Finlay
A whole load further than mine! Good work!
Looking really good mate!
Steve
I can only see one problem. You seem to have accidently dropped a bike engine in 
Sorry, looks great. I wish i was anywhere near that stage 
Looks great, especially under the bonnet with the hoses. How have you kept the wiring so non existent?
Adam

30 days? You are putting us to shame!

That nose cone looks evil in black
Very nice - Like the colour.
PS a tip for you.
Black marker pen arround the inside edge of the suspension holes.
The nose in black MMMmmmmm a tad menacing.

looks superb - great work in 30 days
one question - does yours have a cable or hydraulic clutch? if cable - do you have a very very small biting point.
my r1 does and i can be fun and embarrasing when it stalls

Excelent work.

Kind regards

very nice job car looks fantastic
not long till sva
That looks really good in black. I'm not quite sure about these cars in certain colours but this one looks awesome.
thanks gents
Hi Finlay
The car looks great. What RAL code is the colour?
Looks nice-nice-nice! If I were you I'd go for a big filter element now that the bonnet is cut (very neat BTW!).
Mine's at the same stage and has taken 5 times as long!

cars lookin good mate
im headin to ness tomorrow to bring mine back for the summer so ill pop round for a look if the weathers nice
patrick
I love that nosecone! Is it just me or does it remind you of:
nice comparisson, like it
i knew it reminded me of something
That is fantastic .... yes the resemblance just kept nagging me in the back of my head, but i just couldn't picture it!!!!
MNR should trademark the nose, call it something like ...' the ripper ' hehehehe
I'm imagining that car in Carbon fibre effect, all black, with a few cunningly placed ooze and green acid squirts, subtly airbrushed on it.

failed SVA on 28/7/08
now struggling with emissions, i ve got a few things to try along with a bigger CAT, hopefully be on the road soon
well her she is completed ready for sva number 2 on 22/8/08, cant wat to get rid of the ford steering wheel
cheers
Very nice! Are you going to paint the little aluminium brackets on the front wings?
I'm very tempted by the practicality of those mirrors!
Nice! I like it! I wish we were this far...
Do you have a picture of what you have done to the bodywork where the exhaust pipes exit the body? You had a rectangular hole there, I would be
interested to see your solution.
Also, are you planning to use a bonnet bulge or just leave the filter like that?
And finally, what is that shiny piece of metal visible between the steering wheel spokes on the dashboard picture? It seems that you have something by
the pedals on the floor... ?
Thanks!
Gergely
Hi Finlay,
Looking good. What is boxed in in the passenger foot well? The battery?
hi all
Tim C - na, i m not going to paint the alloy plates on the front wings, they are to make the wings abit more secure than just self tappers
Gergely - i m not sure if im going to fit a bonnet scoop or not, i was going to originally but i quite like it flat
on the exhaust exit hole i have an alloy plate shaped and fitted on, also i have a new carbon can comming so i will take a pic when i fit it
they are return springs for the throttle peddle
Clive - the passanger footwell behind the plate is where all the ECU, battery, voltage regulator, starter solinoid etc etc is, you can access
everything from a hatch under the bonnet or by unbolting the plate and removing, all the rust stains are all the metal shavings rusted, they have
stained the floor alittle but will polish up
cheers
