! I'm waiting on a new ECU and some bits before I finalise the wiring and seal it in trunking so moving onto the fuel system this weekend. Doing a well organised track day is well worth trying. You get to see what your car can do in a controlled environment, and the company I went with did 20 minute tuition sessions which really help most people there on the day 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Nice photo! Sounds like you had a good day! How much was the tuition? It's something I think is very worth while getting! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
