I did Pop and see it last week down at MBdevelopments where it had no interior and no engine ancillaries at all fitted!

Need to source another set of standard wheels for some more tyres soon before the season starts.

Right time for a massive update so please bare with me, This year I've been doing both the Fueltopia Barrel Sprint and I've done some rounds in the 22b Sprint series. The car has gone through some major changes along the way and now supports an impressive spec thanks massively to my sponsors I've picked up this season:
MB Developments
Chevron Motorsport
Whiteline
Midwest Signs


The car now is making somwhere about 420-430 and has the follow spec

Owen Developments/Chevron Turbo
Custom FMIC and pipework
Chevron/Samco custom intake Pipe
Ramair air filter
Reversed Inlet
GT Spec 2 headers
Inlet Spacers
Lateral 800CC injectors
Pirtek Braided Hoses
Walbro Lift pump
Bosch Fuel pump and swirl pot
Custom Fire wall panel
Alcon Hydraulic brake
Japspeed exhaust
Carpets and rear seats removed
Parcel Shelf deleted
Stickers externally
XXR 527 alloys
Girodisc 2 piece Brake discs
HSD Coilovers
Chevron Custom front Arms
Whiteline Front ARB
Whiteline Rear ARB
Whiteline Drop links
Whiteline roll centre kit
Smoked Headlight
Tinted rear 3 windows
Smoked side indicators
Rear Diff
Fire Extingisher
Standard Widetrack wheels for 22b in Grey
Standard Widetrack wheels for FBS in Gold
Mapped by Andy Carr

The season so far has been up and down, Car has come on leaps and bounds at the last FBS at Ultimate Street car and managed to take Second in AWD, 22B series on my first outing managed to put two wheels on the grass and loose it into the barrier at Combe taking out the side of the car. The car was drivable again within 48 Hours and went on track again a week or so later for a shakedown and has since been repaired but I'm still missing a few decals.
More recently for the 22b it has been out at Teeside and Blyton where the car has ran well but no trophies to show although the events are great fun and everyone has a great time. Currently looking forward to Racewars for the second time this year to defend the Hero Launch title Followed by a round left of both the FBS and 22B Sprint series.

Anyway here is some pictures and comments from along the way:

Well done for getting stuck in, James!

What category do you run in 22B series? S2?

Thanks Kosta, Yes I'm currently S2 class although the modifications planned for the Barrel Sprint will push me to S3 next year by the looks of it.
