More updates - to make it up to MSA blue book standards for multiple series'. Fancy a round or two of TimeAttack (basically to MSA regs), and some rounds of the Nippon Challange - MSA regs. Hopefully with the new downpipe and exhaust the car will still come in under 300hp or my plans for the GT300 class in the Nippon are scuppered :lol: Dont fancy racing it in the GT500 :O Might need to get some changes to the map done ;)

So.... bought....

Corbeau Revolution Excel
OMP FIA 495mm HighProfile side mounts for seat
OMP FIA weld in seat frame bars
LifeLine FIA 2.25 plumbed in extinguisher
MSA approved Rain Light
2x Master cut off switches (1 for cabin, 1 for exterior)

Car is away getting FIA Multipoint cage welded in as of today :) I have the BEST WIFE IN THE WORLD! She organised this for my birthday :D

I'm also considering buying one of those arch rolling things (arm with a skateboard wheel) to roll the aches, maybe even flare them to get some 225 tyres under the arches. Anyone got any tips before I dive in and wreck my lovely clean arches?

Depending on tyre profile, i.e. square edge or rounded and how stiff/low you may get away with not having to roll the arches. 225 section 888s may just fit. Worth a try first.

I had mine rolled because 225 section Bridgestone RE 040s are very square edged. Even so, they only hit on wallowy undulations with a half ton of cr@p in the boot.

Also, if you try for rear, -ive camber on hub bolts, watch the tyre to strut, spring perch clearance. There ain't a lot :)

Might be worth giving Paul at Zen a call. They've switched from K-sport to Compbrake this season. Surprised me, because I had an earlier kit of theirs that was err unfinished, but Paul tells me they've got much better.
