Car was looking top dude, and nice to say hello 'n that as always

Believe me that induction sound is crazy loud my phone couldn't take it ...the exhaust was great but even with Eardefenders it was ear piercing !

Hi, nice to have met you the other day. I've been quietly following this thread for a while and the car definitely lived up to expectations while stood and on track. Very, very nice bit ok kit :-)

Thank you so much Paul ....it seems I've got there in the end ..just needs a few bits finishing off ..tiding up & my twin skin tailgate to arrive & be sprayed & fitted ...another 6kgs off overall weight

Funny you say that Mei ..apart from some boxing in of Swirl pots/ pumps ....it was suggested  

Nick Charles offered to buy my engine but Will has first dabs on it  

Sandys telling them all about it ..see see
The car just feels so solid & sorted Mei ...I was nearly flat out in places I normally wouldn't be & it handles unreal & gives so much feed back to me .....so happy

PS ...it's only 90dbs at 4500
Also You at Pugfest ?

Test Fitting my Twin skin Tailgate all the way from good old France ..it uses standard mounting points & I'm going to be using Areo catches to lock it

---

Inside view ...ultra light

[Eeyore]

well thats rediculous. Where did you get it and how much? Ive got the same oil catch tank as you buy because ive got ABS theres nowhere to mount it! I thought it would be much smaller when i bought it.

[Piggy]

Same guy who did the bonnets I would think as he was in process of making the mold

£295 delivered inc Vat ....
It's a company that's been making stuff in France for 20yrs ....I'm dealing with a chap from Nailsea nr Bristol who imports everything

It's not the bonnet guy / Piggy ...

Locked & closed inside view

Got the tailgate back Sprayed Great job & a (Free) Brand new rear glass window arriving Monday and being fitted without a trim as I'm planning on buying a Hardshell polycarbonate grey tint rear window within the next 6months & Same bonded rear quarters ....all in 6mm not Standard 4mm as they don't flex as much at speed & cornering ...gives more panel support also

---

Bent 1.2mm Stainless plate & Tig welded a Stainless nut to the inside ..
I'm bonding the plates onto the underside of the tailgate where the tailgate ram nipple screws in ...I can then use it to spread the weight out over the Twinskin Fibreglass

[Eeyore]

good work as always.

[Day666]

good work as always.

Thank you

[Piggy]

Whoever your painter is...is a genius.

[Day666]

Whoever your painter is...is a genius.

I had to call two favours in for the Bonnet & Tailgate ...so two different Paint shops ...both top notch & if I had to pay ...silly prices

[Day666]

Tailgate works well & Stainless bonded plate is speading the ram pressure out & not bending the Fibreglass ...I'm pleased

[welshpug]

nice work, Garry's main concern with his Saxo Kitcar is that if he ever sticks it in a ditch that the tailgate would get damaged by all the speccies trying to push the car out on the tailgate!!


I'll be at Lemans not Pugfest I'm afraid.

do you use whattsap?

Vauxhall Corsa B Electric power steering going to be fitted in the next 2weeks  

---

Dum Dum my cars nearly finished m8 ...just Electric PAS to sort ....got to modify a few things for it to fit & the beauty of it is I've bought a conversion kit that allows you to ajust assistance 3 settings ...

I need PAS back on for road driving as its road legal ....I need a little PAS for Combe & a fair bit for Pugfest as my Arm we're hanging off the day after m8

[zx_volcane]

do i spy a trim pot for adjusting the 'assist' ?

will you literally have to turn it for higher speed / low speed manoeuvres on the road?

always with the epic updates i may add. you don't hang about

YES Tom ...but I will have it on lowest assist for Combe & highest for road .....
My steering with 2.4 Phaze 1 rack & 205/50/16 tyres is crazy hard ...
After Pugfest & 18-19 runs my Arms the next day were aching so bad ....

I will set it to drive to venues & Back & set the pot switch to minimum for track work or possible off for Combe ? As its so fast

That is mind bendingly fast.

I was told you'd had a little off on the last corner though but if you are buying shiny steering bits it must have been someone else.

I did ...last run of the day & lost it on the last bend with a very large grass drop ....only just went over 8-10 feet ...no damage & reversed back up in 2mins & nobody saw it

F**king hell man, I was expecting carnage, totaled car and personal safety preserved by the roll cage sort of thing!

Is there video of the off?
