Nice looking and sounding, car! I do hope your garage door was open. Hate to have an asphyxiated member...

.. Love your roll cage mate...

Beaut car - loved watching the build... Sounds gorgeous, and very healthy too!

I like your side impact bars on your rollcage, mine appear different to yours...

Very nice, liking the colour scheme.

My side bars are also a little different to yours, mine dont come quite as far outboard at the front and they also comes off the front of the cage at more of a 45degree angle.

Tidy darts.

Took it for the first drive last night around the industrial estate, clutch is a b*gger to use, kept stalling it! So need to look at that. And I was having issues selecting first. But once I got going it all seems ok.

My mates are ironing out the last few issues (small coolant leak, bit of wheel weight/caliper rubbing) and i'm going to test drive again tonight!

Car looks awesome Clive.

Cutting it fine for Spa mate. You still planning on taking the MK?

You're telling me Gary! Lastminute.com doesn't even describe the last few weeks.

Fingers crossed if all goes well today, i'll be there in the MK, if not, we might be turning up in a clio 182....

Have you got your thermals packed? It looks cold over there right now....

The weathers been perking up as the weeks gone on.
I booked both Spa days and a Day and a half at Nurburgring and I was more than a lottle worried when I seen the snow and freezong conditions.

Fingers crossed everything goes smoothly with the MK. When are you heading over?

Well we made it on track, the indy lasted and the day was brilliant sunshine. Absolute top weekend! And good to meet you Gaz, the R1 motor sounded amazing going up Eau rouge!

here's a vid of me driving the indy...

It was great to meet you Properly Clive.
The MK looks incredible and sounds fantastic,
The fact it rolled out your workshop and straight to Spa, where it survived the day without fault shows what a good job you've done.
Very jealous of the extra grunt..

Sounds nice! Roll cage is sick! Is your bonnet with the intake an upgrade?

That video alone yet again spurred me on to get down the garage tonight - cheers buddy!

Cracking video, watched it from start to finish, brill!

The intake sticking out of the bonnet is the new kit from AB performance, not the cheapest option but a well designed item and looks the part too.

Cheers,
