if your getting GRP or ABS wide arches then it might be a good idea to either have a mold made of them or do it yourself, brings costs down if you have another wee bump and cant fix the origional ones

i find repairing GRP easier than metal thats for sure.
Arch is all fixed, and painted. Will get it re-wrapped on friday morning.
Geometry to get checked out on thurs eve.
Brakes bled.
re-made alu angle bar frame for wing support.
fixed rear light cluster, and made some temp mounts for the rear bumper.

Its sprayed white now but not a good colour match for white vinyl, so getting the panel re-wrapped.
its not perfect though, and i'd have liked to have spent more time on it....

yup, cheers
I think the full bucket seat with head/neck protection and the neck brace did fee a lot of good during the crash. Her neck/Back is nowhere near as sore as when i crashed with her in the passenger seat.

turbos will need some attention. The car is smoking a wee bit, and there was a bit too much oil in the IC pipework at Oulton.
Options are to buy a 2nd pair of GT2860-5's (HKS 2530 equiv) and then either sell or refurb and keep ours as spare or just move up a notch with the GT2860-10's (HKS GT-RS equivs)
I want to buy a few more bits and bobs ont he front susp. Camber and caster adjustment etc.
I think the main priority for this year will just be keeping it runing. Its got enough power now, but it costs a lot to keep these cars on track

I bet it does, how much you reckon you've threw at it now? must be well worth it though if you can afford to do it, something I'd love to get into but atm I don't have cash, and certainly not on the scale that this car has had

Round 3 - Silverstone
Fee beat her 2008 lap time by 3 secs, and finished 7th in class, with 40points
1m05.9
Looking at Fee's trap speeds at the end of the back straight :O she has pretty big balls as i think thats a braking zone haha. The start/finish speed trap is on the power.
results for club class final
ordered some Front upper camber arms to get some 'more' negative camber on the fronts.
Ordered some adjustable front tension rods to get some caster
New 'stay' for the spiltter on its way... for free Thanks again to CarbonMods
