It's been a while, time for another update I think.
Firstly, a few pics from the first trackday at blyton...
This was an absolute treat....
My sisters boyfriend borrowed it from work for the day, meant we had somewhere warm to sit and a constant supply of tea and bacon sandwiches all day.
Next job on the car was a little unplanned. A few weeks after blyton, my dad noticed a small puddle of coolant in the drivers footwell which was coming from the heater. Rather than replace the matrix, we decided to remove the whole system because it is a bit of a big job (we have to remove the front section of cage to get the dash out).
Firstly I whipped up a joiner/restrictor for the heater pipes on the lathe...
Then we set about removing everything....
I made up a small carbon blank to cover the hole that was left in the bulkhead...
We are hoping that some rainex will keep the windscreen clear if it's wet on a trackday.
Next up, we got the OZ wheels powder coated black and got the R888R's fitted...
Then gave them a try on the car...
Look much better than the white speedlines and they'll also require less cleaning.
The next update includes this little lot...
I'll upload some more pics onto photobucket and do another update.
