Can't beat the noise!

@NorthloopCup I've got the same SPA gauge, yet to fit it or even plan to yet though! Will you be using a thermostatic sandwich plate for the readings? where did you get the gold plug from please also? Just reminded me I need to order one myself for when I do an oil change. Have you got one...

Wow I was slow there!! I had never heard of the oil pump mod so I'd never have been searching for it :wink:

The one in the original post looks proper cheap to me! Some nice bits on that which almost add up to the list price on their own. Would get the map checked if I was interested in it though.

How did you skin the bonnet so cleanly?

I can't wait to see this finished either!

When you take the normal door card off mate it's easy to see. It's just the bolt for the support bracket for the glass. I've taken the mechanism and brackets out, just put the bolt through the hole in the door like normal and the plastic is tightly sitting on top of it.

Is there? lol. I''ve honestly not come across it once....

All it needs to do is get the car up so you can get stands under it though, then you can just remove the ply and put it inside again until you want the car down.

That is properly awesome

Ahhh good Idea!!! Never thought about that. Might try it in future. Nothing worse than having to push the car back and forth just to find a big section of paving which isn't going to buckle the jack wheels

Car looks great!! How on earth do you jack your car up on a pebble driveway?? does it not just wedge into the floor when coming down? I have enough trouble on an old crazy paving driveway!

What cnuts!! Feel for you chap, the car was stunning :(

Oil pump to be fettled with?

They're not lockable as such, but they are lockable in the fact that there are tiny nylon lock nuts on the inside and you can't undo them or open them from the outside. The window is just a big square hole rather than four holes, and the slider is what slides across to cover it. I haven't...

So am I lol. Talent>Balls>Upgrades

It is indeed mate :)

I would like to do it mate, as well as Cadwell and Rock. Always just depends on the date and how it ties in with work for me.

One a month hopefully. Silverstone GP on the 15th Feb is my first of the year.

If I was using the car on the road then I definitely wouldn't have them. Would make maneuvering around a right pain in the arse, even getting onto the trailer can be difficult! But I've removed everything from inside the door now, including all the wiring loom. That combined with the high up...

Thanks man. Slower than yours now though, with all your fancy fiberglass panels lol! Especially with me behind the wheel haha!

I'm not a fan of the 996 because of the egg headlights, but your one does look epic. I think the GT2 styling or kit you've got makes a massive difference, it looks awesome and meas as f**k from the rear! Love the seats and shifter too.

I would never do it either, not worth the worry for me. Although plenty of people do with no issues. If you're going to do it, get the best ones you can buy, H&R Trak+ I think they're called, they come with steel threaded inserts. Don't get any cheap s**t. I have a 5mm spacer on the front...

The weld in frames, you buy and just weld them in where you want them. Then the seats/side mounts bolt directly to them. Very simple See here..

I have them on mine. I also have this air scoop on them. So get plenty of air into the car, it properly sucks it in. But the main reason I have these is for security. It means no one can open the slider or put their hands in. I'll probably be selling my whole front window kit soon.

Attention to detail is ridiculous. Lovely car this! @GW200

Nothing has happened yet by the way mate... I've only just fitted the RC6s. (DS2500s lasted me 8500 miles for reference) I was only saying that I couldn't be dealing with changing them every couple of track days in relation to cpaterson's comment of them only lasting 200-300 miles for him.

That's what I'm saying. Would be long for me having to change pads every 2-3 months. Especially if yours are lasting that long.

If I could get half of that I'd be happy.
