Custom made by @Tom Johnson.
Managed to get the top of the dash in today, makes a massive difference visually. Also got my low x seat base and new bucket seat in, just squeezes in next to the cage.

That's one impressive cage. The aero wiper had me stumped for a bit! It should go on the drivers side, you can take the fixing out of the wiper and re-insert it the other way around so that attaches the right way around on the drivers side. :up:
It'll be interesting to follow your progress. :smile:

Is brake cleaner better than white sprite ?

You're not going to clean anything with Sprite mate, if anything you're going to make everything even more sticky.

Proper job. Nicely done!

Few more bits done. Extinguisher is now all plumbed in, one outlet to the engine bay and one to the drivers seat. I forgot to take a picture of this.
I then carefully removed all the unused brackets from inside, every little helps.
I then gave it a clean inside and out.
Just waiting on a new injector to arrive then should be ready to book a track day to test it out. Also need to get the wheel alignment checked.

Looks good this.
How did you bypass the immobiliser

Got half an hour this afternoon so I locked up, Chucked the trade plates in, went to the petrol station, filled her with super and went off to find some country roads to have a spirited 'test drive'. All I can say is wow! I love this car already, I can't wait to drive it in anger on a track.
The brakes are bedding in nicely, they have a great bite to them. The handling is precise and to goes like a rocket, overall I'm very happy.
Just need a non dished steering wheel, this is way too close and a little high. I might look into lowering the column a little - anyone else done this?
In hindsight I wish I'd got a black harness as the red doesn't really go with anything else.
Anyway a few out and about shots.

About time I updated this.
On the test drive I found the dished wheel too close so I swopped it for this which is much better
I then finished the extinguisher plumbing and all cables. Then padded the cage.
Then booked in for an evening session at Cadwell park to finally test the beast out. It started well for an hour... crappy phone pictures.....

I was really enjoying the car, the track, it was amazing until I got a little carried away, touched the grass, spun me a few times and spat me out the other side into the barrier.
Sheared the ball joint, bent wishbone, creased subframe, shuttered disc, bent driveshaft, radiator & headlight along with the panel damage. They damaged the tailgate whilst recovering it onto the lorry. Not a great finish to the day but fun was had before this sad end.
This was at the end of July, I've since carefully measured up and luckily I've not bent anything structural on the shell or the subframe mounting points so it can be repaired. Updates to follow.
