northy.. no probs give us a ring when your coming to drop them off.


no cant real modify another rack to fit because of the angle of the neck ex.
cant believe that its this hard to find a manual rack.

 

that's a bummer. will keep an eye out for a manual rack for you.

 

thanks mate it would help out alot and would save putting an electric pump on.

 

has anyone got any ideas about a manual steering rack please.

 

I might be wrong but I think Andy F uses a manual rack ????



Cant see a pump on this set up???

 

i thought about that but you can buy a manual race rack for £3800 thats what i was quoted then fell over.

thats why iv been trying to find out if something like an xt or a brat fits.

ill see if i can find out what hes useing. thanks for the info mate.

 

SPEN THE LAST FEW NIGHTS GETTING SOME OF THE PANELS READY. WELDED THE HOLES IN THE BOOT FILLED N PRIMED WINGS ARE FLATED FOR PAINT I HAVE ALSO BEEN STRIPING THE BACK DOORS. INNER SKIN GONE.



THEN THE STRENGTHENER BAR HAD TO GO



THE WINDOWS ARE NOW FIXED IN ONE PLACE AND I HAVE CARBON PANELS TO GO OVER THE HOLE TO MAKE IT LOOK A LITTLE BETTER.

ANYONE GOT ANY IDEAS THAT I HAVENT THOUGHT OF YET.

 

just got two doors and a bonnet left to do know. engine done aswell will post some pics up soon.

 

my inlet frm the engineer. reversed and i decided to chop all the unused brakets off. just got to tap a few injectors in then ready for paint.

 

couple of doors painted yesterday ready for refitting.





bonnet painted. just sat the panels on for know to get them out the way so thay dont get damaged.

 

seats fitted drivers is set for my seating possition as im a big person its not easy.

passenger seat bolted to the floor trying to keep the centre of gravity low.

 

love the colour, IM looks slinky

 

Are you retaining the original glass, if so how do you intend to fit it now you have stripped them that far?

 

Ill reply to that one for him as i see it every day! the rear windows are fixed in place permanently he welded two pieces of threaded bar to the door internals and bolted the windows on their original mounts.

Big shout to rich as i know hes hard at work now getting the cage prepped and painted ready for fitting.

 

got the cage in doors on and all fitted up. seats bolted in and belts bolted in.









got this boy today. a gt30r/gt35r hybrid

 

that turbo is huge!

 

thread digression sorry; mneame next time you are at Mocom ask to see Zak's GT37...its fricking huge

 

need to get my ra up to zaks soon doubt my build will be anywhere near as involved as this one though. would love it if it was though.

 

thanks chaps still waiting for more goodies to turn up. its like christmas most days with different parcels turning up.

if only we all got bits for our cars at christmas we would be happy, instead of socks and a shirt.

 

few more picys of my spoiler and wheels on.










and steering wheel

 

awesome looking thing

 

Might run abit faster with an engine , pity it wasn't ready for the shootout

 

aup stranger. dnt you worry about my engine and start thinking on what your going to do to keep up

it is a shame its not ready but it should be soon. engines built and iv got a 6 speed waiting to go in. keep changing my mind on the clutch. twin plate cusco seems to be my favorite at the mo.

 

Ill keep up no probs, ive just won the Msa sprint at Mira last week
Will u still have the Dccd when its done? what do reckon it will weigh when its done around 1050kg? and 2 tonne with u in it

 

congrats on winning mate. why dont you try racing against other cars you wont keep winning then

should be around 1030 but id like it under 1000 if i can.

 

quick update. the last few weeks iv been waiting for my twinplate clutch to arrive engines done and clean gearbox is clean.
so i decided to get out my grinder again







iv also raised the spoiler
fitted adjustable arms
rear anti roll bar



fitted aero catches and started flatting the paint to machine buff.

while i was doing it found a dent on the rear door. it anoyed the hell out of me so had to do it,

 

i orderd a sheet of ally and got to work making a rear defuser. as the exhuast comes out the front i have nothing to worry about.





also i changed the front and rear subframes to newage for wider wheel base. put the rear brembos on with grooved discs. front subframe removed and refitted new age when i cleaned it with the arms ex.







proper workmans tool

 

few pics of other thing iv been doing while im board

 

fabulous looking thing...when do you think it will be running?

 

in around a month or so. i will get some better pics up soon that camera is a bit poo.
