Yes it'll be fine, I used super degreaser and White sprite to clean my engine & gearbox. Just make sure you get in all the little nucks and crannies and it'll be fine. Then once it's built up again then run the engine. Ice and hot and it'll bake on (that's if your using VHT Paint)

As bomber says the car will eventually be doing endurance racing so a few wheels will be needed so spending £3000 on 3 sets of wheels is not the best option when you can get 3 sets of Ultraleggers for £1800. Getting them in ET 37 wil mean you only need front hubcentric spacers and you only need...
I'm running the biggest filter they do, the C604D but you can probably get away with a smaller one if you have the DTH bodies. You just need to make sure you have as least 19mm from the end of you trumpets to the inner face of the filter. I also bought the biggest filter as I'm putting 120mm...

The Engine mount/cambelt cover looks a little odd in black. Would have looked...
I guy on here called something like 450bhp or 800bhp had his shell acid dipped and i'm sure i read he lost 30kg. Theres a thread on here somewhere, unfortunatly he had to sell up before finishing the build :(
Hmmmm well under seal and othe sealers weigh roughly 30kg iirc. As its a bare shell have you though about acid dipping and seam welding the shell. That way you will have a very strong and light shell. and once the cage is in you can paint the whole thing.
Re: Latest Update
I'll bring one of my OZ Ultraleggers with me and we can see if it fits over the rear brake! And you can feel how light it is compaired to the wheels you allready have :)
I think Ultraleggeras only come in ET37 which is why you would run 10mm spacer at the back and 25 on the front.
If you can get them in ET27 then thats a bonus and we will then just run a 10-15mm spacer at the front.
