[handbrake]

Nice work on the uprights by the boys. These are solid as a rock!

might be stupid question but how do you open the boot with the wing on? Or do you cut slots in the boot?

Cheers

i think all the cutting of the boot has been done to the wing stays appear thru like that..

wing off to open it i'd imagine.. (not that there is much point in opening it anyway).. unless struts have adjustment on top could get annoying setting them up..

[Martin Donnon]

I dont think boot access is a real problem with that one. This is the correct way to mount a rear wing, and the same way its done on our factory Porsche built GT Series car. You could stand on it, which is how it has to be

Mark, did you receive your WR35OP Extended Oil Pan yet?

[handbrake]

Not sure Martin, things arriving all the time now in preparation of starting to assemble. Will check

suede sparco wheel and works bell shift kit and quick release supplied by Adam from the tuners group. thanks for the tip seb.

So nice, will need a wheel for grubby hands between events

[Duncan]

yep good idea. we have spare ebay steerign wheels for both cars when we are not at the track. the good suede ones get damaged too easily, especially by oil.

I like you committment to this car....lots of good work going into it and nothing seems to be off limits....looking forward to catching up at Superlap

Hey mark,

are you going to invest in a suit, gloves shoes etc. ?

[handbrake]

Already have suede gloves and some boots

Going to get a suit made up

Has anyone here used the racer industries suit design process before?

[FineLine]

No but I did use revolution race gear to have my suit made. I am guessing but they probably use the same people to do the job.

Its pain free and tailor made to a good fit..

[handbrake]

good to know, thanks Noel

I have an identical 330mm Sparco wheel in normal leather I could let go for a reasonable price if you're interested?

I've been using a deep dish wheel on the street and discovered at the last track day when I bolted the Sparco on that I've grown too accustomed to the driving position of the deep dished wheel... I didn't feel at home with the greater reach for the flat wheel anymore.

[handbrake]

thanks Harry,

might take you up on that.

[handbrake]

anyone with an RHD will know why we have done this

Low CoG the goal of this build!

[Johny Bravo]

i can't really tell where in the car that is, but at a guess is it to mount the seats lower? just a guess.

[handbrake]

correct. the transmission tunnel is asymmetric and protrudes on the right side which gets in the way of lowering the seat

[Johny Bravo]

Damn i'm good, recon i just earnt myself a lap in the passenger seat? haha. If i remember correctly you've got a begining weight and dyno run for the car?
