Well the headlight blanks are now done, I had to change my plan as I could not get the duct I had to fit so now I have used the original headlight insert to guide the air to my ktr induction kit.

The edges are not as straight as I wanted but everything I tried to fix it the hole became bigger but the same so I decided to stop before I ran out of headlight lol, hopefully when fitted it won't be as notice able.

Here a couple of pics and one with a old induction filter behind to show how I want it on the car.

Sun strip was on eBay mate, it came as a two part kit so you can choose where tho put the Renault Sport bit
 
Looking spot on there Gaz, I like the cup racer style blanks. So do you swap the blanks over with the original lights when you drive to the circuit or is it a trailer job?

Have you picked the car up yet?

Cheers fella's

Phil what you think to the brakes? I haven't drive mine yet to know.

Sonny for now I will swap them over but Cindy is doing her towing test on the 15th so hopefully will be using a trailer soon. Still not got the car back as Sanj has been having a few problems at the garage, hopefully the 9th now.

So got my car back a couple of weeks ago from the garage and been really busy getting it ready for spa at the weekend here are a few pics of what's been done sorry for the quality but to busy to get the camera out.

As for the diff and gearbox rebuild the car drives great now and feels unbelievable in the corners.

Yeah really looking forward to it Sonny seems ages since I last drove it on track, but the difference should be night and day.

We got back from Spa yesterday and had a great time even though the first day we only got an afternoon session due to snow.

The car performed brilliantly and I'm so impressed with both the diff and the wilwoods. There are some new issues I would like to sort now before I take it on the track but nothing serious.

Also both me and the missis took a lot of lessons with an instructor and at one point he said she was faster than me lol as I had been making a lot of mistakes regarding lines but by the end of the two days he commented on the fact I had gone from an occasional track day driver standard to novice racer and that I most of given myself a good talking too after finding out the missis was faster hahahah

I didn't get any great in car vids as the gopro was eating the battery (maybe because the wifi was on). But here are some pics:

  Cup In bits
Car looks ace in the pics, yours is pretty much exactly how mine will look when finished.

Do you find the brake ducting fouls the wheels?

...and mine pmsl

We should all do a track day would be fun. Swedecup get yourself to Spa in october ;)

Yeah mate quite similar to yours as well I suppose.

Gaz's car has the same brake ducts, headlight covers, sunstrip, wheels etc etc that I have bought and is exactly what i visioned for my thing.

Would love to tbh, I don't think I would take my road car (although a possibility) i'll see how the racer progresses this summer.

Just a few little niggles sonny and the aux belt tensioner has stopped working so will be fitting the puremotorsport pulley kit :)

Swede: the ducts done cause me any problems with the wheels but the pipework did so had the remove them at spa, I will be looking into how to do it soon.

As for 4 blue cups at spa in oct that sounds fun otherwise l am doing the circuitdays ring trip in August also

Hahaha glad you all like.

Northloop it's a great circuit, I am starting to enjoy it more than the ring now to be honest.
 
Agree amazing pics esp the 3rd one down.

Spa is one of my fav tracks, not sure if I like it more than the Ring as a track. Just the agro of TF closures are the main pain for me. Still want to do a closed event at the Ring.

I don't think I will ever love another track as much as the nordschleife mate tbh! I agree though, the spa circuit is awesome! The view from ea rouge back down to the pit area is amazing. Seeing the f1 cars come through there flat out was epic as well!
