I'll be puting the old sierra whel on for the test, but well spotted.

The rear of my cat is welded straight to the R1 can due to the lack of space. At the front there is joint and a clamp, though it's not too clear from the picture.

Cheers

Ian

Have you checked the radius edges of the clocks ?

I used a perspex cover over mine and fixed it with double sided sticky tape.

I see to remember a 2.5mm radius ?

What about the edges of the headlight mounts? Can his little ball get in there?

Looks very nice though overall. I especially like the colour combo!

Really nice and well presented, the only thing that I noticed were the dials and the outer bezel not been radiused enough although could be the angle of the picture, worth a check.

Nice car though hope mine turns out as nice

Regards

Rich

Nice car Ian, i like the back lights, where did you get them from, mine need changing from trailer type
I have also followed your build diary in Complete Kitcar mag, probably the first article i read before the rest.

Nice car, looks well put together. These are getting like spot the difference competitions with your eyes scanning all over to see if you can be the first to spot an issue!

Only minor item I can see although it may be the angle of the pics is the flange on the 2-1 collector on the exhaust. It looks a bit sharp. If it is an issue some exhaust wrap should sort the issue.

Hi there

Thanks for the replys to date, keep them coming!

I've now got me a new steering wheel for the SVA, pick attached, I found the old sierra wheel and just could't bring myself to fit it!

Regarding the clocks, yes I had thought similar and I've made up a cover.

The headlight bar has some trim on the edges, but I'll have another look.

Bottom of the shoxs, yes I feel a bike innertube may require being sacrificed for the greater good!

Finally the collector, I had a look, the seams are smooth, but I may invest in some exhaust wrap to be sure.

Once again thanks for the feedback, I'll give an update when I go for the SVA.

Cheers

emissions, self centring ;^)
looks fantastic!
For top & bottom of shocks I used radio controlled model car tyres. Slicks look pukka but cost up to 4 times as much as ones with tread. Rescued attachment svafrontsus.jpg
