Nice stuff, be careful with the door bars at 'the ring' theyve changed there rules on them now and they are abit vague / stupid. might be worth a read for you

[daniel_g]

Awesome selection of parts there Steven.

You should be putting them on your 85 instead haha.

[starletgt-shady]

Yeh I will look into the rules thanks might leave them off till after just to be safe thanks

Don't worry will have plenty good stuff for the 85 still collecting parts for the engine for it

[RobSR]

Heres a brief, havent seen what seat you have, but it appears the one going in mine wont pass either ha, and the cage will be quetionable..

• Bucket seats with ‘ears’ (as the Germans delightfully refer to them) are not allowed. Those are the seats with wrap-around head restraints.
  
• The famous Hans device neck-restraint is also banned from public driving.
  
• Roll cages with doorbars that restrict access are banned.
  
• Roll cages must be padded. Not with proper FIA crash-absorbing materials. Nobody will check that. Just any old foam will do.
  
• Aftermarket snap-off steering wheels are also verboten.
  

also there is a fine for drifting now.

[starletgt-shady]

Might get away with the door bars as the are pretty low and aren't about the seat ??

I have recaro evo seats in.

Is your car in at cjs paint shop in elgin? If so i seen it there the other day. Looks good in the flesh too. Got some nice parts there, i will be runnin the same turbo when i get my engine back

[starletgt-shady]

Yeh it's at TJ's in elgin. Great guy highly recommend him

[garrygt]

How much is her for a respray? I live in forres n there no1 really decent around here

[starletgt-shady]

He ain't cheap but you pay for what you get. He's putting a lot of work into my car. I know a guy that went else where after a quote from tj and ended up putting his car back to the company 3 times to get it sorted and ended up going just black in the end. Not heard a bad thing about tj so pretty confident the car will be flawless when done.

[garrygt]

ahright good good. Was maybe thinkin on gettin mine sprayed in the same sort of blue gazs ep85 was. Its a lovely colour but think it would be expensive. Let me know what power you make etc as I've got a zisco inlet aswell so will be good to see what power the td04 will make. What size is your downpipe?

[starletgt-shady]

It will be custom made to suit my side exit when I get it on mate. Bit gutted I don't have time before I go away would have been good. When I get back will get the turbo and water injection all set up.

[garrygt]

Ahright. Im gettin a 2.5 zisco downpipe and a 2.75 straight through exhaust. Hoping for 300 at the wheels but we will see. Mine wont be ready untill next year anyway

[starletgt-shady]

Yeh I will be delighted with that kind of power will just wait and see.

Where did you get the poly windows dude?

[starletgt-shady]

A company called plastics for performance dude.

[starletgt-shady]

some update Got the car back from the bodyshop the other week and its flawless really happy with it. Got the new frp bootlid on and poly windows, door bars and harnesses in.

Dean from rw developments made me a baffled sump so got that on ready for going to the nurburgring next week.

I had problems with my clutch which turned out the be the clutch fork which had split so had to take the box off and weld the fork back together also added some steel plates to strengthen the fork

takata tow strap

[starletgt-shady]

I would like to thank all the traders on here I've delt with for parts and advice

[starletgt-shady]

[RobSR]

Looks awesome! Any vid footage? Shame any bigger cars on the ring?

[starletgt-shady]

Yeh got videos from my dog cam. Yeh I did well on the f1 circuit managed to keep up or pass most except the porches. Caught an m3 and passed it on the top corner on the outside.

Really impressed with the car first time on a track. Will get vids up another night.

[Darraghmh91]

nice one man id love to go .. how much did it cost altogether

[starletgt-shady]

Probably about 2000. Got accommodation and ferry through the sun newspaper. Stayed in Luxembourg for 7 nights. Went to the ring on 2 days. So would be cheaper if you were just going to the ring and nothing else. We went other places and just made a great holiday out of it. Some of my mates went last year but just went for a weekend.
