just got the full underneath ready for welding and to be prepped . it was hard work but worth it

 

Not kidding its hard work!!!

 

luckily my nephew is a work horse and requires beer and takeaways as payment

got some welding done today underneath and the wheel arches

 

How in gods earth did you get all that underseal off so cleanly ?

---john---

 

2 drills with 100mm wire brushes in them , and a work horse of a nephew and me helping every now and again

 

LOL @ John, I have felt your pain!

Looking good nas.

 

cant wait for this to be done neil, youll have to take me out in it or just give us the keys!!!! preferbly the keys i shall give ya keys to type r as well!!!

 

What advantages does seam welding give? I've heard about it and know what it is but don't know the full benefits.

Not a thread steal nas just a minor enquiry, oh and bring it to a SMACS meet when done seen as your local

 

cheers its getting there and gerry you can drive it any time aslong as you have your type r ready as deposit if you pop the engine

 

Coming on very well neil, you decided on a colour yet mate??

 

Newbie here

Looking good there Neil.

Keep up the good/hard work m8

 

pearl white at the moment unless i can find a nice bling colour

 

basically it makes the car stronger and better at handling , as it stops the body flexing

 

just clicked after lads

 

just finshed most of the underneath prep with seam sealer and stone chip , next is the inner wings

 

few mods i,ve aquired for the car
rear brembo,s

carbon mirrors (lightweight) :wink:

whiteline full kit

 

more parts bought

just bought some tein edfc control master flex

 

Some nice gear there to go on.

 

just need a carbon propshaft and some front brakes and thats all the running gear sorted anyone got any ap,s or wilwood,s

 

I wouldnt bother with a carbon prop at 500bhp - spend the money elsewhere.

 

i,m just trying to get the lightest unsprung weight as possible

after seeing john stevenson,s car do a 10.98 and with 500bhp 500 lbs torque and p20 psd,swagon do 11.38 with a bit more bhp and full weight , i want to get
the car in the 10,s when i can afford a 5 speeder .the 6 speeder should get it in the 11,s for now i hope

the new target is 550bhp and 500lbs torque

 

The projects coming on well now Naz keep up the hard work

 

cheers i will post a few more parts i,ve bought next week
and the car (touch wood ) should be in the body shop for beginning of febuary , to have the inside and under bonnet painted

got all the running gear stripped , gearbox is being sent to david api for strip clean and check , and all running gear is being sand blasted and powder coated .

 

lookin good nas, how much was the whiteline full kit

 

and where from lol...think ill get the same

 

got the whiteline gear from www.unit-8.co.uk

 

if your happy to spend, just buy 4 carbon fibre doors from siebon for £2000!!!

 

or speak to immortal performance, who do them much cheaper

As used by AndyForrest, Zen Performance, John Stevenson, Mikee and Myself

 

Doors from Andy are excellent quality...... and light
More importantly they are Excellent BHP/Tonne/Cost Ratio
