the whole week? Blimey alright for some!
On the plus side though you get what you pay for, will be worth the wait I'm sure

As long as you have all the tools and parts you'll able to rebuild it nice and quick.
Is 1degree negative camber on the rear going to be enough for you? Most race cars/track cars are running more like 3 on the rear! We could all have too much for all I know I havnt driven mine with that amount on but iirc the burpspeed race car had a similar amount.

Real shame you have to hide that lovely flywheel in the bell housing.
Its probably a +1 deg shim. remember there is some camber in the axle as stock. You'd have to ask Tony or Fred what ours is running now as weve just re-done it

Have you thought about your lighting yet? I run 2 Seat Supacopa's in Britcar and other endurance championships and the lightpods with PIAA set up on each car work out about £2.5/£3k alone. When your running for about 3 hours constantly at code 60 in Silverstones pea soup fog at 2am then you have all the time in the world to regret a poor decision on lighting!! Also whats your plans for the fuel tank? You can fit a huge ATL tank but Brit car regs only allow you to fill a maximum of 100 litres per stop.
Car is looking great by the way keep up the good work but unfortunatly I know what its going to come back looking like after 24hrs!!!!! Made a start on stripping ours last week after the Dubai 24hr in January and one does not have a straight pannel on the entire car...
Oh an another thing before you get too far in building it back up, invest in some lockwire and do just about every nut on the suspension for peace of mind for the whole 24hrs

Yeh I looked at some light pods and came up with your figures so not cheap. Fuel tank will be 100 litre but wont be done till next year. Guess it will be ATL with nice plumbing
The lockwire idea sounds good and yes I will do that once we are approaching our first enduro event. This year and part of next is getting me and the drivers 6 sigs and some experience, not to mention fun
I like the look of A048's
They seem to get a good review all round along with the new Dunlop Direzza

From April 2011 you now need a Nat A license to race in Britcar Production.
You need to check if this new MSA rule will be different for the 24 Hour.........but I doubt it
You may end up spending big money on a car and have no race....unless you are already going for 6 race signatures on a Nat B license prior to the 24 hour.

Turn in will be slightly better, but not much.

And I would suspect they cost more.

15s are better for track mate. Car handles better on them IMO. Cheaper Tyres are a bonus
Thanks,saved me saying it.

16's are better for brake cooling in endurance 15's are better for handling and cheaper, another suck and see I think.

We are now looking at the Dubai endurance series as previosuly stated, it's cheaper by a longgg margin. This year and all next year I will be running in some of the following to gain sigs and experience.

Track Day Cup

Brake cooling difference would be minimal really. I presume you'll be doing cooling ducts?
BMW Z4
Yeh ducts etc. Matt said it does make a difference. Discussed this at length.
Golf GTD Mk7
True, less spokes, better ventilation. I doubt manufacturers go into that though

I was quoted not far off that from a mate who does all Prodrive stuff,did it my self in the end,wish I hadn't,it's a real ballache getting around the rollcage etc.
Good luck.

£700 for an interior paint...lol
yer thats far to much in my opinion... £200 max surely
spose depends how much prep it needs
as for split rims i have got a lovely set of custom splits (to fit a clio), with track rubber on and in 16"....
sounds like we are thinking along the same lines...
message me if you want offsets or to offer a stupid price for them.

You can get laid up insurance from some companies. Basically Insures the car if it's stolen or burnt to a crisp in your garage but can't go on the road.
I suppose your right about the split rims. Our formula student race car had magnesium split rims and they were a right pain I'm the ar** because we couldn't get the tyres put on easily with out splitting them up first. Bit of a fiddle!
OZ ultraleggers are are light and cheapsish
I got my interiour sprayed for £300 + £30 to remove the rear glass, it was cash in hand and I did all the prep myself (ball ache) and I gave the car already to spray up.

I'm in the wrong business, going to buy myself a paint shop I think!
Id have said that was over priced, I paid £200 for my roof, side trims and spoiler to be prepped and painted to an exterior quality. I admit that the interior is harder to paint but it wouldn't need clearcoat or polishing etc.
I think split rims came about with the need to have different width wheels easily producable
