We have been making progress again:

All pics taken on my phone :blah:

All suspension arms have been off to the blasters & have now been powdercoated.

The rear bracing has been finished:

Under side of the car is all clean an repainted.

Dry build of the new fuel cell out of steel before carbon version is fabricated. It had a nice sump on the bottom & twin -8 feeds.

New boot floor, 95% Carbon sheet :coolsm: (I'm very peased with this little touch

) Many thanks to Dynamix for the Carbon Sheet :thumb:

Few more pics of the cage:

Booking my passenger ride at warp speeeeeeeeeddddddddddd then.
Is there a lad a SHP called Rob as it looks like him in one of the pics??
Cant be many carbon fuel cells about!
Have you done an other engine work since the last event?

I think there is a lad there called Rob. Not sure though.

SHP really are fantastic, they have been 100% straight with me over everything they have done. And have totally exceeded my expectations. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

Enginewise the car may have a CNC head installed and a Map tweek from Gary @ APT

The biggest problem last time was the gear box being mashed and not being able to change gear. According to the logs, my car was pulling the same level of G (when in gear :roll: ) as SMD's that did 7.1secs. So all being well it should be in that territory with a good run. I will be running considerably more boost

We were rushing to get the car ready for the last event, Gary (bless him) really did an awesome job getting then car finished in time. Then there was the added slow down factor of not knowing the car in that level of tune. Believe me when it lights the tyres up in 3rd at 100+mph its quite a sensation

You will be getting a run for sure Lee me old mucker
