Been a year to the day since my project was updated, it's really messy to view/look through, so started a new 'easy to read' version I'll keep on top of.
I'm going for 80-90% track focused, not a daily but used for the road. I'll be keeping most of the electrics incl the heater and A/C and be slowly upping the power while remove as much weight as functionally possible.
Target Weight - 900kg (Standard kerb weight:1035kg)
Target Power - 140-150bhp/ton (Standard 118bhp/ton)
01/02/15 - Rolling Road Day at AMD showed 138.4 bhp at the wheels, weight will be very near 900kg once lightweight bonnet and some other bits are removed meaning I'm close to hitting the upper target of 150bhp/ton!
Intention is to have a little bit more poke on the straights but most all have more fun on the bends!
Most recent works included:
Replacement fexi on the 421 and custom support mount fitted by Flowtech 15/11/15
Latest Developments
Lightweight Track Lamp Shields (DIY Creation)
Waiting on arrival of Carbon Wrapped Fibreglass mtec Bonnet

what it looked like when I picked it up..
2000 1.7 on 79k now, after buying had full service, cambelt rocker gasket and waterpump change. mudflaps, eibach springs, rear beam/front lower/front rear PF bushes, piper panel filter, gel badges, flat wipers, smoked side lens, osram bulbs.
Initially had a Powerflow Backcat fitted for a gutsy sound, but was just far too loud so kept the centre section and fitted a standard backbox which later wad swapped for a 3" Piper. Currently mated it to a Sportex 4-2-1 off ebay I refurbished, used- thinners, kurust, wire pipe cleaner, Rustoleum Heatpaint 650c and heatwrap.
