They\'ve been filled and modified too much, will be easier to just copy the new ones.  

[Sicknote]

Started a little bit of work today, door brackets, fuel filler pipes and caps fitted and the roof scoop is now
bonded to the roof, the black and green theme is gunna look epic.  














The drivers floor has been prepped and sealed.





I wandered over the bodyshop to get some spray cans to find one of the guys finishing the front bumper for spraying.

So I take it the car will be done for rotorstock? unless there\'s a silly race on that weekend?

[Sicknote]

Should be,another of my motivations will be the BHP show at Rockingham the following weekend as ive a special invite
for a top power street car demonstration.   :Tongue1

OK, back on it tonight.

Cut the hole for the Motec Bezel I got from the states, happy now the dash sits flush.





Painted the drivers floor and rear interior areas











Whilst Ejo used the Zircotec Flex heatshielding to cover the LIM








Primary fuel rail and 1000cc injectors





Secondary rail with 2000cc injectors





The secondary rail now on the Lim

That zircotec flex stuff looks really, how much is a sheet??

Expensive stuff Grant, a 900mm x 550mm sheet is £83, I had to buy three sheets today as we\'re going to cover the
LIM, Brake master cylinder housing and the entire tunnel.

But it is VERY good stuff.

[Grant Monkhouse]

That\'s expensive, think I would only need one sheet, but probably cheaper to make a shield out of something else as my turbo sits very very close to my LIM:(

It\'s the lowest temp flexible sheets I could find on the market, I know what you mean about the close proximity, mine
is almost touching the LIM.  

[Grant Monkhouse]

What do you mean by lowest temp ?? Lowest temp transfer through the sheeting? I will take a picture of how close mine is it the weekend, I think it\'s less than 5mm:eek

Yep, thats exactly it.

I think we\'ve both got the same problem on that one.

Not much to report tonight as we\'re waiting for the inlet gasket set to come in from Chris at ReWorx (life saver, thanks mate)

so just a solitary pic of the gearbox oil cooler that Demon Tweeks kindly sent me today.  

[Sicknote]

Just a quick update.

I\'ve asked Danny to organise the Rear wing stansions that he\'s re-designed.

The engineers came in today and took away the inlet manifolds and fuel rails to re-design and fabricate the injector positions.

And I\'ve ordered up all the engine side fuel connectors for the bulkhead, fuel rails and FPR.

Nothing in the way of pics but at least things are moving again.

Tomorrow we weld up the holes in the passenger floor pan and paint it.

Glad to see things coming along.. That flex heatshield you re using.. Is it self adhesive? Does it have a glass fibre backing layer for insulation like gentex? I need to get some more of that stuff. The last stuff I had was not self adhesive. But very good.
