Winter tinkering finished, summer driving starting tomorrow. -Pics and winter upgrade list-

Hi all,

Im a happy bunny, I have pretty much finished my car fiddling now so me and a couple of mates are going for a drive tomorrow.

Done quite a bit this winter, nothing compared to others on here but I am happy with it. I wanted to do more but with detling next week and the glimmer of summer showing I got tax and Im hitting the road!!

My list of mods are:

Changed M12 bolts to 1/2" on rear lower wishbones
New diff oil
Sourced and fitted full screen
Sprayed surround of small screen black
Cut off and put on new wheel studs
Brought new wheels, tyres transferred across
Made supports for tonneau to prevent sagging
Rewire savage switches and tidy them up.
Carbon wrap dash
Make new throttle trumpets anf fit air filter. This was the biggest job as bonnet fetling was also needed
Repair rear upright
Change engine oil and filter
1/2 tonneau for singleton distance driving and track days

There will be some other actions to follow including remap and geometry set up. Maybe rear diffuser as well

I also want to get a storage pocket for the passenger and a fire extinguisher.

Priority now is to get some test miles on tomorrow and make it to Detling next week. I have been several times but this will be the first time I have driven a kit car there and got free entry, also hoping to park on the in field.

A couple of pics:







Any comments welcome, happy motoring!!

Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

Why not just let them sit in the passenger seat?

Have you got one of the dash?

PS, that's a funny looking full screen!

Ha, yeah thats the small one, I prefer that one.

Dash pics!






Unfortunatly carbon does not like concave bends and its started to unstick in places. It still looks alot better than it did before I wrapped it.
