Lol, as practical as I may be my welds are shite!
Besides I've seen flans build and he has some mad skills there! But I don't know which direction I want to go...
There is a part of me that really wants a turbo lump with Antilag in a Clio for s***s and giggles...not really much need on a K04...but could be amusing Pmsl
Plan is just to get her on track ATM engine will come..all good things eh!

Pops and bangs map it is then lol
Boddied f4r is proberly the total cost of the vag swap.
In the mean time my cammed f7r will have to do, will run it in to the ground just to get some use out of her! She's gotta be 170bhp or so, quick enough to cut my teeth on track

agreed but only a weekend to put it in and if you buy a complete secondhand setup you'd get your money back.

Funny part is if it happened to most of the culprits on here they'd be traumatised for life and want thousands out of it lol
No nasty pics of of claret everywhere please, I'll puke

Bit of an update
Pics xx
Can see the slight colour difference here
Touch ups required my shoddy primer
Things still to do:-
Touch up cage..(pic3 you can see where my primer wasn't very good)
Remove bumpers and wings for painting
Paint car (lol)
Touch in the cage in the engine bay (in the old colour)
Lacquer grill
Flat and polish
Reassemble
Paint finish is fantastic...and it's not had a wet sand and polish yet?!?
Proberly OTT for track!
Anyway enough waffle here's some pics
Getting excited
Ready for collection!
Excited isnt the word, the trailer is booked for saturday!! YAY!!

Looks really epic now mate.
Although I must admit the sunroof shell looks a bit out of place with such a comprehensive cage, seems a bit of a mismatch.
Cant wait to see it finished though, certainly been a long time in the making now.
Have you made a decision about where to end up engine wise with it?

yeah sun roof is a bit of a let down really, toyed so much with a re skin... but its an expensive panel (circa £450) which is half the cost of a carbon replacement i just couldnt justify a standard panel.(although in hindsight i proberly could of) I shall fit a carbon composite sunroof plug in the mean time and toyed with the idea of a Subaru Type RA scoop.. but not feeling it today tbh lol
Yeah time is of no meaning, im in no real rush. Just want things done right ya know.
Engine for now will stay the stock ish F7R, which is enough to cut my teeth with on track, for now. Then Either fit an F4R on Bodies as they seem to make good power.
The VAG 1.8T conversion is VERY tempting to me But ALOT of people have told me its a bit of a shite conversion very tight. But is proberly the only way i'll get a good honest 300bhp out of her. So tbh is still the main train of thought.
but for now.. i just want to get her done with her currant engine and get her out on track! LOL
Still an aweful lot to buy
big things being
Seats
Dash2
Windows
decent tyres (which are no longer cheap lol)
then theres the wiring etc etc
reckon theres another £1500 to spend yet. Joy (missus has just gone "what!!" lol!! ) but havent come this far just for a few rush's and bodges to finish it....

Dash2 is about 1200 quid with the datalogger if you buy them seperate so you can use the logger in others cars if you are getting that as well, and if you add in the ecu interface as well for whatever ECU you end up running (IMHO its a bit pointless having a dash2 and not running it as thats half the functionality missing without it) and you are near to your whole 1500 quid budget just for that
Do love mine though, despite them being expensive.
This is mine in situ:
Cool bit of kit, but a total waste of money on just a trackday car really, lol

£1500 isnt the budget either... it'll cost what it'll cost lol!
Electronics will be the last thing to buy.
Going to consentreate on getting her more complete as a car,
probabably in this order
windscreen - local company
poly Windows, ACW plastics
GRP dash - Found a company that make one i like. verys simple does the job and nothing else lol (mk2 dash wont fit either! damn cage)
seats - still not sure what i want yet.
harnesses
battery and cage --- Can i mount a race battery flat? (underseat?)
Dash2 display & Data Cable - Figure the if i use a 172 digital speedo sensor from the gearbox it saves me buying another set of hubs with abs rings
Ecu - Omex/Emerald/Canems/ megasquirt?...(i dont like the look of MS just looks cheap but its gotta be better than the mk1 ecu)
Think there is ALOT more than £1500 there PMSL! S'only Money lol... i know i'll never see any of this again and i'll do it now before im married with kids and find it impossible.

Yes you can mount a race battery flat mate. If you mount it under your seat just make sure you've got enough space between the base of the seat and the battery. I can measure mine for you if you need to know how tall they are (including the holder) for a varley redtop 25.
By the way I noticed you have a black dash top then a grey dash then a grey centre console, that colourscheme might look better with a black center console instead?
If so if you drop me a text or pm before I go and pick up my new car tomorrow morning (ie before about 11am) I can bring one up to french car show for you? (price to you = free)
