I said white wheels look good, not those white wheels ?

I like that for a track car!

however what has happened to CS when this is acceptable, in 2010 you would have been banned!

Not at all, decals/livarys done properly will always look great

Just thought I'd post the latest update on here. The results from my earlier post about the photoshoot I did in the snow in the Lake District for PFC.

The magazine arrived in the post this morning and after a good morning of reading it I'm pleased with the results.

Just waiting for the photographer to send me the files now for safe keeping.

Thoughts on the feature?

More updates soon!

That really does look great. Very hard to livery up a car and make it still look classy. Hats off to you, it’s epic

Thank you mate. Appreciate the kind words. I think a lot of it is down to the colour of the car itself. Racing blue is great base.

Car made it on Pistonheads Car of the week. Pretty happy with that, given all the other projects on their.

Thank you both. Yeah I'm really pleased with the mag feature. Ha! Oh the battery cover, got that from some desperate bloke in a group buy! Crazy what you find on here...

See this at Caffeine and Machine earlier, looks great ?

 

[Jekyll]

Looked great in the flesh on saturday. Was good to meet you and your friend and as I said, still the best car in this years calendar ?

 

[cliocollins]

Back home safely and packed away until the next meet later in the month. Pleased I got a CSF19 sticker to add to the rear.

Great event. Great day overall.

How have I only just found this thread! Awesome looking car mate, huge fan of the livery. Suits the car down to a tee.

Ha! Thank you mate. Took a risk with it and it's paid off imo. Glad you like it too.

Update

Decided to give 'Light Painting' a go using only basic tools this evening, found out my Huawei Phone has a Light Painting feature so I practised using this with a LED torch and phone tripod.

Hardest thing is finding somewhere dark enough to create a good image. It's my first attempt with anything photography related, no doubt I'll give it another shot with better equipment next time. Any pointers would be handy for a novice like me.

On a side note I'll be attending the PH Sunday Service on Oct 20th if anyone on here is going as well?

Thanks for looking, more updates soon.

They look great those images mate! Why does it show the reg in reverse though? Is it the way the camera works?

Thanks mate. I'm fairly happy with them, thing is I don't really know what good looks like at the moment.. Yeah I've been trying to work that out. I guess it's just a phone thing. My friends camera doesn't do it?!

Cheers mate, need to update this soon. Now I've fitted the new pads & braided hoses.

Update : Winter Rebuild

I've not updated this in a while and the car has been somewhat neglected due to a recent house purchase. It's not been moved since later October apart from the odd 'make sure it still starts.. shut the door, wait 2 weeks. Rinse Repeat!'

We've decided due to the lack of use we shall start with the planned rebuild over winter and hopefully have it ready for April next year.

Some of you may of seen earlier in the year I purchased the ATPower ITB's from a member on here, I've been busy buying the smaller items not included with the sale from ATPower ready to fit the entire kit. The largest piece to puzzle yet to be purchased is the ECU. See what Santa brings!

With the above work planned to start in early January, I still need to get a couple of other items;

• PMS A/C Delete
• PMS Breather Plate
• PMS Coil pack Relocation Kit
• 197 Used cams
• Yellow Silicone Hose Kit
• Smaller Radiator (to suit ITB's)
• Powerflex Black Series bushes (Full Kit)

I'm sure I've missed a few items, but that's the bulk. I'll update the thread with pictures soon as we start stripping the car down. If anyone is selling any of the above please drop me a message.

Lastly a quick photo from the last outing back in October I think, visiting a Cars & Coffee meet.
