Engine Build finished and wheels changed :)

[Cub.]

Cracking work bro, I've just finished a 14 hour day and I've not even checked CS once! Missed all this.

It looks superb mate, actually better than it did in my head. I love the black wheels (and I hate black wheels) it looks so aggressive!

Cheers brosef. Need a big unit or little unit BBQ in the diary, swing it round for some detailing loving! I was unsure on the black, but seems to have worked well.

Cheers Matt, shame it's not heading over to the ring with you lot, but I'm broke! Lol!

It was an Oreca 330mm race one that I bought new, then had it Powdercoated white, bought the stickers from Ady (n2grafix) off here and then lacquered over the whole lot. I really wanted the Sabelt one, but hate the fact the top comes in blue. Nothing on my whole car is blue. So I made my own for the sake of my OCD! Ha ha!

Fair play on the white bits, it looks very nice!

Well done sir,

Top work! My Sabelt is looking a bit sorry for itself. Need to get it retrimmed!

Thanks Coops, I really rate it, but mine was easier to fit than others, and it seems very was to find gears etc. I think to depends on exhaust type as to how easy it is to fit / how well it works.

I know some of the racers (russ rallye) had problems with missing 'swift' gear changes. I loved it in Wales though, performed excellently for me.

 

[Coops Mk1]

interesting

I may have a slightly bigger set of hurdles is all as my '172' track car is actually the b*****d child of a phase 1 172 shoehorned into a mk1 shell. so fitment could be a bit of a swine.

 

[R-Sport.]

Stunning. flame red - >All.

 

[Christopher]

Amazing. Swap for a 200?
