so looks like im going to be joining Daniel in the "probably not going to be there" camp now for the mk1 although im still going to crack on and try.
I've resigned myself to the fact that mine won't be ready so we've bought another 182 for the burpspeed day. Collecting it tonight.

Too low for what?
I wouldn't want to parellel park it that's for sure as visibility is a bit worse sat that far back, but I see no downside on track really. You're not sat very low in the seat, my crash helmet is within a couple of inches of touching the roof still.
My mini trackday car was very similar to this for example and that was fantastic to drive.
Forgot to update a couple of weeks ago, I actually drove this around briefly.
Clutch cable went though and it was last day of the MOT, so I will have to wait till I have a new MOT till I can drive it again now.
No rush though as having a few months off from trackdays now anyway. Will aim to have it out either for bedford in feb or combe in april.
With the honda engine?
If you want an extra pair of hands mate just holla
I think I'll be around a bit more
No mate, with the Williams lump, I want the mrs to get a year of trackdays in it N/A to really get a feel for the car first before I go doubling the power, my schedule has slipped cause of our phase 1 turbo that I never intended to have when I started this thread, but cause of that it means I have the perfect opportunity now for her to get used to the more racey feel of a car like this on moderate power (pedal box with no servo etc), but also to get used to the power delivery of a turbo in the phase 1, so will be aiming to get her out in both cars over the next year to get her some more experience, she is pretty good in her 172, but thats a very basic spec so much easier to drive than either of these 2.
Hands as skilled as yours are always wanted mate (edit: on cars, that sounded well gay, lol), just tell me when you are free!
Pleased to here it mate
Let me know if you guys fancy going out for a meal one evening etc now you are practically on our doorstep.
Also why no servo?
Not a bad idea, I take it your going to build the honda engine up over the next year?
Race pedal boxes never tend to run servos, its just more weight and complexity that you dont really need, but the firmer pedal takes some getting used to when you get rid of them if you are used to driving with them.Also why no servo?
PMSL! Just a tad! More likely give me a text when your on it mate and I'll more than likely be around. It'll be weekend evenings as I'm on nights still.
BECAUSE RACECAR

Aye sounds good. I've come up with a plan too, could do with talking it over with you at some point.
Have you driven without one? I imagine it will give a firmer feel which I like the sound of tbh. I always found even with an upgraded OEM setup it still felt a bit soft for me.
