Right suppose it's time for an update on this since it's been a while
To cut a long story short it's all gone a bit wrong.
The engine swap turned out to be a bit of a nightmare... I thought it would be more or less a straight swap but a few of the major components are in totally different places - so all the pipework that I had made up recently for the intercooler and cooling is going to have to be modified to suit.
During all that a few points were highlighted as being... not quite right. So I did a full nut and bolt assessment on it and found a load of things that either need looked at again, need changed or I'm not happy with. A few parts of the suspension are going to cause issues and I've found another few things that would cause problems if I ever want to race it.
As a result of that I've now totally run out of money for the project (buying that last engine that was supposed to solve all my engine needs actually put me into a fair bit of debt)... I can't justify spending the silly amounts of money that this car seems to constantly require to inch it closer to the finish line.
To top it all off when I was pushing it into the garage one of the front tyres caught the body kit and ripped the arch in half. That has highlighted how unsuitable the body kit is going to be for track use. I honestly thing it's going to fall apart.
So for the last few months it's been stashed in the garage in bits and I've not even looked it it. I've properly had enough of it now.
I'm totally lost as to what to do with it now. Put it away and look at it again with fresh eyes next year? Sell it? Set fire to it?
Now in the past few months my frustrations and stress levels have been taken the wrong way by a few people, so to save any more arguing or falling out with people none of the above is the fault of anyone that has been involved in the project past or present. Things have been done wrongly or missed because of lack of knowledge on my part or situations that were never expected. I can't think Dreadnought Racing, Stainless Creations, Sitech and ZRed enough for all the work done so far.
