Haha my high roller status has ended! I can't afford to even run the car now

Any more motorsport fun might have to wait till Sarah is finished her maternity leave

Still its 100% worth it!

it sure is mate, the older they get the more they cost too lol

front bar is pretty much on, mainly bodywork stuff happening at the moment

That looks pretty mean. I assume you're getting air into your intake from the driver's side headlight opening?

great idea using the oil cooler as a grille insert.

[jack be nimble]

awesome,
what is the orange car in the background? escort?

[DOUGMO]

Intake will be drawn from under the car, aero is king so I wont have a headlight intake.....very bad for aero

what you can see in the grille is actually the top of the radiator Clive

Where is the oil cooler air intake Doug? Guessing more work to the lower part of the skirt then?

[DOUGMO]

it will be from under the floor, pointing down to the ground on the front splitter
you wont be able to see it from the front of the car, or the intake for that matter

Worst case for the intake I will pull it from the side of the intercooler opening on the front bar

They arent brakes, they are a work of art.
This car has moved forward in leaps and bounds beyond anticipation. Its a huge credit to George's dedication and for sharing its build with us. Ps: I'd love go be taken for a drive in it one day lol

[ted]

George knows what im on about

DMS suck the big one... sure they are better than tein's, hot bits etc.. but for motorsport applications they suck.... MCA's are the only way to go (and really not much more $$ than DMS) or perhaps Reiger, Proflex etc if you want to pay even more... IMO the only thing Jamie does well is advertise how good his suspension is supposed to be...:S

Does not suprise me but im going on comparison to standard m21suspension, massive improvement on the street as far as track goes man im sure there is much bigger and better but everything has its place i suppose

The car is looking great man i can not wait to see this around a track!!!

Once all smoothed and finished it will be all moulded from fibreglass, including front and rear doors, rear 1/4s,skirts and front guards.
it is all being done in metal for now as a prototype to get the right shapes etc prior to moulding.

[nigel_a]

What is funny is that the old school muscle guys would have loved it if you kept it all steel!
These days, steel = weight. Weight = not wanted.

Oh how things have changed!

Very true

I could just bog it all up, paint it candy pink with some 22" chromies and some QSR stickers if you would like
