New seats arrived today!
Boot-lid put back on.
Wheels on!

The guys at stainless creations (Falkirk) did the same thin with their boot lid. Is yours strong? Do you remove the webbing?

[J-1]

It was Graydon (Stainless Creations) that done the BMIC, exhaust, heat-shield, cage install and boot lid. Top work and good value for money.

My boot lid was based on theirs.
Some webbing removed and it is strong!
Will get photos of underside tomorrow.

Just had a read of the whole tread top work ,

Which turbo are you running a stock ct20b ?

Can you tell much difference in spool time /lag with the boot mount over side mount cooler ?

[J-1]

Thanks mate. It's come a long way since day 1... Never thought I'd take a jig-saw to my dash when I first bought the car... Oh well

Stock turbo (at the moment!). I haven't driven the car since the addition of the BMIC was made. Should be good! Need to get it on the dyno to get the boost reset and see what power it's making now. Previously made 258rwhp. Would like to think it'll be somewhere around 10rwhp more (based on others cars I have encountered with same mods.

Track night on the 20th. 2 hour open pit which is perfect since I've not been out in it in over a year!

The engine will let go at some point so when it does I need to think about what's next for it, but I already know!

Been reading this thread since I joined up, car looks spot on mate, looking forward to seeing it on track!

[J-1]

Thanks mate.

[J-1]

Car will be finished this week and back on the road.

First track day on the 16th.

[stephano]

WOW this is flying along mate great work, id be up for popping along to a track with you and Ash one day

[ashley]

Good work buddy- you're gonna love it

And a big YES to a combined trackday- sounds like a fantastic idea

[J-1]

Sounds brilliant!

What be the most central track for the three of us? I'm right in the middle of Glasgow and Edinburgh, Scotland....

Stephano, have you received your Wilhelm Geo kit yet?

[stephano]

i dont mind a trip up to Scotland for a holiday/track sesh as long as they dont have sound limits

i dont expect to get my geo kit until late may early june tbh
The way our FANTASTIC customs scum are behaving lately it'll prob be in the uk by now but wont clear for 3+weeks.

[ashley]

A trip to Scotland would be good, or maybe Anglesea- I love that track...not sure when I'll have my car ready though...maybe late summer

[Magic Beans]

Meet in the middle at Donington Park

[ashley]

One slight problem...Donnington are strict on noise limits

...but otherwise that would be great

[stephano]

well im around 105db @ 4500rpm

and thats off boost

[ashley]

It's your side exit screamer that'll get you black flagged mate

[J-1]

Knockhill has no limit. Certainly on open pit sessions....

Knockhill has no limit. Certainly on open pit sessions....

How do you find their open pit sessions?? I have never been on one (driven their Ferrari once, but never my own car ) but I have heard a lot of mixed reviews — bellends in cheapo cars that don't care much for your bumper etc.
