So started on the door cards today  got one of them shaped just going to give the edges a quick rub down to smooth them out more and get hold of a hole saw so I can cut a hole out for the window winder and door handle

Will be picking up my new beam tomorrow built by Stef205  so as I'm going from drum to disk am I right in thinking I can keep the existing brake lines but have to change the handbrake cable?

I would like to get it on for spring action but don't think I would have the funds as I'll need to get disks, callipers and new front springs to drop it to match the back, I'm hoping all the suspension and brakes will be done for FCS

You still want the brakes mate

[Nathan1305]

Going to be getting these ones  fit me perfectly and they are a composite shell rather that a steel frame so much lighter and stronger

Nice seats, had corbeau's in my Rallye. Very comfy and usable, unlike a pure sprint seat.

Yeah thought they would be a good seat and only £150 each

[7057sam]

Yeah great seats especially for 150 each new

Sound weird but you can feel the road through you arse in buckets which means you can push (the car ) that little bit more.and also way more supportive and braced.

Yeah I love bucket seats, I used to race Karts so it was a fibreglass seat an inch off the floor with no suspension. Cant get more road feel than that haha

looking good Nathan, you need to start getting this put back together.

Yeah it's getting there  will be taking it to Spring action with the standard suspension but after I will hopefully be buying the front lowering springs and all the new brakes.

Contemplating fitting a brake bias valve. What's your opinion on fitting one? 

[Pebbles167]

I look forward to seeing it at Spring action day. I'll be there on track myself, so be sure to give me a message if you're about

no harm to fitting one, as you can have lot more control over the brake setup.
