You guys got any side shots of the cars, im worried like Fozzie said about the front looking too low in comparison to the skirts etc.
Theres nothin else out there for the Prodrive edition bumper. So ive had to go WRC emulating.
How deep are your lips guys? mine is cut at 3" at the mo.

Heres one ive mocked up with a 2.5" cut. Its slightly shallower than the 3" one before.
What do you think?
Please bare in mind if i do fit this it will be rigid and straight its only on with gaffer tape at the mo. Its just a mock up as before

Frayz,
Hi mate, i'm probably missing something, but why?
I don't see that giving any advantage, and worse than that it looks out of sorts with the rest of the car.
You've done a cracking job with the front of the car fitting the IC, don't spoil it.

Yeah, really like em mate. At last a can enjoy abusing the brakes the way i want. Those DS2500s were shocking and i could fade them without issue almost anywhere. Funk knows how some people use em on track... must be driving miss daisy?
Its nice to finally have a pad that really excells when you give it some stick and the harder i used them the better they got. They are a litty dirty on the rims, but this maybe just the initial bedding in. Eitherway i like em alot.
Need better rubber now as they find the linits of gip on the tyres quite quickly lol

Almost wonder if i should have gone 15's all round TBH
Not sure about the front splitter... going to be functional so would get my thumbs up for that, but isn't in keeping with the very clean look of the car.
So i guess it comes down to whether you really do plan to push it on track some day soon!

Finally done it...
Yes i have purchased the last "BIG" bit of my engine build. The clutch.
Im currently walking around with a stride like John Wayne as ive just been bummed for a serious price tag.
Its an Exedy hyper twin plate...
If you too would like a "sore *** stride", get yours here, its about as cheap at they come.

The beginning of the end is indeed in sight mate. Its been a long while saving part by part.
However i have 10 weeks until WRC... do i wait till after or do i try and meet the deadline and take the 2.5 to WRC?

10 Weeks, yeh big *****, We know you can do it in 1!
that clutch is a serious bit of kit, looks like it might even survive a bit of track abuse.

Its slightly different to the one in your car Ross. Apparantly its got a higher clamp load and is more user friendly.
Ask Zak for details but i know it was more expensive than the regular hyper twin plate Exedy make.
YVM- That old smoker i knocked up in a week... this is a proper engine ya know so i'll torque all the bolts up on this one
Matt- If you knew what WRC was like you'd realise hopw funny your statement sounds. Running in is certainly not possible on one of our outings im affraid.
