91 was the worst its done so far

edit, that includes runs on the dyno though and 2 days on the 1/4 mile and other abuse. drive it like a normal car it isnt bad on fuel.

Can't you do it in 6th or will that create too much heat before the run is complete?

will ask the jdm see what he says about it. i dont think it would get too hot as it seems alright on the dyno due to some mental fan he has

started taking the wiring out the back end so i can rattle can the boot floor and finish removing the seat mounts a whole nearly 3 years after i started.

also moved the power wires and earths for battery so they go to the passenger side instead of appearing from the spare wheel well side. battery turned round also. no pics.

then my mate slick got me some of that loom wrap stuff thats a matt sort of tape. so tidied the wires up with that and ran them a touch better.

from

to a bit nicer looking

not finished or clipped back in etc though. looks more pleasant.

hope to get boot floor fillered and primered before weekend and try and rattle can it on the weekend. only doing up to the front seats. leaving front part of floor till another time when i can be bothered.

well, in a bit of a debate at the moment wether i should paint the floor or not. kinda might not bother and wait till i got a roll cage sorted for it. not entirely sure really. might just fire the wiring back in, fit rear carbon door cards and be done with it for a few weeks until some cage appears.

Is it going to be a bolt in or welded cage that your getting? No point painting it if its going to be weld in, ruin the paint.

straight up light weight edition coming up. perhaps not.

cool. filler and that to go on the arches then tiny bit on floor where chiselled other mounts off then bit prime and a bit paint with smokey grey.

Thats a nice lump of wood there with stickers all over it.

Should bolt it to the floor and claim it adds eleventy million BHP
