After faltering slightly, the project is back on track

Looking to have it finished by April 2012 and the changes to the above are going to be:

* new more comfortable front seats - not as restrictive and track focused
* engine cleaned and some pipes painted, silicon colour changed
* bigger turbo (SC42/46 or MD321T)
* better ECU (SimTek or Syvecs)
* hawkeye front end
* widebody
* some new wheels... s203/4 style


Starting to collect parts now - so if you have the parts above for sale, let me know...

Well after much debating, I'm finishing and keeping this car. Going to be used a bit more on the road, so a few changes will reflect that.

So the list of things to do is:
-Sort out leak in intake system
-Add standard BOV back as waste gate chatter is too noisy
-Quieten down the exhaust
-MOT

Sorting out of the engine bay will include:
-Painting strut brace
-Painting slam panel
-Engine clean

Finishing the interior:
-Some nice comfy reclining buckets like brides
-Easy to remove amp and sub going in
-Carpet up the rear and firewall to clean up everything

Have to finish all that by April as the car is provisionally booked in with Daren @ ABW to get a wide body hawkeye conversion which will probably take around 3-4 weeks.

Engine bay has been cleaned... looks so much better now!




Just waiting for some audio cloth to arrive, so that I can start covering the stripped out rear half...
