Few parts started to arrive for the car , and had a bit of time now I'm home from work to start going through the car .
Looks to have a lot of nice parts but also a few bodges so will take a little bit more work than I thought.
I have got some oil temp and pressure gauges , may use the temp one...
Wow big changes Craig. Will be good to see how you put your own mark on this car.
I would be tempted to change the headlining to black if your going to re cover it.
I agree the Porsche was a better car in almost every way and like I have said will probably be the best car I will ever own , BUT this will do most of what the porsche did for less than half the cost and also probably be more fun on track.
Still away with work so still not drove this properly yet 😧
Have ordered a few parts ready to fit when I get home , baffled sump, oil cooler and a few little interior parts.
Ive also ordered a set of wheels and AD08 tyres to use on the road .
I have talked to a motorsport fabricator...
These cars run a 4x100 wheel so a lot more options that the S1 that had a weird pcd.
With my car having the gt3 clams it's a good bit wider they normally run a 7.5 x17 on the back I have a 9 x17 but really need a lower offset to remove the spacer that's fitted justnow.
Ash doesn't have it any more he sold it to big Will Pedley , but that car was converted to 5 stud and ran BMW CSL wheels. Should be a cool car though with Wils skills and it's getting a 1.6 ecoboost engine.
I think it's going to be a hard car to find wheels for bar going to something like image or braid custom wheels.
I've seen one on volks and liked it but think the dark bronze colour will work well with the green.
He sold it a while ago , i believe he was a friend of the guy that originally built it.
If you search under LOTZILLA on you tube there is a vide o from when he was telling it.
I'm sure you will end up changing your mind once everyone else is out playing.
The fiesta went a while ago , ended up replacing it with a X5. The lotus is replacing the Porsche , as weekend toy.
Couple more pics , have a few little planned jobs to cary out over winter.
1.Hate the carbon dipped interior parts so these will be getting flocked.
2.Need to adjust the drivers door glass for a better seal
3.Fancy a change of wheels or wheel colour
Wheel style / colour I'm...
It's certainly a ' big gay wing ' but function over form. The rear diffuser is fairly large aswell.

Yip I had a revo stage 4+ car that we then fitted stage 1 cams , Loba hybrid turbo. I think it was the first car to do 500 bhp on a hybrid , rather than a turbo/ manifold swap.
Got the centres back and first wheel built , unsure if I'm going to fit my Cup tyres to these or leave the Contis on. The cups are brilliant but would really make there summer/dry weather wheels.
Think i paid £15 for 4 posted , i have removed 1 to check and no dirt has been getting through. I covered the coilovers in chain wax before fitting the covers.
The LM's will be going back on at some point Im tempted to split them over winter and do the centres BBS Gold.
I did get offered a set of BBS E88 centre lock wheels but would mean a hub conversion.
