Nice new Airfilter - thank you K&N UK

Been making a mock up of my ally dash so I can get that made up next week - thank you chantelle :p

Fitting some bits under the car today - Coilovers are going on, finishing poly bush the rear end.

Need to start working out the measurements for all the oil and brake lines so I can get them made up.

i know a guy who makes carbon parts
would need to check but if you made a template he might make it out of carbon fiber
?

OMG what a mental week I\'ve had at work

been mental....so with that in mind I\'ve struggled to do any work on it this week

but managed to crack a few hours out the other night so have a little update for you all...

Managed to work out where and how to mount the oil catch tank, still not 100% happy but its staying there for now.

Accusump is all fitted just need to plumb it in and work out how to use it lol

Battery is all bottled down and wired up

Along with kill switch and main fuses...

Got the oil cooler where I want it and just got to make brackets and a little protective casing for it.

And more wiring.................

have a few more toys that arrived today so they will be going on tonight and then hopefully get some more work done on sunday

it may even be running wooooooooooohoooooooooo!!!!!

Still having clutch issues - been on the phone/email to Spec Clutch - America and they have been very very helpfull and are sending me another clutch plate as we think this one is damaged.

Wiring is all finished, just need to run a few p-clips round the new loom to tidy it up

Brake lines/clutch lines are all run and brakes have been bled.

Thank you very much to Performance Plastics for the windows :thumbs:

Big thank you to Chantelle and Brian @ PAG Sheet Metal for my awesome dash and all the metal fab work on the car - its away being flocked as we speak

Just need to mount the oil cooler now and change the oil, get a few little problems out the way and then we\'re ready for bodywork :p woooo hooooo!!!
