Alright Guys it’s been way way too long!
Between waiting on some parts, exceptionally warm weather [emoji23], little bit of snow, few holidays and a festive season, nothing has been done on the car since beginning of December.
Yeasterday was the day when next stage of the build has...
People complain about half an inch of snow going in to complete panic over big freereze! Me, I wish we have more snow more often! And that they could let us do trackdays in those conditions [emoji41]

Sorry mate for a late reply.
Why inside the car? #becauseracecar [emoji14]
Contact Mitch from pro-line motorsport. He will hook you up with lines etc. But to be fair there is always more than one way to skin a cat [emoji6]

I actually had no issues fitting the kit at all. Apart from one pipe from master cylinder was m10 and I needed both M12 apparently. But Mitch sent one Free of charge next day.
The only slight niggle I have with it is one of the rear pipes a little too long so kinda had to loop it a bit. Other...
Thanks mate :) I try :)

Hi guys. Quick one here.
What is the hole position supposed to be on the alternator?
I got 75amp version from eBay ages ago. And now trying to fit PMS pulley kit but the thing won’t fit. Seems to be hitting the top bracket.
The one I have is like this
But there is also this version on...
