I've fixed up the chassis where i had to cut it to fit the BE gearbox,I also fitted the proper steel spacers to the rear rose jointed mount:





Added a support as the chassis leg was flexing too much:





Got a new smaller steering wheel:





Added some brake ducts as last track day i could feel the brakes getting hot and increasing the pedal travel:







Had to change the Powerflex purple as the driver side one acquired play and i could move the wheel side to side quite a bit I thought they would last a bit more than that? seems strange,this time I went with the Black version:







Always wanted to try a decent size splitter that goes as far back as possible after the first "failed" attempt,this time i went with aluminium 2.5mm thickness,made in 4 separate pieces as i could only get 50cm by 1 meter,and bonded and riveted together (counted and there are 105 rivets lol),weight 9.5kg,eventually i will continue with adding a flat floor and diffuser at the back,so got a cardboard template first:















So to lift it up i can just use the sill mounts and then put axle stands in the original locations if i need to:





Also fitted a smaller pulley from Spoox to gear down the alternator:



I don't like bonnet vents too much but i thought i had to put some after fitting the splittter to get some air moving since it's all covered at the bottom now:
