Okay peeps bit more of an update for you Been a little while i've been waiting for piles of stuff!

So where to start... uummm... okay...

The interior

Well through my many sources i managed to get hold of a ZS MK2 dash, i love the round vents, and i knew it would compliment the round dials perfectly! I wanted to keep the mk1 centre console after all the work i have put into it.
I've decided to use the mk2 hazard light switch as an engine start instead
So after a morning of swapping more wiring over and fighting with 2 dashboards I finally got it in, best mod to date definitely!
After a little bit of umm'n and arrrr'n I decided to have a little try with the up and coming craze of flocking. I sent my centre console, heater controls surround, ash tray and the strip above the mk2 dash for flocking.
When I got them back I was so impressed, done a brilliant job and they look fantastic! Gives the interior some well deserved class
Finally I decided that the bland mk2 400 dials are totally ruining my interior! They look ancient, so I got in contact with a guy who custom makes dials to any spec you like (www.skewer.co.uk) .... after more decision making..... I settled on the Ferrari Enzo style dials :wink: Fitted them up today and I think they look fantastic! Judge for yourself Share your thoughts....









Brakes

After yet MORE decision making I thought it best that I consider a hardcore brake upgrade to deal with all the ponies i'm going to be trying to obtain, having a car that can slam up to 100mph like a porsche is fine, but i need it to handle and out handle anything it comes up against on and off the track, so I swallowed hard and ordered myself 330mm AP Racing 4 Pot Racing calipers, grooved disks and Ferrodo DS2500 pads with 5.1 racing fluid and braided hoses, all from Reylands.
Test fitted them tuesday waiting for the weekend to fit them properly here's a few pics! enjoy. Again opinions welcomed






Enjoy questions and comments welcomed
