Definitiely.
Thank you.
Thank you.

love the cage, lovin the seats even more tho, ow much they set u back?
Seats are around £675 +VAT each. but i pulled a few strings and paid far less than that!
As for the dash, i asked Mark just to cut it quick and get it in. There was no point paying him labour for something i can do. So it will be tidied, and flocked, and will look pimp!

Rip the dash out and make a custom one.
Cage looks like a good job. Get it sprayed in a lary colour they always look best that way!
I fear that you will be spending all this money getting the car build, only to not win the events.
Last years champions a reasonably fast car no where near the fastest however they got 2 racing drivers to drive and of course they wiped the floor!

its the same sort of money i would spend on building the car to a track spec anyways.
ok due to Time Attack it might of happen quicker than normal, but i still would of done it this way.
As for winning, whilst i am gonna do my best at doing so, if i dont, then i dont. Its not like this is a tens of thousands of pounds worth of build, with people's lively hood depending on it.
Having said that, with what is being done to the car, it will be a very competitve machine, so i guess my driving skills are only gonan be the chink in the armour.
we will have to wait and see!

very interested in this and the time attack events, will have to keep my eyes on this, looks good mate
Fantastic job there, looks solid!
I will make sure I get my arse up to a Time Attack event this year and get some pics. You hoping to do every event? Looking at the list it will have to be Brands Hatch for me, that's the only circuit remotely "near", unless they do the demo at Castle Combe again of course.

may be up for road tripping with you chris...
Sounds good, I managed 22 events this year not including Cliosport stuff, aiming for 30 this year so I will be no doubt going all over the place. Give us a shout when the MMX Championship comes down to Asham Woods again as well, really really enjoyed that last year.

Yeh i understand it will certainly be a beats when its complete.
Il try pop along to some rounds, lend a hand and all that!
If you do want a days instruction at each circuit beforehand and shown the lines or even half a day i can put you in touch with a few people that wont rob you!
as already said it looks good and will be a beast!
While i think the dash could be neater, i understand how its been done, if mark had spent ages cuting it out perfectly the bill would be huge, how many race teams PC polish there race cars and worry about looks? its there to save ur life not look pretty

Although I don't think it does the car might need to be checked for safety and otherwise it would fail. Other caged cars on here arn't checked for proper race compliance.Nice to see someone on here has proper harness bars!
For those who don't know here how a harness should be

Have a look at page 5 on the time attack rules. There is a diagram of an acceptable up to 45deg angle on the belts. I will have to look at how this compares to the angle mounted into the rear seat belt mounts.

Weeman sucks ****
wow dave! i hope your account handling skills are as good as that, PLC
ok, time for a bit of an update....
As you can see cage needed a spot of paint. I was going to get this done professionally, but seeing as i work for a car paint supplier i thought i would give it a go myself.
ok, first thing first was to get the sound deadening out. Heat gun and scraper in hand, i attacked it...
roof panels were a b**ch!
So once i had got out everything that i wanted, it was a case of removing the left over glue
So once that was all done it was time to mask the car ready for some paint, a pain staking task!
After a hoover and degreaser it was on with a wash etch primer. This eats into the metal to give a solid base for the primers and topcoats to go onto.
Once that was all on and dried, a high build primer was next up.
Once that had a good 24 hours to dry, it was all ready for the colour! I went with white on the interior to keep it simple and plain, with the seats, harnesses and dash adding any colour or contrast.
fairly pleased with the outcome!
Dash is waiting to be cleaner up then sent to be flocked.
then next on the hit list is front bumper off, to fit remove these:
and fit these:

Actually the MSA Blue Book only states that they have to be fitted according to the Manufacturers specifications, although it does also have this FIA diagram.
So mounting the belts low would be acceptable for competition cars, not ideal certaintly but they wouldnt fail scrutineering

good job on the spraying, did you hand paint the difficult bits on the cage you couldn't reach ?
will do mate, i think D4ve mentioned that Mark Fish takes circa 4 hours to do?!?!

Wow, had no idea you'd put so much effort into it.
Looked absolutely mint!
