Cheers dude Smile

Quickly threw together the beginnings of a passenger foot rest today. Gonna paint it up and got some grip tape to go on it.

So not a huge deal gone on this week, had a mental week at work, so unfortunately that took priority.

Had these turn up for the front bumper

And then got handy with the welder making the adaptor plate for the front of Nialls charger.

Probably not gonna get a chance to do much for a week or so now Sad

but oh well, bigger things on the Agenda! ninja

**Eeyore** · 31-01-2014, 02:32 PM

More welding. Itll be interesting to see how those catches look on the bumper!

**Grant** · 09-02-2014, 04:15 PM

So little update for this weekend.

With most of the week spent getting Niall's car done, we managed to squeeze in an hour or so to get a couple of bits ready for mine.

Finished the passenger foot-plate.

[Image: 0DEB70DC-6D13-4ECB-843E-5898E4094099_zpsnxwoxjpn.jpg]

And also finished making the aluminium billet spacer for my quick-shift, to stop it rubbing on the exhaust, and eating away at my sanity.

Plans for this week are to fit the foot plate, fit the aero-catches to the front bumper, and then start tempting the footprint of the bumper ninja

**Eeyore** · 09-02-2014, 08:08 PM

Amazing as always! Will be interesting to see it fitted!

**c.gerrard** · 09-02-2014, 08:15 PM

What's the intention for this car?

All of the track time this year?

You've obviously put a lot of work into it.

That's the plan. I need to save the money up to get a spare set of tyres on wheels, and actually fuel the excursions. But thats the plan Smile

**Poodle** · 09-02-2014, 09:12 PM

"Plan"...

**Grant** · 09-02-2014, 09:14 PM

It all boils down to how much money I have at the time. Fingers crossed Smile

**Grant** · 22-02-2014, 04:30 PM

So a relatively productive day today.

Got the passenger footwell stripped of the bitumen sound deadening. A bit of a bitch, but easy enough with a good amount of heat:

In the process:

All hacked off:

Primered and painted:

Footrest in:

How it stands now:

Niall also kindly made up a bracket for my wink mirror, to reduce vibrations:

[Image: E843A539-45A7-4DAD-B9AC-402B540A505F_zpswx1hc9ou.jpg]

Next on the list is to fabricate a new gear stick, as the compbrake QuickShift has a few design issues, leaving a lot of play, so gonna try and eliminate that Idea

Oh, and to clear up a lengthy debate. This is about a quarter of the bitumen within the car. One half, of the passenger side:

2KG...

JethroJay · 22-02-2014, 04:35 PM

So I'm gonna ask what everyone is thinking, Supercharged or Turbo'd?

**Grant** · 22-02-2014, 04:38 PM

Neither

It's waiting for a V8 to be crammed into it.

Pompey306mark · 22-02-2014, 05:13 PM

You decided on what v8 your putting in there?

At the moment it's looking like an Audi V8, with a rear mounted Porche 924 or Alfa 75 gearbox. Then obviously fabricated prop to rear and driveshafts to suit.
