Progress pictures - nearly there!

I know we all like piccies, so thought I'd take a few of where my car is up to as of today.

It's basically finished, bar some IVA trimming and a few odds and sods. It's going for a full chassis setup and corner weighting next week, then off to atspeed for a mapping session, and that's pretty much it! Just need to save for IVA and registration now, but thinking a few track days while I save might help the motivation!

Cheers

Very nice, your going to have to put temporary side repeaters on the front/rear wings as scuttle mounted wont cut it with IVA. if you need anyone to have a look over any test points i can always pop in sometime in the evening as i work near greenhithe.

Oh and u have exactly same paint scheme as me

Very nice
Your exhaust looks as if it will blow on the rear wing not good for the fiberglass

Thanks Ben, will take you up on that at some time if that's ok. Thought I'd positioned the side repeaters to be able to satisfy all the visible angles rules - bugger!

Jacko, exhaust used to hit the wing, shortened the link pipe and it's fine now (the tip of the exhaust angle down more than it looks in the piccies)

Cheers

No problem, give me a shout when your ready... If your taking it to Gillingham they are very harsh and it wont pass with them on the scuttle. Theres a few other things, but bank on failing first time and getting a list of bits to do !
