The interior is just :hearteyes:
Few parts started to arrive for the car , and had a bit of time now I'm home from work to start going through the car .
Looks to have a lot of nice parts but also a few bodges so will take a little bit more work than I thought.
I have got some oil temp and pressure gauges , may use the temp one for the gearbox to start with to get an idea of how hot the box actually gets.
Unfortunately due to a mix up at the dvla the V5 got lost , so have now had to re apply, this has also meant i can't road tax the car
Did get my road wheels mounted up and adjusted the ride height up as it was set at 105 front /115 rear when loaded with 75kg in each seat.

Awesome machine
Thanks I have a feeling its going to take a while to get use to but going to be a fun little car to own.
Just had it aligned this morning , going for a mid point between road and track also had it weighed and its heavier than I thought it would be at 915kg with full fuel :fearscream:
Over the next two days i plan to strip the rear clam off fit baffled sump, oil coolers and try to make some form of useable boot space while trying to keep weight down as much as possible.

So today the car came to bits, and is now in the rebuild stage complete with now having a boot/storage space .
Looks cool with the roof off.
Rear spoiler,roof and rear clam removed
Rear storage box , front is covered in a double layer of heat barrier with around 2" of clearance from the manifold. Still have access to the battery and have air flow either side to allow heat to escape through the rear vents.
Rebuild started with new seals around the top of the clam
I have also mounted a 16 Row Mocal oil cooler in the nearside vent , and fitted a baffled sump . Cooler take off will be here tomorrow then I can get the piping finished for that.

Oil cooler is now fitted in the nearside rear , I will monitor temps and if needed vent the arch liner to increase flow.
Gauges now fitted and wired
Ive also added extra bracing to the front splitter as it was flexing above 80mph and actually hitting the road, I also had to modify a front tow post to work with the gt3 clam.

Lol. That splitter is just ridiculous.
The colour was the main thing that attracted me to the car , which is weird as don't really like BRG .
Had the car out today and happy to say the front end no longer flexes and hits the road and can now stand on the splitter .
Ive still to make two little trim pieces for the side of the boot box, but atlas now have somewhere to put stuff if going for a run or to a track day.

easy, frees up cash and leaves you with a car that is still fun and lends itself more to trackdays

Ah ok. I didn't realise that is what Neil wanted.
It is fairly huge but actually not too bad on the road I clear the same speed bumps that I did in the Porsche. The splitter leads onto a full flat floor and rear diffuser. I now have the mid tray fitted under the engine with naca ducts to feed air to the sump and gearbox.

That's gorgeous!
Thanks :up:
I'm looking forward to the better weather and actually getting some use out of it , a mix of crap weather and being away so much with work means I've only did a couple of hundred miles in it
Can tell its going to be fun but definitely need ear plugs on a longer run with the supercharger being 8" behind your head

oddly i love your garage. Always get a bit of garage envy when you post pics.
When I bought the car I new the previous owner had the Nitrons revalved and spring rates change by corneringforce , what I didnt know was this was only part of the package it should have had.
The package Corneringforce had put together was meant to run adjustable front and rear roll bars , standard they dont run a rear. By running adjustable bars you can run springs that are a lot softer than would normally be used to give the best mix of road and track use.
Front bladed bar can be adjusted in second on the car
Rear is 3 position adjustable like the whiteline clio ones

I had heard about these engines breathing heavy so thought i would be better to fit catch cans if I'm going to track it , went with Sector11 quick cans.
Look to be well thought out as far as separation but not overly impressed with the fit, I'm not sure if there as meant for NA cars as one of the hoses rubs on the intercooler mount bracket so will have to mod that a little.
Also fitted a removable wheel to make getting in and out a little easier.

Awesome sized garage

That is one awesome looking exige :hearteyes:
Fairly heavy though isn't it...that'll take the edge off the performance. This S1 I built weighs 700 kilos and has just over 300hp N/A :smiley:
