Merli's R32 Track Bitch

[Blitz]

Nice header tank Merlin, did John source that one for you or did they fabricate it in house?

[Merli]

Pretty sure they sourced it mate, but not sure where from...

[SimonR32]

awesome stuff mate, wish i had the cash to give something like this a go...

whats with the speed holes but, its called a angle grinder!!! cut the whole lot away and save even more weight

even better, just remove the whole bumper support like i did, bumper still sits fine and you save around 7kgs

ps. that exaust is a whole lot of porn, i would be putting lock nuts on the cat so i cant come around and steal it

i cant remember where you were up to last time i was here... have you got any pics yet of how the wheels fit??

[Merli]

There are some piccys of the wheels back there... None really showing fitment though... I'll take some more in a week or so, after the brakes go on.

In the meantime, here's a teaser pic

merli

fiberglass aint going to last good looking

sell me -5's

[Merli]

Fatz: Too right buddy... We're going to use that as a mould, and then create some more durable ones out of thick carbon kevlar.... Interested?

Stu: Yep, fatz and I will be at OP... Fingers crossed that I'll be there in a Nissan!

I bought the undertray off eBay... Apparently it's a copy of some Japanese brand. I just wanted the design, which looks great. We're going to make a proper, durable one our of carbon kevlar though. We'll make it one piece too, instead of three pieces.

PM me if people are interested! (and no, I don't make anything out of this... Cars aren't how I make money, they're how I waste spend money )

[Angus Smart]

Yeah i am keen Andrew, Was going to make one out of alloy soon but this will do nicely i thought about getting one of them from yahoo for a while.
