Here we go Jamie.
These are around £200 a go from E-May, good ol Chinese product and Steve tells me that forums say, anything more than thin alloy will need some lumps of iron welding across the two flat bars to strengthen the thing up.

Cool thanks Clive,

Those Metz tools are ok actually, I bought a shrinker/stretcher in June to make the buck for the diffuser.

For 200 quid on a swager, it’s not worth getting ya hands dirty trying to make one

Strut brace is now feeling very blue 

Steve's getting on with the front end, splitter and new style canards,

Next step.

Thanks to the director who had to have a lay down afterwards, I now have a new nose on the race car.

"allegedly" Steve played some sort of part, obviously guided by his director  . 

[Jamie R]

Looking great Clive, let's hope all the hard efforts pay off.

When's the next attempt at kicking that civics ass?

[clive]

Off for a remap next week,   then an Allcomers event at Brands on the 18th August  to get a feel for the car again,  then back to Track Attack series September 15th  @  Mallory Park

Direct from a private collector at the Haynsford institute of modern art we are ecstatic to be able to offer this stunning 3 dimensional piece of art,

originally entitled “splitter” now re-titled Completely Remodelled Artistic Piece, although not exactly cubist in style you can see the artist has drawn heavily from both the cubist and crumpled style of art,

this is a multi-textured piece incorporating sharp edges, flaking paint and gravel rash, very few artists can claim to include such varied and diverse styles in their art,

Interest has been forthcoming from both Tate modern and the Smithsonian who have both offered around 1.000.000 Iranian rial, if anyone is interested in bettering this offer it will be considered,

This is a once in a lifetime offer never to be repeated “hopefully”

There is a sister piece of art available to complement this. It was produced by the same artist at the same time, its entitled “grass cutting at speed” and comes from the artists yellow period, this piece is offered complete with its own grass and dirt attached.

Please feel free to submit your offers
