I'd personally ditch the sun strip but each to they own.
I think I've got some pictures of this at fcs expo so I'll see if I can find them on my laptop tomorrow and post them on here for you.
What pads/disc's do you run on the brembo's??
Do they squel much mine used to be horrendous
thanks man, the sun strip covers up the sumping roof liner. And im a btcc kinda guy, living the dream in a sun strip way.
If you have some photo's thatmwould great, cheers
and discs wise I have no idea, the pug1off guys had to find them to fit as there is only a mm of clearance between the wheels.
pads are oe. And squeak for about the first 100metres.
after that no noise and great power/modulation
So after a winter sorned away in the garage, the old girl is back on the road.
took it out for a blast today, forgot just how much fun it is.
seems the discs may have a bit of a wobble now. Slightly seized before, fingers crossed they true out with a little use.
fitted a mocal 16 row oil cooler after a little fabrication of the bumper to squeeze it in.
Oil changed and ready to go.
now to figure out what shows to do.
anyone thinking of retrocar live this year. Looks like it could be good.
cheers
Today I decided a new look for the car is due. The wrapped bonnet is gone, will begin painting it this week with luck, back to standard.
considering ralley blanks in replacement for the fogs.
may colour code spoiler and rubbing strips as well.
going for a cleaner smoother look.
ill try and keeps photo's coming.
So I have comitted to the fact this car is only ever thrashed. So let the stripping out begin.
then two fixed buckets and maybe an omp steering wheel. Let the real fun begin....
photo's to follow.

When you aiming toget it on track? Have you noticed the rear higher now
Back end seems a tad higher, not a bad thing. Now im figuring out where to stop with the stripping. Track wise i am booked in at retro car in august at rockingham. And hills at prescott of course, 4 runs booked so far.

Today was hot right, so hot I took the bonnet off the car.
that and it went into the body shop. Come on shiny bonnet.
Simple bit of colour coding as I have a spare 5 minutes.
