JohnSt Posted May 5, 2008 Author Posted May 5, 2008 (edited) Made a start today, felt a bit slow going as I spent most of the day painting stuff. Painted the whole of the underside of the car and all of the wee brackets and bits and bobs that will be going back under there. Made a steering joint to convert from Classic column to Newage STi Quick rack. Fitted the front subframe and Rack inc. some Gucci bits courtesy of Cusco Kid. Here are a few pics of the results: Front Sub Frame and STi Quick Rack My Undercarrage, from the rear.... Oooh Errr !! Whiteline Anti Roll Bar and Extended Track Rod End More Gucci bits still to fit Edited May 5, 2008 by JohnSt
colin_ross Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 It's too clean for a race car. Hurry up and get it dirty already.
st3ph3n Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 I'll be down at Kames for the unveilling I hope. It's looking great though John. The question is - with a new shiny race car will you be less commited for fear of breaking it?

Casper Spec D Posted May 11, 2008 Posted May 11, 2008 Hi mate,Am a newbie to the site and a have just read the thread and a have to you.This is modafiction at a fantastic level.good luck with the project.
JohnSt Posted May 13, 2008 Author Posted May 13, 2008 (edited) Hi Dougie, long time no see Bud !! How are the family ? Cheers Casper, in fairness I'm getting excellent help from some very good guys Had a productive, though frustrating couple of days. Got the broken Box out of the car with help from Kenny.S (he can't stay away from Scoobies ) started to rebuild the box tonight to find the new front driveshaft oil seals were the wrong ones so had to abandone that plan. Trimmed down the rear car electrical loom to what it needs to be, and it's now about a third of the weight it was. The dash loom will be much more of a challenge but I expect to see much greater weight saving, so worth it. ---john--- Edited May 13, 2008 by JohnSt
st3ph3n Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 Blimey John. Trimming down the looms. You really are going to the last degree in getting the weight of this thing right down. Is there much weight in the wiring?
