[AtomicRex]

As with everything it all takes time

[turbotoaster]

any news today, send me an email


grant ill be going to take pics of my completed car, if my camera just so happens to catch the edges of another racecar then that will be unfortunate conicidence!!

[AtomicRex]

Your subframes are currently away being powder coated....all of the suspension bushes have been removed.  We are going to shot blast them next week, and then mid next week the subframes can be bolted into place along with all of the new suspension arms.  Can get the engine into place as well.

[turbotoaster]

cool, at this rate it should be able to move under its own steam next month

[RobMatthews]

Mind me asking how much the cleaning and powdercoating of the subframes is costing and same with the shotblasting of the arms? what are you doing with the arms to stop them oxidizing?

when will you need to the dash by as i know it wont be that long until you start looking at wiring, end of the month?

[marco]

ooh, i like the powder coating. hmm, Jon can you let me know what kind of price we are looking at.
saw the orange shell yesterday, it looks fantastic in the flesh, the wings and bonnet in particular are very nice looking without being OTT. still not sure about the bumper, but I know exactly why you are doing it.

What\'s with the end tanks on the ic, will that work ? Won\'t you get air flow problems.


Keith

[Grant Monkhouse]

of course it will, the air is getting forced through by the turbos, no getting sucked through. he has moddifies the end tanks so that when Lee goes to a single turbo the inlets and outlets match the turbo outlet
