I remember whe i got them, i thought what the fuck, i think he has just sent me tyres Parcel guy couldnt beleive the weight either Gary

Oh yes! I'll be at both frail and knockhill plus any other track days I can manage Gary

Heres hoping mate, Im wanting it done asap, i have Japfest which i have put my name down for and im aiming for that, it must be mapped and run in fully before any track action, but im sure missing one or two shows wont do any harm Gary

Cheers man, im about falling asleep on here now, this build is non stop lol Gary

@ Laim, we will sort something out when im back on the road, wouldnt even mind a road trip with the missus for a meet sometime with a few of the local members from there. Anywho, tonights update!!! Me and Ryan were at the car again tonight, He concentrated on the filler on te outside while i continued stripping the interior. Filler on the nearside rubbed down, and more applied to gather shape, Here is my ever growing box of bits from just the interior! And by the end of the night i had stripped off all this extra weight And of course was left with this pretty bare shell. Man

well what I heard about stitch welding is that if the shell is damaged in a crash it can be straightened but if it's seam welded with no gaps it's harder to fix if you get me Gary

Well the panels of the car is spot welded together which means its strong enough for what the car is desighned to do, but when you got throwing it roound a track with a few hundred horses it can easlily crack. So its just inch long welds that holds the panels better and greatly increases chassis rigidity. There is different types of seam welding i think thou Gary

As my shell is getting prepped for paint just now and will be running as a track car this year and for more to come i am debating getting the shell strengthend (seam or spot welded) and the cage welded instead of bolted. Its be a 7 point cusco cage with a rear crossover a floor bar behind seats and a roof bar above sunvisors. Obviously i have rear strut braces, top and bottom front sturt brace , uprated front and rear ARB's drop links, anti lift kit, and uprated bushes all round, but if ill be running alot of power i dont want the chances of cracking in future. What you guys think? as ill

Cheers guys Well im down in march but its not going to be ready lol, but ill have it done for my final exam in july, plus i just head home when im finished it all so i could hang about for a photohoot . Ill be at alot of shows and the magazine feature also so we can get pics at some point for sure Gary

Lol @ Rory! Recieved my order from Nick@TD today and very pleased with it. I'll update with pics when I get a chance, Also put in a big order from work for engine and chassis rebuild parts today so they will arrive on the 3rd, More work to be carried out on car tomorow night Cheers Gary

I believe so but I'll ask before putting names down, How many more do you think will be coming? Gary

Voted for Bronze Gary

Welcome mate Enjoy you stay! Gary

Welcome buddy Sounds quite nice, look forward to pictures. Gary

Cheers guys, I've not got time to dos about lol, still got alot of work to do but it's going good and steady the now. Gary

Saturday mornings update, Got up early this morning to get some more stripped off, Ryan couldnt make it today for prep work so thought id take the time to get on with removing wiring etc. Managed to get Front wings removed, all wiring from front to back all seatbelts and brackets, dash board, gear linkages, roll cage, fuse boxes, and the rest of interior plastics. Only had my blue maskot from Samm to speak to Also picked up these SpeedVision valve springs From Rory Tuning developments order due in on monday and more updates on tuesday. Thanks Gary

I'm hopefully going, depending on how the build goes, If it's ready then I'll convoy down Gary

take the front bumper off, there is 3 10mm bolts and disconnect the pump then it comes down the way Gary

Cheers guys, Don't worry phil they will be off, took the little one off from the o/s/f wings and the paint came off so I'll get the heat gun rigged up for the rest Just lucky the wings are getting replaced. More updates after Saturday Gary

Some more updates, Got the shell prepping started, Ryan (aka Ryan-11) was up helping me so big thanks to him as he found dents i didnt even know i had lol, Got the start of the rubbing down and filler applied, ill be stripping more off soon. This side had a dent but it was bigger than i first expected Also have a rather large order from Nick @ TD so that should arrive before the end of the week, so ill update when they parts arrive Cheers Gary

Did you fit new gaskets with the turbo? They smoke quite a bit on first start up Gary

So you just need to check if these are correct? Gary

I have a spare c154 box if you could wait and didn't need these urgent I'll work out the ratios for each gear and final drive ratio Hope this helps Gary
