Definitely, Westfield powder coating is very thin and flat, the Caged stuff is much better. I have had various bits and bobs powder coated locally
and they would all put the Westfield stuff to shame. If I had known that I would have just bought the chassis naked and got it done at home!!

Dash came from "mickmade" and the switches from Caterham. They were NOT plug and play though!
Well IVA did not go according to plan but I am well on my way to sorting out the list of failures. Progress has been slow due to work commitments,
but I did manage to grab a few shots of the car for my insurance and thought I would share them on here with you all. Obviously the car is still a
WIP so a few bits still needing done.

loved the build diary so far having only just found and read it. The attention to detail is outstanding and I have to admit it has given me a few
ideas for mine

Yes failed three times now, noise and emissions.. I'm now on my last attempt before my 6 months runs out. If it fails this time I'm going
to burn it.

So it will be a full test again after 6 months?

Yes Kev but if it fails this time I'm going to have to re assess my options. I've already paid £450 and 3x £90 so I won't be giving
any more to DVA.. in saying that I'm in the process of making as many changes as I can think of to lower the emissions. I've fitted a new
cat, Power Commander V with autotune/lambda sensor, and I'm going to get the engine terracleaned.

Nightmare.
Fingers crossed its ok.
Have you got access to emissions test equioment before taking it to the test?
How far off are the emissions?

WOOOOHOOO!!!
Only took 4 bloody attempts. Now the transformation into a race car can properly commence, with the first event at the end of March! Should have
some better updates coming soon to get the thread back on track. For the mean time though she's tucked up for the night.

Well done on the pass! That garage makes me hate you a little bit though 
Where did you get your flared sidepanels?

Nice one, looks great!
Did that AB Performance airbox fit under the bonnet straight off, or did it need fiddling with? I'm considering options for my 954 blade at the
moment, to try and reduce induction noise a bit. Was the airbox horrifically expensive, if you don't mind me asking!

Flared panels came from mickmade who I think is a member on here
AB fits under bonnet no problem (raised bonnet with the bulge, don't know about standard bonnet) but yes it was hideously expensive

2015 reg now sorted, thanks DVLA! Picked up a new covered trailer, and gave the car a damn good clean. Now off for a full Geo setup and then back to
the garage for some more final mods pre season. Finally everything is coming together
