Very nice touch!

Fair play on the custom diffuser btw, they're such things of beauty in my eyes and worth all the chopping and exhaust re-location

Not sure how your going to get it out of the roof space, maybe a shot of NoS

Best of luck with it, and i'm sure rich will do a fantastic job and get you one hell of a car.

I don't envy those bills though

cheers glad you like it i asked how they got it up there and they use a fork lift from next door

should be coming down soon just there while the loom is being done and will come down to have the engine and gearbox fitted

Is the Carbon wide Arch kit from Aerosim in the states?

What turbo are you thinking of?

What are you doing firewall wise for rear bulkhead?

Sorry for all the questions we all love this kind of stuff in here

Keep the pictures coming and good luck with the rest of it

hi daz

the arches were made by the same bloke who makes them for wrc spares but did require reshaping to fit

not 100% sure on turbo yet but was thinking gt35r but to be discused with richard at a later date

and the firewall came from rally tech its carbon and will match in with the carbon door cards aswell should be fitted now pics from a couple of months ago

yeah just had a look at your project i looks good mate, it was no real hassle on mine putting a exhaust tunnel out the side because of the other all the other work what has been done on the shell and thought it would keep the air flow cleaner having nothing to disrupt it,s path

yeah cant decide, i like the prodrive ones because there a bit diffrent and would keep the look of the p1 as they are a similar style to standard but 9.5" wide but the rays wheels have got a good track record well built and light so cant make my mind up the only problem with the rays in that colour is it is limited edition so abit worried if one gets damaged getting a replacement wheel

I personally think the rays are a bit to busy what with all the holes in the middle. I prefer the simpler look of the prodrives and as you say keeps in with the p1 look.
