Few more bits done, I cut the rear wheel well out and also got my new exhaust system made. It’s a 3” one piece with v band that connects to the downpipe the whole system weighs 12kg which is super light.

Some more carbon turned up, new boot lid and some tunnels for my new splitter I’m making.

So a few big decisions have been made in the past few weeks. I’ve decided to go down the route of a full re wire of the whole car using a Motec m150 and Motec pdm15.

Also getting a pedal box and will be installing Bosch abs in the car.

And I’ll also be painting the car oem electric blue on the outside and then Ferrari Nurburgring silver on the inside.

A few more parts turned up:

SSB Rear Control Arms
SSB Front Uprights
PWR Racing Extruded R Fin 55mm Rad
Sydney Composites Carbon Splitter End Plates
Sydney Composites Carbon Dash

The dash is super super light at only 2.6Ib

The rear SSB uprights should rock up soon as well.

Fitted the front uprights and also fitted the radiator.

Radiator was a super tight fit but it fitted none the less!

Also my T45 FIA WRC Cage finally turned up from the UK!

Stripped the car of all the panels, makes it easier for me to paint them whilst the cage is getting done.

loaded the car on the trailer and took it to my fabricator mate to have the cage installed.

Cage install is going well, I’d say he’s about half way with the cage itself.

Once the cage is done he’ll weld the new seat mounts in & weld the steering column brackets to the dash bar.

Tilton pedal box turned up, I also went round and starting cutting the dash so it will fit around the cage.

Yeah mate only thing the engines had is cams, for world time attack the car will only be 420bhp but it will be 2500Ib with fuel.

Next year I will build the motor and go for more power, I wanted to get absolutely everything done first before the engine.
