I dont wet anything. All done dry.

I use hexpress wrap which is pretty much the best.

i dont im afraid.

car hasnt been out of the garage in weeks

ive not got much to do now before its ready.

ive had to get a new fuel pump as the plastic around the wires split



so hopefully receiving that tomorrow, then once thats in the tank its just the spoiler to mess, the splitter to mount then stick the 2 skins together of the hardtop and then i can take it to RStuning in leeds to see how much its running lean by.

finished my fuel pump off tonight

the old pump was a walbro 255 but had starvation issues when mapping the harrop on someone elses car. (he made 377bhp)

many have decided to get a swirl pot to sort this out but i decided to get an uprated intank pump.

specs of both

Old Pump
Flow Ltr/Hr (Max):- 318
Flow Ltr/Hr @ 3 Bar (44psi):- 255
Flow Ltr/Hr @ 5 Bar (73psi):- 225
Max Pressure:- 8.5

New Pump
Flow Ltr/Hr (Max):- 510
Flow Ltr/Hr @ 3 Bar (44psi):- 390
Flow Ltr/Hr @ 5 Bar (73psi):- 285
Max Pressure (Bar):- 7.5

and pics

front end now done..

think i might need to lower the front a little, but i need to wait till the suspension has settled first before deciding, it looks a little high here tho..

Bonding the 2 skins together...

It should be fine but im going to put some small black socket head capped bolts through the scoop just incase it does come apart i am not going to loose it.



I had to modify the bracket a little with some bigger holes so i could move it up so when you bolt it down it grips the hardtop mounts better

got the roof on the car and locked it down and the fix i did to the scoop just altered, i guess the way the roof sits on the car is different to how it sits on a table.

anyway.. this is the look i got when i bolted it down





pretty bad really..

so this time i set about fixing it whilst it was on the car.





its not prefect but the original used for the mould is bad if you look closely and i cant be arsed spending any more time on this.

moving to the back, the brace bar for the diffuser is all rusty so im going to sand it back and give it a coat of paint.



1/2 sanded
