Cheers Fellas,

 

Progress is going to be very slow over the next month or two as I am looking after the kids full time.

 

Two thoughts for the interior, 1. keep it standard and just add some Recaros. 2. Strip it out, panel with lashings of carbon fibre and have a cage and two bucket seats. :D

I give my vote for the second interior style :grin: (it's the way I'm planing to do with my interior)

Sukh cheers for the Rad, shame it hasn't stopped (much slower now though) the coolant loss, so the rest of pipes are next.

 

Have a chat with Andy (Yeti) he has some very nice race seats for sale! :lol:

 

So want a go in this when it's running

Hi mate,

 

Shame about the leeks, had the same prob on my valver. check the very small pipe behind the rads lower hose (its tapered and a few inches long only), mine had a split that was facing the engine block, so was impossible to see.

 

Thought Andy was keeping his seats now?? They are nice tho :luvlove:

 

Hopefully get out and about to some meets when its done, so will give you a blast round LOL

Cheers for the pointer... am considering a full 9a Samco Kit to go on the 9a (less the two heater pipes) and maybe a pump swap out as well... that way all the major components are done...

Minor updates.....been doing mostly fiddly small stuff. E.g. fabed up a rad bracket and water res mount, now finally fitted the rad including slimline fans.

Sukh you've done a cracking job there mate, looks like it'll be a monster on the road, glad your gonna enjoy it for a bit before you sell her though!

 

After seeing yours i should have been put of by the amount of headaches and hassle you had gettiing it to work... but instead i'm starting to fit 4wd into mine! will need a few basic questions answered at some point about the rear end as i've dove in head first without thinking about exavtly what i need! lol
