Some of you may know I have an FB page documenting my progress, but since a few don't have/want FB, I'm going to start uploading pics here too as I get time.

 

As I've said before, not competing this year, time is being focussed on family and home projects, both of which I largely ignored last year! I also enjoy modifying and developing the car as much as driving it, so can tinker away at it through the year, so don't expect fast progress.

 

Open for discussion, criticism etc :)

Those manifolds are quite something!

Did you buy those manifolds directly from Ash?

Top quality work going on here. You must have spent a fortune on an- fittings

Umm, so this is happening...

 

You're sculpting some aero???

Your turning it into a cupcake?

Makings wings to cover the wider track and to match the wider bumper

I remember seeing the cut up arch pics. What are you making the wings out of?

Will be cf :)

Thought you might say that. The OEM wings weigh sod all as it is, so you may be creating something feather weight.

Yeah, the wings I had before though we're surprisingly heavy at around 5kg each. They were fg, and 20mm wider, same clearance as my rolled oem ones, and dismally short of the new offsets

double post

I wouldn't surprised if the fibreglass units weren't heavier than stock TBF.

Bored of sanding!

PMSL , welcome to my world James :scared:

 

Badass!

I saw this under the cover at Jimmer's a few days ago. It gave me lots of naughty thoughts. :D

How much of your chassis rails been amputated to allow those jet engines to fit lol.

by the looks about 6 inches in length, by about 2 inches in depth.

Was admiring it when it was last at Power zed

Eeekkk! Does this not affect the rigidity and overall structural strength.

rails were box sectioned years ago to make space for these turbos, had them elongated back and down while at bodymech in case I ever get the chance to move engine lower and further back in the future. In theory, the new compressor covers won't cause fitment problems, but Ash's manifolds have moved the turbos slightly so we'll see

More updates while I'm here

 

Front end from when I started

 

Lots of shaping and sanding, turns out hardest part is making bothe sides the same, had to cut up one side twice now :(
