No mate. I think that will be it for 2014.

Looks great. Credit to Sam he's definitely worked hard and the results are great.

That looks fantastic, good to see it finally finished and being used properly!
Hats off to him for the quality of it all.

@Daniel How is the car without power steering? I think my rack is warn as it makes some funny noises on full right lock and I was considering the power steering delete too but wondered if it would be a bit too heavy without assistance? I've not driven a car without it since my first car!

Absolutely fine. My car has the same setup.

I used mine daily without issue. On track you don't notice anything different really. Around town it's obviously heavier but nothing to worry about.
It's massively cheaper than an air con delete kit too. I paid £17 for a Renault 11 alternator bracket and £6 for a belt.

Just remove all the hydraulic stuff, put a tiny amount of oil in the rack to keep it lubed up and then stick a bolt in each end of the rack.

So if you remove both aircon and power steering pump you only need a different bracket and belt? If so that is a mega saving over the pure motorsport stuff that doesn't seem to last!

Yes mate.

If you search my project (superfastdan extremely long project or similar to that) there are pics in there.

But it's less than £30 plus a bit of your time.

My reasoning behind doing it; less stuff to go wrong, less stuff to mess about with should it need an engine swap.

Thanks mate, appreciate this!

Absolute heap.

Wish Cup BHP had got this level of treatment!

Cup BHP was really bad timing. We both ran out of money/work just as we had to make a decision about racing.

A victim of circumstance if you will.

That grey really is a cracking colour Dan. Car as a whole looks awesome!

 

[Lawro]

That is stunning.. Attention to detail is unbelievable! That's my sort of build, fair play to him.
