cheers bro, not cams specced , as i belief alloy now is not approved by cams, basically was built with much study and a understanding of structural rigidity , wanted to tie in the strongest areas of the car making it one rigid structure.(rear suspension turrets, b pillars, and a pillars) treating it like a skeleton, an underlining structure , the bones under the skin.
Just getting the finishing touches done on the dash and it will be going in.

hmm not sure if you mentioned this..but are you planning on doing any racing in this? i know it has all the quality go-fast bits, but wouldn't want to mess it up?

[ScottyMK1]

Wow..

The man hours gone into this thing would be insane.

I love where it's heading.

polishing stool , work bench ,step ladder amongst other things.
it will definately be doing track work , thinking hillclimbs not sure but something.

carbons , also ran the rear loom and cleaned up all the terminals.



extended the gas pedal as to line up better and bring it out, as ive set my seat way back.
and some grip, super sticky.

This whole build is simply stunning, I have been following it since day one and the patience, skill and craftsmanship you have put into the build are second to none and it is truely inspiring and the best kind of XXX engineering porn for lack of a better word.

But please for the love of Christ, while I appreciate it is going to be a serious well engineered weapon on the track the issue isn't you or the build it is the mong in the beat up datto late braking you into the corner and wiping out the car who isn't going to respect the work you have put into this piece of art who is going to ruin this for you and us. So I beseech you to keep it to the odd well organised professionally run track day or Dutton type event and don't let some idiot who doesn't care about his car let alone yours kill it at some open track day full of sik SIL 180's.

Looking forward to the rest of the build but I will be holding my breath every time you take it to the track.

Cheers Q

Cheers yer it's a scary proposition , that's why I think I like the idea of hillclimb , but at the end of the day it will be so nice to put it to the test. ( in a semi controlled environment.

Race tracks have fewer trees.
