Nice work @Martin. like the brackets :up:
Car sounds great.
I'm at Bedford tomorrow RS day but I may pop down for the day if I am not doing anything and grab a passenger ride if that's ok.
Not sure what the difference is but when I was thinking of itb's I spoke to a company called Titan and theirs look very good not cheap though.

Too late for you now but if you did just want to mover the wheel closer the BG spacer looks good for the money, I have a OMP one and it does allow you to find the best position.

I may try them after my RC6's wore down to about 1mm at Oulton and they produced so much heat they melted the piston rubber seal and the fixing lugs on my wheel centre caps and the valve cap covers lol
I have been using RC6 for my last 4 track days and the stopping power is fantastic, Oulton park finished them off.
With the pad material getting thin I think the extra heat melted the rubber piston seal so I need to rebuild the callipers now, the discs are fine but even if they do wear quick...
I was finding that it did not want to rev freely when coming out of corners, last year in the R it felt like it just wanted to launch itself forward this did not.
When I was using DS2500 halfway through the pad I had a vibration through the wheels when braking hard, stripped the calipers...
I drove the cup s in the morning and though the same felt very under powered, the trophy R last year was a weapon but this just felt strange.
My brakes felt fine all day but at the end of the day when I was changing my wheels over I noticed my pads were almost none existent about 1-2mm of...
Thanks for the good comments and pics @Alistair14 :smile:
Even though it is only a track car I still want it to look it's best, it is always washed the next day after I have done a track day and has a machine polish once a year.
Just read this looks like you have a fantastic car Martin and I like the attention to detail with everything you have done.
You will have to take me out in it one of the days if we are at the same track.
I have the Halfords one, it fits the car perfect.
It will put fine scratches on if it is taken on and off regular or dragged across the car but unless you spend lots on a cover I think they will all be the same, I would have another one if mine got damaged.
